Jalen Coker, WR, Carolina Panthers

Coker is an undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross. He latched on with the Carolina Panthers and began producing during the second half of the 2024 season. In 11 games, Coker posted a 32-478-2 line and showed an affinity for making big plays.

He legitimately looked the part of an NFL-caliber receiver and his underlying data backs that up. Among 100 receivers with at least 40 targets, Coker finished a respectable 43rd in PFF’s Receiving Grade.

Out of 169 receivers with at least 50 routes run, Coker finished 86th in Fantasy Points Data Suite's Average Separation Score. He fared better in this metric than the likes of Davante Adams, Jaylen Waddle, D.J. Moore, and D.K. Metcalf.

Coker's presence helped elevate Bryce Young and the team’s passing game down the stretch. He won’t be mistaken for Justin Jefferson anytime soon, but Coker is a solid player with room to grow into a very useful dynasty asset.

His price tag is also very cheap as he’s currently ranked as RotoBaller’s dynasty WR79. He shouldn’t cost much in a trade and is a great throw-in target as part of a bigger deal.

Coker makes for a good late-round dart throw in dynasty start-up drafts as well. Carolina looks to have found a diamond in the rough with Coker. Dynasty managers lucky enough to have him on their rosters could be in store for a nice surprise.

Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys

Prescott’s 2024 was cut short due to a torn hamstring. While he underperformed statistically compared to 2023, it's important to remember he has QB2 and QB3 finishes on his resume and has thrown for 30+ touchdown passes multiple times.

Prescott has consistently fallen to the fifth round of Superflex startup drafts this offseason. This price tag feels like a huge steal given his upside.

He is a perfect buy-low candidate for anyone in need of a quarterback and is an excellent QB2 option for Superflex managers.

Josh Downs, WR, Indianapolis Colts

Downs’ final 2024 numbers may not blow you away, but when we look under the hood, there are some good reasons to be excited about his future. Per Fantasy Points Data Suite, Downs registered a 30% Targets Per Route Run (TPRR), a 23.9% Target Share, and a 2.29 Yards Per Route Run (YPRR). Strong scores in these metrics highly correlate to fantasy football success.

The elephant in the room regarding Downs is the Colts' current quarterback situation. Anthony Richardson struggled mightily this past season, and it looks like he could be a bust. However, Colts general manager Chris Ballard hinted that the team will add competition to the quarterback position this offseason.

That could be good news for Downs’ fantasy value as he was most successful last year when Joe Flacco was under center. Downs is a talented receiver and just needs competent quarterback play to thrive.

Currently ranked as RotoBaller’s dynasty WR42, Downs has the chance to soar up dynasty rankings with a big 2025. He’s one of the more underrated receivers in the league and could break out in a big way if Indianapolis figures out the quarterback position.

Chuba Hubbard, RB, Carolina Panthers

Hubbard enjoyed a career year in 2024. He ran for a career-high 1,195 yards and scored 10 rushing touchdowns.

His advanced metrics were also quite strong. Hubbard finished third in Next Gen Stats Rush Yards Over Expected (RYOE) and fourth in Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt (RYOE/ATT). He was also PFF’s ninth-highest-graded rusher.

Jonathon Brooks, Carolina’s 2024 second-round pick, re-tore his ACL in December. He is unlikely to play in 2025. That means less competition for Hubbard in the Carolina backfield. The incoming rookie running back class is loaded with talent, so Hubbard has a major bullet to dodge there to remain Carolina’s unquestioned RB1.

However, the Panthers did sign him to a contract extension last year and made him the sixth highest-paid back in the league. So regardless of who Carolina adds this offseason, Hubbard should remain heavily involved in the team’s offense.

Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

After Pittsburgh declined Harris’ fifth-year option last offseason, questions arose regarding his status with the team. However, that ultimately did not matter as Harris posted his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season in 2024. He led the backfield in touches and was the top running back in Pittsburgh’s offense.

A recent report suggested that Pittsburgh may choose to extend Harris this offseason. That would be quite the about-face after declining his fifth-year option, but the team must be happy with his play. While his stats don’t blow you away, Harris did score well in several running back metrics last year.

Among 46 backs with at least 100 carries, Harris finished 16th in PFF’s signature Elusive Rating and seventh in Fantasy Points Data Suite’s Missed Tackles Forced.

Should he return to Pittsburgh, Harris could be in line for more touches and would be a good bet to cross the 1,000-yard mark for the fifth consecutive season.  There is some risk regarding his role should he sign elsewhere in free agency. However, any team that brings him in will likely have a defined role in mind for him.

Harris is currently ranked as RotoBaller’s dynasty RB36 and is one of the better buy low running backs out there right now.
