In the aftermath of the 2025 NFL Draft, several key veterans are set to see their roles maintained or even enhanced, especially in a rapidly evolving league landscape. D'Andre Swift of the Chicago Bears is positioned for a career-high in touches after minimal competition was added in the draft, while Calvin Ridley of the Tennessee Titans remains the primary target with no new threats to his position. Additionally, Garrett Wilson of the New York Jets is expected to flourish with less target competition and a new quarterback.

Swift's overall efficiency and workload suggest he could have a solid season, potentially as a high-end RB2 or even higher if he capitalizes on the opportunities presented. Meanwhile, Ridley's chances of maintaining his WR3 status hinge on his ability to connect with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. Wilson's talent and his connection with quarterback Justin Fields could elevate him to WR1 status, providing a promising outlook for fantasy managers.
