2025 NFL Scouting Combine | Fantasy Football Prospects to Watch
2025 NFL Scouting Combine | Fantasy Football Prospects to Watch The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine marks a pivotal moment in the NFL offseason. For fantasy football enthusiasts, it’s an early glimpse into the rookie class that could shape next season’s drafts. FullTime’s 2025 NFL Scouting Combine Fantasy Football Prospects to Watch showcases some of the incoming rookies for fantasy enthusiasts to monitor. While the combine’s drills—40-yard dashes, vertical jumps, and shuttle runs—don’t directly predict on-field success, they can elevate a prospect’s draft stock, landing them in favorable NFL situations that boost their fantasy value. With a draft class noted for its depth at positions like running back and tight end, but lacking some of the star power of previous years, this year’s combine offers a chance to spot hidden gems and confirm top talents. Here are some prospects to keep an eye on over the next few days, each with the potential to make a fantasy impact in 2025. Also, check out our 2025 Dynasty Rookie Rankings. Quarterbacks Cam Ward (Miami) – Ward enters the combine as one of the top quarterback prospects, alongside Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. His arm talent and improvisational skills have drawn comparisons to dynamic NFL playmakers. In 2024, he threw for over 4,000 yards and 36 touchdowns at Miami. Ward’s decision on whether to participate in throwing drills will be critical. A strong session could solidify him as a top-10 pick, potentially landing him with a team like the Tennessee Titans or New York Giants, where he’d have Malik Nabers to boost his fantasy value. Look for his arm strength and accuracy in intermediate throws—his bread and butter. Shedeur Sanders (Colorado) – Sanders is a polished pocket passer with elite accuracy and poise, throwing for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns in 2024. His pedigree as Deion Sanders’ son adds intrigue. However, his stats speak for themselves. He’s a near-lock for a high draft pick, making him a prime fantasy QB2 candidate. Sanders isn’t expected to run a blazing 40. But his accuracy and timing will appeal to the QB-needy teams near the top of the 2025 NFL Draft order. A true leader with the ‘clutch’ gene and bravado, Sanders is likely to start immediately in the NFL. However, Sanders will not throw at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Interested fantasy managers must wait to see what occurs at Colorado’s Pro Day. Sleeper Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) – Dart showcased elite talent in his final college season, throwing for 4,279 yards, 29 touchdowns, and just six interceptions. His dual-threat ability shone with 452 rushing yards and four scores, making him a dynamic playmaker. Dart’s arm strength, quick release, and mobility highlight his potential as a top 2025 NFL Draft prospect. In fantasy football, his high-volume passing and rushing upside mirror quarterbacks like a young Dak Prescott, offering significant fantasy potential. With experience in Lane Kiffin’s explosive offense, Dart’s fantasy stock is rising. Running Backs Ashton Jeanty (Boise State) – Jeanty is the consensus RB1, racking up an absurd 2,497 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024. His blend of power, speed, and receiving ability (43 catches) screams three-down back, a fantasy goldmine. Jeanty’s opting out of workouts, but his resume speaks for itself. A first-round landing spot with a run-heavy team like the Las Vegas Raiders, Chicago Bears, or Dallas Cowboys would make him a top-12 fantasy RB as a rookie. Omarion Hampton (North Carolina) – Hampton’s explosiveness (1,863 yards, 15 TDs in 2024) and home-run ability make him a tantalizing prospect. He’s not Jeanty, but he’s a strong RB2 candidate with plenty of upside. Also, he’s a solid pass-catcher who reeled in 38 grabs last fall. With Jeanty sitting out, Hampton has a chance to shine. A good 40 time and effort in agility drills showcasing his burst could lock him into Round 1, boosting his fantasy stock. Cam Skattebo (Arizona State) – Skattebo’s rugged, downhill style (1,582 yards, 19 TDs) and surprising agility for his 5-11, 225-pound frame make him a sleeper. Also, his 52 receptions in 2024 add PPR appeal. A strong showing in the three-cone drill and broad jump could elevate him from a Day 3 pick into Day 2. A landing spot with a creative offensive coordinator could unlock his fantasy potential. Bhayshul Tuten (Virginia Tech) – Tuten’s 1,371 yards and 17 TDs in 2024, plus 37 catches, make him a PPR sleeper if he lands in a zone-blocking scheme. Enjoy the last few days of Bhayshul Tuten being a fantasy sleeper before he lights up the NFL combine! 