2025 Rookie Profile: Tetairoa McMillian
2025 Rookie Profile: Tetairoa McMillian (WR) Arizona Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie profiles preview one of the top wide receivers in this class with our 2025 Rookie Profile: Tetairoa McMillian. College Resume and Stats Tetairoa McMillan, a standout wide receiver from the University of Arizona, has established himself as one of the premier talents in college football over his three-year career with the Wildcats (2022–2024). Hailing from Waimānalo, Hawaii, and later starring at Servite High School in Anaheim, California, McMillan arrived in Arizona as a five-star recruit and the highest-rated signing in program history. His college tenure was marked by consistent excellence, culminating in a decision to forgo his senior year and declare for the 2025 NFL Draft. 2022 (Freshman) – Despite sharing targets with talented teammates like Jacob Cowing and Dorian Singer, McMillan burst onto the scene with 39 receptions for 702 yards and eight touchdowns, showcasing his potential as a big-play threat. 2023 (Sophomore) – With Singer’s transfer to USC, McMillan’s role expanded. He delivered 90 receptions for 1,402 yards and 10 touchdowns, establishing himself as a go-to option for quarterback Noah Fifita. 2024 (Junior) – His final season was his most dominant, as he recorded 84 receptions for 1,319 yards and 8 touchdowns across 12 games. His standout performance came in the season opener against New Mexico, where he set a school record with 304 receiving yards and tied the program mark with four touchdown catches in one game. McMillan finished third nationally in receiving yards and earned Consensus All-American honors, the Polynesian College Football Player of the Year award, and a finalist nod for the Fred Biletnikoff Award. Career Stats (2022–2024) Receptions: 213 Receiving Yards: 3,423 (Arizona program record) Touchdowns: 26 Yards per Catch: 16.1 McMillan’s blend of size, production, and playmaking ability made him a projected first-round pick. He is the betting favorite for the WR1 mantle in the 2025 NFL Draft class. Measurables McMillian bypassed the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine to participate in Arizona’s Pro Day on March 17. His on-field performance and physical profile strongly indicate his athletic traits. Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan Since 2023: 🔴 90.5 PFF Grade (3rd) 🔴 173 Receptions (2nd) 🔴 2,712 Yards (1st) 🔴 35 Contested Catches (1st) 🔴 70 Explosive Plays (1st) pic.twitter.com/6NaY1xMCem — PFF College (@PFF_College) March 11, 2025 Height: 6-5 Weight: 215 pounds 40-Yard Dash: 4.53 (Pro Day) some scouts had him as low as 4.48. Key Traits: He has exceptional length, a large catch radius, fluid movement for his size, and an explosive burst off the line. His body control and ability to contort for acrobatic catches stand out, paired with surprising agility on route breaks. McMillan’s rare combination of height, speed, and flexibility distinguishes him as a potential red-zone beast at the wide receiver position, drawing comparisons to elite NFL talents. 4.53 (adjusted) 40 time for tet mcmillan is perfectly fine for a dominant college receiver. no concerns. buy. pic.twitter.com/NhRTCSgrXL — The Podfather (@Fantasy_Mansion) March 18, 2025 NFL Team Fits McMillan’s skill set makes him an ideal WR1 candidate for playoff-contending or mid-tier teams looking to bolster their passing attack. However, there is no consensus if NFL teams view him as the locked-in WR1 in this class. McMillian’s dynasty rookie draft value hinges on his 2025 NFL draft range. Currently, that is as high as the eighth pick down into the 20s. After Arizona’s Pro Day, McMillian was listed as -280 to be the first wideout selected. New England Patriots (1.04) – New England needs to develop a true alpha No. 1 wide receiver to support Drake Maye. However, McMillian is not projected to go this high, and the rebuilding Patriots have myriad other holes to fill. Las Vegas Raiders (1.06) – The Raiders desperately need help at wideout. McMillian would be a huge upgrade and take pressure off Jakobi Meyers. San Francisco 49ers (1.11) – After shipping off Deebo Samuel, the Niners are rumored to be sh0pping Brandon Aiyuk. McMillian could act as San Francisco’s No. 1 receiver if Aiyuk (knee) isn’t ready in Week 1 or is moved. Dallas Cowboys (1.12) – There are rumors that Jerry Jones loves McMillian. Additionally, wide receiver is one of the club’s top 2025 NFL Draft team needs. Seattle Seahawks (1.18) – After trading DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh, the Seahawks could use a big-bodied outside threat to complement Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Los Angeles Chargers (1.22) – The Chargers found a stud last year in Ladd McConkey. LA re-signed Mike Williams for one year, but McMillian would be a huge upgrade and long-term solution on the perimeter. NFL Comparison McMillan’s game evokes Mike Evans with a modern twist. Like Evans, he’s a 6-5 target who excels at contested catches and red-zone production. He adeptly uses his frame to box out defenders. However, McMillan adds more quickness and flexibility to his route running. That gives him a higher ceiling as a yards-after-catch threat than Evans early in his career. Think of him as Evans with shades of Drake London’s fluidity—a big-bodied receiver who moves like a smaller athlete. Fantasy Outlook For fantasy football managers, Tetairoa McMillan is a top-3 prospect in 2025 rookie drafts. His college production, physical tools, and likely high draft capital position him as a top-tier asset with WR1 upside from Day 1. In redraft leagues, he’ll be a mid-to-late round pick depending on his landing spot, with immediate WR2 potential and a trajectory toward WR1 status by Year 2. In dynasty formats, McMillan is a strong contender for the No. 2 overall rookie pick. Especially in leagues that value wide receivers’ longevity over running backs. His best-case scenario of landing with a veteran signal-caller who develops a strong red-zone rapport with McMillian could yield 80+ receptions, 1,200+ yards, and 8–10 touchdowns as a rookie. Even in a crowded situation, his talent should shine through with 60–70 catches and 900–1,000 yards. McMillan’s combination of target volume, red-zone prowess, and big-play ability makes him a high-upside target
2025 Rookie Profile: Ashton Jeanty
2025 Rookie Profile: Ashton Jeanty (RB) Boise State Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie profiles begin with one of the most coveted prospects in many years. Here is our 205 Rookie Profile: Ashton Jeanty. College Resume and Stats Ashton Jeanty leaves Boise State as one of the most prolific running backs in college football history. Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, Jeanty made an immediate impact as a true freshman in 2022, rushing for 821 yards and 7 touchdowns on 156 carries (5.3 YPC) in a shared backfield. His sophomore campaign in 2023 elevated his profile, with 1,347 yards and 14 touchdowns on 220 carries (6.1 YPC), plus 43 receptions for 569 yards and 5 receiving touchdowns—tops among FBS running backs that year. Some of the things that Jeanty does on tape are just at a different level. #nfl #nfldraft #2025nfldraft #ashtonjeanty #boisestate #collegefootball pic.twitter.com/DRT5smc3b1 — Todd McShay (@McShay13) March 17, 2025 In 2024, Jeanty delivered a historic season, leading the FBS with 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns on 374 carries (7.0 YPC), coming within 27 yards of Barry Sanders’ single-season record. He added 20 catches for 138 yards and one touchdown through the air. His trophy case boasts the Maxwell Award, Doak Walker Award, unanimous All-American honors, two Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year titles, and a Heisman Trophy runner-up finish. Jeanty’s career totals—4,769 rushing yards (6.4 YPC), 50 rushing touchdowns, 862 receiving yards, and 6 receiving scores—make him Boise State’s all-time leading rusher. Measurables (Projected) Height: 5-9 Weight: 215 pounds 40-Yard Dash: 4.42 (estimated) Vertical Jump: 36 inches (estimated) Broad Jump: 10-2 (estimated) Hand Size: 9.25 inches (estimated) Jeanty’s sturdy, compact build and explosive traits suggest he’ll test well at the combine. His blend of power, speed, and agility positions him as a top-tier athlete at the position. He is widely considered the best NFL running back prospect since Saquon Barkley. NFL Fits Las Vegas Raiders (1.06) – The Raiders signed Raheem Mostert, but he’s near the end of his career and injury-prone. Jeanty would be a terrific fit in the offense that Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly will utilize, allowing Mostert to play a complementary role. Jacksonville Jaguars (1.05) – Returning home, Jeanty would pair with Trevor Lawrence, adding explosiveness to Doug Pederson’s offense. A skill-position group of Lawrence, Brian Thomas, and Jeanty would be one of the top trios in football. Chicago Bears (1.10) – Caleb Williams and a top RB like Jeanty could transform Shane Waldron’s attack. D’Andre Swift was