The 2025 NFL Draft has officially concluded, meaning many dynasty rookie drafts are underway. As is the case every year, some notable prospects weren’t fortunate enough to hear their name called at the draft podium, ultimately finding their NFL home post-draft.
While draft capital is a significant factor in determining future fantasy impact, there have been plenty of undrafted free agents in NFL history who went on to become incredible assets for our fantasy teams. Priest Holmes, Tony Romo, Antonio Gates, Austin Ekeler and Wes Welker all provided elite fantasy production despite going undrafted.
Who are the top undrafted free agent (UDFA) prospects to target late in rookie drafts or scoop up off the waiver wire? I’ll answer that question below with a one-round UDFA mock draft (dynasty, Superflex, PPR and TE-Premium).

Undrafted Free Agent Fantasy Football Mock Draft
1.01: Xavier Restrepo (WR – TEN)
Xavier Restrepo pairs up with former teammate Cam Ward on a Tennessee team that desperately needs someone to step up at the wide receiver position.
Restrepo’s 4.83 40-yard dash pushed him down draft boards, but this was never Restrepo’s strength. He’s a physical slot receiver with reliable hands who can move the chains.
With Tyler Lockett coming to town, Restrepo may have to wait his turn, but he could pay dividends for patient dynasty managers.
1.02: Raheim Sanders (RB – LAC)
As a self-proclaimed Raheim “Rocket” Sanders bull, I was disappointed to see he went undrafted. However, Sanders does land in a nice spot where he could earn No. 2 RB honors as soon as 2026 if Najee Harris disappoints and the Chargers decide to move on after this season.
Sanders will never jump Hampton on the depth chart, but he could have contingent upside if things fall his way.
1.03: Efton Chism III (WR – NE)
One of my favorite dart throws is Efton Chism, the wide receiver out of Eastern Washington. Chism had a dominant final season for the Eagles, posting over 1,300 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on an eye-popping 3.45 yards per route run (YPRR) and a 38.5% target per route (TPRR).
New England has a history of whiffing on wide receivers in the NFL Draft, leading to a wide-open depth chart. Assuming Kyle Williams plays on the outside, Chism only needs to beat out DeMario Douglas for the starting slot position.
1.04: Nick Nash (WR – ATL)
Nick Nash is an older prospect out of San Jose State who began his college career as a quarterback before transitioning to wide receiver. He was a force for the Spartans in 2024, leading FBS wide receivers in targets, yards, receptions and touchdowns this past season.
Sure, he has an unusual prospect profile, but I won’t ignore that kind of production. Nash moved to the slot in 2024, where he was most successful. The current starting slot receiver for Atlanta is Ray-Ray McCloud. Don’t tell me Nash can’t earn a starting role in 2025.
1.05: Andrew Armstrong (WR – MIA)
Andrew Armstrong is also an older prospect, beginning his college journey in 2019 at East Texas A&M. He redshirted in 2019 and was granted an extra year of eligibility following the COVID-19 season in 2020, which led to his six-year career.
Armstrong transferred to Arkansas for his final two seasons and posted some great numbers in 2024, amassing 1,110 receiving yards on 2.81 YPRR and nearly a 30% target rate.
With Tyreek Hill entering his age-31 season, there’s a path to Armstrong competing for Miami’s X receiver role in the next year or two if he impresses.
1.06: Ja’Quinden Jackson (RB – JAX)
Armstrong’s teammate at Arkansas, Ja’Quinden Jackson, is one of the larger backs in this draft class, measuring in at 6-foot-1 and 229 pounds. He’s not your most agile athlete, but he has the size and power to grind out tough yardage on the ground if called upon.
I think Jacksonville moves on from Travis Etienne after this season, and Tank Bigsby is no more than a career backup. I’m making Bhayshul Tuten a priority target in the mid-second round of my Superflex rookie drafts. Maybe Jackson turns into Tuten’s backup with some fantasy upside if he sees the rock in short-yardage situations.
1.07: Jalin Conyers (TE – MIA)
Let’s head back to Miami for another pass-catcher in Jalin Conyers out of Texas Tech. Conyers was one of the better athletes in this draft class, posting a 9.28 relative athletic score (RAS), highlighted by some excellent explosion and agility grades.
Conyers is only 6-foot-3, but is a brick house at 260 pounds, making him an extremely competent blocker. Whether this turns into fantasy production remains to be seen, but with Jonnu Smith heading into his final season on contract, Conyers could see playing time sooner rather than later.
1.08: Marcus Yarns (RB – NO)
Marcus Yarns is an undersized but dynamic running back out of Delaware, where he posted over 1,110 scrimmage yards and double-digit touchdowns in each of his final two seasons.
Yarms has a long climb to reach the top of this depth chart, but outside of Alvin Kamara (who will be 30 this summer), there’s not much talent in this backfield.
1.09: Isaiah Bond (WR – FA)
With Isaiah Bond facing legal trouble, there’s a real chance no NFL team will be willing to sign him. Whether or not he deserves a chance to play is an entirely different conversation, but I think we can all agree Bond is the most talented player on this list.
Bond didn’t post gaudy college numbers but is a twitchy separator with splash-play ability.
1.10: Elijhah Badger (WR – KC)
Elijhah Badger led this Florida receiving room in receiving yards (806) and receiving touchdowns (four) this past season and finds himself in a pretty fun landing spot playing with Patrick Mahomes.
Badger was also a major producer during his final two seasons at Arizona State and has the versatility to line up wherever. The Chiefs’ wide receiver room wouldn’t be the toughest one to break through, so Badger might have a shot to make a real impact.
1.11: Jake Briningstool (TE – KC)
Another Chiefs UDFA, Jake Briningstool, doesn’t pop analytically or on tape for me, but I think the landing spot alone warrants a first-round selection in this UDFA mock.
Briningstool is undersized for an NFL tight end at just 241 pounds, so he may need to put on some size to have a shot. With Travis Kelce and Robert Tonyan potentially gone after 2025, Briningstool may only have Noah Gray in front of him.
1.12: Seth Henigan (QB – JAX)
I don’t think Trevor Lawrence is getting benched. I’m quite bullish on Lawrence in dynasty, actually, given the added weapons around him now.
That said, Seth Henigan has a shot at establishing himself as the No. 2 QB in this offense, as the only other notable quarterback on the roster is Nick Mullens. Henigan has size and experience.
