Dike spent his first four years of college at Wisconsin in a run first offense. The 4.3 speedster flashed at times, but never was able to take over a game. He ended the season with 42 catches for 783 yards. His 18.64 yards per catch ranked 17th in the country. With Dike’s experience and athleticism, he has a ton of upside with some coaching and development.

A tale of two years. Gordon had over 2,000 total yards as a sophomore flashing great change of direction and vision. He was dangerous in space and used as a receiver in the flat. In his junior season, Gordon couldn’t seem to find any running room and tried to go for the big play too often. His Combine was mediocre running a 4.61 40-yard dash with pedestrian numbers across the board. Gordon could revert back to being a stud, but also has tons of downside on his recent film.

The son of the former Miami Dolphins’ WR, Gadsden II is the ultimate tweener prospect. He is too big to be a WR, but not quite built enough to be an in-line TE. Gadsden landed in a promising spot without a long-term TE -- and alongside Justin Herbert.

Two straight 1,500-yard rushing seasons with double-digit TDs marks Brooks’ success at Texas Tech. His shifty feet lead to very few hard hits, and Brooks can certainly hit the homerun. Outside of missing one game in 2024 with an arm injury, Brooks has been healthy despite being a bellcow with 576 carries over the past two seasons. Though the downfield passing offense rarely targeted him as a receiver, that may be Brooks’ best role in the NFL.

Mafah had two straight 1,000+ total yard season at Clemson. A powerful inside runner, Mafah takes good angles to maximize yardage. A bit of a plodder, but he is explosive enough to make an NFL roster. Being added to an open Cowboys depth chart could give Mafah room to make the roster.
Restrepo tallied two straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons for Miami, showing up as a reliable slot. He disappointed at the NFL Combine, though, ultimately going undrafted.

Prather went from the top WR at West Virginia to playing second fiddle to Tai Felton at Maryland. A downgrade at QB caused a slight decrease of production, but Prather is a big, rangy athlete who is also a sharp route runner. Though he has never cleared more than 700 yards receiving in a single season, he has the traits to stick in Buffalo.

Lovett led Missouri in catches (56) and receiving yards (846) as a sophomore in 2022. That represented 22.3% and 30.4% market shares, respectively. The production came alongside WR Luther Burden, albeit the true freshman version. Lovett’s production flatlined at Georgia over the past two seasons. Still, in 2024, he led a squad that lost Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey to the NFL in catches (59) and receiving yards (607). Primarily a slot, Lovett proved capable of uncovering on short routes. He can be bullied at the catch point, though, and brings average size to the NFL.

Wester’s production ticked up from 2022-2023 with 169 catches, 1,882 yards, and 16 TDs. He primarily played in the slot. Next came a transfer to Colorado and a chance to play with QB Shedeur Sanders. Wester ranked a clear second behind Travis Hunter in catches (74), yards (931), and TDs (10). He remained a slot target. Wester’s speed was just OK relative to his size at the Combine. The tape shows a smooth mover, but he’s simply unlikely to develop into a high-volume target as a pro.

The yardage marked a nice 27.2% team share, while Taylor added a strong 2.60 yards per route run. The Alabama native remained steady as an outside WR in 2024.

Taylor missed three games in 2024 but remained busy on a per game basis (23 touches per). The former Round 2 pick is under contract for two more seasons

Mason delivered fantasy gold before the return of Christian McCaffrey. Mason later landed on IR with an ankle injury, but we've seen no reason for long-term concern. A trade to the Vikings supplies a part-time role in 2025 – with a potential starting gig coming in ‘26
It was a disappointing 2024 for Samuel, who couldn’t seem to get much going despite injuries to Brandon Aiyuk and Christian McCaffrey. The veteran WR tallied just 51-670-3 in 14 games. A move to Washington supplies a shot at a larger role -- and a chance to play with one of the NFL's top young QBs. Deebo's unlikely to deliver fantasy value beyond the next couple of years, though.

Coleman flashed some talent in 2024, but a wrist injury sidelined him for most of the second half of the year. He's still young and paired with QB Josh Allen for the foreseeable future. Buffalo's addition of WR Josh Palmer isn't ideal, but he doesn't crush Coleman's dynasty value.

Swift’s usage took an odd turn in 2022. His receiving numbers dipped, while his goal line production was capped by Jamaal Williams. Detroit showed their cards the next offseason, signing David Montgomery early in free agency (3 years, $18 million). Swift, of course, was dealt to Philly following the Lions' addition of Jahmyr Gibbs. His 2023 in Philly proved inconsistent, but he ultimately set career highs in touches and yardage. Chicago provided a fine free agent spot for volume, but a poorly orchestrated offense and a weak O-line limited the fantasy impact. Swift isn't someone we'd be betting on going forward

Pollard set career highs across the board in 2022. He earned the franchise tag in March of '23, then watched the team release veteran Zeke Elliott. Still, coming off a January fibula fracture, Pollard took a major step back in 2023. Pollard rebounded in 2024, outplaying Tyjae Spears and playing through injuries to post his third straight 1,000-yard season. The drawback is that he’ll play 2025 at 28 years old, so he’s likely in the tail-end of his prime.

