The Kansas City Chiefs selected Florida WR Elijhah Badger to a Undrafted Free Agent Contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. A speedy 4.4 player, Badger can make a number of different catches and reliably gets open against man coverage. Badger led Arizona State in receiving in 2022 and 2023 before leaving for the SEC in 2024. He continued his success at Florida, leading the team in receiving yards and TDs. He had a 9.30 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 26th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 19.3%, and 15th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 81.5. He is currently 23 years old with a Breakout Age of 21.1. He ranked 23rd among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.03. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Jeff Janis. His experience and athletic upside make him an intriguing sleeper option.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Badger has some interesting advanced analytics, including his athleticism, target share and more.

He had success at Arizona State before transferring to Florida, and has the athletic upside to perhaps make the practice squad for the Chiefs.

Badger is worth keeping an eye on, but he has no redraft or dynasty value right now.
