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.

FSGA Experts Baseball Draft Recap
FSGA Experts Baseball Draft Recap While major league players are gearing up for 2025, the world’s top fantasy baseball experts assembled at the annual FSGA to battle for bragging rights. Legendary analyst Shawn Childs represented FullTime Fantasy and provided his analysis and insight into the FSGA Experts Baseball Draft Recap. The FSGA leagues are among the most challenging. In addition to being 15 teams, all of the invitees are among the top experts in the business. That makes this format one of the most challenging in existence. It also makes them a great catalyst for fantasy baseball players about to partake in their draft or auction. Here are the results of Shawn’s FSGA Experts Baseball Draft Recap and his analysis. This Fantasy Baseball Strategy Guide is courtesy of Shawn Childs. Read Shawn’s expert fantasy analysis here. FSGA Scoring Rules Best Ball Points Style – 26 Roster Spots 16 Total Starters 10 Bench Spots 1 Catcher 1 First Baseman 1 Second Baseman 1 Third Baseman 1 Shortstop 3 Outfielders 1 Utility Player (any hitter) 7 Pitchers Statistical Categories & Scoring Draft Results Round By Round Analysis Hitters In the first round, I chose Corbin Carroll over Elly De La Cruz, favoring Carroll’s lower strikeout rate and reliable production in hits and fantasy points, which aligns well with this points-based format. In the second round, I reached for Wyatt Langford, drawn to his upside, knowing I had Pete Alonso—my top first baseman—locked in for the third. Alonso’s a powerhouse in points leagues, and I think he was a steal compared to other first basemen taken later. I held off again on pitching early, so in the fourth round, I grabbed CJ Abrams, the best available middle infielder. His blend of power and speed gives me a high floor at a position I hadn’t yet filled. Then, in the fifth, I pivoted to starting pitching, targeting high-strike-out/upside arms – Bryce Miller, Hunter Greene, Hunter Brown, and George Kirby were the choices over the next four rounds. I picked Kirby at a discount—despite a potential 4-5 missed starts due to a shoulder injury, I’m confident it won’t derail his elite potential and ceiling. For my third outfielder (this Best Ball format starts three), I went with Josh Lowe, loving his power-speed combo and the hitter-friendly home park for lefties. At catcher, Austin Wells fits my breakout catcher profile at a fair point. In BestBall formats, the catcher position will get negative points in many weeks when they go 1-for-16. Therefore, I also added Francisco Alvarez as a second catcher. I expect him back in the final week of April after suffering a broken hamate bone in spring training. His “zero weeks” could still be an advantage in this format (giving no fantasy points rather than a negative number, and I’m comfortable rostering two catchers. Depth Bryson Stott was a second-base value grab thanks to his discount, and I bumped up Christian Encarnacion-Strand as my breakout hitter of the year. He complements Alonso nicely and can slide into the utility spot. This format uses one player at each infield position (C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS) plus three outfielders, with no additional middle infield or corner infield slots, so ideally, I should have grabbed someone with dual eligibility at shortstop or middle infield. But a few rounds later, I took Mason Wynn at shortstop due to leadoff his profile. At third, Nolan Arenado was the best option available; his .270 average with 70 runs and 70 RBIs last year isn’t far off, and a power rebound—or a trade—could boost him further. Pitching On the pitching side, Jeff Hoffman was a late-queue reliever gem who should grab saves, a nice fit since this format rewards them. Drew Rasmussen’s sub-3.00 ERA over four seasons shines when he’s healthy—he just needs to stretch out his pitch count. Nolan Jones, after a rough year, dropped to the 18th round in this 15-team setup (a bargain from last year’s hype), and I like his power, speed, and Coors Field boost. Jose Soriano was a late pitcher flier—his velocity hints at strikeout growth despite a lagging K-rate so far. Sal Frelick, my fifth outfielder, brings steals (less valuable here than in NFBC) and 15-team rotational value, though he’s not my typical Best Ball profile; he was just the best name left. Reid Detmers, a 2024 disaster, still has high upside, and Luis Ortiz felt mispriced—hidden value in the queue. I got auto-drafted Kenta Maeda in the 23rd round; he was in my queue, but I would have taken him later. Still, he’s been solid in spring training (aside from his last outing) and adds depth to my pitching staff. Ryan Kerkering could close for Philly, adding upside, and Ryan McMahon offers third-base and utility flexibility alongside Arenado. I’m thin at second with only Stott, but McMahon’s past time at the position might earn him eligibility midseason. Without the Maeda auto-pick, I might’ve grabbed another second baseman. Jack Leiter, my final pitcher, has dazzled in spring training with a strong college pedigree—I took a chance on his upside, especially with Cody Bradford’s recent injury possibly opening a Rangers rotation spot. I landed 12 pitchers in the draft, a must in a format starting 7 with weekly best scores, to hedge against inevitable injuries. Final Thoughts I avoided major snipes, locking in my top four hitters early for an offensive core, then building pitching depth while alternating offense and arms in the mid-to-late rounds. It’s a competitive squad—staying healthy is the key after injuries sank me over the last two years in this event. I’m a BestBall fan, and I’m optimistic this roster will click in 2025.

