2025 NFL Rookie Dynasty Mock Draft: Top Picks for 12-Team Fantasy Football TE Premium Leagues

Tyler Warren - NFL Draft Prospect, Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Rankings

Top picks in 2025 NFL Rookie Dynasty Mock Drafts. 12-team fantasy football leagues, TE premium scoring: Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward, Tetairoa McMillan, and more.

With the Super Bowl behind us, all football fans’ attention has turned to the upcoming offseason. The 2025 NFL Draft is full of potential future fantasy football superstars, primarily at the running back position. 

While there are many different formats to play dynasty fantasy football in, one of the trendy formats is tight-end premium. This format attributes additional points for each reception made by a tight end, thus adding extra value to the position.

The below mock draft assumes a 12-team, tight-end premium, Superflex format. Values are set to change throughout the NFL Combine and especially the draft itself, but here is where we stand as of now.

Round 1 Mock Draft

1.01 - Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Currently the unquestioned 1.01, Ashton Jeanty is locked in as a top-15 selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. He will be an impact running back from Day 1 and is instantly one of the most valuable at the position.

1.02 - Cam Ward, QB, Miami

The quarterback with the highest upside in this class is Miami’s Cam Ward. With all of the physical traits of an elite franchise quarterback, landing spot and coaching will help determine just how far he can go in the league.

1.03 - Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Tetairoa McMillan’s size-athleticism combo is compared over and over to that of Drake London -- and that is an accurate comparison. The phenom receiver is expected to be a top-10 selection in the NFL Draft, and he should be an instant go-to receiver for his new team.

1.04 - Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Given that this is a tight-end premium format, the first tight end comes off the board fourth overall. Tyler Warren was used much like Brock Bowers was at Georgia, lining up all over the field while being fed the ball in creative ways. Warren will look to follow in Bowers’ footsteps as an instant-impact first-rounder.

1.05 - Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

Omarion Hampton was uber-productive in a bad offense in 2024. He is young, does not face injury concerns, and is as well-rounded of a running back prospect as you can find.

1.06 - Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Likely to be the first or second quarterback off the board, Deion’s son is known for his accuracy as a passer. While he won’t light box scores up with his legs, he has the potential to develop into a good quarterback in the league. 

1.07 - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

The former Ohio State star holds school records despite never being the No. 1 receiver on his team. He has already proved he can be an extremely effective No. 2 option. With shades of Amon-Ra St. Brown in his game, he has the ideal NFL build and skill set.

1.08 - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

If not for injuries during his sophomore and junior seasons, TreVeyon Henderson would be a lot closer to 1.01 than 1.08. He is the most explosive back in the class with a very strong pass-catching ability.

1.09 - Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri

The Missouri star did not put up the numbers he was expected to as a junior, but Luther Burden III proved all he needed to prove as a sophomore. He will be a first-rounder in April and will instantly improve a team’s passing attack.

1.10 - Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

The Iowa product exploded as a junior and would have gotten a lot more national attention had Ashton Jeanty not overshadowed him. Kaleb Johnson is big but plays patiently, a good combo for an NFL running back.

1.11 - Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State

Quinshon Judkins’ decision to transfer from Ole Miss to Ohio State paid off, as he won a national championship while taking less of a beating in a split backfield with TreVeyon Henderson. Judkins would be a surefire top-3 running back prospect in most years, but this class is so deep at the position that he barely sneaks into the first round.

1.12 - Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

The second tight end goes off the board with the final pick of Round 1. The Michigan product accounted for nearly 35 percent of his team’s receiving yardage this past season and has all of the tools needed to be successful at the next level.

 

Round 2 Mock Draft

2.01 - Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

The Texas product led the receiver room in his first and only year in Austin, proving he is an NFL-caliber receiver. He has been rising up draft boards as of late and could hear his name called in Round 1, making him an intriguing pick at 2.01.

2.02 - Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Ole Miss product Tre Harris doesn’t have too many knocks on his game. After spending three seasons at Louisiana Tech, Harris has rattled off back-to-back 985+ yard, 7+ touchdown seasons in the SEC. He has the size, skill, and production to develop into an NFL star.

2.03 - Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss

Back-to-back Ole Miss products off the board as Harris’ quarterback, Jaxson Dart, is selected. Dart is commonly considered the third-best quarterback prospect in the class and could sneak into the first round, which would no doubt raise his dynasty stock.

2.04 - Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green

The Bowling Green tight end strung together a historical season with 1,555 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. His measurables don’t wow by any means, but he is a great route runner and has proven production, which are two positives when looking for a receiving tight end. He’s worth the dart throw in a tight-end premium format despite being undersized.

2.05 - Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado

The dart throw of all dart throws is Heisman winner Travis Hunter, who will likely be drafted top three in the 2025 NFL Draft after a 1,258-yard, 15-touchdown season. The only question mark with Hunter is whether he will even play receiver enough to merit fantasy consideration in the NFL. He is set to attend the combine as a cornerback, which makes his dynasty value even more shaky.

