Calvin Ridley presents the clearest WR1 upside among Ridley, Moore, and Meyers in 2025, thanks to a quarterback upgrade in Tennessee and minimal target competition. D.J. Moore remains a high-floor option in Chicago, but the crowded Bears’ pass game introduces more risk and a potentially lower ceiling. Jakobi Meyers of Las Vegas enters the season with solid baseline production, yet the Raiders’ passing game is likely to be more balanced, capping upside. The piece argues Ridley in mid-rounds is the best-value pick of the trio, with Moore and Meyers offering steadier floors but thinner ceilings given surrounding talent and coaching changes.

Ward’s arrival in Tennessee elevates Ridley’s outlook, while Chicago’s new staff could reshape Moore’s role, and Las Vegas’ offense under Chip Kelly/Carroll could dampen Meyers’ ceiling behind Brock Bowers and a stronger run game. In short, Ridley is the bet for value and potential WR1 upside, Moore is a safer WR2 with some fade risk, and Meyers is a solid WR3/flex option with a more modest ceiling in 2025.

Las Vegas used the No. 58 pick in the 2025 NFL draft to add Jack Bech, a physical, versatile receiver whose contact-catch ability and willingness to block align with the Raiders’ tough, run-first identity. Bech is shaping into the team’s WR3 behind Jakobi Meyers, with Tre Tucker slotted opposite Meyers and Dont'e Thornton Jr. pressing for snaps. Bech’s early path includes a reliable role in offense and a potential specialty in traffic-filled catches, a value-add for a Raiders unit looking to maximize play-action and contested throws.

Bech already earned praise from Geno Smith for his toughness and reported productive moments during practice, including a contested catch off play-action. His high-motor, every-down approach at TCU translated to the NFL expectations, and the Raiders are leveraging his run-blocking and pass-catching ability to exploit mismatches in the middle of field. If he can sustain that pace, Bech could climb the depth chart and become a meaningful fantasy option in deeper leagues, especially in formats valuing slot targets and red-zone touches.

Collin Johnson is pushing for a Raiders roster spot, leaning on size, contested catches, and a strong special-teams game to separate himself in a crowded WR room. Las Vegas has four roster locks at receiver—Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton Jr., and Jack Bech—and Johnson is contending for the final one or two spots, a battle that training camp has intensified.

Johnson’s path is shaped by a difficult injury history and a resilient return. A torn Achilles with the Giants in 2022 stalled his momentum, but he battled back in 2023 with Chicago and remains a big-bodied, reliable option who can win 50/50 looks when a defense is in good position. His preseason showing against Seattle—two catches for 17 yards—plus standout special-teams work underline his value as a backend roster piece, not just a size-on-the-field story.

The Raiders’ competition plan makes Johnson a plausible 53-man candidate if he continues to contribute on coverage units and can translate his contested-catch ability into meaningful targets in offense. For fantasy, he’s a deep-league stash at best—likely a boom/bust depth option whose upside hinges on injuries to the top five WRs and special-teams-driven roster security.

Dak Prescott headlines a late-round value chase for 2025, with health gating the upside: when he plays 16 games he’s averaged top-8 territory the past few seasons. Justin Fields of the Jets sits around ADP 104, offering a high rushing ceiling and proven rushing totals to spike fantasy floors. J.K. Dobbins lands in a run-first Broncos attack at ADP 112, set as a ground-and-goal-line back with TD upside. Jakobi Meyers, Ricky Pearsall, and Evan Engram complete a compact, high-upside trio of WR/TE targets: Meyers in LV, Pearsall in SF, Engram in Denver. The piece argues for chasing these name-brand floor/ceiling players in the double-digit rounds to elevate rosters. It notes the offense context for each target and flags the importance of staying healthy and monitoring training-camp buzz to exploit value as ADP moves.
