Our Dynasty Deluxe package includes complete Dynasty Rankings, Rookie Rankings, Trade Analyzer, Draft Planner, Mock Drafts, and more. Check it out! Below, Aaron St. Denis discusses Dynasty Rookie Rankings: Dream Landing Spots for fantasy football in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Before we get into it, I should add one disclaimer. These landing spots are ones that I think are best for the player’s fantasy value and are within the realm of possibility. There are situations where a player like Cam Ward is expected to go first overall to the Titans, but for the sake of fantasy value, I have him going several picks later to a better fit. Keep in mind that the article is called Dream Dynasty Landing Spots for a reason. it may not come to fruition, but it’s fun to think about.
Dream Dynasty Landing Spots for Incoming 2024 Rookies (That Could Happen)
Shedeur Sanders Drafted No. 3 Overall by the New York Giants
Sanders’ 2024 stats (3,926 yards, 35 TDs, 8 INTs) highlight his pocket presence and accuracy, making him a perfect fit for the Giants, who pick 3rd and need a long-term QB post-Daniel Jones. Sanders’s ability to deliver in clutch moments suits Brian Daboll’s system, where he’d start immediately, throwing to Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson while developing behind a hopefully improved offensive line. In dynasty, Sanders’ limited rushing caps his ceiling. Still, his passing volume (potentially 4,000 yards as a rookie) projects him as a mid-tier QB1 with top-10 potential by year two, especially with Nabers as a high-volume target.
Cam Ward Drafted No. 6 Overall by the Las Vegas Raiders
Ward’s 2024 season at Miami showcased his dual-threat ability, making him a great fit for the Raiders, who hold the 6th pick and desperately need a franchise QB after cycling through stopgaps like Gardner Minshew. Ward’s mobility and deep-ball accuracy align with the Raiders’ need for a dynamic playmaker, where he’d start immediately, utilizing weapons like Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers while developing in a high-volume passing offense.
In dynasty, Ward’s rushing upside (400+ college yards) and passing potential make him a top-5 QB prospect, likely starting as a low-end QB1 with 3,800 passing yards and 300 rushing yards as a rookie, with top-10 potential by year two. Sanders being the first quarterback off the board would shock the world, but as far as long-term value is concerned, Ward is better off falling a few picks to a better situation. Bowers alone is a far better offensive weapon than anything he would have if he goes first overall to Tennessee.
Travis Hunter Drafted No. 7 Overall by the New York Jets
Hunter’s two-way brilliance makes it uncertain what position he will play in the NFL, and the Jets, picking 7th, need a true WR2 to complement Garrett Wilson for Justin Fields. Hunter’s speed, ball skills, and versatility fit Todd Downing’s offense, where he’d start as the X-receiver, stretching the field and seeing 7-9 targets per game. In dynasty, Hunter’s high draft slot and target share in an improved offense project him as a WR2 with top-10 upside as a rookie, potentially posting 90 catches, 1,200 yards, and 8 TDs in PPR formats, making him a top-5 dynasty WR pick.
Do we even need to get into the potential impact he would have on the Jets’ defense? A secondary that has both Sauce Gardner and Travis Hunter would be lethal. This landing spot is insane if you play in an IDP league that will allow him to accumulate points on both sides of the ball.
Travis Hunter WR only highlights for your timeline🔥

Ashton Jeanty Drafted No. 12 Overall by the Dallas Cowboys
Jeanty’s 2024 dominance (2,497 rushing yards, 29 TDs) and three-down skillset (39 receptions) make him a great pick for the Cowboys, who pick 12th and need a workhorse back after relying on Rico Dowdle. Jeanty’s vision, contact balance, and pass-catching ability suit the Cowboys’ offense, where he’d handle 15-20 carries and 3-5 targets per game, taking pressure off Dak Prescott. In dynasty, Jeanty’s workload in a high-scoring offense makes him a top-5 RB prospect with RB1 potential, likely posting 1,500 scrimmage yards as a rookie, though his smaller frame raises slight durability concerns for long-term value.
Tyler Warren Drafted No. 17 Overall by the Cincinnati Bengals
Warren’s production and massive frame make him a red-zone threat, fitting the Bengals, who pick 17th and need a long-term TE with Mike Gesicki aging. Warren’s blocking and receiving skills suit Zac Taylor’s two TE sets, where he’d start as a TE2 before taking over as the primary option, benefiting from Joe Burrow‘s precision and seeing 4-6 targets per game. In dynasty, Warren’s role in a pass-heavy offense gives him TE1 upside by year two, likely starting as a TE15 -20 with 40-50 catches and 5 TDs as a rookie if Gesicki remains.
