2025 Rookie Profile: Travis Hunter (WR/CB) Colorado

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports examine the reigning Heisman Trophy Winner, 2025 Rookie Profile: Travis Hunter.

Resume

Travis Hunter Jr. is widely regarded as one of the most versatile players in college football history. Born on May 18, 2003, in West Palm Beach, Florida, Hunter moved to Georgia as a teenager and emerged as a standout at Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Georgia. As a five-star recruit—the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2022 class per 247Sports and Rivals—he shocked the recruiting world by committing to Jackson State, an FCS program, under head coach Deion Sanders, over powerhouse Florida State.

After one season with the Tigers, Hunter followed Sanders to Colorado in 2023, where he redefined two-way stardom. In 2024, he capped his college career with a Heisman Trophy, becoming the first player to win both the Chuck Bednarik Award (top defensive player) and Fred Biletnikoff Award (top wide receiver), alongside a slew of other accolades including the Walter Camp Award, AP Player of the Year, and unanimous All-American honors…

As the rookie season heats up and Dynasty Football enthusiasts prepare for the next season, now is an excellent time to trade off aging veterans. Selling players for draft capital is a time-honored tradition in dynasty formats. These Dynasty Rankings: 3 Veteran RBs to Fade will allow you to cash out high or know which veteran backs to ignore in start-up drafts.

This feature is courtesy of Frank Taddeo.

Christian McCaffrey (RB) San Francisco 49ers

Last summer, Christian McCaffrey was the near-unanimous No. 1 pick in fantasy football drafts following a stellar 2023 season, where he racked up 2,023 scrimmage yards and 21 touchdowns. However, after appearing in just four games last year, the San Francisco 49ers running back left fantasy managers disappointed.

Looking ahead to 2025, fantasy players should hesitate before using a first-round pick on the three-time Pro Bowler, who has now missed substantial playing time in three of his past five seasons.

The seasoned running back struggled to stay healthy last season, sidelined by Achilles and knee issues. Fantasy managers who selected McCaffrey early were let down, especially as the 49ers appeared to downplay the severity of his injuries during the preseason.

After finishing as the RB69 in PPR leagues last season, fantasy managers should approach McCaffrey with caution rather than slotting him as an RB1 for the upcoming year. His recent injury history and the physical toll of eight NFL seasons make him a questionable value, despite an ADP that still places him among the top five running backs.

Dynasty League excitement is building at the Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC). Don’t miss your chance to join the action!

2025 CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY FANTASY FOOTBALL OUTLOOK

Rookie Isaac Guerendo stepped up for the 49ers, delivering four double-digit PPR performances after Week 7. The ex-Louisville star is currently the direct backup to McCaffrey on San Francisco’s depth chart.

Grant Cohn, OnSI’s 49ers reporter, recently noted that head coach Kyle Shanahan hinted at the NFL League meetings about adding another running back in this month’s draft: “We’ll see if we add one in the draft, but you’d like to add one every year.”

Though McCaffrey is only one year removed from a historic 2023 season—where he scored a touchdown in 16 straight games—the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the Year carries significant risk as a first-round pick.

With injury concerns and potential competition for the lead role, McCaffrey stands out as an overvalued selection who may not deliver the elite RB1 numbers fantasy managers expect.

2025 Rookie Profile: TreVeyon Henderson (RB) Ohio State

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports looks at the first of two superlative running backs from Ohio State,  2025 rookie profile: TreVeyon Henderson.

Resume

TreVeyon Henderson, a standout running back from Ohio State, entered college as a five-star recruit from Hopewell, Virginia, ranked as the No. 1 running back in the 2021 recruiting class. He burst onto the scene as a true freshman, rewriting the Buckeyes’ record books and showcasing his elite playmaking ability.

