Rookie WRs: Immediate Impact & Fantasy Potential

1 week ago | rotobanter.beehiiv.com | Ballfield Banter |Garrett Ball

We’ve done studies on how draft capital can impact a player’s NFL career. Some might have taken some time to hit (Hunter Renfrow, Darnell Mooney, Jauan Jennings), and others hit immediately (Malik Nabers, Ja’Marr Chase, Ladd McConkey). Even so, it’s not like players who are drafted high always hit immediately, and players who are drafted late don’t always take years to develop (Amon-Ra St.Brown for example).

by Garrett Ball | Vikings Correspondent | Fri, Apr 25th 11:20pm EDT The Minnesota Vikings have selected Tai Felton with the No.102 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Fantasy Impact:Felton wrapped up Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft. He will slot in as the WR3 in the Vikings' offense and the fourth target behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson. It's a good landing spot in real life, but it could be tough sledding in fantasy. More Tai Felton: News, Rankings, Projections, Stats

by Garrett Ball | Packers Correspondent | Fri, Apr 25th 10:34pm EDT The Green Bay Packers have selected Savion Williams with the No.87 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Fantasy Impact:The Packers have a wealth of receiver talent, especially after drafting Matthew Golden in the first round.

by Garrett Ball | Broncos Correspondent | Fri, Apr 25th 10:00pm EDT The Denver Broncos have selected Pat Bryant with the No.74 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Fantasy Impact:Bryant played X receiver in college, so there's a high likelihood he could be groomed to be the eventual replacement of Courtland Sutton. However, for his rookie impact, he could slot in as the team's WR2 over Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele. More Pat Bryant: News, Rankings, Projections, Stats

by Garrett Ball | Browns Correspondent | Fri, Apr 25th 9:39pm EDT The Cleveland Browns have selected Harold Fannin Jr. with the No.67 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Fantasy Impact:It's an interesting pick for the Browns, who take the dynamic tight end from Bowling Green to add to their passing attack. However, Fannin faces immediate competition in the tight end room with David Njoku already on the roster.

by Garrett Ball | Raiders Correspondent | Fri, Apr 25th 8:57pm EDT The Las Vegas Raiders have selected Jack Bech with the No.58 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Fantasy Impact:Jack Bech joins a wide-open receiving group headlined by Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers.

2 weeks ago | fantasypros.com | Garrett Ball

by Garrett Ball | Rams Correspondent | Fri, Apr 25th 8:11pm EDT The Los Angeles Rams have taken Terrance Ferguson at No.46 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Fantasy Impact:Tyler Higbee is aging, and Davis Allen hasn't shown much throughout his two years in the league. Ferguson has had some decent production for the Ducks since his sophomore season and should give them a promising young option at tight end in 2025.

by Garrett Ball | Bears Correspondent | Fri, Apr 25th 7:40pm EDT 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.