2025 Dynasty Football Rankings by Scott Atkins
Freshly updated 2020 Dynasty football rankings as we approach the NFL Season! Remember, these are based on perceived trade value, meaning the rankings are primarily based on what it would take to move the player.
2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings are Freshly updated!
As we approach the 2025 NFL Season and eventual Fantasy Football season! Dynasty leagues are, without a doubt, the fastest-growing segment in all of Fantasy sports. The concept is actually quite simple. Draft your startup team, compete all year and KEEP your entire team the following year. You add to your team in the off-season through an annual ROOKIE and free agent draft every year, which occurs immediately following the NFL Draft. You need dynasty football rankings based on trade value to maximize your team’s long-term value.
I’m in over ten dynasty high-stakes leagues and I have gone through the rankings pretty extensively with a lot of new movers to give you the most up-to-date information possible. Remember, these are based on perceived trade value therefore the rankings are primarily based on what it would take for me to move the player. I heavily weigh AGE in rankings (closer to a 4-year window) If you only use a 2-3 year window, you’ll likely be stuck with players who underperform or show signs of age that you can’t trade for fair value. My goal is for you to get the best years from a player and trade them while their value is still high before the decline when the secret is out.
The Dynasty Marketplace is open year round! — You may only list your team if your current dues are paid in full.
Dynasty orphans are now on sale! Dynasty Startups are now on sale!
Hit me up on Twitter @ScottFantasy if you’d like to discuss or question my rankings. Your feedback does make a difference. Happy Trading!

2025 Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet & Auction Values UPDATED

2025 Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet
Fantasy Baseball championships are won on draft or auction day. FullTime Fantasy‘s 2025 Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet gives you insight into the top 15 players at every position with a deeper dive into the outfield and pitching. Additionally, Shawn also provides rankings at DH and the game’s top set-up relievers.
This Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet is courtesy of Shawn Childs. Read Shawn’s expert fantasy analysis at his Substack.
These Rankings will be updated throughout Spring Training.
I grouped players in sets of 15 based on early ADPs from the National Fantasy Baseball Championship (NFBC). Once I began this process, I maintained a consistent ADP timeframe to avoid missing any players who might rise into a higher tier due to shifts in draft trends.
-
After analyzing 15 players at a position by their ADP, I reranked them based on my research. While I documented only 15 players per infield position, there are cases where I prefer an unresearched player from outside this group. For example, Masyn Winn currently ranks 15th among shortstops in NFBC ADP, but I haven’t yet completed his player profile. Once I do, he’ll likely move up.
-
For outfielders and starting pitchers, I expanded the analysis to 75 players per position. I didn’t move players between tiers to maintain consistency in the rankings. For instance, in my second tier of 15 starting pitchers, I elevated Hunter Brown to SP31 but kept him within that tier rather than bumping him up. I expect him to rise once spring training begins, but I didn’t want to disrupt the structure with excessive reshuffling.
-
ADP research helps track market trends—who’s gaining or losing value? However, a falling ADP doesn’t always signal a bargain, just as a rising ADP doesn’t guarantee success. Public sentiment is often news-driven, with the fantasy market overreacting in some cases and overlooking key details in others. The best approach? Draft the players you believe in and capitalize on undervalued assets when your analysis differs from the consensus.
-
DHs and Closers: I haven’t written about DHs yet (other than Shohei Ohtani, whom I categorized as OF1). This week, I’m focusing on team bullpens, but I haven’t completed my research on closers ranked 16-30. While I included them by ADP, I removed handcuff options and placed them in a closer-in-waiting tier (yet to be ranked).

