The 2025 NFL Draft has shifted the fantasy football landscape dramatically, with notable winners and losers emerging from round one. Calvin Ridley finds himself on the rise, poised to elevate his game as the Tennessee Titans' new number one receiver, thanks to rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Ridley’s impressive 2024 performance, coupled with better quarterback play, positions him as a potential low-end WR2.

On the flip side, Jalen Coker's prospects have dimmed significantly with the Panthers' selection of Tetairoa McMillan. This decision likely sidelines Coker, who had previously shown promise as a depth option. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield's situation has improved with the addition of Emeka Egbuka, enhancing his chances to establish himself as a solid QB1 next season.

Other key players like Travis Hunter, Colston Loveland, and Aaron Rodgers have also seen their stocks fluctuate, with Hunter expected to make an impact in Florida despite the inherent risks of his dual-role approach. Conversely, Russell Wilson's future looks uncertain as the Giants' draft decisions signal a potential shift in the quarterback landscape. The draft has left fantasy managers recalibrating their strategies ahead of the 2025 season.