Colston Loveland Drafted No. 18 Overall by the Seattle Seahawks
Loveland’s championship pedigree and polished route-running make him an excellent fit for the Seahawks, who pick 18th and need a reliable TE to complement Noah Fant in their passing game. Loveland’s versatility suits Seattle’s offense, where he’d play as a move TE, seeing 5-7 targets per game with Sam Darnold at QB while contributing as a blocker in their balanced scheme.
In dynasty, Loveland’s role in a pass-friendly system gives him TE1 upside by year two, starting as a TE10 -12 with 60 catches, 700 yards, and 6 TDs as a rookie, making him a top-5 dynasty TE prospect. The recent exodus of Seahawk’s offensive weapons leaves him in a prime spot to carve out a large role early on.
Jaxson Dart Drafted No. 21 Overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers
Dart’s showcased his dual-threat ability in college and would be a great fit for the Steelers, who pick 21st and will certainly look to upgrade at QB with Skylar Thompson and Mason Rudolph on their quarterback depth chart. Dart’s mobility and play-action proficiency suit Mike Tomlin’s system, where he’d be the likely Week One starter, utilizing D.K. Metcalf and George Pickens while adding 400-500 rushing yards. In dynasty, Dart’s late first-round slot means he will get multiple opportunities to prove himself, and his dual-threat nature projects him as a QB2 with QB1 upside by year two, potentially posting 3,000 passing yards and 400 rushing yards if he starts as a rookie.
Tetairoa McMillan Drafted No. 22 Overall by the Los Angeles Chargers
McMillan’s college physicality and size make him a contested-catch specialist, fitting the Chargers, who pick 22nd and need an X-receiver for Justin Herbert after losing Keenan Allen last off-season. McMillan’s ability to win jump balls suits Jim Harbaugh’s play-action scheme, where he’d start immediately, complementing Ladd McConkey and seeing 6-8 targets per game. In dynasty, McMillan’s target potential with Herbert projects him as a WR2 with WR1 upside by year two, likely posting 80 catches, 1,100 yards, and 8 TDs as a rookie in standard formats.
Luther Burden Drafted No. 30 Overall by the Buffalo Bills
Burden’s compact frame makes him a YAC specialist, fitting the Bills, who pick 30th and need a WR2 for Josh Allen after losing Stefon Diggs last year. Burden’s quickness and toughness suit Joe Brady’s system, where he’d play in the slot, seeing 6-8 targets per game while adding gadget-play value alongside Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid. In dynasty, Burden’s late first-round slot in a high-powered offense projects him as a WR3 with WR2 upside by year two, likely posting 80 catches, 900 yards, and 6 TDs as a rookie in PPR formats, making him a valuable mid-round dynasty pick.
Matthew Golden Drafted No. 31 Overall by the Kansas City Chiefs
Golden, an impressive speedster with strong YAC ability, fits the Chiefs, who pick 31st and need a reliable WR2 alongside the inconsistent Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice, who misses many games due to injury or suspension. Golden’s quickness and route-running would thrive in Andy Reid’s system, where he’d play in the slot or as a Z-receiver, seeing 5-7 targets per game with Patrick Mahomes. In dynasty, Golden’s role in a high-powered offense projects him as a WR3 with WR2 upside by year two, potentially posting 70 catches and 800 yards as a rookie in PPR formats.
Omarion Hampton Drafted No. 32 Overall by the Philadelphia Eagles
Hampton, a likely power back with a strong 2024 season, fits the Eagles, who pick 32nd and may need a long-term RB with Saquon Barkley‘s productive years nearing their end. Hampton’s size and tackle-breaking ability suit Nick Sirianni’s run-heavy scheme, where he’d be a backup initially before becoming the lead back in 2026, handling 10-15 touches per game.
In dynasty, Hampton’s role in a top-tier offense projects him as a handcuff with RB1 upside by year two, likely posting 800-1,000 scrimmage yards as a rookie in a committee.
Jalen Milroe Drafted No. 33 Overall by the Cleveland Browns
Milroe’s 2024 dual-threat ability and upside make him a fit for the Browns, who have the 33rd pick overall and will move on from Deshaun Watson this season. Milroe’s big arm and elite rushing suit Kevin Stefanski’s play-action scheme, where he’d compete for the starting role, utilizing Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku while adding 400-500 rushing yards. In dynasty, Milroe’s rushing floor gives him QB1 potential, starting as a QB2 with 3,200 passing yards and 500 rushing yards as a rookie, with a top-10 upside by year two if he can work on some accuracy and processing issues. He will have to beat out Kenny Pickett for the starting job, but Pickett shouldn’t stand in his way for long.
