    After an incredible 2024 rookie class for fantasy, the 2025 fantasy rookie class faced a much heavier spotlight this offseason, with offseason ADPs inflated by the 2024 class showing a ceiling of what’s possible for NFL debutants.

    Thus far, we’ve seen a mixed bag of a good amount of hits, a few key misses, but crucially, encouraging standouts and depth across all four fantasy positions. We’ve also seen a good bit of shakeup in how these players were valued only a few months ago, with several players emerging from later rounds and the order among the perceived elite rookies also jumbling up.

    NOTE: I wrote a mock draft in June 2025, so I’ll be referencing that in the “previous” section of each pick. Also, like that draft, this draft is for SuperFlex formats, although in a weak QB class like this one, that’ll be less apparent.

    Without further ado, let’s get into the re-draft.

    Pick 1.01: WR Emeka Egbuka, Bucs (Previous: 1.08)

    In June, I wrote Egbuka “has the most obvious fantasy football skillset of any WR in this class but unfortunately drew a rough short-term landing spot in Tampa Bay”. In the months since, Chris Godwin’s injury proved worse than feared, Mike Evans suffered three separate injuries to cost him his 2025 season, and even incumbent WR3 Jalen McMillan suffered a scary neck injury in the preseason. Everything broke right for Egbuka, and then he has absolutely smashed given the opportunity. Without question, he is the WR1 in this great offense going forward, and he’s proven those who thought he was the surest NFL WR in the class correct.

    Pick 1.02: RB Ashton Jeanty, Raiders (Previous: 1.01)

    I would not have thought unseating Jeanty as the 1.01 in this class within the first two months of the season was possible barring Jeanty suffering a serious injury. Such is the magnitude of how good Egbuka, who has overtaken Jeanty by multiple spots on KeepTradeCut, has been to begin his career. Jeanty hasn’t struggled, per say, but the Raiders have been abominable, and the value of being their running back with a hammerlock on a huge share of the backfield touches hasn’t consistently yielded fantasy value. My confidence in Jeanty as a great NFL RB hasn’t decreased much, and he’s still technically been the RB18 overall and RB17 in PPG.

    Pick 1.03: TE Tyler Warren, Colts (Previous: 1.09)

    We’re living in the greatest era for rookie TEs in the history of fantasy football at the moment. From the first quarter of NFL football Warren played, it was apparent he was going to be a fantasy stud. His profile was one of contrasts between an incredibly productive 2024 college season with immensely versatile usage and a late breakout with mediocre athletic measurables. The Colts offense has leaned heavily into that versatility and productivity, and Warren has never looked back. He still trails behind Brock Bowers and Trey McBride on KeepTradeCut, but you can make an argument for any of the three as overall TE1 for dynasty.

    Pick 1.04: WR Tetairoa McMillan, Panthers (Previous: 1.03)

    TMac aggressively passes the eye test as a silky smooth No. 1 WR in the NFL. Unfortunately, Bryce Young has not meaningfully improved as a QB in year three, and the Panthers have leaned into a run-heavy attack. Carolina also isn’t leaning into McMillan’s skillset in the redzone much, which has hurt his fantasy production as a rookie. Still, McMillan is tied for seventh in the NFL in targets through eight weeks, and while he’s underwhelmed on a points per game basis, he’s still been a reliable fantasy WR2 in his first two months in the league. The path to being a backend WR1 doesn’t require a massive leap.

    Pick 1.05: RB Omarion Hampton, Chargers (Previous: 1.02)

    Hampton was delivering on a lot of what he was taken as the consensus 1.02 for before his ankle injury, as he remains the RB14 in PPG. Kimani Vidal has looked quite good in his place and will have plenty of more runway given the perceived severity of Hampton’s injury, but it doesn’t feel like he’s a real threat to take his job long-term. His unlikeliness to regain the workload he had before his injury in 2025 is the reason I’ve dropped Hampton below Warren and McMillan. He’s still got a great chance to carry an ADP in the first two rounds in 2026.

    Pick 1.06: RB Quinshon Judkins, Browns (Previous: 1.07)