a disappointment in his first year and Ben Johnson is a big believer in utilizing multiple running backs. Betting odds favor this pick over any other potential landing spot. Dallas Cowboys (1.12) – This is the dream scenario for fantasy purposes. The Cowboys have a long history of producing outstanding fantasy RBs. This is also likely the lowest that Jeanty is expected to be selected. NFL Comparison Ashton Jeanty evokes memories of LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers’ legendary back who redefined the RB position. At 5-9 and 215 pounds, Jeanty mirrors Tomlinson’s compact, powerful frame (5-10, 221). Both players combine elite vision, burst, and contact balance with exceptional receiving skills—Tomlinson averaged 71 catches per season over his first five years, while Jeanty’s 43 receptions in 2023 hint at similar potential. Jeanty’s ability to dominate as a runner (like Tomlinson’s 1,800-yard, 28-TD 2006 season) while excelling as a pass-catcher aligns with LT’s three-down dominance. Who does @BroncoSportsFB running back Ashton Jeanty remind @dpbrugler of? LaDainian Tomlinson 👀 pic.twitter.com/Rrr2xKpTZs — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) October 2, 2024 Though Jeanty’s college workload exceeds Tomlinson’s at San Diego State, their shared knack for explosive plays and scoring versatility makes this a fitting comp. In the NFL, Jeanty could approach Tomlinson’s fantasy ceiling: 1,500+ rushing yards, 50+ catches, and 15+ total TDs in peak seasons. Fantasy Outlook Jeanty is a rare prospect—a workhorse with elite receiving chops, poised to dominate in the NFL. His college production suggests he can handle 300+ touches as a rookie while contributing 60+ receptions in PPR-friendly offenses. For dynasty managers, he’s the undisputed 1.01 in 2025 rookie drafts. That includes QB-needy squads in Superflex formats. In redraft leagues, Jeanty’s a first-round lock (likely top-8). A floor of 1,300 total yards and 12+ touchdowns seems reasonable. His Tomlinson-esque blend of volume, efficiency, and versatility makes him a fantasy superstar in waiting.

2025 NFL Free Agents: Tight Ends
2025 NFL Free Agent Movement: Tight Ends In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can dramatically shake rosters. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major “new” season event. Therefore, it is important to note which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. Let’s conclude FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis with another underwhelming group. This is our 2025 NFL Free Agents: Tight Ends. Also, check out our Free Agents: Quarterbacks, Running Backs, and Wide Receivers.

The only above-average starter even available is Zach Ertz. However, Ertz turns 35 this season and ranked outside the top 25 in yards per route run, yards per catch, and separation. Ertz earned a raise over last year’s $3 million salary but is likely to sign a short-term deal with a contender or re-sign with the Commanders. The Jets restructured Tyler Conklin‘s contract, allowing him to hit unrestricted free agency this year. The timing might work to Conklin’s benefit as the lack of available talent will help Conklin sign another multi-year deal. Still, Conkin is a serviceable NFL tight end but has middling fantasy value as a streamable TE2. Juwan Johnson signed a 2-year, $12 million deal with New Orleans in 2023 but will test the open market. A return to the cash-strapped Saints is unlikely. Johnson has a pair of top-20 PPR finishes under his belt. However, he has never had the opportunity to be a full-time starter. There is a good chance he finally gets his chance and could secure a 3-to-4 year deal in the neighborhood of $28-32 million. Mike Gesicki posted overall TE13 numbers while also splitting snaps. The best-case scenario would be for Gesicki to return to Cincinnati, who led the league in passing and ranked sixth in scoring. If that happens, Gesicki will garner attention as a solid late-round value for fantasy managers who punt the position. However, if Gesicki joins a lesser offense, he will have a hard time being fantasy-relevant. The majority of the remaining veteran free-agent tight ends won’t attract much fantasy attention. Austin Hooper has some solid games in New England but is merely an aging journeyman. Hayden Hurst could attract attention but will be 32. A dark horse to have dynasty value is Tommy Tremble who has flashed potential and will be 25. Tremble could warrant attention as a potential starter, making him a proactive waiver wire dynasty stash.