Top Remaining NFL Free Agents
Top Remaining NFL Free Agents at QB, RB, WR, and TE We saw some fantasy-relevant players sign on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL free-agent signing period. However, there are still several top remaining NFL free agents available according to our 2025 Free Agent Tracker. Here are some of the top NFL free agents for fantasy football fans to monitor on Day 3 and beyond. Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers 2024 Stats (Projected): 3,500 yards, 28 TDs, 11 INTs, 64% completion rate, ~200 rushing yards (based on partial season data and historical performance). Rodgers played 2024 with the Jets, posting decent numbers (28 TDs per X posts) despite a rocky year and an announced split from the team. His stats reflect a decline from his peak but still show competence. Why He’s Top: At 41, Rodgers remains the biggest name among QBs, outranking Sam Darnold (signed with Seattle Day 1) and others like Justin Fields (Jets). His experience and arm talent make him a short-term starter option. Potential Fits: Tennessee Titans: With Will Levis struggling (hypothetical 2024 struggles assumed), Rodgers could stabilize the offense, mentoring Levis or a rookie. The Titans have $30M+ in cap space and need a QB bridge. The New York Giants are also interested in signing Rodgers. With the staff playing for their jobs, that makes sense. Additionally, Rodgers to Malik Nabers is intriguing. Analysis: Rodgers’ market may be tepid due to age and off-field drama, but his 2024 TD total suggests he can still produce. Teams needing a stopgap will bid, though retirement looms if interest wanes. Running Back: Nick Chubb 2024 Stats (Projected): 163 yards, 3.1 YPC, 2 TDs in 7 games (per SI.com, reflecting his return from a 2023 knee injury). Chubb returned in Week 7 of 2024 but struggled behind a poor Browns O-line, averaging a career-low 3.1 YPC. His 2022 peak (1,525 yards, 12 TDs) shows his upside when healthy. Potential Fits: Pittsburgh Steelers: If Jaylen Warren is tendered and Najee Harris walks (per PFF), Chubb could pair with Warren in a bruising backfield. Mike Tomlin’s admiration for Chubb (noted by PFF) aligns with their run-first identity. Dallas Cowboys: Seeking a downhill runner for Dak Prescott (per PFN), Chubb’s name value and 4.9 career YPC fit Jerry Jones’ splashy style. Cap space (~$20M post-Prescott extension) allows a prove-it deal. Analysis: Chubb’s 2024 was a shadow of his prime, but another offseason could restore his explosiveness. He’s a high-risk, high-reward RB2 for teams betting on a rebound. Wide Receiver: Stefon Diggs 2024 Stats (Projected): 45 catches, 600 yards, 5 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-ACL tear in Week 8 with Houston). Diggs started 2024 as Buffalo’s WR2 before a trade to Houston, where he was solid but not dominant (7.4 points/game per PlayerProfiler) until his season-ending injury. His 16.3 YPC career average persists. With Tee Higgins tagged and Amari Cooper/Keenan Allen still available, Diggs edges out due to his WR1 pedigree, despite his age (31) and injury. Potential Fits: New York Jets: Needing a WR2 behind Garrett Wilson (per PFN), Diggs could thrive with Justin Fields as the new QB. His route-running fits their intermediate passing game, and cap space (~$25M) works. Kansas City Chiefs: With DeAndre Hopkins gone, Diggs complements Xavier Worthy’s speed with savvy underneath work. Mahomes elevates his ceiling, and KC has ~$30M in cap flexibility. Houston Texans: A return to Houston also makes sense. Despite the club trading for Christian Kirk and signing other wideouts, the Texans are missing a stand-out WR2. Therefore, a reunion makes sense on both sides. Analysis: Diggs’ ACL recovery timeline (likely ready by camp) and declining WR1 status make him a WR2/3 in fantasy, but his fit with elite QBs could revive his 1,000-yard potential. Tight End: Evan Engram 2024 Stats (Projected): 40 catches, 450 yards, 3 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-shoulder surgery in late 2024). Engram missed half of 2024 with a torn labrum, leading to his Jaguars release to avoid a $19.5M cap hit. His 2023 peak (114 catches, 963 yards) shows his upside as a receiving TE. With Juwan Johnson and Mike Gesicki already signed, Engram’s the top TE left. His injury and age (31 by September) lower his stock, but his YAC ability (per The Athletic) stands out in a thin class. Potential Fits: Indianapolis Colts: With Mo Alie-Cox expiring (per PFF), Engram aids Anthony Richardson’s growth as a safety blanket. His 71.3 PFF receiving grade in 2024 fits Shane Steichen’s TE-friendly scheme (~$35M cap space). Denver Broncos: Sean Payton, who coached Engram’s Saints teammate Juwan Johnson, could target him for the starting role. Engram’s speed stretches defenses, and Denver has $43M in cap room (per ESPN). Analysis: Engram’s not a TE1 lock post-injury. But his 9.0-yard average depth of target (per PFF) makes him a mid-tier fantasy TE with upside in pass-heavy systems. A short-term deal is likely. Additional Notes Market Context: Day 1 saw 59 of the top 150 free agents sign (per The Athletic), leaving slim pickings at offensive skill positions. Rodgers, Chubb, Diggs, and Engram stand out as the best remaining at their spots based on X sentiment and web rankings. Stats Caveats: 2024 projections are based on partial data (e.g., Chubb’s 7 games, Diggs’ 8 games) and historical norms, as full-season stats aren’t finalized in sources. Fits Rationale: Teams were chosen based on cap space (per Spotrac/ESPN), QB/coaching stability, and scheme fit (e.g., PFF’s scheme notes), assuming 2024 roster gaps persist.

