The Detroit Lions have selected WR Isaac TeSlaa with the No. 70 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Isaac TeSlaa’s 6-foot-4 frame and 4.43s speed, paired with a 54.5 percent contested catch rate, make him a red-zone target in Detroit, projecting as a WR4 with developmental upside for fantasy managers. His 79 percent slot usage and zero drops in 2024 add PPR potential in a Lions offense craving size. At 214 pounds, TeSlaa’s Senior Bowl buzz hints at a sneaky late-round dynasty stash.

The New England Patriots have selected WR Kyle Williams with the No. 69 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Patriots continue to focus on adding pieces to a rebuilding offense. Williams totaled 14 touchdowns and 1,198 receiving yards on 70 receptions last season. He will likely have a hard time carving out a role early, but should Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, or Mack Hollins struggle early, Williams could see playing time alongside Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas.
The Denver Broncos have selected RB RJ Harvey with the No. 60 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: R.J. Harvey’s 1,577 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024, paired with a 4.4s 40, make him a high-volume threat in Denver, challenging Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime for lead-back duties. His 200-plus receiving yards annually add PPR appeal, projecting him as an RB3 with RB2 upside. At 205 pounds, Harvey’s elite burst could carve out a fantasy role in a crowded Broncos backfield.
The Los Angeles Chargers have selected WR Tre Harris with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Chargers continue to use the 2025 NFL Draft to provide QB Justin Herbert with weapons. Harris tallied 1,030 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 60 receptions in 2024. He will likely enter training camp competing with Mike Williams for the No. 3 wide receiver spot on the Chargers' 2025 roster.
The Seattle Seahawks have selected TE Elijah Arroyo with the No. 50 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Elijah Arroyo’s 590 yards and 8.9 YAC per reception in 2024 bring a dynamic slot threat to Seattle, but his backup role behind Noah Fant caps him as a TE2 for fantasy managers. His 35 catches and seven scores show red-zone upside if Fant is traded. At 250 pounds, Arroyo’s project status makes him a late-round dynasty stash with 2025 breakout potential.
The New York Jets have selected TE Mason Taylor with the No. 42 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Taylor tallied 546 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 55 receptions in 12 games in 2024. The second-round pick has a chance to make an immediate impact in the Jets' offense. With only Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt as the current tight ends penciled in to make the roster, Taylor has an opportunity to carve out a nice role in his rookie season.
The New Orleans Saints have selected QB Tyler Shough with the No. 40 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Tyler Shough’s 7,820 career passing yards and 4.63s 40 speed bring a downfield threat to the Saints, but his 63 percent completion rate signals a raw QB2 option for fantasy managers. Inconsistent under pressure, he’ll need New Orleans’ weapons to unlock his 59-touchdown college potential. At 26, Shough’s seven-year journey makes him a late-round dynasty dart with modest 2025 upside.
The Chicago Bears have selected Luther Burden III with the No.39 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: It's a puzzling case for fantasy. The Bears already drafted Colston Loveland in Round 1 while having DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and Cole Kmet on the roster. So the target competition is high. However, Ben Johnson hopefully has a plan on how to use him effectively, and for real-life purposes, they are loading up on offensive talent and look like an explosive offense.

The New England Patriots have selected RB TreVeyon Henderson with the No. 38 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Patriots have provided QB Drake Maye with help on the offensive side of the ball. Henderson will likely compete with Rhamondre Stevenson for the starting spot in a rebuilding Patriots' offense. He also has plenty of experience operating as a member of a timeshare, as he split time with fellow 1,000-yard rusher Quinshon Judkins with Ohio State in 2024.
The Cleveland Browns have selected RB Quinshon Judkins with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Quinshon Judkins’ 1,060 yards and 14 scores in 2024 at Ohio State, paired with a 4.48s 40, make him a downhill force in Cleveland, likely seizing the starting role over Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong. His workhorse build and 194-carry college frame project him as an RB2 with weekly starter potential for fantasy managers. At 221 pounds, Judkins’ elite burst could deliver consistent production in a Browns backfield craving a lead back.

The Houston Texans selected WR Jayden Higgins with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Texans bring in the first wide receiver in day two in Higgins who had drawn some comparisons to Nico Collins. With the uncertainty of Tank Dell, he'll have a chance to compete for targets from CJ Stroud behind Collins and alongside Christian Kirk.
The Kansas City Chiefs have selected OL Josh Simmons with the No. 32 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Josh Simmons’ one-sack-allowed mark over 1,131 Ohio State snaps brings nimble protection to the Chiefs’ line, ensuring Patrick Mahomes more time to fuel a dynamic passing attack for fantasy managers. His balanced movement on run plays opens lanes, boosting Kansas City’s backfield efficiency. Despite a 2024 injury, Simmons’ athletic profile at 317 pounds promises a fantasy-friendly upgrade to the Chiefs’ offense.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected LB Jihaad Campbell with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Eagles traded up to get Campbell, moving up one spot ahead of the Chiefs to add him to their linebacker corps. Campbell was widely considered one of the best LB prospects in the NFL Draft and will add more talent to an already fierce Philadelphia defense. After notching 117 tackles last season with Alabama, Campbell is on the radar as an intriguing prospect in IDP rookie drafts.
The Buffalo Bills have selected CB Maxwell Hairston with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Washington Commanders selected OT Josh Conerly Jr. with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Conerly showcased his versatility and patience in college at Oregon. He'll immediately upgrade the tackle position on the offensive line for Washington who'll look to continue to protect Jayden Daniels.
The Detroit Lions have selected DT Tyleik Williams with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Tyleik Williams’ 89th percentile run grade and 33 stops in 2023 make him a two-gapping terror on Detroit’s interior, likely clogging lanes for opposing backs and frustrating fantasy managers. His immediate early-down role could force more passing attempts, creating IDP value with potential turnovers. At 334 pounds, Williams’ brute force adds a fantasy hurdle for run-heavy offenses facing the Lions.
The Baltimore Ravens have selected S Malaki Starks with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Starks will solidify the Baltimore secondary as he can play safety and slot corner while forming a formidable one-two punch in the secondary with fellow safety Kyle Hamilton. Starks becomes the third Georgia Bulldogs defensive player to be selected in the first round of the 2025 Draft after Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker went at picks 11 and 15, respectively.
The Atlanta Falcons have selected EDGE James Pearce Jr. with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Falcons traded pick 46, 242, and a 2026 first-rounder to the Rams for picks 26 and 101. Pearce led the Tennessee Volunteers in tackles for loss and sacks in 13 games last season. The trade package to the Rams is a lot, but could be worth it in the long run if Pearce turns into one of the top pass rushers in the NFL.

The New York Giants selected QB Jaxson Dart with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: The Giants traded up with the Texans to move back into round one. After drafting Abdul Carter at No. 3 overall, they elect to draft the quarterback of their future in Dart. He figures to likely sit in year one behind Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.
The Minnesota Vikings have selected OG Donovan Jackson with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact: Donovan Jackson’s 98.7 percent pass-block efficiency and zero penalties in 2023 at Ohio State bolster the Vikings’ line, ensuring their quarterback cleaner pockets for a steadier passing attack. His hip flexibility and second-level blocking open wider run lanes, elevating Minnesota’s backfield production for fantasy managers. As a First Team All-Big Ten guard, Jackson’s projectable frame adds a reliable fantasy boost to the Vikings’ offense.
