- Tory Horton could get an early opportunity to produce in Seattle’s new-look offense: The fifth-rounder is the rookie WR15 by ADP but has a clearer path to snaps than some of the first-year receivers being drafted ahead of him.
- Oronde Gadsden II is a late-round dart throw: The rookie has early-season potential in Los Angeles, backed by Greg Roman’s affinity for tight ends and a shallow depth chart ahead of him.

There’s never time to take your foot off the pedal in dynasty fantasy football; it’s a year-round process. Scouting the Ashton Jeantys and Cam Wards of the world for fantasy potential is the easy part. Finding the Kyren Williamses and Puka Nacuas tends to be a bit harder.
So, we’re diving into rookie stashes position by position. These three players at every position may go off the board late or not at all in 2025 dynasty rookie drafts, but they’re worth stashing due to their ability and team environment.
Quarterback
Cam Miller, Las Vegas Raiders
The North Dakota State product earned elite 90.0-plus PFF overall grades in each of the past two seasons, and his 1.7% turnover-worthy play rate over that span was one of the best marks in college football. He comes with the obvious caveat that recent North Dakota State quarterbacks have been hit-or-miss in the NFL, from Carson Wentz to Easton Stick to Trey Lance, but don’t let that stop you from stashing the dual-threat weapon in deeper leagues.

Running Back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Washington Commanders
Croskey-Merritt sits as just the RB20 in 2025 dynasty rookie drafts, buried in a class full of potential workhorses. While the Commanders made him the final running back selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, his potential to eventually lead the team’s backfield makes him a dynasty stash.

Wide Receiver
Tory Horton, Seattle Seahawks
There is no better time to invest in an unknown in the Seahawks’ receiver room. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and quarterback Sam Darnold enter their first season with the team and are set to usher in a new offensive era — one in which anyone could emerge as a fantasy asset.

Tight End
Oronde Gadsden II, Los Angeles Chargers
Gadsden is less a stash and more a late-rounder with a significant opportunity to work his way into the Chargers’ TE1 role in short order. The rookie TE7’s ADP places him at the very end of four-round drafts with 12 teams, but his upside is that of the class’ TE3.

Steelers, DeShon Elliott officially agree to new three-year contract for safety to remain in Pittsburgh

Fantasy Baseball: Chandler Simpson’s return, Mike Trout’s bounce back worth betting on in the second half
When the Red Sox, Athletics, and Pirates finish up their games on Tuesday night, they'll be the first teams to reach 81 games played for the season. That doesn't mean we're quite at the exact midway point of the MLB season – let alone the not-actually-the-midway-point of the All-Star break – but it's the first milestone for the halfway point, and that makes it as good a time as any to start looking ahead to the second half. In today's column, I've got four hitters who were disappointing to varying degrees in the first half of the season who I expect to be much better in the second half. Call them buy-low candidates, call them breakout candidates, call them whatever you want. I'm picking these four to begin to turn their seasons around, beginning with a big prospect making his way […]
Browns wide receiver Diontae Johnson predicts Kenny Pickett will get first shot as team’s starting QB
The Cleveland Browns have a four-pronged quarterback competition this offseason, complete with a pair of rookies, the backup quarterback of last season's Super Bowl champs and a 40-year-old veteran who already temporarily rescued the franchise once as NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2023.With Deshaun Watson still recovering from the Achilles tear he suffered this past January, the spotlight is on Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders, Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWide receiver Diontae Johnson, a one-time Pro Bowler who signed with the Browns this spring, has a prediction for which quarterback will come out on top this summer."I think they are going to roll with Kenny for right now," Johnson said while appearing on the "Sports and Suits" podcast earlier this month."I've been seeing Kenny going like right now with the ones. Then Joe will come in," Johnson said. "I […]