Despite battling injuries in his sophomore and junior seasons, Henderson returned to form in 2024, splitting carries with Quinshon Judkins while helping Ohio State secure a National Championship. His blend of explosiveness, vision, and versatility makes him one of the top running back prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, projected as a Day 2 pick with immediate fantasy football upside…

Dynasty Fantasy Football | 3 Underrated Running Backs

Dynasty Fantasy Football: Chase Brown Leads Trio of RB Values As the 2025 NFL Draft looms, pinpointing running backs overlooked in early ADP rankings could be the key to fantasy football glory. Post-free agency, the excitement is palpable in Dynasty Leagues at the Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC). Now is the perfect time to join the fun with Dynasty Fantasy Football! Before your dynasty fantasy football draft kicks off, here are three running backs ranked outside the top 30 in ADP, emerging as prime value picks for 2025. This feature is courtesy of Frank Taddeo. Chase Brown (RB) Cincinnati Bengals Brown burst onto the scene last year, securing the RB10 spot in PPR leagues. When veteran Zack Moss landed on IR with a season-ending neck injury, Brown excelled as the primary back. He ranked as the overall RB6 from Week 8 to Week 18, averaging 19.6 fantasy points per game. In only his second NFL season, the ex-Illinois star dazzled with his versatility, rushing for 990 yards and seven touchdowns. He also caught 54 passes for 360 yards and four additional scores. Playing alongside Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins, Brown’s 2025 potential skyrockets as defenses can’t focus solely on stopping the run against Cincinnati’s dynamic passing game. Comparable to elite backs like Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson, and Jahmyr Gibbs, Brown’s current RB2 valuation makes him a steal in both Dynasty and Redraft formats. He’s a prime mid-round target in early 2025 rankings, with the potential to deliver RB1 numbers. Jaylen Warren (RB) Pittsburgh Steelers With Najee Harris now a Charger, Warren currently reigns atop the Steelers’ depth chart ahead of the NFL Draft. In 2024, Warren ended as RB39, averaging 8.3 PPR points per game. Yet, a closer look shows he was RB23 from Week 11 to Week 18, hinting at his ability to post double-digit points with more opportunities. Sporting an ADP of RB28, this dual-threat talent shapes up as a solid RB2/Flex option with increased touches. Fantasy managers should monitor the Steelers’ draft moves closely—if they snag a top running back prospect, Warren’s ceiling could dip in Arthur Smith’s run-centric system, pushing his draft stock from mid-rounds (Rounds 6-7) to later rounds (Rounds 10+). Bucky Irving (RB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers Irving, finishing as RB13 in his rookie year, proved a fantasy steal for those who nabbed him with late-round picks. The former Oregon star racked up 1,122 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns, plus 47 catches for 392 yards, averaging 14.4 PPR points per game. Even with a carry split alongside Rachaad White (207 to 144), Irving shone brightest late in the fantasy season, ranking as RB6 from Week 12 to Week 18 with an 18.3-point average. Per Caleb Skinner of OnSI Tampa Bay, a potential trade of White could vault Irving into the top-5 fantasy running backs. That is despite Sean Tucker lurking on the depth chart. His dual-threat prowess makes him a dynasty league gem and a strong redraft target at his current RB10 ADP. The 2025 NFL season is underway, but it’s not too late to access the best help out there!