However, coming off an October ACL tear complicates his value. Additionally, Diggs has a reputation for being a mercurial player and he will turn 32 in November. It will be difficult for him to land a lucrative long-term contract, which may lead to a one-year ‘prove it’ deal in the $12-15 million range. Davante Adams was released by the Jets on March 4. Expect him to wait to see if Aaron Rodgers signs so they can get the band back together. UPDATE: That won’t happen as Adams signed with the Rams. Throughout his career, Tee Higgins has played second fiddle to Ja’Marr Chase. But one year after playing on the franchise tag, Higgins enters free agency in his prime poised to receive plenty of offers to be a team’s WR1 finally. He’s likely priced himself out of returning to the Bengals, who still have to work an extension for Chase.

However, his efficiency has declined for three straight seasons and he’s nearing the end. UPDATE: Jones re-signed with the Vikings for two years. Najee Harris has been a consistent producer but lacks the three-down upside to attract a top-ten RB deal. He’ll have suitors but could easily wind up back in a timeshare with a rookie. Speaking of timeshare situations, Javonte Williams will look to move to a team that will allow him to be a lead back. Sean Payton is firmly committed to a rotation, so expect Williams to test the market. If he re-signs in Denver, Williams’s fantasy value takes a hit. J.K. Dobbins made the most of his one-year ‘prove it’ deal in Los Angeles. However, with a checked injury history, Dobbins will be viewed as a mid-level option as the potential lead in a rotational backfield. If he lands in an offense that is poised to cash in a bunch of short-yardage opportunities, Dobbins has middle-round fantasy value appeal.

2025 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks
2025 NFL Free Agent Movement: Quarterbacks In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can dramatically shake rosters. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major event of the “new” season. Therefore, it is important to note which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. Let’s start with the most important position, which kicks off FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis. This is our 2025 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks. Player Pos. 2024 Team 2025 Team Type Age 2024 Salary Sam Darnold QB Vikings Seahawks UFA 28 $10,000,000 Zach Wilson QB Broncos Dolphins UFA 26 $8,787,695 Trey Lance QB Cowboys Chargers UFA 25 $8,526,315 Jacoby Brissett QB Patriots Cardinals UFA 33 $8,000,000 Marcus Mariota QB Commanders Commanders UFA 32 $6,000,000 Gardner Minshew QB Raiders Chiefs UFA 29 $5,840,000 Drew Lock QB Giants Seahawks UFA 29 $5,000,000 Jarrett Stidham QB Broncos Broncos UFA 29 $5,000,000 Andy Dalton QB Panthers Panthers UFA 38 $5,000,000 Justin Fields QB Steelers Jets UFA 26 $4,717,988 Joe Flacco QB Colts Browns UFA 40 $4,500,000 Jameis Winston QB Browns Giants UFA 31 $4,000,000 Mac Jones QB Jaguars 49ers UFA 27 $3,896,585 Jimmy Garoppolo QB Rams Rams UFA 34 $3,178,750 Daniel Jones QB Vikings Colts UFA 28 $3,125,000 Mason Rudolph QB Titans Steelers UFA 30 $2,870,000 Easton Stick QB Chargers UFA 30 $2,667,500 Taylor Heinicke QB Chargers Chargers UFA 32 $2,530,000 Cooper Rush QB Cowboys Ravens UFA 32 $2,500,000 Carson Wentz QB Chiefs UFA 33 $2,500,000 Joshua Dobbs QB 49ers Patriots UFA 30 $2,250,000 Brandon Allen QB 49ers Titans UFA 33 $2,020,000 Nick Mullens QB Vikings Jaguars UFA 30 $1,900,000 Kyle Trask QB Buccaneers Buccaneers UFA 27 $1,383,834 Josh Johnson QB Ravens Commanders UFA 39 $1,377,500 C.J. Beathard QB Jaguars UFA 32 $1,310,000 Kyle Allen QB Steelers UFA 29 $1,292,500 Russell Wilson QB Steelers Giants UFA 37 $1,210,000 Teddy Bridgewater QB Lions RETIRED UFA 33 $1,210,000 Jeff Driskel QB Commanders UFA 32 $1,150,000 Tyler Huntley QB Dolphins UFA 27 $1,125,000 Tim Boyle QB Giants Titans UFA 31 $1,125,000 Shane Buechele QB Bills UFA 27 $1,025,000 Feleipe Franks QB Panthers RFA 28 $985,000 Bailey Zappe QB Browns Chiefs SFA 26 $985,000 Desmond Ridder QB Raiders Raiders RFA 26 $985,000 Sam Ehlinger QB Colts RFA 27 $902,676 Tommy DeVito QB Giants Giants UFA 27 $832,500 Jason Bean QB Colts UFA 26 $840,000 Undeniably, Sam Darnold made himself a lot of money in 2024. However, the biggest concern is what teams are willing to make him a long-term offer as a franchise signal-caller. Darnold was on the path to a career journeyman before an injury and Kevin O’Connell put him in a position to succeed. Therefore, the best-case scenario for Darnold would be to re-sign in Minnesota. However, with J.J. McCarthy already in the fold, O’Connell and company may not be willing to spend $150 million to land Darnold for multiple years. Another thing helping Darold’s value is the complete lack of talent available in the remaining crop of 2025 free-agent quarterbacks. Russell Wilson is a declining asset but he can still be an average starter in the right situation. But at 36, his best days are behind him. The QB that Wilson replaced in Pittsburgh, Justin Fields, looks destined to be a backup. In all, the 2025 QB free-agent crop is one of the worst seasons in memory to require a veteran signal-caller.