🚀🔥pic.twitter.com/8joR6Otf1x https://t.co/FrR4fVxmWg — Matt FF Dynasty 🏈 (@MattFFDynasty) February 24, 2025 UPDATE: Tuten blew away the Combine, posting an insane Speed Score of 118.3🔥. Wide Receivers Tetairoa McMillan (Arizona) – Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona’s standout wide receiver, declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after a stellar junior season, amassing 84 receptions, 1,319 yards, and eight touchdowns. At 6-5 and 210 pounds, his size and 3,423 career receiving yards make him a matchup nightmare. McMillan’s back-to-back 1,300+ yard seasons and 35 catches of 20+ air yards highlight his deep-threat ability. In fantasy football, his size, catch radius, and red-zone prowess project him as a WR1 with top-12 dynasty potential. Especially if landed by a pass-heavy NFL offense. Expect immediate impact from this likely top-15 pick. Luther Burden (Missouri) – Burden’s electric after-catch ability (725 yards, 7 TDs in 2024 despite QB struggles) and quick-twitch moves make him a PPR machine. His 2023 (1,212 yards) shows his ceiling. Running a sub-4.0 short shuttle time could remind scouts of his sophomore dominance, boosting him into Round 1. A spot with a pass-heavy team like the Chargers or Buccaneers could yield WR2 numbers. However, Burden’s reliance on short passes at Mizzou is a red flag. Can a strong Combine ease those concerns? Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State) – Egbuka’s well-rounded game (720 yards, nine touchdowns in 2024) and blazing speed make him a reliable fantasy option. He’s not
2025 Dynasty Football Stashes
2025 Dynasty Football Stashes Building a successful dynasty football roster takes effort. While other managers tune out in February, dynasty zealots are always active. One of the biggest advantages to be gained before the 2025 NFL Draft is via the waiver wire, where proactive dynasty managers can pick up the top 2025 Dynasty Football Stashes. Additionally, because some league mates are asleep at the wheel, these low-rostered stashes can often be added for free. Whether there is a pending free-agent departure, salary cap casualty, or just a young prospect in a favorable position to emerge next summer, targeting these players is integral to reinforcing a dynasty roster. Here are the top 2025 Dynasty Football Stashes to target this spring. Quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor (New York Jets) – We know Aaron Rodgers won’t be back in New York. The rebuilding Jets desperately need to find a franchise signal caller. However, both Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are expected to be gone by the time the club picks at No. 7. That would put Taylor in line to be the team’s opening-day starter. Even if the Jets land a rookie QB, Taylor can again be a bridge starter while the new regime develops the youngster. Taylor is a sneaky add in deeper Superflex formats. Aidan O’Connell/Gardner Minshew (Las Vegas Raiders) – The perpetually retooling Raiders will likely have an open competition between their two veteran incumbents. Additionally, I expect Vegas to be all in on the veteran free agents and possibly an early-round rookie. For now, O’Connell and Minshew are worth speculative adds in Superflex leagues, but I wouldn’t bid more than the minimum. Joe Milton (New England Patriots) – Milton isn’t beating out Drake Maye, but his arm looked outstanding in New England’s finale. Arm talent was never a concern for Milton at Michigan or Tennessee. It may also attract trade interest from other QB-needy teams. Running Backs Antonio Gibson (New England Patriots) – Rhamondre Stevenson’s fumble issues resulted in Gibson earning a bigger role down the stretch last season. With Mike Vrabel now in charge, New England’s backfield is wide-open. Therefore, Gibson could potentially emerge as the team’s starter this summer. Kimani Vidal (Los Angeles Chargers) – Vidal attracted attention as a sleeper last summer. However, Vidal never got more than eight touches in any game. That led to him being dropped in many dynasty leagues. However, with J.K. Dobbins hitting the open market, Vidal ascends the wide-open depth chart. Will Shipley (Philadelphia Eagles) – Kenneth Gainwell is an unrestricted free agent. If Gainwell departs, Shipley offers plus pass-catching ability as the potential change-of-pace option behind Saquon Barkley. Sincere McCormick (Las Vegas Raiders) – Everything will be up for grabs in Las Vegas, including the backfield. McCormick eventually emerged as the Raiders’ starter before incurring a season-ending injury. He averaged 