2025 Dynasty Rookie Rankings: Top IDP Players

2025 Dynasty Rookie Rankings: Top IDP Players In addition to the growing popularity of Dynasty leagues, fantasy football fanatics are also growing to love Individual Defensive Player (IDP) leagues. Marrying the two into IDP Dynasty leagues increases the fun. For football fans interested in the next wave of defensive players, FullTime Fantasy‘s 2025 Dynasty Rookie Rankings: Top IDP Players has you covered. Also, check out our Dynasty Dashboard and the top 10 rookie tight ends to target in 2025. IDP Overview As the 2025 fantasy football season approaches, dynasty managers in IDP leagues are gearing up for rookie drafts. This year’s defensive class is loaded with talent, particularly at edge rusher and linebacker. The group offers a mix of immediate contributors and high-upside prospects. This 2025 IDP rookie class is stacked with edge rushers who could deliver immediate sack production, alongside a few tackle machines at linebacker and safety. Travis Hunter’s unique dual-threat potential adds intrigue, but his value will depend heavily on your league’s settings. Prioritize players like Carter, Walker, and Pearce for their pass-rush upside, while Stutsman and Schwesinger offer tackle floors that can anchor your lineup. Keep an eye on the 2025 NFL Draft for landing spots, as scheme fit and opportunity will refine these rankings. For now, these 2025 dynasty rookie rankings: top IDP players are the ones to target as you build your dynasty IDP roster for the future! 1. Abdul Carter, EDGE (Penn State) Carter is the crown jewel of this IDP rookie class. A versatile defender who has lined up both as an edge rusher and off-ball linebacker, he led the Big Ten in tackles for loss (22) and sacks (11) in his final college season. His explosive athleticism and relentless motor make him a likely top-10 NFL Draft pick, and he could be an instant fantasy star if he lands with a team that maximizes his pass-rushing role. Target him early—he’s a potential cornerstone for your IDP roster. 2. Travis Hunter, CB/WR (Colorado) Hunter is a unique case, as his fantasy value hinges on how his NFL team deploys him. And how your league scores him. A Heisman winner with elite ball skills, he posted 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns as a wide receiver. He also excels as a cornerback, with six interceptions and 10 passes defended. If your league allows dual-position scoring (offense and defense), Hunter could be the No. 1 overall rookie pick. Even as a corner-only IDP, his playmaking ability makes him a high-upside target. However, corners are typically less valuable unless they rack up tackles or picks. 3. Jalon Walker, EDGE/OLB (Georgia) Walker’s blend of speed and versatility makes him a tantalizing IDP prospect. Capable of playing off the edge or as a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, he recorded eight tackles and three sacks in a single game against Texas in 2024. His athletic profile suggests he’ll be a Day 1 NFL starter, and his ability to generate sacks and tackles makes him a prime target for fantasy managers seeking a multi-category contributor. 4. Mason Graham, DL (Michigan) Interior defensive linemen rarely top IDP rankings, but Graham’s disruptive presence is an exception. A projected top-5 NFL Draft pick, he combines first-step quickness with power, tallying 3.5 sacks and a career-high tackle count in 2024. If he lands with a team that lets him penetrate and chase down quarterbacks, Graham could be a rare DT worth targeting early in rookie drafts, especially in leagues that reward sacks heavily. 5. James Pearce Jr., EDGE (Tennessee) Despite a slight dip in production (7.5 sacks in 2024 after 10 as a sophomore), Pearce remains one of the most explosive pass rushers in this class. His speed off the edge and bendy frame draw comparisons to elite NFL rushers, and he’s likely to be a first-round pick. Pearce’s fantasy value will soar if he joins a defense that lets him pin his ears back and hunt quarterbacks, making him a top-tier IDP target. 6. Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) Scourton led the Big Ten with 10 sacks in 2023 at Purdue before transferring to Texas A&M, where he continued to flash his pass-rushing prowess. At 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds, he has the size and strength to hold up against the run while still generating pressure. He’s a safe bet for consistent sack production as a rookie, making him a reliable mid-round IDP pick. 7. Jihaad Campbell, LB (Alabama) Campbell is widely regarded as one of the top linebacker prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft. At 6’3″ and 244 pounds, the Alabama junior combines ideal size, explosive athleticism, and versatility. In 2024, he led the Crimson Tide with 117 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks, earning first-team All-SEC and All-American honors. His 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine highlights his elite speed, while his ability to blitz, cover, and stop the run makes him a three-down player. Despite a recent shoulder surgery for a torn labrum, he’s projected as a late first-round pick, offering high-impact potential for any NFL defense. 8. Carson Schwesinger, LB (UCLA) Schwesinger is a riser in this class after a breakout senior year at UCLA. A one-year starter, he showcased elite production and instincts, though his average size and speed cap his ceiling slightly. Still, his potential to rack up tackles in the right scheme makes him a sneaky value pick, likely available in the second round of IDP rookie drafts. 9. Nick Emmanwori, S (South Carolina) At 6-foot-3 and 227 pounds, Emmanwori is a physical freak who could play safety or linebacker in the NFL. His size and tackling ability (he’s a high-efficiency tackler) suggest he’ll thrive near the line of scrimmage, where safeties can pile up fantasy points. If he’s the first safety off the board in the NFL Draft, expect him to climb IDP boards as a rookie with top-24 potential at his position. One of the fastest risers after the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. 10. Mykel Williams, EDGE (Georgia) Williams rounds

