The San Francisco 49ers selected WR Jordan Watkins with the No. 138 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Watkins had a career year last season at Ole Miss, hauling in 49 passes for 906 yards and nine touchdowns. He'll compete for a role in the 49ers wide receiver room with the departure of Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk working his way back from his torn ACL and MCL.

Fantasy Impact: The Titans traded up into the late fourth round for Ayomanor. The former Stanford star could have fantasy value as a rookie after joining an uninspiring wide receiver room outside Calvin Ridley. Ayomanor and fellow fourth-round pick wide receiver Chimere Dike are sneaky values in dynasty rookie drafts.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected WR Jalen Royals with the No. 133 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Royals totaled almost 2,000 yards combined and 21 touchdowns in two seasons at Utah State. The status of Rashee Rice will need to be monitored throughout the rest of the offseason as Royals attempts to carve out an immediate role.
The Washington Commanders have selected WR Jaylin Lane with the No. 128 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Lane joins an improved wide receiver core in Washington. The former Virginia Tech star provides speed and big play ability to a group lacking options behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. Lane could carve out a fantasy-relevant role as a rookie with Luke McCaffrey and Michael Gallup as his primary competition for targets.

The Tennessee Titans have selected TE Gunnar Helm with the No. 120 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: Helm could earn the starting tight end role as a rookie. Chig Okonkwo is heading into the final year of his contract in 2025. Meanwhile, Josh Whyle hasn't shown much in his two years in the league. Helm has sneaky dynasty appeal in the later rounds.

The Las Vegas Raiders selected WR Dont'e Thorton with the No. 108 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Thornton led college football in catches of 50+ yards yards last season. He joins Geno Smith who liked to throw deep in Seattle. He joins a fairly open Raiders wide receiver room and will be a player to monitor in the offseason program.

Fantasy Impact: Skattebo joins a Giants backfield led by Tyrone Tracy Jr. While Devin Singletary was the team's big free agent addition last offseason, the former Arizona State star could quickly earn the No. 2 role in the backfield. Skattebo should earn a meaningful fantasy role as a rookie alongside Tracy.

The Tennessee Titans selected WR Chimere Dike with the No. 103 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Titans open day three bringing in another wide receiver. Dike hauled in 42 passes for 783 yards with two touchdowns in his lone and final season at Florida. He'll learn from veterans in Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett in the Titans wide receiver room.
The Cleveland Browns have selected QB Dillon Gabriel with the No. 94 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Dillon Gabriel’s 155 career touchdown passes and 1,800 rushing yards bring sneaky dual-threat appeal to Cleveland, but his 5-foot-11 frame projects him as a QB3 for fantasy managers. His short-pass accuracy and 33 rushing scores fit a backup role, limiting 2025 impact. At 24, Gabriel’s athleticism makes him a deep dynasty stash with potential gadget-play upside.
The Seattle Seahawks have selected QB Jalen Milroe with the No. 92 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Milroe ends up as the fourth quarterback off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft. Milroe will have plenty of time to learn and develop with Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, and Sam Howell already on the roster. While Milroe will not hold any fantasy value in 2025, he could be worth a stash in dynasty leagues as Darnold does have an out in his contract in 2027.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected RB Kaleb Johnson with the No. 83 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Kaleb Johnson’s 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2024, plus 28 runs over 15 yards, make him a big-play threat in Pittsburgh, projecting as an RB3 behind Jaylen Warren for fantasy managers. His 224-pound frame and 22 catches add committee value with PPR upside. Johnson’s boom-bust style could carve out a complementary role, offering late-round dynasty appeal.
The Houston Texans have selected WR Jaylin Noel with the No. 79 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Texans have now selected two Iowa State wide receivers, Noel in the third round and Jayden Higgins in the second round. Noel tallied 1,194 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 80 receptions last season. Fantasy managers will want to see how training camp shakes out for Higgins and Noel, as they also have Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Christian Kirk in their wide receiver room.