2.06 - Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas

Quinn Ewers catches a lot of flack for never living up to his potential as a five-star recruit, but the guy did lead his team to two semifinal appearances. He has the size and arm strength of an NFL quarterback, and a team will take a chance on him, especially with the need at the position. Dynasty managers should take a chance, too.

2.07 - Devin Neal, RB, Kansas

Devin Neal has been a productive runner since his true freshman season in 2021, and he holds several Kansas rushing records. He’s a talented back who should make a Day 1 impact.

2.08 - Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State

Ollie Gordon’s junior season fall-off was a shock to many after rushing for 1,732 yards and 21 touchdowns as a sophomore, but he still has the unique size/speed combo that allowed him to be so effective. His upside is very worth the shot at 2.08.

2.09 - Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee

Dylan Sampson broke out as a junior after sharing backfield duties his first two seasons at Tennessee. His top-end speed may be faster than any other running back in the class, and his size will only benefit him at the NFL level.

2.10 - Jack Bech, WR, TCU

The Senior Bowl MVP outproduced Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. as a freshman at LSU. After a few down years, he broke out again as a senior at TCU. Bech has the size and the hands to make it work in the NFL. He will be an intriguing prospect to follow throughout the combine, as his stock has already soared upward after the Senior Bowl.

2.11 - Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

You won’t find a more physically appealing receiver outside of Tetairoa McMillan in this class than Jayden Higgins. At 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, Higgins went for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns as a senior. He will likely be a Day 2 pick, making him an interesting dynasty selection.

2.12 - Damien Martinez, RB, Miami

Damien Martinez has produced every season of his college career at two different schools. He is a large, physical back but possesses breakaway speed as well. His age is also a positive, as he will be 21 years old for the entirety of his rookie year.

 

Round 3 Mock Draft

3.01 - Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami

Back-to-back Miami prospects are off the board as breakout tight end Elijah Arroyo becomes the fourth tight end selected. Arroyo faced injuries over the start of his career but was finally healthy in 2024, and he recorded 590 yards and seven touchdowns. His athleticism has caused him to rise up boards recently, as scouts believe he still has loads of untapped potential.

3.02 - Mason Taylor, TE, LSU

Mason Taylor made the biggest catch of his career as a freshman to beat Alabama in overtime. The son of Jason recorded 55 catches for 546 yards and two touchdowns as a junior this past season. He has the size and talent to stick around in the league for a long time and feels like a steal at 3.02 in a tight-end premium format.

3.03 - RJ Harvey, RB, UCF

RJ Harvey has not taken a traditional route to where he is today after starting as a quarterback and then dealing with back-to-back season-ending injuries, but he has produced back-to-back 1,400+ yards, 16+ touchdown seasons as one of the best running backs in college football. He is undersized, but his speed makes up for it.

3.04 - Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State

The center of the most fun story in college football this past season, Cam Skattebo continues to be underrated amongst running back prospects heading into the league. His lack of breakaway speed will ultimately hurt his draft stock, but Skattebo has the grit, physicality, and pass-catching ability that will make a coach very happy at the next level.

3.05 - Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas

Gunnar Helm is not an exciting prospect by any means, but he can be productive in the right environment. He put up 786 yards and seven touchdowns after replacing the departed Ja'Tavion Sanders as Texas’ top tight end in 2024. Think Dalton Schultz or Jake Ferguson. He can be a rock-solid tight end in the NFL.

3.06 - Pat Bryant, WR, Illinois

His numbers have never jumped off the page, but Pat Bryant has made some highlight-reel plays over his four seasons in Champaign. He has NFL size, and in a class that lacks wide receiver depth, could easily climb up the board.

3.07 - Tai Felton, WR, Maryland

Tai Felton improved every year at Maryland, capping off his career with a 96-catch, 1,124-yard, nine-touchdown season. Terps fans compare him to Stefon Diggs, and the comparison is not far off as they have similar play styles.

3.08 - DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State

A former walk-on, DJ Giddens has exploded since being given full reign of the Kansas State backfield in 2023. His combination of size and patience allowed him to produce for the Wildcats and should allow him to slot right into a committee from Day 1 in the league.

3.09 - Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon

Terrance Ferguson has been an important part of the Oregon offense for the past three seasons, operating as a security blanket and red-zone target, a role that can easily translate to NFL success.

3.10 - Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama

Jalen Milroe is a polarizing prospect in that he has elite athleticism but has proven time and time again that his ability as a quarterback needs work. All it takes is one NFL team to fall in love with the potential, in which case he would shoot up rookie draft boards due to his elite rushing upside.

3.11 - Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

Elic Ayomanor became a well-known name when he went off for 13 receptions, 294 yards, and three touchdowns on Travis Hunter in a double-overtime win in 2023. He has been a highlight reel since, and likely slots in as a second- or third-round pick in the upcoming draft.

3.12 - Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State

Jalen Royals’ season ended just seven games in due to injury, but he had already amassed 834 yards and six touchdowns. Royals has the skill set to become a No. 1 receiver in the league, as he is dynamic with the ball in his hands but also a good route runner. Grabbing him at 3.12 feels like a bargain.