4.7 yards per carry as a rookie. McCormick showed enough to earn some reps this summer, making him worthy of a stash in deeper leagues. With Pete Carroll now in town, McCormick will be given a fair chance to contend for the Raiders’ wide-open starting job. Dameon Pierce (Houston Texans) – Although he looked tremendous in a Week 18 spot start, Pierce wasn’t a good fit in Bobby Slowik’s zone scheme. Perhaps he’ll rekindle some of his rookie magic with Nick Caley now running the offense. Additionally, Pierce could be an attractive trade target after his impressive 176-yard performance to close out the regular season. Wide Receivers Malik Washington (Miami Dolphins) – As a rookie, Washington emerged as Miami’s WR3 down the stretch, averaging five weekly targets from Weeks 15-18. Also, Tyreek Hill is at odds with the team, and Odell Beckham was released. The 23-year-old ran a 4.47, making him a good fit in Mike McDaniel’s scheme. Noah Brown & Olamide Zaccheaus (Washington Commanders) – Washington improved to 17th in passing and 5th in scoring in Jayden Daniels’s first season. Brown (7.8 ppg) and Zaccheaus (7.6 ppg) both had decent showings as the team’s WR3. Both players are unrestricted free agents, but if either re-signs with Washington, they would be on the late-round flier list for 2025. Jordan Whittington (Los Angeles Rams) – For a couple of weeks Jordan Whittington looked like a legit prospect, catching 13-of-18 targets for 151 yards. But just as quickly as he emerged, the 6th-round rookie disappeared. Perhaps the pending departure of Cooper Kupp will lead to Whittington salvaging a role in the Ram’s new-look offense. Also, Tutu Atwell is worth rostering. Jalen Nailor (Minnesota Vikings) – The 2022 6th-rounder emerged as Minnesota’s WR3. Minnesota has ranked 6th, 5th, and 6th in passing in Kevin O’Connell’s three seasons at the helm. Digging Deeper Malik Heath (Green Bay) – Christian Watson will miss most, if not all of 2025 with a knee injury. Heath played 39 snaps and led the Packers in receiving (60) yards in their regular-season finale. He will have a chance to carve out a role this summer. John Metchie (Houston Texans) – An easy kid to root for, Metchie finally got some playing time down the stretch for the Texans. However, it took myriad injuries for him to earn it. With Tank Dell expected to miss 2025 and Stefon Diggs an unrestricted free agent, Metchie has a pre-draft path to a significant role. DeAndre Carter (Chicago Bears) – Keenan Allen is 32 and an unrestricted free agent. While Allen manned the slot over 54% of the time, Carter lined up inside on 69.1% of his snaps as Chicago’s WR4. If Allen departs, as anticipated, Carter could move into the slot full-time. Digging even deeper, teammate Tyler Scott also played predominantly in the slot. Scott also checks the #thirdyearbreakout box. Tight Ends Noah Gray (Kansas City Chiefs) – There’s no denying that Travis Kelce is in decline and there is a chance he retires this offseason. If Kelce does, Gray would instantly contend for TE1 numbers in Kansas City. Theo Johnson (New York Giants) – A 2024 fourth-round selection, Johnson ranked fifth

2024 Fantasy Football Draft Strategy
2024 Fantasy Football Draft Strategy Jody Smith has been a mainstay in the accurate fantasy rankings world for well over a decade. His consistency in the field has accrued numerous accolades, highlighted by winning Fantasy Pro’s Most Accurate Expert Award in 2012 for in-season football rankings. He has also been a consistent draft ranker, with a top-10 finish in 2021 and overall for the past four year’s accumulative. Jody has been involved in fantasy football for over 30 years and is a mainstay in the industry. His season-long and weekly rankings can be found at FullTime Fantasy and he is frequently on X @JodySmithNFL. Because Jody is considered to be one of the preeminent fantasy football analysts and rankers, he is often included in many industry and expert drafts. That experience of competing against the world’s best gives Jody unique insight and the ability to adjust his strategy with a proactive approach. This is Jody’s fantasy football draft strategy and process for the 2024 season. No two leagues are alike or can be predicted from pick to pick. But using these tips as a general guide should net you the core pieces of a strong lineup and the building blocks for a championship-contending roster. Although this strategy transcends all scoring and formats, it is catered around a PPR league that starts 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex options, 1 PK, and 1 DST. Quarterback Strategy Undoubtedly, the most important position on the field is quarterback. And that also