As we wrap up the top 50 rookies for the 2025 fantasy football season, it’s clear that Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty stands out as the consensus top pick. With his elite blend of vision, power, and pass-catching ability, Jeanty is poised to make an immediate impact and is the safest bet in this class.

Meanwhile, the quarterback landscape leaves much to be desired beyond Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders—while Ward looks like a potential franchise QB, Sanders remains a polarizing prospect with lingering concerns about his ability to transition to the next level. On the other hand, the wide receiver class is rich with depth, offering several intriguing prospects who could carve out significant roles early on. However, tight end and quarterback options are noticeably thin, making it a challenging year for fantasy managers looking to secure long-term assets at those positions. Understanding this draft class's strengths and weaknesses will be crucial for dynasty managers aiming to build a sustainable contender.

This list will be updated throughout the offseason and after the NFL Draft as each prospect's landing spot will greatly impact their value in the fantasy football community. Check back here at Fantasy On SI for more updates.
