2025 Rookie Profile: Jayden Higgins (WR) Iowa State
Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Jayden Higgins, a sleeper wide receiver out of Iowa State.
College Resume
Jayden Higgins began his collegiate career at Eastern Kentucky, where he played two seasons (2021-2022) for the Colonels. As a 2-star recruit out of Westminster Christian School in Palmetto Bay, Florida, he quickly showcased his potential, amassing 87 receptions for 1,151 yards and 13 touchdowns over two years.
After transferring to Iowa State in 2023, Higgins elevated his game in the Power 5 landscape. In his first season with the Cyclones, he started 12 of 13 games, recording 53 receptions for 983 yards (18.5 yards per catch) and 6 touchdowns, including a school bowl-record 214 yards in the 2023 Liberty Bowl against Memphis.
His senior year in 2024 was a breakout campaign, as he hauled in 87 receptions for 1,183 yards and 9 touchdowns, earning Second Team All-Big 12 honors, Third Team All-American recognition, and an invitation to the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl. His 18.5 yards per catch in 2023 ranks as the seventh-best single-season mark in Iowa State history.

•1,483 total air yards (10th among draft-eligible WRs)
Measurables (NFL Combine)
Higgins’ combination of size, speed, and explosiveness makes him a physically imposing outside receiver with the frame to dominate in contested catch situations and the athleticism to stretch the field. His 4.47 speed is notable for his size, though his hip flexibility is considered average, which can affect route transitions.