applies to fantasy football, where the leading scorers are typically the signal-callers. However, the abundant depth at the position devalues the strategy of taking one of the elite QBs early in drafts. In 2023, the difference in fantasy points per game for the overall QB1 and QB12 was 5.2 points. That’s a 22.5% difference but the gap is far more glaring at each of the other positions. Therefore, I will prioritize opening my draft with elite wide receivers and running backs and try to target value quarterbacks in the mid-to-late rounds. That means bypassing safer options like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes and using my tiers to determine who are the best available signal-callers in Rounds 6-9. This second and third tier of passers offers reliable weekly scoring from multiple options who have a good shot at posting QB1 numbers in 2024. Quarterback Values to Target: Kirk Cousins, Jordan Love, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, Jayden Daniels Running Back Strategy I’m an old-school guy and it is difficult for me to fully embrace the #ZeroRB strategy of ignoring the position until the fourth or fifth rounds. Admittedly, the results over multiple years of embracing a WR-heavy strategy have played out well. It’s also been exasperated by injuries to so many early-round running backs. Still, having an elite, three-down workhorse in your lineup might be the single biggest edge in fantasy. Teams that selected Christian McCaffrey last season can attest to that, as McCaffrey was the top-scoring player regardless of position. Having that kind of production in your lineup is like a cheat code. It also makes investing in a “hero” running back a good idea. Hero RBs are defined as high-volume rushers who stay on the field, accumulating most of their team’s rushing attempts while racking up receptions and valuable touchdowns. Having a plug-and-play weekly starter is invaluable and remains the ultimate goal of every drafter. Even the ZeroRB truthers. Of course, your draft position will dictate how viable selecting a stud RB will be. It might make sense to open your draft WR/WR from a late draft position rather than reach for whoever is available after a draft that opened with a lot of emphasis on running backs. Regardless, I prefer to have that three-down running back locked up by Round 3. In a perfect draft scenario, I would have both RB slots secured by the fourth. After that, the emphasis is on targeting mid-round running backs who contribute in the passing game. These backs may not see lead-back carries initially. However, they have a consistent weekly role and are an injury or benching away from developing into reliable fantasy starters. Finally, I’ll conclude my drafts by targeting high-volume running back handcuffs. Not necessarily my own staters, but youngsters that have strong analytics profiles buried on depth charts. Think Zamir White down the stretch last season. Those are the kinds of players to emphasize when filling out those final roster spots. Early-Round Hero Running Backs: Kyren Williams, Rachaad White, Travis Etienne Middle-Round Targets: Alvin Kamara, Joe Mixon, Aaron Jones Sleepers: Zamir White, Jaylen Warren, Raheem Mostert Wide Receiver Strategy In today’s high-octane PPR leagues, wide receivers have become the primary focal point in many drafts. Not only are wideouts far less likely to miss time than running backs via injury, but elite receivers can produce like three-down backs. Over the last three seasons, seven running backs have averaged over 20 fantasy points per game. During the same stretch, 13 wide receivers have eclipsed that mark. Also, many fantasy leagues have embraced a starting lineup of two RBs and three wide receivers. Many more allow for a pair of flex spots. That further allows savvy fantasy managers to load up their rosters with pass-catchers. It would take real discipline to pass on Christian McCaffrey in Round 1. But after he’s off the board, a case can be made to prioritize wide receiver with the majority of the picks in Round One. Having a later draft slot makes it entirely possible to open with two WR1s and still land a top-10 running back at the tail-end of Round 3. After securing my two running back spots, I generally bypass tight ends and try to target starting wide receivers. The middle rounds (5-9) are often where fantasy titles are won and loading up on as many starting wideouts as I can is my preferred strategy. Chris Godwin, Nico Collins, Adam Thielen, and Puka Nacua were all excellent examples of high-upside starting
Introduction to Dynasty Fantasy Football
