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.

2025 Rookie Profile: Luther Burden III (WR) Missouri

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Luther Burden III, the standout wide receiver from Missouri.

Resume

Luther Burden III, a wide receiver from Missouri, entered college as one of the most heralded recruits in the 2022 class. A consensus five-star prospect out of East St. Louis Senior High School, he was ranked as the No. 1 receiver nationally by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports and the No. 6 overall player per 247Sports Composite.

Named MaxPreps National Player of the Year, Burden dominated his senior season with 71 receptions for 1,174 yards and 20 touchdowns. Choosing Missouri over Alabama and Georgia, he became the Tigers’ highest-rated receiver signee in program history and only their fourth five-star recruit in the past two decades.

At Missouri, Burden earned First-Team All-SEC honors in 2023 and 2024, Second-Team All-America in 2023, and was a 2023 Biletnikoff Award semifinalist. He declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after his junior season.

College Stats

Burden’s 2023 season was a breakout, with 1,212 receiving yards ranking third in Missouri single-season history and five consecutive 100+ yard games, a feat only one other Tiger has achieved. His 2024 production dropped due to a combination of shoulder/arm injuries, an undisclosed illness, and a regressed Missouri passing game (team passing yards fell from 3,671 in 2023 to 2,535 in 2024). Despite this, he maintained an 85.9% catch rate and faced heavier defensive attention.

2022 (Freshman): 45 receptions, 375 yards (8.3 YPC), 6 receiving TDs; 18 rushes, 88 yards (4.9 YPC), 2 rushing TDs; 24 punt returns, 251 yards (10.5 avg), 1 punt-return TD

2023 (Sophomore): 86 receptions, 1,212 yards (14.1 YPC), 9 TDs; 13 rushes, 75 yards (5.8 YPC); started all 13 games

2024 (Junior): 61 receptions, 676 yards (11.1 YPC), 6 TDs; 9 rushes, 115 yards (12.8 YPC), 2 TDs; started 10 of 12 games

Career Totals: 192 receptions, 2,263 yards (11.8 YPC), 21 TDs; 40 rushes, 278 yards (7.0 YPC), 4 TDs; 24 punt returns, 251 yards (10.5 avg), 1 TD

Measurables

Burden’s measurables reflect a compact, explosive athlete. His below-average height and arm length limit his catch radius, but his elite speed and agility shine in open-field scenarios. Smaller hands are a minor concern, though his drop rate (3.5% over his final two seasons) suggests reliable ball skills.

Height: 5-11

Weight: 206 pounds

Arm Length: 31.25”

Hand Size: 8.5”

40-Yard Dash: 4.41 seconds (95th percentile)

10-Yard Split: 1.54 seconds (90th percentile)

Vertical Jump: Not publicly reported

Broad Jump: Not publicly reported

Other: Elite speed score (88th percentile), 28% career target-per-route-run rate (3rd in 2025 WR class), 0.49 missed tackles forced per reception.

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.

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.