2025 NFL Draft: Top 10 Tight Ends

2025 NFL Draft: Top 10 Tight Ends As the annual NFL Draft approaches, Dynasty Football managers are gearing up to evaluate the incoming rookie class. The tight end position, often tricky to project for fantasy production, offers a promising group this year. While landing spots and draft capital will ultimately shape their rookie-year value, this pre-draft ranking focuses on talent, college production, and potential fantasy upside. FullTime Fantasy‘s 2025 NFL Draft: Top 10 Tight Ends is a great place to start. The 2025 tight end class lacks a singular elite prospect like Brock Bowers but boasts depth and variety. Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland headline the group as potential first-rounders with immediate fantasy relevance. Harold Fannin Jr.’s upside is undeniable, while players like Gunnar Helm and Elijah Arroyo offer intriguing value if they land in favorable situations. As the draft nears, keep an eye on team fits and offensive schemes—these will determine which of these rookies can make a splash in fantasy football come September 2025. For now, this ranking serves as a pre-draft roadmap for dynasty managers and forward-thinking redraft players alike. Here are the top 10 rookie tight ends for the 2025 fantasy football season. 1. Tyler Warren (Penn State) Tyler Warren stands out as the cream of the 2025 tight end crop. At 6’6” and 256 pounds, he’s a matchup nightmare with a rare blend of size, athleticism, and versatility. In 2024, Warren led Penn State with 104 receptions for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns, showcasing his ability to dominate as a receiver. His physicality after the catch—ranking second among tight ends in missed tackles forced—makes him a YAC threat. While his run-blocking needs refinement, Warren’s receiving prowess and red-zone potential position him as a potential Day 1 fantasy starter, especially if he lands with a pass-heavy offense. Check out Tyler Warren’s scouting report here.  2. Colston Loveland (Michigan) Colston Loveland is another blue-chip prospect with first-round buzz. At 6’5” and 248 pounds, he anchored Michigan’s passing game in 2024 despite a lackluster offense, hauling in 56 catches for 582 yards and five touchdowns in just 10 games before a shoulder injury sidelined him. His 37.6% target share and 2.67 yards per route run highlight his efficiency and reliability. Loveland’s versatility—he lined up in the slot, inline, and out wide—makes him a modern tight end with TE1 upside. If he lands with a quarterback who can maximize his skill set, he’s a prime fantasy target. 3. Harold Fannin Jr. (Bowling Green) Harold Fannin Jr. turned heads with a historic 2024 season at Bowling Green, setting NCAA tight end records with 117 receptions and 1,555 yards, plus 10 touchdowns. At 6’4” and 241 pounds, he’s a bit undersized for a traditional tight end, but his explosive receiving ability compensates. Fannin led all tight ends in forced missed tackles and posted elite yards-after-catch numbers (873 YAC in 2024). His production against Power Four teams like Penn State (11 catches, 137 yards, 1 TD) alleviates concerns about competition level. Fannin’s fantasy ceiling is sky-high if he lands in a creative offense. 4.. Elijah Arroyo (Miami) Elijah Arroyo’s limited usage at Miami belies his tantalizing potential. In 2024, he turned 35 catches into 590 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging an impressive 16.9 yards per reception—the second-best among this class’s tight ends. At 6’4” and 235 pounds, Arroyo’s speed (estimated 4.5-4.6 40-yard dash) and zero career drops scream upside. His versatility—lining up in the slot or as a wingback—adds to his appeal. Arroyo needs to bulk up and refine his route-running, but in the right system, he could emerge as a deep-league fantasy sleeper as a rookie.   