Introduction to Dynasty Fantasy Football Fantasy football has exploded over the past several years. Even some of the most diehard managers still have not heard about dynasty fantasy football. If you have that itch in March, April, or even May to “tinker” with a lineup or make a trade, then you have come to the right place and a dynasty league is just the thing for you. The goal here is to give you an essential road map for navigating your first-ever dynasty startup draft and all the nuances involved, which you do not necessarily deal with in redraft leagues. FullTime Fantasy has you covered with the latest dynasty football rankings. Also, check out these great dynasty league start-up tips. Finally, don’t miss out on your chance to win the Dynasty Football World Championship. What is a Dynasty League? We will start by defining a dynasty league courtesy of the industry leader in the format DLF (Dynasty League Football). In a dynasty fantasy football league, you retain most or all of your players yearly. This creates an environment quite different from that of a redraft league. It also creates a stronger sense of team pride, enabling managers to keep players and build a team over time. Success is achieved with greater satisfaction. Mistakes or successes in a dynasty league can affect a franchise’s fortunes for years, just like in the NFL. A dynasty league also facilitates trades, including trading draft picks, and encourages a deeper roster pool so young “project” players can be identified and groomed. Read the Fine Print Familiarize yourself with the rules and settings of your leagues just as you would in redraft. Pay extra special attention to roster sizes, IR (injured reserve) slots, whether or not your league allows taxi squads, and whether or not there are any types of contracts or salaries involved. For beginners, we recommend a more simplified league that does not utilize contracts and salaries. Your draft strategy will change depending on whether the league is non-PPR, half-PPR, or full-PPR. You will also be severely pivoting if it is a Superflex (two-quarterback league) or tight end premium (tight ends scoring weighed heavier) because values change dramatically based on the starting lineup allocations and scoring format. Timely Drafting We can understand the urge to draft immediately once you decide to plunge into the dynasty format, but the prudent approach is to wait until peak redraft season. This will allow you to acquire as much information as possible to make educated and informed decisions. This will be beneficial not only to you but also to other managers who may be new to the dynasty format. Next season, you can have your rookie draft right after the NFL draft to feed that craving you are experiencing in the offseason. Be Active Early and Often While you want to be careful not to mortgage the future too much, a good strategy involves acquiring more picks in the first five or six rounds, if possible. This allows you to draft several sure-fire starters for the current and next several seasons if you have done your due diligence. Ensure your contact information is current and you reply to messages or inquiries about potential trades. Interact with other managers and keep communication moving in a positive direction. This will benefit you in the long term in your dealings with others. Remember, you are joining a dynasty league to feed your addiction, which is now year-round. This is not to say that you must log on to your league site daily, but do check back often. You will learn quickly that values change rapidly in this format, and you need to be keen on capitalizing on the current market. Something else to consider, which is very important, is the reliability of the other managers in the league you join. You want others who are as committed as you and will stick with the league through the good and bad times. Like in your redraft league, there is only one champion, meaning there are 11 (or nine, depending on your league size) other losers. The ability to “reset” your team after a bad season does not exist in a dynasty league. Know Your Values Long gone are the days of just using cheat sheets. There are so many more tools at your disposal now. One of the most important in determining the value of dynasty players is ADP (average draft position). Ryan McDowell organizes ADP data from mock drafts of the Startup Dynasty. It is then published on DLF (Dynasty League Football) for consumption. By using ADP instead of rankings, you remove the opinion of just one expert or panel of experts and incorporate the community as a whole, along with the experts, to gather a consensus value of a particular player. Even more important is that these are broken down by league type (one quarterback or