|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Penix Jr. | 535 | 342.4 | 3959 | 22.2 | 14.98 | 43.2 | 162 | 2.16 | 246.36 |
| Kirk Cousins | 34.1 | 22.8 | 248.9 | 1.53 | 0.85 | 3.6 | 10.8 | 0.21 | 16.72 |
| QB Totals | 569.1 | 365.2 | 4207.9 | 23.73 | 15.83 | 46.8 | 172.8 | 2.37 | 263.08 |
Michael Penix Jr.: Drafting Penix eighth overall only a month after signing Kirk Cousins to a massive 2024 free-agent deal was a head-scratcher (because of the investment already made in Cousins, of course). But Penix showed promise in his brief stint as a starter over the final three weeks including a three-TD performance in the finale, and a full offseason with a singular focus on getting ready as the starter could boost his chances for a 2025 breakout.

| Cam Ward | 506.3 | 318 | 3594.7 | 20 | 12.15 | 58.2 | 261.9 | 2.18 | 238.76 |

Cam Ward: It's not often that quarterbacks selected first overall in the draft fly under the radar, but that's certainly the case with Ward. It would be reasonable to expect ups and downs, but he has consistently met or exceeded expectations throughout his collegiate career. Ward has the live arm, gunslinger mentality and mobility that could allow him to outperform both his ADP and my current ranking.

2025 Fantasy Football Mock Drafts
The best way to become good at something is to practice. So, what should you do if you want to draft a better fantasy football team?
Practice, of course!
Leading up to the start of the 2025 NFL season, we will use the fantasy football mock draft simulator to complete fantasy football mock drafts. And we will do so using a variety of scoring formats — point per reception (PPR), half-PPR, standard scoring and even 2-QB leagues — and league sizes. The goal is to provide you with a good representation of the team that you may be able to draft given your league settings while also providing the rationale of why we made the picks we did.
That said, nothing beats practicing yourself so (check out the simulator) and complete a mock in a matter of minutes.
2025 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team Half-PPR Mock (1st Pick)
Starting positions: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, 1 DST; Bench spots: 6

Especially in a format that starts three receivers (like this one), Chase is the easy click at 1.01. Posting career highs in his age-24 season, Chase led the NFL in receptions (127), yards (1,708) and touchdowns (17) in 2024 to become the fifth triple crown winner since the league merger. Chase had at least five catches and/or 50 yards in all but one game in 2024, but he also had several monster games. There were nine 35-point wide receiver performances league-wide in 2024, and Chase had three (one-third) of them.
2.12 - Ladd McConkey, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
McConkey finished as a top-12 fantasy wide receiver (the WR16 on per-game basis among those who played at least eight games) in 2024 and he was especially productive from Week 8 on. Over his final 11 games including the team's playoff loss, he racked up 67 catches for 1,082 yards and six touchdowns on 87 targets.
3.01 - Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati Bengals
After Zack Moss was injured, Brown handled 189 touches (23.6/G) over his final eight games. During that eight-game stretch, Brown was top five in fantasy points (both overall and PPG). Bringing back Samaje Perine, who was a Bengal from 2019-2022, waiting until the sixth round to draft a running back (Tahj Brooks) and releasing Moss all bode well for Brown's grip on a workhorse role and outlook.

4.12 - DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
Smith missed four games in 2024 and while his numbers were down year over year, his per-game averages of 5.2 catches and 64.1 yards were very similar to the averages of his first three seasons (4.8/63.6). Smith finished the year as the WR17 on a per-game basis, and he should continue to be viewed as a mid-tier WR2 in fantasy.
