Fantasy Football 2025 Dynasty Rookie Rankings, 1st-Round Mock After NFL Draft

The 2025 NFL draft is over, and this year's rookie class features a host of players who could be making big fantasy impacts both this year and beyond.

Of course, that group is led by Heisman finalist and new Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty, the No. 6 overall pick. Jeanty finished 2024 with 2,739 yards from scrimmage and 30 touchdowns. He'll look to make another monstrous impact in the pros.

Jeanty isn't the only running back who could be making early waves, with other examples including Omarion Hampton of the Los Angeles Chargers, TreVeyon Henderson of the New England Patriots and Quinshon Judkins of the Cleveland Browns.

Running backs largely populate the 2025 dynasty rankings and early mock drafts. Here's a look at a position-by-position list and a 12-team first-round mock (half-point PPR).

There are a few big question marks here that are hard to gauge right now.

For starters, it really won't be clear how much Jacksonville Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter plays on offense until the season gets going in earnest. He'll be playing on both sides in Jacksonville, but one can surmise he's not going to be a full-time wide receiver and a full-time cornerback.

He managed the job at Colorado, which was simply remarkable (and that may be an understatement), but it may be more difficult in the more physical pros, especially when the season lasts five more games (plus playoffs).

But he's so electric (96 catches, 1,258 yards, 15 touchdowns) that even in more limited time, Hunter can make a fantasy impact.

Elsewhere, it'll be interesting to see if UCF running back RJ Harvey becomes a star in Denver.

Over his final two years in school, Harvey amassed 3,498 yards and 42 touchdowns. He rushed for 6.5 yards per carry and caught 39 passes too. Simply put, he has the explosiveness and versatility that could lead to him becoming a great weapon for head coach Sean Payton, who clearly loves the rookie.

There's a door open for someone to assume a heavy workload in town with Javonte Williams now a Dallas Cowboy. It's quite conceivable for Harvey to win the RB1 job and assume the bulk of the carries ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime.

The big question is how much work Harvey sees. If he gets close to 300 touches per year, he could be quite productive and a huge fantasy asset. If he shares more backfield touches, his fantasy value will obviously take a hit, but the potential is certainly there.

4. Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren
5. Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins
6. New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson

Johnson and Warren's placements may stand out here.

For Johnson, it may be because he was a third-round choice landing higher than a host of players selected before him (namely two other RB in Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson).

For Warren, it could be because he's ranked fourth overall and higher than Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland, selected four spots before him at No. 10.

The guess here, though, is that their college production and landing spots lead to great success in the pros.

Johnson was a monster for an Iowa team that featured an unsuccessful passing game. Defenses could key in on the team's top weapon, but it didn't stop him from amassing 1,725 total yards and 23 touchdowns last season.

Now he's playing for a Steelers team (and offensive coordinator in Arthur Smith) that loves to run the ball. The door is open for a running back to walk through after Najee Harris, the author of four straight 1,000-yard seasons, left in free agency for the Los Angeles Chargers. Johnson could certainly assume Harris' role and become a 1,000-yard back himself.

As for Warren, he's simply a monster. Not only did he catch 104 passes for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns, but he also rushed 26 times for 218 yards and four more scores.

He's capable of becoming the next Rob Gronkowski or Travis Kelce or Brock Bowers as the No. 1 focal point of a team's offense. Sure, the Colts have a talented running back (Jonathan Taylor) and solid wideouts in Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. But Warren is just that good, and he can be a security blanket for the eventual Colts QB1, either Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones.
