QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Bo Nix	513.9	344.3	3545.9	24.92	10.28	85.2	383.4	3.62	281.02
Jarrett Stidham	32.8	20.3	232.9	1.34	1.23	4.6	11.5	0.05	13.67
QB Totals	546.7	364.6	3778.8	26.26	11.51	89.8	394.9	3.67	294.69

Bo Nix: Nix started slowly (didn't throw first touchdown until Week 4), but he was one of the most productive fantasy quarterbacks from Week 5 through the end of the season. During that span, he completed 68.3% of his pass attempts for 3,115 yards, 28 touchdowns and eight interceptions while rushing 69 times for 320 yards and two scores. He was fantasy's QB5 (QB6 on per-game basis) from Week 5-18. The Broncos added Evan Engram in free agency and used a pair of top-75 picks on playmakers — R.J. Harvey (No. 60) and Pat Bryant (No. 74) — in the 2025 NFL Draft. Denver's defense is arguably the best in the NFL, however, which could potentially limit the ceiling of the offense (i.e., fewer shootouts needed).

Jared Goff	542.9	363.7	4071.8	27.15	10.86	32.1	51.4	0.64	258.73
Kyle Allen	28.6	18.2	197.3	1.06	0.86	4.9	11	0.12	12.23
QB Totals	571.5	381.9	4269.1	28.21	11.72	37	62.4	0.76	270.96

Jared Goff: The main concern with Goff is losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, but new offensive coordinator John Morton was a senior offensive assistant when Johnson became OC in 2022. Another concern is the loss of center Frank Ragnow (retirement) and Kevin Zeitler (free agency), but the Lions have a very talented group of pass catchers — Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, etc.. Goff has finished as fantasy's QB10, QB7, and QB6, respectively, over the past three seasons.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Geno Smith	545.4	373.6	3981.4	22.63	12.82	48.1	226.1	1.83	257.73
Aidan O'Connell	23.2	14.6	155.4	0.81	0.44	3.1	6.2	0.09	9.74
Kenny Pickett	11.6	7.2	76.6	0.35	0.23	2.1	5.3	0.06	4.89
QB Totals	580.2	395.4	4213.4	23.79	13.49	53.3	237.6	1.98	272.36

Geno Smith: It's obvious that Smith is an upgrade over the trio of Aidan O'Connell, Gardner Minshew and Desmond Ridder, all of whom made starts in 2024, and a more competent passing attack with benefit Brock Bowers, Jakobi Meyers, and the team's pass catchers. While Smith's best fantasy season (2022, QB5 — eighth on a PPG basis) was his first in Seattle with Pete Carroll, he's been a mid-tier QB2 (or worse) the past two seasons. Less useful in single-QB redraft formats, Smith has upside in two-QB or super flex and best ball formats.

New Orleans Saints 2025 Fantasy Football Projections

Our 2025 fantasy football projections below are for the New Orleans Saints.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Spencer Rattler	344.8	210.3	2379.1	12.76	7.24	38.2	191	1.53	160

QB Totals	574.6	352.8	3976.2	21.49	12.41	68.6	312.6	2.75	267.94

Spencer Rattler: Kellen Moore has named Rattler the starter for Week 1. It's unlikely that he maintains that role for the full season, especially given that the Saints used a top-40 pick on Tyler Shough and will likely be in the mix for one of the top quarterbacks in 2026. (In fact, I have them drafting one early in my 2026 NFL Mock Draft.) Rattler is only relevant in 2-QB and Super Flex formats (as are all starting quarterbacks).

Tyler Shough: As noted with Rattler, Shough will start the year as the backup and should have an opportunity to make starts, but both quarterbacks are off the fantasy radar in standard single-QB leagues.

2025 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team Half-PPR Mock (12th Pick)

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.

> Our 2025 mocks will be centralized here: Fantasy Football Mock Drafts.

That said, nothing beats practicing yourself so (check out the simulator) and complete a mock in a matter of minutes.

