Nathan Harvey’s 2025 bust list focuses on red flags that could derail early fantasy rosters. Puka Nacua faces a crowded ceiling in Los Angeles with Davante Adams and an aging Matthew Stafford limiting TD upside. Patrick Mahomes could see a dip as the Chiefs balance game management with volume shifts. Breece Hall’s lofty ceiling looks capped by competition for red-zone touches and a Jets offense likely to struggle. Tee Higgins and Jaylen Waddle carry regression risk tied to TD rates and scheme changes, making them risky early picks.

Against the grain, the piece nudges managers toward safer anchors and value targets later in drafts. It spotlights Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy as KC pass-catch options to monitor, while stressing context—injury risk, quarterback health, and offensive pace—to separate solid fantasy floors from flashy but fragile upside. The takeaway: draft smarter by weighing opportunity against volatility.

The overarching theme: avoid obvious landmines, diversify early, and lean on players with clearer, repeatable paths to steady production in 2025.

LA Rams chase another NFC title as the conference reloads talent across the league. Green Bay lands Micah Parsons, with two first‑round picks and Kenny Clark headed to Dallas to seal the deal, instantly reshaping the division. Jared Verse and Kobie Turner rise as key pieces for LA’s defense while Puka Nacua looms as a contract target, giving the Rams youth and star upside.

Across the NFC, McVay’s old rival Matt LaFleur returns fire, pairing Parsons with Jordan Love’s development as the Packers aim to reclaim the North. If Green Bay trips to Lambeau in a playoff setting, the Rams’ path through snow‑prone Green Bay becomes a defining subplot of the season.

Alaric Jackson returns next Monday in full capacity, stabilizing the Rams' offensive line as Rivers, Schrader, and Xavier Smith push depth across WR and RB rooms. LaFleur highlighted the value of these players, with four NFL-caliber tight ends in the mix and Xavier Smith stepping up as a versatile playmaker. The Rams aim to assemble the pieces and execute football the right way, building a multi-formation attack led by a hungry coaching staff.
