Biggest surprises coming out of the 2025 NFL Draft
Shedeur Sanders‘ unexpected fall was the story of the draft: Nobody viewed Sanders as a likely mid-Day 3 pick heading into the draft, and his eventual selection was made even more peculiar by the team that drafted him. The Atlanta Falcons put a lot of pressure on themselves: Trading back into the first round and giving up a future first-rounder shows the team has a lot of confidence in James Pearce Jr. Subscribe to PFF+: Get access to player grades, PFF Premium Stats, fantasy football rankings, all of the PFF fantasy draft research tools and more!

Fantasy Football Rankings 2025: Superflex top 500
Jayden Daniels takes the top spot: The gap in fantasy points per game between Daniels, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson was relatively small last season. But Daniels now gets a boost with the additions of wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. and left tackle Laremy Tunsil in Washington, while both Allen and Jackson have seen their rushing volume gradually decline, making Daniels the top fantasy quarterback entering 2025. Wait on your second quarterback: With around two dozen quarterbacks you can reasonably be optimistic about in 2025, it’s perfectly fine to wait and be one of the last teams to draft a QB2 in superflex formats.

Kladno zbrojí. Z Liberce přichází k Rytířům Kelly Klíma
„Kelly je prověřený extraligový útočník, který je ve svých sedmadvaceti letech v ideálním hokejovém věku. Dobře bruslí a pro soupeře dokáže být nepříjemný, i těchto předností budeme chtít využít. Věříme, že bude pro náš tým posilou,“ uvedl sportovní manažer Kladna Jiří Burger.Klíma stejně jako jeho dvojče Kevin, útočník Hradce Králové, je rodákem z Tampy Bay a k americkému občanství získal předloni i české. Kevin v letošní přípravě na mistrovství světa v Herningu a Stockholmu debutoval v české reprezentaci, Kelly na příležitost čeká.Za Liberec Kelly Klíma v uplynulé sezoně odehrál 51 zápasů a připsal si pět branek a sedm nahrávek. Celkem má v extralize bývalý hráč Hradce Králové a Mladé Boleslavi na kontě 248 utkání a 63 bodů za 27 gólů a 36 přihrávek. Má za sebou také působení v Tucsonu v AHL a v Norfolku v ECHL.Rytíři už přivedli kanadského obránce Jérémieho Blaina z Hradce Králové, Tomáše Tomka ze Sparty a Martina Matějíčka z Peterborough ze zámořské juniorské ligy OHL a do útoku Kanaďana Daniela Audettea z Klotenu, Marcela Barinku z Vítkovic, […]
How Logan Thompson is dominating the NHL playoffs with smart reads and ‘nth degree’ competitiveness
A long time ago, 12-year-old Logan Thompson was battling shooters inside the East Calgary Twin Arenas ice rink.Even at a young age, the competitive streak in the Washington Capitals’ star goaltender was evident. Because of that, Thompson was a huge fan of the game of “rebound,” which pits the goalie against anywhere between five and seven shooters.AdvertisementThe shooters take turns firing pucks from the top of the slot while the others circle the crease hunting for rebounds. If the goalie can make the save and freeze the puck or deflect it beyond the goal line, he earns a point. If the army of shooters can get the puck into the net, they earn a point.It can be a brutally taxing game for the goalie, who is always outnumbered, but Thompson loved it. He would play it all night if the […]
How long can the Houston Astros stay so right-handed?
HOUSTON — Before beginning a three-game series against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park, the Cincinnati Reds altered their starting rotation. Probables issued by both teams on Friday afternoon listed left-hander Andrew Abbott as Sunday’s starter.Replacing Abbott with rookie right-hander Chase Petty may have been in response to Hunter Greene’s groin injury and maintaining Petty’s routine, but Abbott still could’ve started the series finale on full rest.Advertisement“We for sure thought we were going to see Abbott,” Houston first baseman Christian Walker said. “They’re willing to tinker with their rotation to avoid throwing a righty. I think it’s a compliment.”Skipping Abbott was a sensible decision and accentuated a flaw of the Houston Astros’ floundering offense. Twelve of the team’s 14 active position players hit right-handed. The two that don’t are backup catchers, creating a lineup devoid of dimensions and difficult to […]
How Max Verstappen is saving F1 2025 from one-team domination dullness
When McLaren’s Oscar Piastri crossed the finish line to win the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, only his teammate Lando Norris was in sight. The crowd at the Hard Rock Stadium had to wait an age in Formula One terms for anything other than an MCL39 to round the track’s final corners.The gap from Piastri to Mercedes driver George Russell in third place was 37.6 seconds — the biggest winning margin between two teams since the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix (38.6 seconds).AdvertisementThat year, Red Bull won by more than 20 seconds eight times, as it swept to 21 victories in 22 grand prix races — a record-breaking 95.5 percent conversion rate. In 2025, with Piastri’s Miami triumph, McLaren now has five wins in six races. Russell has already predicted McLaren should convert a similar win total to Red Bull’s best season, […]
