The 2025 NFL Draft brings a ton of unpredictability. When players lad with their new teams, it’s always fun to think about the fantasy fit. Heading into the draft, these are ideal landing spots for some of the top skill players from a fantasy perspective.
QB Shedeur Sanders: Browns
If Travis Hunter lands in Cleveland with the No. 2 pick, Shedeur Sanders joining his Colorado teammate would make for a more seamless transition to the NFL. With Nick Chubb (currently a free agent) not in an uncertain running back situation the Browns, a lot is going to be put on the quarterback in Kevin Stefanski’s offense. Shedeur could put up nice Year 1 numbers if he lands here.
QB Jalen Milroe: Steelers
It felt like Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith was very open to utilizing Justin Fields late last season due to his rushing upside compared to Russell Wilson. Jalen Milroe would bring similar rushing potential to Pittsburgh’s attack. The most important thing for the Alabama quarterback is to land someplace that’ll support him by building around his strengths. That probably means a stable franchise, like what happened within the AFC North with Lamar Jackso and the Ravens. The Steelers are undoubtedly a fit in that regard.
RB Ashton Jeanty: Raiders
There are plenty of great spots for Ashton Jeanty, as he figures to be the foundational piece of whichever franchise drafts him (likely high) tomorrow night. The best fit might be with the Raiders, as Pete Carroll’s teams have had success behind running backs throughout his time with the Seahawks—and new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly has led electric run games throughout his college and pro career. Jeanty might immediately be ranked in the top five fantasy running backs with Vegas.
RB Omarion Hampton: Commanders
Omarion Hampton is one of the most intriguing players for Round 1, as he’s widely expected to go relatively early and could go as high as No. 12 to the Cowboys. However, the range is probably wider than most believe. Late in the first round, the Commanders are the best fit in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense. Jayden Daniels’ presence should allow Hampton to break off chunk gains both on the ground and as a receiver.
RB TreVeyon Henderson: Broncos
The Chiefs are another standout spot for TreVeyon Henderson, but the Ohio State running back would potentially be the centerpiece in Sean Payton’s offense, which is looking for multiple “jokers” after adding tight end Evan Engram during free agency. Henderson has drawn some three-down comparisons to Alvin Kamara late in the draft process.
RB Quinshon Judkins: Cowboys
Fellow Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins is a fit for what the Cowboys have wanted to do over the years, and he can help them be a physical team as they look to get back on track. Judkins powers forward for positive yardage to help keep the offense in favorable positions, and he’d especially be a good fit in Dallas if they also add to the offensive line in the draft—perhaps in Round 1.
WR Tetairoa McMillan: Jaguars
Second-year weapon Brian Thomas Jr. is in Jacksonville as a star receiver, but Liam Coen’s offense has more than enough room for Tetairoa McMillan to land there and do plenty of statistical damage alongside him. Stylistically, McMillan is a fit with Trevor Lawrence and would possess immediate double-digit touchdown upside.
WR Matthew Golden: Packers
Wide receiver is not a big need for the Packers, but Matthew Golden can bring more explosiveness to the group with Christian Watson tearing his ACL in January. Golden’s speed would be fun with Matt LaFleur.
WR Emeka Egbuka: Texans
The rookie production might not be huge for Emeka Egbuka with Christian Kirk acquired by the Texans this offseason, but he’d have built-in chemistry with former Buckeye teammate C.J. Stroud in Houston. The upside would likely be capped to some extent with the Texans, but Egbuka would be a great bet to be a steady producer there.
TE Tyler Warren: Colts
While this might not be realistic unless the Colts trade up from No. 14, Tyler Warren can become the top target in Shane Steichen’s offense as a security blanket for Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones. Steichen is a creative playcaller who would scheme Warren opem to do damage with the ball in his hands.
