Rookie Terrance Ferguson has a chance to make an immediate contribution to the Rams, who took him in the second round of the draft. A terrific athlete who posted a Relative Athletic Score of 9.30, Ferguson has more than 40 catches in each of his last two college seasons at Oregon. Playing in Sean McVay's offense and catching passes from Matthew Stafford has its perks, but there might not be much target spillover for Ferguson with WRs Puka Nacua and Davante Adams around.
Following the best season if his career in 2023, David Njoku missed six games in 2024 with ankle hamstring and knee injuries, and his efficiency plummeted. Njoku finished with 64-505-5 in 11 games last season. He averaged a career-low 7.9 yards per catch and only 5.2 yards per target. But with the right quarterback, Njoku can be a fantasy force. In games he played with QB Jameis Winston last year, Njoku averaged 10.3 targets a game and scored five TDs over a seven-game stretch. He was TE4 in PPR fantasy points per game (16.4) over that period. The Browns' QB situation looks messy for 2025, but one of the candidates to make starts at quarterback is Joe Flacco, who really clicked with Njoku when they played together in Cleveland in 2023. When Flacco made five late-season starts for the Browns that year, Njoku had 30-390-4 and was TE2 in PPR fantasy points per game (18.2) over that span. Njoku could be a value in 2025 fantasy drafts entering his age-29 season, but his fortunes are tied to the Cleveland quarterbacks, which isn't exactly reassuring.
We recommend targeting McBride somewhere between 20th and 35th overall depending on scoring format, and we also recommend considering Brock Bowers ahead of him, especially in leagues that are not full-PPR. In 2025, McBride dominated the field at his position with 126 catches for over 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns on 169 targets, but all of those numbers were a byproduct of Arizona's offense constantly in catch-up mode. Thing is, there's a realistic chance they'll still be in catch-up mode this season considering the state of their defense and their challenging schedule, and McBride is their best short-area receiving option (and maybe their best receiving option, period). Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has a long-standing tendency of leaning on his tight end, and rookie QB Carson Beck didn't embarrass himself in preseason play and should at least know to get McBride the ball when he does play. New coach and playcaller Mike LaFleur has mentioned multiple times how unique and important McBride is to the Cardinals offense, so while his target volume will decline from 2025, he should still be among the leaders at the position in receptions and touchdowns. That should be enough to feel good about walking the aisle for McBride.
Kittle is coming off an Achilles injury that he suffered in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs in January. The team put him on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp, but he has indicated that he won't begin the season on said list and even has a chance to play Week 1 in Australia. That makes him likely for most of the season, but how effective he'll be remains to be seen. Hence why you'll draft him closer to Round 8 than Round 4. The hope is Kittle will produce at a high level by the middle of the season and peak just in time for the Fantasy playoffs. When healthy, Kittle is among the best players at his position, averaging 14.7 PPR points per game in 2025 -- the sixth time in his nine-year career that he's averaged at least 14.1 PPR points per game. If you draft Kittle, then it's a good idea to pair him with a second tight end on your Fantasy roster -- maybe San Francisco backup tight end Jake Tonges -- just in case Kittle isn't quite ready to play a normal snap share right away.
Henry's 10.5 PPR point average in 2025 was his highest since arriving in New England in 2021. That was thanks to his seven touchdowns and a career-high 768 yards. This was the byproduct of Josh McDaniels' offense combined with a lack of star power at wide receiver. Things won't stay that way in New England as the Pats added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, rendering Henry a lower target option. The matchup against the Seahawks in Week 1 isn't particularly favorable (it wasn't in the Super Bowl), meaning you might not even keep Henry on your roster if you draft him. The odds of him repeating his Fantasy glory from 2025 seem low.
