NFL Rookie Dynasty Mock Draft: 2025 Fantasy Football 10-Team, Single Quarterback

Mike Fanelli's fantasy football dynasty rookie mock draft after the 2025 NFL Draft. The best NFL rookies for your dynasty leagues based on talent and landing spot.

The 2025 NFL Draft is still months away. However, the deadline to declare is just around the corner. While some big-name players haven’t announced their decision, it’s never too early for a dynasty rookie mock draft.

While much will change over the next few months, dynasty fantasy players will start rookie mock drafts this week if they haven’t already. Therefore, let’s dive into my first dynasty rookie mock draft of the year.

This rookie mock draft is a two-round, 10-team, and single quarterback.

Round 1 Mock Draft

1.01 – Ashton Jeanty, Boise State

Many thought Jeanty should have won the Heisman award this season. However, the Boise State star is all but a lock to be the first pick in non-superflex dynasty rookie drafts this year. The only knock against the elite prospect is his heavy workload, totaling 830 touches in college. Meanwhile, Jeanty had 29 rushing touchdowns in 2024.

1.02 – Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona

While Ashton Jeanty is the highlight of the rookie draft class, McMillan is an equally appealing prospect for fantasy players. The Arizona star is locked in as the clear-cut WR1 of the rookie draft class. He finished his college career with 26 receiving touchdowns in 37 games. More importantly, McMillan led the Big-12 in receiving yards with 1,319 this season.

1.03 – Luther Burden III, Missouri

Burden doesn’t have the flash of Tetairoa McMillan, but the Missouri star should be a top-three pick in dynasty rookie drafts. He isn’t a traditional wide receiver. Instead, NFL teams and fantasy players should view him as an offensive weapon. Missouri used him all over the field, including in the backfield.

1.04 – Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State

Some will call this pick a reach, given the draft class’ talent at the running back position. Yet, the depth at running back allows fantasy players to draft wide receivers early. Egbuka has been overshadowed this year because of star freshman Jeremiah Smith. However, Egbuka can be a fantasy impact player as a rookie. He had 10 receiving touchdowns this season, the second time hitting the double-digit mark in the past three years.

1.05 – Omarion Hampton, North Carolina

The North Carolina star doesn’t have the same name value as Ashton Jeanty. Yet, Hampton is an excellent fallback option for fantasy players who need running back help but weren’t lucky enough to secure the top pick. He finished second in college football with 1,660 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. Hampton also had 373 receiving yards, breaking the school’s record for scrimmage yards with 2,033.

1.06 – Travis Hunter, Colorado

Hunter would be the clear-cut third pick in dynasty rookie drafts if he was guaranteed to only play wide receiver in the NFL. However, the Heisman Trophy winner is a two-way player, with many scouts thinking his better position is cornerback. Therefore, fantasy players run the risk of Hunter playing limited or no snaps on offense some weeks, making him too dangerous to draft with a top-five pick.

1.07 – Tyler Warren, Penn State

Last year’s rookie class featured the best tight end prospect in a long time. However, fantasy players who missed out on Brock Bowers have a chance to land the second-best tight end prospect in recent memory. Warren had a breakout 2024 season, leading the Big Ten in receptions (104) and receiving yards (1,233). He is also a threat on the ground, totaling 26 attempts for 218 yards and four touchdowns.

1.08 – Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State

Ohio State had arguably the best 1-2 punch at running back in college football this year. Judkins was a superstar at Ole Miss and kept up his elite play in Columbus. The elite runner has 12 rushing touchdowns this season heading into the National Title Game despite sharing the backfield. He has had 12 or more rushing touchdowns every year of his college career.

1.09 – Colston Loveland, Michigan

Some will have Loveland ranked ahead of Tyler Warren in their dynasty rookie rankings. Regardless of which star pass catcher you label TE1, both should be top-10 dynasty rookie picks. Loveland had 56 receptions for 582 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2024. However, he is better than the numbers suggest, especially with Michigan’s struggles at the quarterback position.

1.10 – Isaiah Bond, Texas

Unfortunately, Bond’s draft stock took a hit in the second half of the college football season because of injuries. He had only one reception for eight receiving yards in Texas’ three playoff games. However, the explosive receiver is a difference-maker when healthy. Bond had 74 or more receiving yards in three of the first five games despite having five or fewer receptions in every outing.

Round 2 Mock Draft

2.01 – TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State

While Quinshon Judkins should be the first Ohio State running back drafted, Henderson won’t be far behind him. He had over 900 rushing yards and double-digit touchdowns for the second consecutive season.

2.02 – Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

We finally get a quarterback in this dynasty rookie mock draft. While Sanders will likely be a top-five pick in superflex rookie drafts, the Colorado star isn’t a top-12 selection in single quarterback leagues. He might be the first quarterback picked in the NFL Draft, but his fantasy upside is significantly less than the top passers from last year’s class.

2.03 – Kaleb Johnson, Iowa

Don’t be surprised if Johnson is the biggest riser between now and the NFL Draft. Some believe the Iowa star is a better value, even as the No. 2 running back in the draft class, than Ashton Jeanty as the top pick. Johnson led the Big Ten with 240 rushing attempts for 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns this year.

2.04 – Cam Ward, Miami

Ward went from a mid-round NFL Draft prospect at Washington State to a likely top-15 pick this season at Miami. He finished fourth in the Heisman voting after totaling 4,313 passing yards and an ACC-high 39 touchdowns in 2024.

2.05 – Matthew Golden, Texas

After projecting as a late-round pick heading into the 2024 season, Golden significantly improved his draft stock in his lone year at Texas. The explosive playmaker finished with 58 receptions for 987 receiving yards and an SEC-high nine receiving touchdowns after stepping up as the Longhorn's No. 1 wide receiver late in the season with Isaiah Bond dealing with an injury.

2.06 – Harold Fannin Jr., Bowling Green

While Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland are the clear-cut top two tight ends in the draft class, don’t forget about Fannin. He didn’t play in the Big Ten like the other two tight end prospects. Yet, the Bowling Green star set FBS records in several categories this season, including receptions and receiving yards by a tight end.

Harold Fannin Jr. set FBS records for:

🔸 TE Receptions (117)
🔸 TE Receiving yards (1550)
🔸 Yards after contact (868)
🔸 Missed tackles forced (32)

2.07 – Tre Harris, Ole Miss

Unfortunately, the wide receiver rookie class loses its luster after the first five guys. However, the second-tier pass catchers are solid options in the second round of dynasty rookie drafts. While he is far from a finished product, Harris led Ole Miss in receptions (60) and receiving yards (1,030) this year despite missing five games.

2.08 – Tez Johnson, Oregon

Oregon had one of the top offenses in college football this season. Johnson played a significant role in the team’s success, totaling 83 receptions for 898 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. He has had at least 80 receptions and double-digit touchdowns in both years in Eugene.

2.09 – Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma State

Gordon had high expectations this year after an excellent sophomore season. Unfortunately, he failed to meet them, totaling 190 rushing attempts for 880 yards and 13 touchdowns. By comparison, Gordon led the Big 12 in rushing yards (1,732) and touchdowns (21) in 2023. Yet, he should be a top-20 pick in dynasty rookie drafts.

2.10 – Dylan Sampson, Tennessee

Last year, Sampson was a solid player for Tennessee. However, he had a breakout 2024 season, leading the SEC with 258 rushing attempts for 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns. While Sampson likely won’t be a top-60 NFL Draft pick, he could become a steal for fantasy players.
