As the 2024 fantasy football season concludes, bold predictions for 2025 emerge, particularly around rookies and potential top picks. Malik Nabers is poised to lead the NFL in receiving yards, contingent on the New York Giants securing a competent quarterback, possibly Kirk Cousins, after moving on from Daniel Jones. His impressive rookie season saw him with 170 targets, yet he lagged in receiving yards, highlighting the need for better quarterback play.
Bijan Robinson, after a slow start, has become a top fantasy player, leading all running backs in points per game from Week 6, making him the top choice in upcoming drafts. Meanwhile, Dallas Cowboys' rookie Ashton Jeanty is expected to transform their ailing rushing attack following a standout college season. However, the hype surrounding Baker Mayfield may lead to overdrafting, given his unsustainable touchdown percentage in 2024.
The San Francisco 49ers are anticipated to recover from their injury woes, with key players like Christian McCaffrey returning, which could bolster their offensive performance in 2025.