Kincaid had a disappointing 2024, ending up as the TE21 in points per game. Dealing with injuries and an uneven offensive passing game didn’t help his numbers. On the bright side, he drew 75 targets in only 13 games, so Josh Allen has not given up on the young TE. Buffalo remains without a clear WR1, helping raise Kincaid’s bounce-back appeal in 2025.

Bigsby wrapped up a productive career at Auburn with 540-2,903-25 (35 games). He tested as an average athlete at the Combine, however, and his struggles carried over into a mistake-filled first season. Bigsby looked like a different back in 2024, showing the power and burst that made him an attractive prospect. A wrench was thrown into his 2025 plans, as the Jags traded him to Philly over the summer. He’ll settle into a backup/handcuff role.

He managed to get on the field early and eventually work in tandem with Leonard Fournette. 2023 turned up workhorse usage, boosted by a thin backfield and a surprisingly effective Baker Mayfield.

Shipley packs an all-around game into a 5’11, 210-pound frame. His pass-catching ability should excite you for fantasy. He caught 84 balls for his career and averaged 7 yards after the catch per reception. Landing spot is a clear issue, though. Saquon Barkley will stick around for 1-2+ more seasons.
Kupp ended the 2024 season as a WR4 or worse in four of his last five games. He also sustained another injury – this time a high-ankle sprain. Kupp landed on his feet, though, inking a three-year, $45 million deal with Seattle. The fit with QB Sam Darnold is questionable, but Kupp should see fantasy-friendly volume – if he can stay healthy.

Harris was out-played by Jaylen Warren at times in 2023. Still, the 'Bama product managed to play all 17 games and hit 1,200+ total yards for the third straight season. Harris remained Pittsburgh's go-to rusher in 2024, although he lacked much of a fantasy ceiling. He landed in an excellent spot this offseason, as the Chargers supply a strong O-line and run-game commitment. His worrisome eye injury also dampens any expectations.

Singletary really emerged over the second half of the 2023 season. Rendering Dameon Pierce useless, the former Bill set career highs in carries (216) and yards (898). Come March of 2024, he inked a three-year, $16.5 million deal with New York. A poor offensive environment and the rise of Tyrone Tracy Jr. kept Singletary's fantasy production in check last fall. A 2025 rebound is unlikely.

As a rookie, Pierce quickly reached the top of Houston’s depth chart and easily led the team in all major rushing categories. But the 4th-round pick took a huge step back under OC Bobby Slowik and HC DeMeco Ryans and failed to rebound alongside Joe Mixon in 2024.

Higbee missed most of 2024 rehabbing an ACL and MCL injury, but returned with some success as a weapon for Matthew Stafford. He is under contract for one more season but will likely move on in 2026. The Rams drafted his replacement in Round 2 TE Terrance Ferguson.
Whyle played the H-Back role for the Titans, and the offense simply wasn’t good enough for him to be fantasy relevant. He may stick around on the roster, but is unlikely to do much from a fantasy perspective. Round 4 TE Gunnar Helm arrived in the draft.

Hill was back to is swiss army knife role, but struggled with injuries all year. A late ACL tear that included other damage may threaten Hill’s career as he enters his 35-year old season in 2025. He did have three top five fantasy finishes in his eight games played, but there is no guarantee that Hill is able to play effectively again.

Knox continued to earn work in 2024, especially when Dalton Kincaid was injured. He is under contract through 2026 and will need an injury to Kincaid to be useful.

There’s not much to like beyond Ruckert’s past draft capital (Round 3). He’s tallied only 35 catches through three seasons. The Jets also added TE Mason Taylor in Round 2 of the ‘25 draft.

Schoonmaker flashed a bit when Jake Ferguson was hurt, but the second-year player didn’t do enough to be a fantasy starter even then. He is unlikely to pass Jake Ferguson anytime soon.

Injuries and inconsistent play remained a theme for Richardson in 2024. We will see if he starts the entire season for the Colts in 2025 or if Daniel Jones also gets some opportunities.

Brissett isn't a long-term solution, but his play down the stretch in 2025 could get him a starting opportunity to open 2026. The veteran turned 33 in December.

Rattler, a five-star high school recruit, lost his job to Caleb Williams at Oklahoma. Transferring to South Carolina, Rattler never delivered on the massive hype that followed him to Norman. Still, he flashed the arm talent and arm strength that excited evaluators just a few years ago. The NFL draft wasn't kind to Rattler, as he fell to Round 5 in 2024. He made several starts as a rookie but ultimately looked overmatched for a talent-thin Saints offense. Rattler will have to battle to see the field in 2025, even if Derek Carr’s shoulder injury proves serious. New Orleans spent a Round 2 pick on QB Tyler Shough.

Cousins lasted 14 games as a year-one Falcon ... and then was benched for Round 1 pick Michael Penix Jr. He could still be traded midseason to a contender and earn back some fantasy value. We'd be surprised if he starts beyond then

Rodgers tore his Achilles back in Week 1 of 2023. Returning for 2024, he proved to be a net negative for fantasy managers -- despite a mid-season trade for Davante Adams. Being paired with DK Metcalf could give him some streaming value, but he is likely to retire before next season.

Wilson recaptured his early and mid-career magic for part of the 2024 campaign. He fizzled down the stretch, though, finishing as a QB1 in only one of his final eight games. Wilson was benched ahead of Week 4 of the 2025 season and probably won't get another opportunity to start in 2026.