Miami TE Elijah Arroyo has a compelling second- and third-level acceleration that is magnified when he’s using burst motion. I would think that any NFL team using a lot of that would find him quite interesting. pic.twitter.com/vQwMpDcCTw — Doug Farrar ✍ (@NFL_DougFarrar) March 30, 2025 5. Gunnar Helm (Texas) Gunnar Helm emerged as a breakout star for Texas in 2024, stepping up after Ja’Tavion Sanders’ departure. The 6’5”, 252-pound senior recorded 60 receptions for 786 yards and seven touchdowns, leading the Longhorns in catches. Helm’s 80% catch rate and short-area quickness make him a reliable chain-mover with sneaky upside. While not an elite athlete, his soft hands and ability to win above the rim suggest he could carve out a role as a possession tight end with red-zone appeal. His fantasy value hinges on landing with a quarterback who targets tight ends consistently. 6. Mason Taylor (LSU) Mason Taylor, son of NFL Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, brings a polished two-way skill set to the table. At 6’5” and 251 pounds, he finished his LSU career with 129 receptions for 1,308 yards and six touchdowns. In 2024, he posted 36-plus catches for the third straight year, showcasing consistency. Taylor’s athleticism and reliable hands give him a high floor, though his lack of elite production limits his ceiling. He profiles as a backup or committee tight end in the NFL, making him a late-round dynasty stash rather than an immediate fantasy contributor. 7. Terrance Ferguson (Oregon) Terrance Ferguson’s 4.63 40-yard dash at the combine—the fastest among tight ends—underscored his big-play potential. At 6’5” and 255 pounds, he averaged 13.7 yards per catch in 2024 (43 receptions, 591 yards). Ferguson’s speed and size make him a vertical threat, though his lack of run-blocking prowess could cap his snap count as a rookie. His fantasy value depends heavily on landing with a team that prioritizes his receiving skills over blocking. He also boasted a lofty 9.32 Relative Athletic Score.   Terrance Ferguson is a TE prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 9.32 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 91 out of 1331 TE from 1987 to 2025. https://t.co/eU0MCtjhuQ pic.twitter.com/HQRrNyN6wr — Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) March 30, 2025 8. Oronde Gadsden II (Syracuse) Oronde Gadsden II’s classification as a tight end is debated—he’s often more of a big slot receiver—but at 6’5”

Dynasty Rankings: WR to Fade in 2025

With NFL free agency fading from focus, fantasy football enthusiasts are now fixated on the upcoming NFL Draft in April. Dynasty League trades are buzzing at the Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC) as managers vie for the top rookie skill-position talents. Now is the time to move on from Dynasty Rankings: WR to Fade in 2025.
While snagging a premier rookie wide receiver remains a priority, three veteran wideouts with inflated ADP rankings are worth steering clear of in 2025 drafts.

Tyreek Hill (WR) Miami Dolphins

Hill epitomizes the trap of drafting a big name in the early rounds purely for reputation. The 31-year-old, who once reeled in 119 catches and surpassed 1,700 yards in back-to-back seasons, saw his output plummet last year. He finished with just 959 receiving yards—30th among wide receivers—and averaged a modest 12.8 PPR points per game, landing as the WR18 overall in 2024 despite being a top-five pick in most redraft leagues.
The uncertainty surrounding quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s health only amplifies the risk in Miami’s passing attack. Hill’s ADP of WR10 in early rankings feels like a steep overpay for a player coming off a six-touchdown season. I’d rather target receivers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ladd McConkey, or Terry McLaurin, who sit behind Hill in ADP but offer better value…