Half-PPR Mock Draft: 12 Teams, 12th Pick

Starting positions: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, 1 DST; Bench spots: 6

1.12 - Derrick Henry, RB, Baltimore Ravens

Father Time may be undefeated, but Henry carried the ball 325 times for 1,921 yards, the second-best (by far) of his career, and a league-high 16 touchdowns in his age-30 season. In addition, he averaged a career-best 5.9 YPC — a half-yard more than his previous high. Yes, his receiving volume was (and will continue to be) low, but Lamar Jackson limits opposing defenses from being able to stack the box to slow him down. Henry was top four across all scoring formats (including full PPR).

2.01 - Nico Collins, WR, Houston Texans

Collins has missed seven games over the past two seasons, but the now 26-year-old receiver has averaged 85.3 YPG (fifth best), 15.6 Y/R (eighth) and scored a total of 15 touchdowns (tied, 10th) over that span (among wide receivers with at least 100 targets). He has finished among the top three wide receivers in PFF's Y/RR metric in each of the past two seasons — 3.11 (second) in 2023 and 2.87 (third) in 2024, respectively. If Collins can stay healthy for a full season, the emerging superstar could truly make a jump into the top tier of fantasy receivers in 2025.

MORE: 2026 Houston Texans Mock Draft Roundup

3.12 - Davante Adams, WR, Los Angeles Rams

Adams, who was traded midseason from the Raiders to the Jets, still managed to extend his streak of 1,000-yard, eight-TD seasons to five. Even though he turns 33 on Christmas Eve and won't dominate targets the way he had at previous stops, he should have (or come close to having) another 1,000/8 season. Adams is the WR13 in my rankings, and he has plenty of contingent upside if Puka Nacua were to miss any time.

4.01 - George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers

Garrett Wilson is ranked higher than Kittle in my top 200 fantasy football cheat sheet, but this mock starts two receivers so I pivoted from what would have been my pick with a three-WR starting lineup. While he's not in the same tier as Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, Kittle is one of three elite tight ends that are heads and shoulders above the rest of the position. Kittle finished 2024 with 78 receptions for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns, all of which rank either second or third in his career. Injuries to Brandon Aiyuk and Christian McCaffrey led to greater consistency from Kittle — 40-plus receiving yards in 13 of 15 games played. (Only Bowers had more — 14 of 17 games.)

Dallas Cowboys 2025 Fantasy Football Projections

Our 2025 fantasy football projections below are for the Dallas Cowboys.

Projected fantasy points are based on half-PPR scoring.

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Dak Prescott	575	384.1	4283.8	28.18	12.08	50	195	1.55	288.71
Joe Milton III	40	26	284	1.52	0.8	4.4	11	0.22	18.26
QB Totals	615	410.1	4567.8	29.7	12.88	54.4	206	1.77	306.97

Dak Prescott: Prescott played only eight games in 2024 and has now missed five-plus games in three of the past five seasons. Prescott went from finishing as the QB3 in 2023 to the QB21 last season in fantasy points per game. It's clear that the trade for George Pickens will make a significant impact to the offense, and his skill set is an ideal complement opposite CeeDee Lamb. Describing himself as "a chill guy" who is "staying humble," Pickens is entering the final year of his rookie contract and should be motivated to show the best version of himself in 2025.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Geno Smith	538.3	366	4010.3	27.45	10.23	65.6	305	1.8	291.05
Drew Lock	34.4	20.5	239.1	1.34	0.88	5.6	19.6	0.11	15.78

Geno Smith: Vastly outperforming his 2022 ADP, Smith led the NFL in completion percentage (69.8%) while throwing for 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. A repeat top-five fantasy finish may be unlikely, but Smith is a viable QB1 type, especially with the Seahawks drafting Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round to complement their dynamic duo of D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. So, in other words, he's undervalued compared his ADP once again.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Kenneth Walker III	201	884.4	6.73	32.7	233.7	1.3	176.34

DeeJay Dallas	15.6	67.9	0.39	9.5	65.9	0.3	22.27
Kenny McIntosh	11.1	47.7	0.27	5.4	38.2	0.2	14.11

Kenneth Walker III: Walker rushed for 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns on 228 carries as a rookie. Expectations shot up following (Rashaad Penny's departure in) NFL free agency, but the Seahawks drafting a talented complement (Zach Charbonnet) in the second round should temper expectations. Walker finished 2022 as fantasy's RB16 in half-PPR scoring, and a similar level of production is most likely in 2023. Walker had been dealing with a groin injury, but he's returned to practicing in full.

