Fantasy Football Superflex Rookie Mock Draft: Round 1 Picks and Players to Target (2025)

Cam Ward - College Football Rankings, NCAA CFB DFS Lineup Picks

Mike Fanelli's dynasty fantasy football rookie mock draft for Superflex leagues in 2025. He breaks down his selections for the top 12 rookies to target.

The 2025 NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror. That means it’s time for the fantasy football world to dive into dynasty rookie drafts. However, fantasy players should never blindly enter their dynasty rookie drafts without preparing.

Fantasy players can do several things to prepare for their dynasty rookie drafts. However, the best way to prepare is by doing multiple practice mock drafts, whether they use a simulator tool or the old-fashioned way -- pen and paper.

Therefore, let’s dive into my 2025 fantasy football Superflex dynasty rookie mock draft. This article is based on a 12-team Superflex league with half-point PPR scoring and will only include the first round.

Editor's Note: RotoBaller’s Dynasty content delivers year-round dynasty fantasy football rankings, trade advice, rookie analysis, and player outlooks. Build a title-winning roster with sleepers, stash targets, and our full dynasty fantasy football guide.

 

First Round Picks No. 1-6

Pick 1.01 – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Las Vegas Raiders

Jeanty is the clear-cut No. 1 pick in dynasty rookie drafts, regardless of the scoring or format. He was the top running back in college football, totaling more yards after contact than any other player had total rushing yards. Not only does Jeanty have high-end draft capital behind him, but he landed in an excellent spot for his fantasy value. Expect Pete Carroll to make him the focal point of the offense and his new Marshawn Lynch.

Pick 1.02 – Omarion Hampton, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

The former North Carolina star should be a top-5 pick in every dynasty rookie draft. Unfortunately, fantasy players must play the long game with Hampton. The Chargers signed Najee Harris in free agency and could bring back J.K. Dobbins. Therefore, Hampton will be part of a crowded backfield this upcoming season. However, he should be the featured guy starting in 2026. The former North Carolina star will thrive as the featured guy in Jim Harbaugh’s offense.

Pick 1.03 – Cam Ward, QB, Tennessee Titans

The 2025 NFL Draft class lacked star power at the quarterback position. Furthermore, Ward is the only quarterback who should get drafted in the top 10 picks in a Superflex rookie draft. The former Miami star will be the Titans' Week 1 starter. While Tennessee lacks an elite set of weapons, it improved the offensive line in free agency while adding a couple of wide receivers in the NFL Draft, giving Ward fantasy upside as a rookie.

Pick 1.04 – Travis Hunter, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

Unfortunately, Jeanty is the only elite prospect in the draft class. However, Hunter would be an elite prospect if he only played offense. Reportedly, the Jaguars will allow Hunter to play both sides of the ball, but primarily be used on offense. While Brian Thomas Jr. had an impressive rookie season, the rest of Jacksonville’s receiving corps is lackluster. Hunter is the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the draft class but is worthy of a top-4 pick.

Pick 1.05 – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Carolina Panthers

Carolina is an up-and-coming offense with Bryce Young under center. However, the team lacked a go-to No. 1 wide receiver until it drafted McMillan in the first round. The former Arizona star had at least 1,300 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in back-to-back years to end his college career. While Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker had solid moments as rookies, they won’t keep McMillan from seeing over 140 targets as a rookie.

Pick 1.06 – Quinshon Judkins, RB, Cleveland Browns

Judkins wasn’t the Browns’ first or most talked-about pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, he is the team’s most valuable fantasy asset. Cleveland has always wanted a run-first offense under head coach Kevin Stefanski. Therefore, Judkins should become the team’s new Nick Chubb, providing fantasy value early in his career. While the Browns offensive line is far from an elite unit, it can block well enough for Judkins to succeed.

 

First Round Picks No. 7-12

Pick 1.07 – TreVeyon Henderson, RB, New England Patriots

No one expected the Patriots to spend a high draft pick on a running back after investments into Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson over the past few years. Yet, Henderson was the team’s early second-round pick and new lead running back. The former Ohio State star is an explosive runner who can play a massive role in the passing game. While Stevenson and Gibson should still have a role, the backfield now belongs to Henderson.

Pick 1.08 – Colston Loveland, TE, Chicago Bears

Many had Tyler Warren as the top tight end in their rookie rankings before the NFL Draft. However, Loveland will go ahead of him in most rookie drafts because of draft capital and landing spot. While the Bears have Cole Kmet, the veteran has an out in his contract after the 2025 season. Furthermore, Loveland can play all over the field, giving Ben Johnson a creative new toy for Caleb Williams in his offense.

Pick 1.09 – Tyler Warren, TE, Indianapolis Colts

Warren was my favorite prospect heading into the NFL Draft, taking him as early as pick 1.02 in rookie mock drafts. Unfortunately, his fantasy value took a hit following the NFL Draft, coming off the board as the second tight end. More importantly, the Colts have the worst quarterback situation in the NFL. Yet, fantasy players should avoid making the mistake of letting Warren become this year’s Brock Bowers, sliding down draft boards because of his less-than-ideal situation.

Pick 1.10 – Kaleb Johnson, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Johnson was the sixth running back selected in the NFL Draft and a third-round selection. However, the former Iowa star is one of the best values in dynasty rookie drafts. He landed in an excellent spot, replacing Najee Harris in the Steelers offense. While Jaylen Warren is still around, he is playing on a one-year deal and struggled last season. Johnson should be a focal point of the offense, especially with a lackluster set of quarterbacks on the roster.

Pick 1.11Jaxson Dart, QB, New York Giants

Head coach Brian Daboll told Dart in his draft call that he looked forward to developing the former Ole Miss star. Therefore, don’t expect him to start Week 1. Furthermore, the Giants didn’t pay Russell Wilson all that money in free agency to hold a clipboard. However, Dart will start at some point as a rookie. More importantly, he landed in an underrated situation with a solid offensive line in front of him and Malik Nabers on the outside.

Pick 1.12 – RJ Harvey, RB, Denver Broncos

Many will want to draft Harvey in the first round of their dynasty rookie drafts. While fantasy players can make an argument for the former UCF star, he slides into the second round of this mock draft because I’m a big fan of Kaleb Johnson. However, Harvey could be the second-best rookie running back this upcoming season because of his landing spot. He is now the lead back for the Broncos in an extremely fantasy-friendly offense.

 

Quick Look At The Second Round

While this article only covers the first round of my dynasty Superflex mock draft, fantasy players should check out the second round. However, here is a quick look at the second round of my mock draft.