2025 NFL Scouting Combine | Fantasy Football Prospects to Watch
2025 NFL Scouting Combine | Fantasy Football Prospects to Watch The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine marks a pivotal moment in the NFL offseason. For fantasy football enthusiasts, it’s an early glimpse into the rookie class that could shape next season’s drafts. FullTime’s 2025 NFL Scouting Combine Fantasy Football Prospects to Watch showcases some of the incoming rookies for fantasy enthusiasts to monitor. While the combine’s drills—40-yard dashes, vertical jumps, and shuttle runs—don’t directly predict on-field success, they can elevate a prospect’s draft stock, landing them in favorable NFL situations that boost their fantasy value. With a draft class noted for its depth at positions like running back and tight end, but lacking some of the star power of previous years, this year’s combine offers a chance to spot hidden gems and confirm top talents. Here are some prospects to keep an eye on over the next few days, each with the potential to make a fantasy impact in 2025. Also, check out our 2025 Dynasty Rookie Rankings. Quarterbacks Cam Ward (Miami) – Ward enters the combine as one of the top quarterback prospects, alongside Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. His arm talent and improvisational skills have drawn comparisons to dynamic NFL playmakers. In 2024, he threw for over 4,000 yards and 36 touchdowns at Miami. Ward’s decision on whether to participate in throwing drills will be critical. A strong session could solidify him as a top-10 pick, potentially landing him with a team like the Tennessee Titans or New York Giants, where he’d have Malik Nabers to boost his fantasy value. Look for his arm strength and accuracy in intermediate throws—his bread and butter. Shedeur Sanders (Colorado) – Sanders is a polished pocket passer with elite accuracy and poise, throwing for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns in 2024. His pedigree as Deion Sanders’ son adds intrigue. However, his stats speak for themselves. He’s a near-lock for a high draft pick, making him a prime fantasy QB2 candidate. Sanders isn’t expected to run a blazing 40. But his accuracy and timing will appeal to the QB-needy teams near the top of the 2025 NFL Draft order. A true leader with the ‘clutch’ gene and bravado, Sanders is likely to start immediately in the NFL. However, Sanders will not throw at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Interested fantasy managers must wait to see what occurs at Colorado’s Pro Day. Sleeper Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) – Dart showcased elite talent in his final college season, throwing for 4,279 yards, 29 touchdowns, and just six interceptions. His dual-threat ability shone with 452 rushing yards and four scores, making him a dynamic playmaker. Dart’s arm strength, quick release, and mobility highlight his potential as a top 2025 NFL Draft prospect. In fantasy football, his high-volume passing and rushing upside mirror quarterbacks like a young Dak Prescott, offering significant fantasy potential. With experience in Lane Kiffin’s explosive offense, Dart’s fantasy stock is rising. Running Backs Ashton Jeanty (Boise State) – Jeanty is the consensus RB1, racking up an absurd 2,497 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024. His blend of power, speed, and receiving ability (43 catches) screams three-down back, a fantasy goldmine. Jeanty’s opting out of workouts, but his resume speaks for itself. A first-round landing spot with a run-heavy team like the Las Vegas Raiders, Chicago Bears, or Dallas Cowboys would make him a top-12 fantasy RB as a rookie. Omarion Hampton (North Carolina) – Hampton’s explosiveness (1,863 yards, 15 TDs in 2024) and home-run ability make him a tantalizing prospect. He’s not Jeanty, but he’s a strong RB2 candidate with plenty of upside. Also, he’s a solid pass-catcher who reeled in 38 grabs last fall. With Jeanty sitting out, Hampton has a chance to shine. A good 40 time and effort in agility drills showcasing his burst could lock him into Round 1, boosting his fantasy stock. Cam Skattebo (Arizona State) – Skattebo’s rugged, downhill style (1,582 yards, 19 TDs) and surprising agility for his 5-11, 225-pound frame make him a sleeper. Also, his 52 receptions in 2024 add PPR appeal. A strong showing in the three-cone drill and broad jump could elevate him from a Day 3 pick into Day 2. A landing spot with a creative offensive coordinator could unlock his fantasy potential. Bhayshul Tuten (Virginia Tech) – Tuten’s 1,371 yards and 17 TDs in 2024, plus 37 catches, make him a PPR sleeper if he lands in a zone-blocking scheme. Enjoy the last few days of Bhayshul Tuten being a fantasy sleeper before he lights up the NFL combine! 