SportsLine simulated the new NFL season 10,000 times and identified Fantasy football busts 2025 to fade during your Fantasy football draft prep

Welcome to the ninth installment of my 12-part mock draft series, where I'm drafting from every spot — 1 through 12 — in a standard 12-team Yahoo league to break down how draft strategies evolve based on pick position.

With Fields it took small but subtle reminders: 4 of 9 passing for 46 yards with three off-target throws (excluding a screen pass to the wrong shoulder of Garrett Wilson) through two preseason games, and a bunch of quick throws where he made one read or a few times where he missed open targets downfield but opted to keep it short.

One of the best parts of fantasy football, no matter what format you play, is evaluating rookie talent and hoping

The highest-ranked rookie in our 2025 running back rankings is, unsurprisingly, Ashton Jeanty, who is now leading the backfield for the Las Vegas Raiders. With an offense that has gone back-to-back draft classes with an offensive skill player at the helm, Jeanty has a big-time responsibility in helping restart the Raiders' rushing attack.

Jake Ciely explains how fantasy football managers often fail when it comes to filling out their team's bench spots.

No one joins their fantasy football league with hopes of finishing in fifth place. Taking home the title is the goal of every manager, which means that managers need to take chances on high-upside players at several points in their draft.

The second week of preseason action is over, and it's time to see what's changed with the CBS Sports Average Draft Position data, which you can view here. I encourage you to study the ADP because it's a good blueprint for how your draft might go.