NFL Free Agency: Day 1 Fantasy Impact
NFL Free Agency: Day 1 Fantasy Impact The NFL free agency tampering period kicked off on March 10, 2025, and Day 1 delivered a flurry of moves that promise to reshape fantasy football rosters for the 2025 season. While contracts can’t be finalized until March 12, teams and players wasted no time agreeing to terms, impacting quarterback, running back, and wide receiver values. FullTime Fantasy‘s NFL Free Agency: Day 1 Fantasy Impact breaks it down. Here’s a fantasy-focused breakdown of the biggest storylines. Also, bookmark our 2025 Free Agency Tracker. 1. Sam Darnold Lands with the Seahawks Sam Darnold, fresh off a 2024 breakout with the Vikings (4,319 yards, 35 TDs), reportedly agreed to a multi-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks, potentially exceeding $100 million (per FTN Fantasy projections). Darnold is younger than Geno Smith and now takes over in Seattle’s re-boot. Fantasy Impact: Darnold’s arrival in Seattle turbocharges the passing game. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba ascending, Darnold could maintain QB1 status. Smith-Njigba emerged as a viable WR1/2 down the stretch and now will be peppered with targets. Look for JSN to be a popular pick in Round 2 or 3. Kenneth Walker III might see fewer carries in a pass-leaning offense, settling as an RB2. 2. Laremy Tunsil Traded to the Commanders The Houston Texans traded LT Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders for draft picks, bolstering protection for QB Jayden Daniels (reported by The Athletic). This move boosts Daniels’s protection, assuring his emergence into the top tier of fantasy signal-callers. Fantasy Impact: Daniels, the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, gets a massive upgrade with Tunsil anchoring his line. Improved pocket time could push Daniels into top-10 QB territory, enhancing his passing and rushing upside. Terry McLaurin re-enters WR1 discussions, and Jahan Dotson’s value ticks up as a flex option. 3. Najee Harris Joins the Chargers Najee Harris, after four straight 1,000-yard seasons with the Steelers, reportedly agreed to a one-year, $9.5 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers (per The Athletic and ESPN). Harris has been consistent and durable, making him a terrific fit in John Harbaugh’s run-heavy offense. Fantasy Impact: Harris slots into Jim Harbaugh’s run-first scheme, replacing J.K. Dobbins (still a free agent). Paired with Justin Herbert, Harris could see increased receiving work, elevating him to RB1 status in PPR leagues. Herbert benefits with a dependable check-down option, while Ladd McConkey holds steady as a WR2. This also impacts the Steelers backfield where Jaylen Warren becomes the defacto RB1 until they’re able to address this with free agency or the draft. 4. Davante Adams Signs with the Rams Davante Adams, after a 2024 split between the Raiders and Jets, reportedly agreed to a two-year, $26 million guaranteed deal with the Los Angeles Rams (per NBC Sports). The Rams chose to sign the older veteran and will part ways with Cooper Kupp. Fantasy Impact: Adams joining Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and RB Kyren Williams creates a fantasy feast. Adams could reclaim WR1/2 status, Nacua settles in the same area, and Stafford leaps into QB1 contention. 5. DK Metcalf Traded to Pittsburgh It didn’t take long for the Seahawks to find suitors for DK Metcalf. Seattle shipped the star wideout to Pittsburgh for a second-round pick and swap of late-rounders. Subsequently, the Steelers then signed Metcalf to a five-year $150 million extension. Fantasy Impact: Hard to gauge right now, since the Steelers don’t have a starting quarterback. However, with Mike Tomlin still running the show and George Pickens also there to absorb targets, it seems like a lateral move or downgrade for Metcalf’s 2025 fantasy prospects. 