Superflex). The other keyword here is current. DLF updates ADP monthly, so you will have the most recent player valuation to work with during your start-up draft. The last thing to touch on concerning value is the ability to determine what future rookie picks are worth. You will want to determine if other managers overvalue future picks. Try to put a name to the picks involved in the deal to give you the proper framework for the deal. For example, you want to trade for a sixth- or seventh-round pick in your current startup draft. Approximate what player you would target in that range, and then carefully calculate who would be available in the rookie draft next year based on the multitude of prospect rankings available. Stick to Your Guns Do not fall into the trap of filling out your lineup a certain way. Doing so causes you to stray from the BPA (best player available) approach and ultimately leads to reaching for a player to fill a spot, thus decreasing the value of the slot you are drafting from. Leagues have been
2024 NFL Draft Winners & Losers
2024 NFL Draft Winners & Losers The first round of Detroit’s first NFL Draft is in the books. And what a wild ride it was. With 32 picks in the books, it’s time to look back at the first-round 2024 NFL Draft Winners & Losers. Winners Caleb Williams (QB) Chicago Bears – There were no doubts that Williams was going No. 1. However, the Bears also added Washington WR Rome Odunze with the ninth pick. Williams will now open his pro career throwing to D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, Oduzne, and TE Cole Kmet. Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings refused to trade up and stood pat. Their reward- still landing the quarterback they coveted and getting one of the top pass-rushers in this draft. J.J. McCarthy is pro-ready and lands in an offense that led the NFL in passing in 2023. A masterful job by Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Xavier Worthy (WR) Kansas City Chiefs – I love the reinforcement the Chiefs added after a ‘down’ season still led to another Lombardi Trophy. They signed Hollywood Brown and were able to trade up with the Bills to nab the fastest player in the league. Worthy will step in right away and replace Mecole Hardman as the Cheifs’ main deep threat- a role that Tyreek Hill performed to much acclaim. Kyler Murray (QB) Arizona Cardinals – Murray landed a legit No. 1 wide receiver in Marvin Harrison Jr. After the pick, Murray was clearly excited. Fantasy managers should be as well. Harrison has WR1 upside in 2024 and could approach 150 targets. LET’S ROCK!🥋🏎️ @MarvHarrisonJr — Kyler Murray (@K1) April 26, 2024 Losers Atlanta Falcons – Wherever you come out on Michael Penix as a prospect, this was another head-scratcher from Terry Fontenot. Atlanta just went all in on Kirk Cousins to the tune of a $100 million deal with the first two years fully guaranteed. Then, out of nowhere, used the No. 8 pick on a 24-year-old rookie with a lengthy injury history who was widely considered a marginal first-round talent. Cousins was ‘stunned’. So were most football fans. Unless Cousins is behind on his injury rehab, Penix won’t play for a minimum of two years. Additionally, Fontenot may have alienated his prized offseason acquisition. Ricky Pearsall (WR) San Francisco 49ers– Although Pearsall’s dynasty value might actually be considered a winner, his 2024 redraft value took a hit. As long as Brandon Aiyuk remains in red and gold, Pearsall is, at best, fifth in line for targets in San Francisco. I love Ricky Pearsall as a prospect, so I’m not downgrading him too much. However, the No. 5 option in Kyle Shanahan’s offense is typically in the WR75 range due to lack of volume. Malik Nabers (WR) New York Giants – Nabers was my WR1 in the pre-draft process but landing with the Giants is a bit of a concern. I have no confidence in Daniel Jones’s ability to get an alpha wideout enough opportunities to pay off his ADP. I’m still a fan of Nabers in Dynasty, but his redraft value took a hit. Buffalo Bills – The Bills are up first in Round Two after trading out twice and accumulating more draft capital. However, the Bills are in ‘win now’ mode. And those late-round picks are unlikely to help this team win in 2024. Additionally, Buffalo can’t get by the Chiefs and just allowed their rivals to trade up with them and nab the fastest player in NFL Combine history. Michael Mayer (TE) Las Vegas Raiders – Quarterback is already an issue in Vegas. Now, the top tight end from last season just got usurped by one of the top tight end prospects of the last decade. It’s hard to see the Raiders having enough success to keep Mayer fantasy-relevant this season.