Zach Charbonnet: The second-round pick was highly productive for the UCLA Bruins, and he has the skill set to be a foundation back. Unfortunately, Seattle is not an ideal landing spot for his 2023 fantasy outlook with Charbonnet expected to operate as the 1B to Walker's 1A in Seattle's ground attack. Given how much Pete Carroll would prefer to run the ball, however, there is a chance that he could approach stand-alone flex-level value even if Walker stays healthy for a full season.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
D.K. Metcalf	78.3	1053.9	7.1	0	0	0	187.14
Tyler Lockett	80.4	956.1	6.6	0	0	0	175.41
Jaxon Smith-Njigba	65.5	771.3	5.3	0	0	0	141.68

Dee Eskridge	1.9	17	0.1	0	0	0	3.25
Ra'Shaun Henry	1	10.6	0.1	0	0	0	2.16

D.K. Metcalf: Metcalf has a minimum of 900 receiving yards in all four of his NFL seasons. While he finished with only six touchdowns (despite ranking third in the NFL in red zone targets) last season, he had a combined 22 scores in the previous two seasons and he set career highs in targets (141) and receptions (90) in 2022.

Tyler Lockett: Lockett has exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in four consecutive seasons, and he has scored eight or more touchdowns in five consecutive seasons. Consistently outperforming his preseason ADP, Lockett has finished as fantasy's WR13 (2022), WR13 (2021), WR9 (2020), WR14 (2019) and WR15 (2018), respectively. While the team drafted Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round, it's likely that Lockett continues to exceed expectations.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba: While he lacks elite straight-line speed, Smith-Njigba posted combine-best performances in both the 3-cone (6.57 seconds) and 20-yard shuttle (3.93), and he's a polished route runner with outstanding ball skills and body control. He set the Big Ten receiving record in 2021 (1,606 yards) while playing alongside Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, and ESPN's Dan Graziano has referred to him as a "legitimate sleeper candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year." After undergoing wrist surgery, JSN returned to practice sooner than expected and now seems likely for Week 1.

Noah Fant: In his first season as a Seahawk, Fant finished the year with 50 catches for 486 yards and four touchdowns. It was his third-consecutive season with 50-plus catches and he tied a career high in touchdowns, but he set career lows in yards and yards per reception (9.7). Adding first-round rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba could make it challenging for Fant and the team's tight ends to have fantasy-viable production.

D.K. Metcalf: Metcalf has a minimum of 900 receiving yards in all four of his NFL seasons. While he finished with only six touchdowns last season, he had a combined 22 scores in the previous two seasons and he set career highs in targets (141) and receptions (90) in 2022.

Tyler Lockett: Lockett has exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in four consecutive seasons, and he has scored eight or more touchdowns in five consecutive seasons. Consistently outperforming his preseason ADP, Lockett has finished as fantasy's WR13 (2022), WR13 (2021), WR9 (2020), WR14 (2019) and WR15 (2018), respectively. While the team drafted Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round, it's likely that Lockett continues to exceed expectations.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Smith-Njigba lacks elite top-end speed, but he posted combine-best performances in both the 3-cone (6.57 seconds) and 20-yard shuttle (3.93). He's a polished route runner with outstanding ball skills and body control. A nagging hamstring injury forced him to miss nearly all of 2022, but he set the Big Ten receiving record with 1,606 yards in 2021. Even though he was the first receiver selected in the draft, finishing third on the team in targets behind Metcalf and Lockett will likely limit his fantasy upside in 2023.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Noah Fant	41.1	415.7	3	0	0	0	80.12
Will Dissly	29	296.3	2.2	0	0	0	57.33
Colby Parkinson	9	92.6	0.7	0	0	0	17.96
Tyler Mabry	2.3	22.6	0.2	0	0	0	4.61