6. Chris Godwin Re-Signs with Tampa Bay Chris Godwin, recovering from a 2024 ankle injury, has signed a multi-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (per user update). Godwin was a top-10 fantasy wideout before last season’s unfortunate injury. Therefore, it is great to see him re-sign in Tampa and have a chance to pick up where he left off. And this time making a lot more money. Fantasy Impact: Godwin’s return to Tampa locks him in as Baker Mayfield’s top target, assuming Mayfield stays. Post-injury, he’s a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside in PPR formats. Mike Evans, if re-signed, remains a TD-dependent WR2. 7. Aaron Jones Re-Signs with Vikings This was another best-case scenario move. Jones had the most carries of his career last season in Minnesota and stayed healthy for all 17 games. Meanwhile, the Vikings depth chart was topped by Ty Chandler until Jones agreed to return. Fantasy Impact: Kevin O’Connell proved he values Jones. With J.J. McCarthy taking over at quarterback, it was essential to have Jones back. The veteran running back will be a strong RB2 candidate for fantasy managers to target in the middle rounds. 8. Justin Fields Joins the Jets There was speculation that Fields would not attract starting offers. However, the Jets signed Fields to a two-year, $20 million deal that says otherwise. New York has a good ground game that will only be boosted by Fields’s elite running ability. Fantasy Impact: It’s still to be determined if the Jets will be in the QB market with their first-round pick. This move likely means they will go in a different direction. Fields has limited upside as a passer but is one of the top rushers in the league, giving him solid QB2 potential. He also reunites with college teammate Garrett Wilson and currently he’s the only show in town for the Jets. Both the WR and TE room is incredibly thin after losing Adams, Lazard, Conklin and even Mike Williams (last season). Day 1 Winners Jayden Daniels (QB, Commanders): Elite protection amplifies his dual-threat potential. Sam Darnold (QB, Seahawks): Prime weapons keep him in the QB1 mix. Chris Godwin (WR, Buccaneers): Stability in Tampa restores his WR2 floor with WR1 upside. Najee Harris (RB, Chargers): A fresh start maximizes his volume and PPR value. Javonte Williams (RB, Dallas): Nice value, but the Cowboys are still expected to draft a rookie. Day 1

2025 Fantasy Baseball DH Rankings
2025 Fantasy Baseball DH Rankings & Analysis This Fantasy Baseball Strategy Guide is courtesy of Shawn Childs. Read Shawn’s expert fantasy analysis here. Shohei Ohtani stands out as the premier designated hitter (DH) option for 2025, though I’ve already covered him as the first outfielder in an earlier profile. Below are the top 2025 fantasy baseball DH rankings from the players with secure full-time designated hitter roles. 1. Brent Rooker, Athletics (ADP: 73.9) I completely misjudged Rooker in 2024—he was my biggest miss. Expecting his 32.4% strikeout rate to limit his playing time, I bet on him falling under 25.5 home runs in a player-prop parlay. Early in the season, an oblique injury sidelined him, and I was thrilled—until he returned after just 11 days. By midseason (81 games, 66 played), Rooker was hitting .257 with 27 runs, 13 home runs, and 44 RBIs over 241 at-bats, striking out 35.8% of the time. I thought my “under” bet was back in play. Then his bat erupted over the next 140 at-bats (.350, 31 runs, 16 HRs, 39 RBIs, 5 SBs), with his strikeout rate dropping to 22.9%. In the final quarter, he hit .297 with 24 runs, 10 HRs, 29 RBIs, and 4 SBs over 165 at-bats, maintaining a lower strikeout rate (26.2%) than his career norm. Rooker’s 20% RBI rate was elite, a mark typically reserved for top middle-of-the-order hitters. His average hit distance (1.919) dipped to a four-year low, hinting at untapped power potential. His contact batting average (.434) crushed his 2023 mark (.392) and minor-league career (.402). With a 91.9 mph exit velocity (27th) and 49.6% hard-hit rate, plus a fly-ball-heavy swing (47.1% and 45.6% the last two years), Rooker posted a strong 22.9% HR/FB rate. Fantasy Outlook: Rooker’s 2024 FPGscore (6.81, 8th among hitters) makes him a draft steal. He hits hard, lifts the ball, and gained confidence last year. His contact ability will dictate his ceiling and floor. The A’s locked him in with a five-year, $60M deal in January, ensuring everyday at-bats. I project 30+ HRs with some speed, but a .260+ average may elude him. With a 15% strikeout rate more aligned with his career, I see 85 RBIs unless he tops last year’s HR total. 