Rookie Scouting Profile: Michael Penix Jr.
FullTime Fantasy Rookie Scouting Profile: Michael Penix Jr. Michael Penix Jr. (QB) Washington Ht. Wt. 40-Time NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 6-2 216 4.57* Late 1st 3.10 Tua Tagovailoa * Pro Day College Production Penix was born in Cookeville, TN on May 8, 2000, but was mostly raised in Dade City, Florida. Attended Tampa Bay Technical High School where he compiled 4,243 passing yards and a 61-to-6 TD-to-INT ratio in two seasons as starter. Penix enrolled at Indiana on February 18, 2018 and completed 21-of-34 passes for 219 yards and a score in three games while redshirting. In 2019, Penix started six games and led the Hoosiers to a 5-1 record in those games before a shoulder injury ended his season. Named Indiana’s starter ahead of 2020, Penix again made six starts with a 5-1 record and earned Second-team All-Big-Ten honors before tearing his ACL in a 27-11 home victory against Maryland. 2021 campaign was derailed by a left shoulder injury after five starts. On December 14, 2021, Penix transferred to Washington. Ranked second in FBS with 4,641 passing yards and was named to the All-Pac-12 Second-team in 2022. Concluded college career winning the Maxwell Award, was named Second-team AP All-American, and was a Heisman Trophy finalist after leading the Huskies to the national championship game. Strengths • Strong throwing arm with outstanding accuracy and delivery on deep balls. • Impressive Pro Day measurables. Posted 97th percentile wingspan, 88th percentile hand size, 93rd percentile 40 time, and both his vert and broad jumps were in the top 5th percentile. • Good decision-maker who won’t waste a lot of throws or turn the ball over. Adept at reading through multiple progressions. • Has experience taking snaps under center and in a pro-style offense. • Good feel for pressure. Knows how to step up and get rid of the ball to avoid hits. Only 7.6% of his dropbacks in 2023 resulted in a sack. Concerns • Is already 24 years old with two right ACL tears and major injuries to both shoulders on his resume. • Accuracy drops off when forced outside of the pocket. • Throwing mechanics and release are inconsistent and need refinement. Issues could be further exasperated by the fact that Penix is a southpaw. • College playoffs are good indicators of the best (phenomenal vs. Texas) and worst (struggled vs. Michigan) that Penix brings to the table. • Production in 2023 was helped by an outstanding supporting cast. Fantasy Outlook The two most recent games that Michael Penix played are indicative of his full college resume. There are plenty of positives, like deep-ball accuracy, decision-making, and overall command. However, there are concerns exposed by Michigan that make Penix a polarizing prospect. His draft stock seems to be on the rise. Penix is mocked to the Raiders at 13, which would be good and bad for his 2024 fantasy value. Las Vegas signed Gardner Minshew which could lead to a developmental season for Penix. That’s troubling for a rookie who is already 24. Especially in dynasty formats. Then there are the two major knee and shoulder injuries to consider. That’s a lot of risk for dynasty managers to take into account. Unless Penix falls outside the top 20 in Superflex rookie drafts, I do not anticipate rostering him much.
