Rookie draft strategies are evolving as fantasy managers gear up for 2025. Players like Jaydon Blue (Dallas Cowboys), Dylan Sampson (Cleveland Browns), and Emeka Egbuka (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) are capturing attention as potential sleepers. Blue's speed and versatility make him a significant threat in a revamping Dallas backfield, while Sampson's impressive collegiate performance positions him as a possibly undervalued asset in Cleveland's running game. Egbuka, despite a crowded receiving corps in Tampa Bay, offers potential upside due to his skill set and the uncertainty surrounding the team's veteran receivers.

Other notable mentions include Tre Harris (Los Angeles Chargers), who has an opportunity to shine alongside established players, and Kyle Williams (New England Patriots) who could become a favorite target for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. With these rookies, there’s significant potential to find late-round gems that can yield high returns in fantasy leagues this season.