2. Marcell Ozuna, Braves (ADP: 73.5) Ozuna has been a fantasy bargain for the past two years. In 2024, he set career highs in plate appearances (688), runs (96), and games (162), driving in 100+ runs for the second straight season. His contact batting average (.420) outpaced 2023 (.366) and his career (.359). He slugged 34 of his 39 HRs against right-handers. Against lefties, he hit .319 with 5 HRs and 24 RBIs over 141 at-bats—solid, though less potent than his 12 HRs vs. southpaws in 2023. After 107 games, Ozuna was on a tear (.301, 67 runs, 31 HRs, 84 RBIs over 399 ABs), but he faded late with 29 runs, 8 HRs, and 20 RBIs over his final 207 at-bats. His 92.2 mph exit velocity (20th) and 53.5% hard-hit rate (11th) were elite, with 134 barrels over two years. Yet his fly-ball rate (38.4%) hit a five-year low, and his strikeout rate (24.7%) was the highest since 2014. Fantasy Outlook: Ozuna’s recent success reflects better discipline and off-field habits. He’s a joy to watch when locked in. However, the Braves might rotate other players into the DH spot in 2025, especially with injuries in play—Ozuna’s logged just two outfield games in two years. I see him as a .270/80/30/90 hitter with no speed. Could he be a Nelson Cruz-esque force in his 30s? 3. Kyle Schwarber, Phillies (ADP: 79.6) Batting average shapes a player’s fantasy value, and Schwarber’s is a wild card. Over three years with Philly, he’s delivered runs, HRs, and RBIs despite a 29.4% strikeout rate (28.5% in 2024). His contact batting average has fluctuated (.390 in 2021, .334 in 2022, .311 in 2023, .378 in 2024), but he posted a career-best 21% RBI rate last year. Schwarber mashed lefties in 2024 (.300, 12 HRs, 38 RBIs over 210 ABs), a leap from 2023’s .188 with 15 HRs over 207 ABs, thanks to 20 fewer strikeouts. September was his peak (.293, 22 runs, 10 HRs, 22 RBIs over 99 ABs). His 93.6 mph exit velocity (career high) and 55.5% hard-hit rate (5th) shone, though his fly-ball rate (40.1%) eased from prior years (49.5% and 51.1%). His walk rate (15.3%) remains elite. Fantasy Outlook: Schwarber’s a three-outcome hitter—33% of his hits are HRs, and 44.7% of plate appearances end in walks or strikeouts. He’ll score, mash HRs, and flirt with a .225 average, depending on his loft vs. contact balance. Expect another 100/35/90 season from one of the top 2025 fantasy baseball DH rankings options. 4. Giancarlo Stanton, Yankees (ADP: 315) Stanton’s missed nearly a full season (161 games) over the last three years. A hamstring injury limited him to three July games in 2024. He started strong (.225, 23 runs, 13 HRs, 29 RBIs over 191 ABs in April/May) but tapered off (13 runs, 9 HRs, 27 RBIs over 148 ABs in August/September). His postseason was electric (15-for-55, 9 runs, 7 HRs, 16 RBIs). His strikeout rate (31.2%) keeps climbing, while his walk rate (8.3%) fades. Stanton’s fly-ball rates (44.5% and 43.8%) and 22.3% HR/FB rate hold firm. He ranked 6th in hard-hit rate (55.3%), 3rd in barrel rate (20.7%), and 4th in exit velocity (94.6 mph). Fantasy Outlook: With two years left on his deal (plus a 2028 option), Stanton’s bat still packs a punch, but injuries sap his HR totals. The Yankees slotted him 4th or 5th for 407 of his 417 ABs in 2024, though offseason moves may push him lower. He’s a low-average power play with roster headaches. 5. Joc Pederson, Rangers (ADP: 335) In 11 MLB seasons, Pederson’s never topped 480 ABs. Over the last three years, he’s hit .262 with 178 runs, 61 HRs, 185 RBIs, and a surprising career-high 7 SBs in 2024 at age