2025 NFL Draft: Winners & Losers From Round 1
The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft delivered a mix of expected picks, surprising trades, and a few head-scratching moments for fantasy football enthusiasts. While the quarterback class lacked the depth of 2024, the skill-position players selected on Day 1 offer intriguing upside for redraft and Dynasty Football leagues. Here’s a breakdown of the fantasy-relevant picks, their landing spots, and what they mean for your 2025 fantasy football plans. Cam Ward, QB, Tennessee Titans (No. 1 Overall) Tennessee made the expected move, selecting Miami’s Cam Ward to replace Will Levis and kickstart their rebuild. Ward, a 6-foot-2, 219-pound dual-threat quarterback, brings a gunslinger mentality and mobility that could translate to fantasy upside. His college tape showcased big-play ability, but poor decision-making under pressure and a tendency to play “hero ball” raise concerns about his immediate impact. 2025 Outlook: Tennessee’s offense lacks elite weapons, with aging veterans and an inconsistent offensive line. Ward’s mobility gives him a floor as a low-end QB2, but his ceiling depends on the Titans adding more playmakers. For redraft leagues, he’s a late-round flier with top-12 upside in the long term. In dynasty formats, he’s a top-tier rookie QB pick due to his starting role and athleticism. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Jacksonville Jaguars (No. 2 Overall, via trade with Cleveland) The Jaguars made a blockbuster move, trading up to snag the Heisman-winning two-way star from Colorado. Travis Hunter, who will primarily play wide receiver but see defensive snaps, instantly becomes the No. 2 option behind Brian Thomas Jr. in Jacksonville’s passing game. His elite athleticism and ability to draw single coverage due to Thomas’ presence make him a big-play threat. However, his dual-role usage raises durability concerns and could limit his offensive snap count. 2025 Outlook: Hunter’s landing spot with Trevor Lawrence is promising, but his fantasy value hinges on how often he’s used on offense. In smaller redraft leagues, he’s a WR3 with upside, while deeper leagues could see him as a borderline WR2 due to his big-play potential. Dynasty managers should view him as a high-upside WR2 with WR1 potential if he settles into a full-time offensive role. The durability question makes him a slight risk. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Las Vegas Raiders (No. 6 Overall) Under new GM John Spytek and OC Chip Kelly, the new-look Raiders selected Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty, a dynamic running back who drew comparisons to Marshawn Lynch from coach Pete Carroll. Jeanty’s ridiculous contact balance, versatility in the passing game, and college production (second-most rushing yards in a single season) make him an instant fantasy darling. He lands in a run-centric, outside-zone scheme with Geno Smith at quarterback, ensuring defenses can’t stack the box. 2025 Outlook: Jeanty steps into a feature-back role, with Raheem Mostert as a mentor rather than a competitor. His three-down skill set and high-volume opportunity make him a top-12 RB candidate in redraft leagues. In dynasty, he’s the clear RB1 of the 2025 class and a potential top overall pick, even in Superflex. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Carolina Panthers (No. 8 Overall) Carolina, committed to building around QB Bryce Young, selected Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan to bolster their receiving corps. McMillan, a big-bodied receiver with contested-catch ability, was Young’s preferred target in the draft process. While productive in college, he’s considered a project as a deep threat and true No. 1 receiver, which tempers immediate expectations. 2025 Outlook: McMillan joins a crowded Carolina receiving room with Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and Jalen Coker. That could limit his target share as a rookie. He’s a WR3/4 in redraft leagues with upside for more if he quickly develops chemistry with Young. Dynasty managers should view him as a WR1 with long-term WR1 potential, especially if the Panthers’ offense improves. The decision to pass on defensive help raises questions about Carolina’s balance, which could impact offensive efficiency. Colston Loveland, TE, Chicago Bears (No. 10 Overall) The Bears surprised many by selecting Michigan tight end Colston Loveland, a pick that drew mixed reactions for fantasy purposes. Loveland is a polished pass-catcher with long-term upside, but Chicago’s crowded offense—featuring DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and Cole Kmet—limits his immediate target share. The Bears’ likely use of 12-personnel sets with Kmet further caps Loveland’s volume. 2025 Outlook: Loveland is a risky redraft pick due to his projected 70-target ceiling as a rookie. He’s a TE2 at best in 2025, with value in deeper leagues. In dynasty, his youth and skill set make him the TE1 of the class, but his path to consistent targets may take a year or two. The Bears’ investment in him signals a long-term plan, but fantasy managers should temper expectations for 2025. Tyler Warren, TE, Indianapolis Colts (No. 14 Overall) It was a surprise to see Tyler Warren picked after Coltson Loveland. The Indianapolis Colts selected the Penn State tight end with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, addressing a glaring need at the position. Warren, the 2024 John Mackey Award winner, had a breakout senior season with 104 receptions for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns, showcasing his versatility as a pass-catcher, blocker, and occasional rusher. His 6’5”, 256-pound frame and ability to line up inline, in the slot, or out wide make him a dynamic weapon for the Colts’ offense, which lacked tight end production in 2024. 2025 Fantasy Outlook: Warren’s fantasy potential is tempered by Indianapolis’ run-heavy offense and quarterback uncertainty with Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones. Competing with Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, and Jonathan Taylor for targets, he’s projected for 70-83 targets, 48-55 receptions, 517-615 yards, and 3-4 touchdowns, making him a TE2 with upside. His versatility and red-zone potential give him TE1 upside by Year 2, especially in dynasty leagues where he’s a mid-first-round pick. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (No. 19 Overall) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka with the 19th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, bolstering their already potent offense. Egbuka, a technically savvy slot receiver with 205 career collegiate receptions, joins stars

2025 Rookie Profile: Cam Skattebo (RB), Arizona State
Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Cam Skattebo looks at the Dynasty darling running back from Arizona State.
College Resume
Cam Skattebo began his college football journey at Sacramento State, an FCS program, after being underrecruited out of Rio Linda High School in California, where he racked up over 6,000 rushing yards and 69 touchdowns. At Sacramento State, Skattebo earned Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2022, amassing over 2,200 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns across two seasons.
Transferring to Arizona State in 2023, he became a workhorse back, but his 2024 season was a breakout, leading the Sun Devils to an 11-3 record and a Big 12 Championship. Skattebo finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting, earning Big 12 Championship Game MVP honors, and became the second Big 12 player ever to record 1,500+ rushing yards and 500+ receiving yards in a single season. His journey from an unranked recruit to a Heisman finalist highlights his relentless drive and ability to perform against top competition.
Stats
Skattebo forced 102 missed tackles in 2024 (second only to Ashton Jeanty among FBS running backs) and posted seven 100+ yard rushing games, including a 262-yard performance against Mississippi State, the second-highest single-game rushing total in Arizona State history.
Sacramento State (2021-2022): 252 rushes, 1,892 yards (7.5 YPC), 13 TDs; 31 receptions, 371 yards, 3 TDs.
Arizona State (2023): 164 rushes, 783 yards (4.8 YPC), 9 TDs; 24 receptions, 286 yards, 1 TD.
Arizona State (2024): 293 rushes, 1,711 yards (5.8 YPC), 21 TDs; 45 receptions, 605 yards, 3 TDs; 2,316 total scrimmage yards, 24 total TDs.
Notable Game (2024 College Football Playoff vs. Texas): 30 carries, 143 yards, 2 rushing TDs; 8 receptions, 99 yards; 42-yard passing TD; battled flu-like symptoms to lead a comeback attempt.
I don’t care if Cam Skattebo is slow.
I don’t care if his game “isn’t sustainable.”
I don’t care if “teams are lower on him than the media.”
He’s an absolute dawg who elevated his team on the biggest stage. 3-down back who can do EVERYTHING. pic.twitter.com/Rz3V0xDOjM