🚀🔥pic.twitter.com/8joR6Otf1x https://t.co/FrR4fVxmWg — Matt FF Dynasty 🏈 (@MattFFDynasty) February 24, 2025 UPDATE: Tuten blew away the Combine, posting an insane Speed Score of 118.3🔥. Wide Receivers Tetairoa McMillan (Arizona) – Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona’s standout wide receiver, declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after a stellar junior season, amassing 84 receptions, 1,319 yards, and eight touchdowns. At 6-5 and 210 pounds, his size and 3,423 career receiving yards make him a matchup nightmare. McMillan’s back-to-back 1,300+ yard seasons and 35 catches of 20+ air yards highlight his deep-threat ability. In fantasy football, his size, catch radius, and red-zone prowess project him as a WR1 with top-12 dynasty potential. Especially if landed by a pass-heavy NFL offense. Expect immediate impact from this likely top-15 pick. Luther Burden (Missouri) – Burden’s electric after-catch ability (725 yards, 7 TDs in 2024 despite QB struggles) and quick-twitch moves make him a PPR machine. His 2023 (1,212 yards) shows his ceiling. Running a sub-4.0 short shuttle time could remind scouts of his sophomore dominance, boosting him into Round 1. A spot with a pass-heavy team like the Chargers or Buccaneers could yield WR2 numbers. However, Burden’s reliance on short passes at Mizzou is a red flag. Can a strong Combine ease those concerns? Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State) – Egbuka’s well-rounded game (720 yards, nine touchdowns in 2024) and blazing speed make him a reliable fantasy option. He’s not
2025 Dynasty Football Stashes
2025 Dynasty Football Stashes Building a successful dynasty football roster takes effort. While other managers tune out in February, dynasty zealots are always active. One of the biggest advantages to be gained before the 2025 NFL Draft is via the waiver wire, where proactive dynasty managers can pick up the top 2025 Dynasty Football Stashes. Additionally, because some league mates are asleep at the wheel, these low-rostered stashes can often be added for free. Whether there is a pending free-agent departure, salary cap casualty, or just a young prospect in a favorable position to emerge next summer, targeting these players is integral to reinforcing a dynasty roster. Here are the top 2025 Dynasty Football Stashes to target this spring. Quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor (New York Jets) – We know Aaron Rodgers won’t be back in New York. The rebuilding Jets desperately need to find a franchise signal caller. However, both Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are expected to be gone by the time the club picks at No. 7. That would put Taylor in line to be the team’s opening-day starter. Even if the Jets land a rookie QB, Taylor can again be a bridge starter while the new regime develops the youngster. Taylor is a sneaky add in deeper Superflex formats. Aidan O’Connell/Gardner Minshew (Las Vegas Raiders) – The perpetually retooling Raiders will likely have an open competition between their two veteran incumbents. Additionally, I expect Vegas to be all in on the veteran free agents and possibly an early-round rookie. For now, O’Connell and Minshew are worth speculative adds in Superflex leagues, but I wouldn’t bid more than the minimum. Joe Milton (New England Patriots) – Milton isn’t beating out Drake Maye, but his arm looked outstanding in New England’s finale. Arm talent was never a concern for Milton at Michigan or Tennessee. It may also attract trade interest from other QB-needy teams. Running