Every year, during fantasy football drafts, many managers find themselves at a point where they believe that every pick can define their season.

5 NFL Rookies To Avoid Drafting for 2025 Fantasy Football (Premium Content)

Rookies play a crucial role in fantasy football. In dynasty leagues, they are the draft.
