The landscape of dynasty fantasy football is shifting as the preseason approaches, with July 2025 bringing notable risers and fallers. As expectations climb, rookies like Cam Ward of the Tennessee Titans are poised to make significant impacts, bolstered by their collegiate experience and accolades. His transition to the NFL is expected to be smooth, thanks to an impressive supporting cast, including Tyler Lockett and emerging talents like Elic Ayomanor.

Similarly, Jaydon Blue of the Dallas Cowboys is gaining traction as a potential game-changer in a backfield that is currently not dominating. His speed and dual-threat capability could see him leapfrog veterans if they falter. Meanwhile, Baltimore's Rashod Bateman is set to benefit from increased slot opportunities after the addition of DeAndre Hopkins, having shown flashes of brilliance last season. However, not all news is positive; players like Jonnu Smith are struggling, facing competition that dampens their fantasy appeal.