Noah Fant: In his first season as a Seahawk, Fant finished the year with 50 catches for 486 yards and four touchdowns. It was his third-consecutive season with 50-plus catches and tied a career high in touchdowns, but he set career lows in yards and yards per reception (9.7). Adding first-round rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba could make it challenging for Fant and the team's tight ends to have fantasy-viable production.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Geno Smith	287.7	184.1	2071.4	12.08	6.19	24.6	108.2	1.23	137
Drew Lock	265.6	162	1899	10.89	6.24	23.3	97.9	1.17	123.85

Geno Smith: After trading away Russell Wilson, who will be Seattle's starter in 2022: Drew Lock or Geno Smith? Given his familiarity with the organization and coaching staff and that he's been handling the majority of first-team reps, Smith is the favorite to enter the season as the starter. That said, it's highly likely that both quarterbacks make starts throughout the season.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Rashaad Penny	170.5	792.8	5.97	29.1	240.2	1.2	160.87
Kenneth Walker III	156.1	686.8	4.84	11.2	83.4	0.4	114.06
DeeJay Dallas	17.1	71	0.51	19	148.9	0.7	38.75
Travis Homer	15	66	0.34	9.9	71.5	0.3	22.54

Rashaad Penny: Penny was a surprise first-round pick in 2018. Partly due to his durability issues, the former San Diego State Aztec has only 280 rush attempts over four seasons. Despite the limited workload, Penny has been productive and efficient with 1,580 rushing yards (5.6 YPC) and 11 touchdowns on those 280 carries. Fantasy managers got a glimpse of how productive a healthy Penny can be down the stretch last season. Over the final five weeks of 2021, Penny posted a 92/671/6 (7.3 YPC) rushing line and led all running backs in fantasy points (half-PPR) per game (21.54). In addition, Penny has eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark in six of seven career games with at least 12 carries.

Kenneth Walker III: Walker has enormous upside ... in 2023. The former Spartan (and Demon Deacon) has been used sparingly in college as a receiver, but he's arguably the best pure rusher in the 2022 draft class given his powerful compact frame, contact balance and ability to break tackles. Walker would be catapulted into heavy workloads if Penny is unable to stay healthy.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
D.K. Metcalf	73.2	1002.5	6	1	5.7	0.05	173.72
Tyler Lockett	73.7	921.1	5.5	1.9	12.4	0.11	163.86
D'Wayne Eskridge	27	321.6	1.9	4.2	31.5	0.21	61.47
Freddie Swain	17.1	208.4	1.2	3.1	19.8	0.16	39.53
Bo Melton	4.7	61.5	0.4	0	0	0	10.9
Cody Thompson	3.6	47.6	0.3	0	0	0	8.36

D.K. Metcalf: The obvious concern with Metcalf (and the passing game overall) is that Russell Wilson is now in Denver. Still only 24 years old, the physically-imposing wideout enters his fourth season with three consecutive 900-yard campaigns. While his yards per reception (12.9) and yards per target (7.5) were both career lows, he set a career high with 12 touchdowns and has now scored double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.

Tyler Lockett: Including his rushing yardage, Lockett has exceeded the 1,000-yard mark and scored at least eight touchdowns in four consecutive seasons. Given the team's run-first philosophy, there has been some up-and-down weekly output from Lockett despite his full-season consistency even with Russell Wilson under center. Add in the QB downgrade(s) with Drew Lock and Geno Smith, it's likely that we see more week-to-week volatility from Lockett.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Noah Fant	48.3	551.9	3.2	0	0	0	98.54
Will Dissly	20.6	222.3	1.2	0	0	0	39.73
Colby Parkinson	8.7	89.3	0.5	0	0	0	16.28

Noah Fant: Fant's 2021 numbers (68/670/4) were nearly identical to his 2020 production (62/673/3). While Drew Lock moves to Seattle with him, Fant will be no better than third in line for targets behind D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