Measurables
Skattebo’s elite burst was evident in his vertical and broad jump numbers, which ranked among the best for running backs at the 2025 NFL Combine. However, his 40-yard dash time was one of the slowest among his peers, raising concerns about his long speed in the NFL.

2025 Rookie Profile: Emeka Egbuka (WR) Ohio State
Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Emeka Egbuka looks at our No. 2 wideout in the 2025 NFL Draft class.
Emeka Egbuka, a standout wide receiver from Ohio State, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the most polished and dependable prospects in his class. Ohio State has earned the moniker “Wide Receiver U” by consistently producing elite NFL talent, including Marvin Harrison Jr. (2024 No. 4 overall pick), Garrett Wilson (2022 No. 10 overall), Chris Olave (2022 No. 11 overall), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2023 No. 20 overall).
Egbuka follows in their footsteps, bringing a technically refined skill set, high football IQ, and a track record of production in big moments. While he may lack the elite physical traits of some peers, his savvy route running, reliable hands, and versatility make him a high-floor prospect poised to contribute early in his NFL career.
Resume
High School: Steilacoom High School (DuPont, WA), consensus five-star recruit, No. 1 WR and No. 9 overall player in 2021 class (247Sports). Named Washington Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior, amassing 199 receptions, 3,987 yards, and 61 TDs over his prep career, including a record-setting 18-catch state championship game.
College: Ohio State (2021–2024), early enrollee, played alongside NFL-bound receivers like Harrison, Wilson, Olave, and Smith-Njigba. Became Ohio State’s all-time leader in career receptions (205). Helped lead Ohio State to the 2024 National Championship, with six receptions in the title game. Earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2022.
Other: Showed special-teams value as a freshman, leading the Big Ten in kickoff return average (29.0 yards per return). Team captain in 2024, demonstrating leadership and toughness.
College Stats
2021 (Freshman): 11 games, 9 receptions, 191 yards (21.2 YPC), 0 TDs; 20 kickoff returns for 580 yards (29.0 avg.).
2022 (Sophomore): 13 games, 74 receptions, 1,151 yards (15.6 YPC), 10 TDs; 11 carries, 87 yards, 2 TDs.
2023 (Junior): 10 games (missed three due to ankle injury requiring tightrope surgery), 41 receptions, 515 yards (12.6 YPC), 4 TDs.
2024 (Senior): 81 receptions, 1,011 yards (12.5 YPC), 10 TDs; broke Ohio State’s career receptions record (205).
Career Totals: 50 games (38 starts), 205 receptions, 2,868 yards (14.0 YPC), 24 TDs; 23 carries, 150 yards, 2 TDs; 40 returns (22 kick, 18 punt), 725 yards.
Notable: Against ranked opponents (8 games), totaled 51 receptions for 610 yards. Two 1,000-yard seasons, joining Marvin Harrison Jr. as the only Buckeyes to achieve this feat.
Measurables
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 202 lbs
Arm Length: 31.5”
Hand Size: 9.625”
40-Yard Dash: 4.48 seconds
Vertical Jump: 38”
Short Shuttle: 4.12 seconds
Relative Athletic Score (RAS): 9.27 (reflecting strong explosion and short-area quickness)
Notes: Egbuka’s athletic profile is good but not elite, with above-average acceleration, fluidity, and change-of-direction ability. His 4.30 40-yard dash reported at Ohio State’s Junior Day (unverified) suggests potential for better speed than his combine time indicates.
