2025 Fantasy Football Draft Insights: Key Risers and Fallers

As the final Fantasy football drafts approach, here’s a rundown of the top 10 players who have significantly changed their draft positions this offseason:

Key Risers

1. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB, Washington Commanders)

   • Att: 18
   • Yds: 70
   • TD: 1
   • FL: 0

   Croskey-Merritt emerged as a standout, particularly after the Commanders traded Brian Robinson Jr. His low college stats mean cautious optimism is needed.

2. TreVeyon Henderson (RB, New England Patriots)

   • Att: 5
   • Yds: 38
   • TD: 1
   • FL: 0

   Henderson is likely to see increased responsibilities soon, possibly becoming a valuable pick in the later rounds.

3. Ricky Pearsall (WR, San Francisco 49ers)

   • TAR: 46
   • REC: 31
   • REC YDs: 400
   • REC TD: 3

   Pearsall’s target share can increase due to teammate injuries, making him worth considering earlier than drafted.

Key Fallers

1. Breece Hall (RB, New York Jets)

   • Att: 209
   • Yds: 876
   • TD: 5
   • FL: 2

   Concerns about the Jets’ backfield dynamics have caused Hall to slip down draft boards despite solid performance last season.

2. Garrett Wilson (WR, New York Jets)

   • TAR: 154
   • REC: 101
   • REC YDs: 1104
   • REC TD: 7

   Wilson’s efficiency might be hindered without a stable quarterback situation.

3. Jayden Reed (WR, Green Bay Packers)

   • TAR: 75
   • REC: 55
   • REC YDs: 857
   • REC TD: 6

   Reed’s slide in rankings is due to increased competition and injuries affecting his efficacy.
