5 fantasy football fallers after 2025 NFL Draft

#5 - Chris Godwin

Chris Godwin has been consistently reliable in fantasy football during his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he will be an extremely risky pick this year. The franchise surprisingly used their first-round pick to select Emeka Egbuka, who should challenge for a starting role in their offense. Add in Jalen McMillan breaking out last year and Godwin's workload is in serious jeopardy.

#4 - Najee Harris

Najee Harris seemed to have landed in an ideal situation during the 2025 NFL free agency period when he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers. They are a run-heavy offense and have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, while also moving on from JK Dobbins this year. Harris' intriguing upside plummeted when the Chargers added elite prospect Omarion Hampton in the first round.

#3 - Rhamondre Stevenson

Rhamondre Stevenson was widely considered to be a bounce-back candidate for the New England Patriots after a disappointing fantasy football season last year. This no longer appears to be realistic after they selected TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Stevenson may now serve in a shared backfield or could be outright surpassed as the starter.

#2 - Jayden Reed

Jayden Reed has been the best of the Green Bay Packers' wide receivers to target in fantasy football over the past two years. While this could potentially still be the case, his outlook took a major hit during the draft. The Packers selected top prospect Matthew Golden and also picked Savion Williams, so Reed has much more target competition in an already crowded offense.

#1 - Jaylen Warren

Jaylen Warren saw his fantasy football value significantly rise after the Pittsburgh Steelers moved on from Najee Harris during the offseason. This suggested that Warren would get a crack at being their featured running back, but his upside took a major hit after the draft. The Steelers selected one of the top prospects in Kaleb Johnson, who will theoretically fill Harris' previous role.
