Fantasy Football 2025: 10 biggest reactions to NFL preseason Week 1

Rookie RJ Harvey led the Denver backfield in the showcased action, handling all first-team carries on early downs while J.K. Dobbins operated as the primary third-down option. The split hints at a potential feature role for Harvey in Week 1 if the pattern holds, boosting his weekly floor for fantasy managers. Across the league, multiple backfields offered early-down dominance by single backs, with Harvey among the clearest signals of a week-to-week workload that translates to fantasy opportunity.

Travis Hunter took 100% of 11-personnel snaps with the Jaguars’ first-team offense, thriving as both receiver and occasional slot option, while the Jets rotated Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis in a way that could widen Hall’s early-down role. Jacory Croskey-Merritt emerged as a potential Washington Robinson backup, while TreV Henderson’s early usage with the Patriots suggested a path to meaningful third-down snaps and fantasy relevance. Marvin Mims Jr. flashed as a starter in Denver’s WR corps, and Zay Jones, Michael Wilson, and Marvin Harrison Jr. formed a trio of Cardinals receivers with heavy on-field time in 11 and 12 personnel; Wilson and Harrison Jr. look like weekly options, with Jones offering upside when Jones and Dortch split out wide.

Which single preseason usage pattern most strongly signals fantasy value for Harvey, Hunter, or Henderson as the season begins?With Hunter’s dual WR/CB usage, should fantasy players treat him as a high-ceiling flex or a steady WR3?Which backfield rotations in preseason most reliably forecast regular-season fantasy value?Which Cardinals WRs stand to gain the most if 11-personnel remains the baseline?
