SportsLine's 2025 Fantasy football draft guide includes Fantasy football auction values, keeper advice, mock drafts and more

According to Yates and his co-hosts Daniel Dopp and Mike Clay, Henderson is already shooting up draft boards, into the top 50 selections of ESPN fantasy drafts. Entering the year, his projected numbers sit at just over 220 carries, 992 rushing yards, and six rushing touchdowns.

Ekeler is still one of the best pass-catching backs in the NFL. He ranked first in yards per target and yards per reception among RBs with 40+ targets last year. Kliff Kingsbury is an expert at utilizing pass-catching backs in his offense, so Ekeler is a very good borderline RB4/RB5 in half- and full-PPR leagues.

Croskey-Merrit in the Commanders’ preseason opener against the Patriots had 24 yards on seven rushes and caught his lone target for eight yards. His playing time suggests he has a way to go before he’s challenging Robinson for the RB1 role. That’s the way it goes for rookies though.