Backs Antonio Gibson (New England Patriots) – Rhamondre Stevenson’s fumble issues resulted in Gibson earning a bigger role down the stretch last season. With Mike Vrabel now in charge, New England’s backfield is wide-open. Therefore, Gibson could potentially emerge as the team’s starter this summer. Kimani Vidal (Los Angeles Chargers) – Vidal attracted attention as a sleeper last summer. However, Vidal never got more than eight touches in any game. That led to him being dropped in many dynasty leagues. However, with J.K. Dobbins hitting the open market, Vidal ascends the wide-open depth chart. Will Shipley (Philadelphia Eagles) – Kenneth Gainwell is an unrestricted free agent. If Gainwell departs, Shipley offers plus pass-catching ability as the potential change-of-pace option behind Saquon Barkley. Sincere McCormick (Las Vegas Raiders) – Everything will be up for grabs in Las Vegas, including the backfield. McCormick eventually emerged as the Raiders’ starter before incurring a season-ending injury. He averaged 4.7 yards per carry as a rookie. McCormick showed enough to earn some reps this summer, making him worthy of a stash in deeper leagues. With Pete Carroll now in town, McCormick will be given a fair chance to contend for the Raiders’ wide-open starting job. Dameon Pierce (Houston Texans) – Although he looked tremendous in a Week 18 spot start, Pierce wasn’t a good fit in Bobby Slowik’s zone scheme. Perhaps he’ll rekindle some of his rookie magic with Nick Caley now running the offense. Additionally, Pierce could be an attractive trade target after his impressive 176-yard performance to close out the regular season. Wide Receivers Malik Washington (Miami Dolphins) – As a rookie, Washington emerged as Miami’s WR3 down the stretch, averaging five weekly targets from Weeks 15-18. Also, Tyreek Hill is at odds with the team, and Odell Beckham was released. The 23-year-old ran a 4.47, making him a good fit in Mike McDaniel’s scheme. Noah Brown & Olamide Zaccheaus (Washington Commanders) – Washington improved to 17th in passing and 5th in scoring in Jayden Daniels’s first season. Brown (7.8 ppg) and Zaccheaus (7.6 ppg) both had decent showings as the team’s WR3. Both players are unrestricted free agents, but if either re-signs with Washington, they would be on the late-round flier list for 2025. Jordan Whittington (Los Angeles Rams) – For a couple of weeks Jordan Whittington looked like a legit prospect, catching 13-of-18 targets for 151 yards. But just as quickly as he emerged, the 6th-round rookie disappeared. Perhaps the pending departure of Cooper Kupp will lead to Whittington salvaging a role in the Ram’s new-look offense. Also, Tutu Atwell is worth rostering. Jalen Nailor (Minnesota Vikings) – The 2022 6th-rounder emerged as Minnesota’s WR3. Minnesota has ranked 6th, 5th, and 6th in passing in Kevin O’Connell’s three seasons at the helm. Digging Deeper Malik Heath (Green Bay) – Christian Watson will miss most, if not all of 2025 with a knee injury. Heath played 39 snaps and led the Packers in receiving (60) yards in their regular-season finale. He will have a chance to carve out a role this summer. John Metchie (Houston Texans) – An easy kid to root for, Metchie finally got some playing time down the stretch for the Texans. However, it took myriad injuries for him to earn it. With Tank Dell expected to miss 2025 and Stefon Diggs an unrestricted free agent, Metchie has a pre-draft path to a significant role. DeAndre Carter (Chicago Bears) – Keenan Allen is 32 and an unrestricted free agent. While Allen manned the slot over 54% of the time, Carter lined up inside on 69.1% of his snaps as Chicago’s WR4. If Allen departs, as anticipated, Carter could move into the slot full-time. Digging even deeper, teammate Tyler Scott also played predominantly in the slot. Scott also checks the #thirdyearbreakout box. Tight Ends Noah Gray (Kansas City Chiefs) – There’s no denying that Travis Kelce is in decline and there is a chance he retires this offseason. If Kelce does, Gray would instantly contend for TE1 numbers in Kansas City. Theo Johnson (New York Giants) – A 2024 fourth-round selection, Johnson ranked fifth
