Fantasy Impact: Mendoza, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is expected to be the top overall pick at this year's NFL Draft. He threw for 3,535 yards and 41 touchdowns, against only six interceptions, in leading Indiana to a 16-0 record and the program's first-ever National Championship. Instead of throwing to unfamiliar receivers at the combine, Mendoza will save his arm until April where he will throw to the same receivers who helped him rewrite Indiana's record books.
The Houston Texans selected TE Luke Lachey with the No. 255 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Lachey held a limited role in the receiving game at Iowa. He will add depth to the tight end room for the Texans.
