Over the past 24 hours, several key developments and analyses have emerged in the realm of fantasy football, particularly as the 2025 NFL season approaches.
### Rookie Sleepers and Dynasty Rankings
One of the most significant discussions revolves around the 2025 NFL rookie class and its potential impact on fantasy football. Experts have highlighted several rookie sleepers who could offer high value despite being drafted later than expected. Jaydon Blue, a fifth-round running back picked by the Dallas Cowboys, is a standout mention. Blue's explosive speed, demonstrated by his 4.38 40-yard dash, and his potential as a pass-catcher in a thin Dallas depth chart make him an attractive late-round pick. With Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders ahead of him, Blue could carve out a significant role early in the season, projecting for 600-800 total yards and 5-7 touchdowns if he secures 100-120 touches[2][4].
### Player ADP and Sleepers
The Average Draft Position (ADP) of various players has also been a topic of discussion. Isaac Guerendo, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, is being drafted surprisingly late, with an ADP of 13.03. Given Christian McCaffrey's extensive injury history and the absence of competition from Jordan Mason and Elijah Mitchell, Guerendo is poised to see ample playing time, making him a sleeper pick[4].
Another sleeper is Tyler Allgeier of the Atlanta Falcons, who has an ADP of 14.10. Allgeier's role could expand significantly if Bijan Robinson is injured, but he also showed utility last season by being used on the goal line in several games, making him a valuable roster addition regardless of Robinson's health[4].
### Player Movements and Retirements
In other news, Derek Carr, a veteran quarterback, announced his retirement on Saturday. Carr had a long career, starting 170 games but never securing a playoff win. This development could have implications for fantasy football teams, especially those considering quarterback depth and potential draft picks[3].
### Expert Rankings and Tiers
Fantasy football experts have also released updated superflex dynasty draft rankings and tiers. These rankings help managers prepare for their upcoming drafts by categorizing players into tiers based on their expected performance and value. These tiers are crucial for making informed decisions during dynasty drafts, especially when considering the long-term potential of rookies like Jaydon Blue[1].
In summary, the past 24 hours have seen a focus on identifying sleeper picks, analyzing rookie potential, and noting significant player movements and retirements. These insights are invaluable for fantasy football managers as they prepare for the 2025 season.
