Tetairoa McMillan - English
Travis Hunter - English
Summer is the ideal time to start building strategies for fantasy football drafts for the 2025 season. Although there are still weeks to go before the official kickoff, mock drafts, minicamps and depth reports are beginning to reveal which rookies have the ideal profile to explode from year one, especially in PPR leagues and dynasty formats.

Many of these rookies come with immediate impact labels: guaranteed volume, aerial skills and a perfect fit in offensive systems that prioritise their talent. Whether it’s opportunity, potential or sheer talent, this year’s crop is loaded with names that could transform any roster from the first month.
Rookies who can produce from Week 1
Ashton Jeanty (Raiders) is the crown jewel. His dominance in the Boise State backfield translates into an impending workload as Las Vegas’ rushing leader. With Chip Kelly’s offensive system designed for versatile running backs, Jeanty will not only rack up rushing yards, but will also be a constant threat on passing plays. His value as an RB1 is already a reality in redraft leagues.
Omarion Hampton (Chargers) is another running back who should see action immediately. His physical style and ability to read blocks make him an ideal fit in Los Angeles’ ground game. Although he will share touches with Najee Harris, Hampton has the profile of a solid RB2, with the possibility of ascending if he earns the trust of the coaching staff early on.
Explosive receivers with a growing role
Travis Hunter (Jaguars) is one of the most intriguing talents. With a unique combination of explosiveness and technical ability, Hunter can play both in the slot and out wide, being a headache for opposing defenses. Alongside Brian Thomas Jr, he has the potential to become the ideal WR3 who occasionally delivers WR2 weeks thanks to his ability to generate big plays.
Tetairoa McMillan (Panthers) could be the constant volume option in Carolina. His stature and control in the air make him a reliable target for intermediate and red zone plays. His ceiling is moderate, but his floor is high for formats that reward consistency. He’s a WR3 from the start with room to grow.More rookies to consider in fantasy:
- RJ Harvey – Denver Broncos
- Quinshon Judkins – Cleveland Browns
- Kaleb Johnson – Pittsburgh Steelers
- TreVeyon Henderson – New England Patriots
- Cam Skattebo – New York Giants
- Jaydon Blue – Dallas Cowboys
- Matthew Golden – Green Bay Packers
- Colston Loveland – Chicago Bears
- Luther Burden III – Chicago Bears
- Emeka Egbuka – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Tre Harris – Los Angeles Chargers
- Bhayshul Tuten – Jacksonville Jaguars
- Tyler Warren – Indianapolis Colts
- Jack Bech – Las Vegas Raiders
- Jaylin Noel – Houston Texans
Success in dynasty fantasy often lies in spotting value before the rest. Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty lead a class of rookies who, because of their talent and situation, are ready to shine from their first year. Whether it’s in the early rounds or as late-round picks in deep formats, there are pieces that could define championships as early as September.

NBA free agency 2025: Myles Turner tops long list of starting-caliber center talent
If you need a center, you might be in luck; while there isn’t a max-worthy target out there, several starting-caliber big men hit the market this year, and many of them are gettable for rivals due to their own teams’ tight salary-cap situations. Even beyond that, the market for the tax and room-exception big men looks frothy, making this arguably the most interesting position of the summer in terms of player movement.AdvertisementAs always, I’ve included all free agents and potential free agents due to player options, team options and non-guaranteed contracts, except for the most unlikely cases. For instance, surely Oklahoma City’s Jaylin Williams, Philadelphia’s Adem Bona and Golden State’s Trayce Jackson-Davis need not sweat about their non-guaranteed minimum deals.Here’s how BORD$ (more on the methodology here) sees the centers:(PO = player option; TO = team option; NG = non-guaranteed; […]
Stříbrného Fuksu dělilo 57 tisícin sekundy od evropského titulu. Dostálovi medaile těsně unikla
Pro letos dosud neporaženého Fuksu byl nejvážnějším finálovým soupeřem Rumun Chirila, který byl na metě 500 metrů už o čtyři desetiny sekundy vpředu. Český vodák měl sice skvělý finiš, ale nakonec mezi nimi rozhodoval fotofiniš, jehož výsledek mluvil ve prospěch soupeře.Finálový závod kajakářů hodně zostra rozjel Portugalec Pimenta, v polovině trati měl v čele více než sekundový náskok a nikdo už ho nedostihl. Dostál se dlouho držel na pátém místě a chystal si útok na poslední pětistovku. Vytáhl se na medailovou pozici, o stříbru a bronzu pak rozhodovala až cílová fotografe mezi českým reprezentantem, Maďarem Kopászem a Švédem Nathellem, kterému nakonec připadlo druhé místo rozdílem jediné setiny sekundy. Dostál se musel smířit se čtvrtou příčkou.
