The landscape of fantasy football is shifting as the 2022 NFL Draft class becomes relevant, with rookies like Brock Purdy leading the charge into the next season. Veteran players are looming as potential targets in best ball leagues, particularly from the impressive pool of third-year running backs and wide receivers. With the 2025 fantasy season on the horizon, players such as Kyren Williams and James Cook are highlighted for their ability to deliver strong performances without the burden of weekly lineups.

Kyren Williams has emerged as a reliable running back for the Los Angeles Rams, finishing as RB7 last season. James Cook, playing for the Buffalo Bills, is expected to build on his career year and aims for a lucrative contract, showcasing his scoring prowess. Meanwhile, Breece Hall has room for improvement and could benefit from a shift in the Jets’ offensive strategy. Kenneth Walker III's injury struggles could finally mend as the Seahawks' new coaching staff aims to enhance his passing game involvement.