Emeka Egbuka Drafted No. 46 Overall by the Atlanta Falcons
Emeka Egbuka‘s polished route-running makes him a fit for the Falcons, who pick 46th and need a WR2 for Michael Penix Jr. alongside Drake London. Egbuka’s reliability suits Zac Robinson‘s system, where he’d play in the slot or as a Z-receiver, seeing 5-7 targets per game. In dynasty, Egbuka projects as a WR3 with WR2 upside by year two, with 70-80 catches and 900 yards as a rookie in PPR formats.

Quinshon Judkins Drafted No. 47 Overall by the Arizona Cardinals
Judkins is a power runner who fits the Cardinals, who pick 47th and may need a bigger back to complement the aging and injury-plagued James Conner. Judkins’s physicality suits Drew Petzing’s run-heavy approach, where he’d split carries and eventually take over as the lead back, handling 12-15 touches per game. In dynasty, Judkins projects as an RB3 with RB2 upside by year two, with 700-900 scrimmage yards as a rookie in a committee.
Isaiah Bond Drafted No. 48 Overall by the Miami Dolphins
Bond, a speedster, fits the Dolphins’ long-term plans, who pick 48th and need a WR3 behind Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill who he will eventually surpass. Bond’s quickness suits Mike McDaniel’s system, where he’d play as a slot receiver, seeing 4-6 targets per game with Tua Tagovailoa and adding deep-threat value. In dynasty, Bond projects as a WR4 with WR3 upside by year two, with 50 catches, 700 yards, and 5 TDs as a rookie in a high-powered offense. His ceiling could be raised even higher if the rumors of a Tyreek Hill departure from Miami turn out to be accurate.
TreVeyon Henderson Drafted No. 49 Overall by the Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals, pick 17th in the first round but will likely target a running back in the second round instead. The Bengals, with Zack Moss and Chase Brown, could use Henderson’s speed and pass-catching ability to add a dynamic element to their backfield in Zac Taylor’s pass-heavy offense, where he’d serve as a complementary back, handling 8-12 touches per game, including 3-4 targets as a receiving option for Joe Burrow.
In dynasty, Henderson’s role in a high-powered offense projects him as an RB3 with RB2 upside by year two, likely posting 700-900 scrimmage yards and 5 TDs as a rookie in a committee, making him a solid mid-round dynasty pick with potential for more if he earns a larger role.
Jayden Higgins Drafted No. 50 Overall by the Seattle Seahawks
Higgins is a big-bodied receiver who fits the Seattle Seahawks, who pick 17th in the first round but could target a wide receiver in the second round. The Seahawks need a WR3 to complement Jaxon Smith-Njigba and aging Cooper Kupp for Sam Darnold, and Higgins’s size and contested-catch ability suit Seattle’s offense, where he’d play as an X-receiver, complementing the two slot receivers. In dynasty, Higgins’ role in a balanced offense projects him as a WR4 with WR3 upside by year two, with even WR2 upside as the veteran Kupp slowly winds down his career and is usurped by the rookie.
Tre Harris Drafted No. 51 Overall by the Denver Broncos
Harris is a possession receiver and fits the Broncos, who pick 51st and need a WR2 for Bo Nix alongside Courtland Sutton. Harris’s size and hands suit Sean Payton’s system, where he’d play as an X-receiver, seeing 4-6 targets per game and providing a reliable target. In dynasty, Harris projects as a WR4 with WR3 upside by year two, with 50 catches, 700 yards, and 4 TDs as a rookie in a developing offense.
Jack Bech Drafted No. 58 Overall by the Houston Texans

In Dynasty, Bech projects as a WR5 with WR4 upside by year two, with 40 catches, 500 yards, and 3-4 TDs as a rookie in a talented offense.
Kaleb Johnson Drafted No. 59 Overall by the Baltimore Ravens
Johnson profiles as a power back and would be a nice fit for the Ravens, who pick 59th and may need a complement to Derrick Henry as the wear and tear will eventually catch up with him. His size and physicality suit John Harbaugh’s run-heavy scheme, where he’d split carries and see 8-12 touches per game as a rookie, learning behind Henry. In dynasty, Johnson projects as an RB3 with RB2 potential by year two, with 600-800 scrimmage yards as a rookie in a shared backfield.
Jalen Royals Drafted No. 60 Overall by the Detroit Lions
Jalen Royals is a deep threat who fits the Detroit Lions, who pick 28th in the first round but could target a WR in the second round. The Lions need a WR3 to complement Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and Royalss’ speed and ability to stretch the field suit Detroit’s high-powered offense, where he’d play as a Z-receiver, seeing 3-5 targets per game with Jared Goff. In dynasty, Royals’s role in a top-tier offense projects him as a WR5 with WR4 upside by year two, likely posting 35-45 catches, 500 yards, and 4 TDs as a rookie in a crowded but efficient passing attack, making him a late-round flier in dynasty drafts.
