Fantasy Football: 2025 rookie QBs could ultimately pay dividends, but don't expect an immediate impact
Our Summary
The article delves into the performance of rookie quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL season, highlighting Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, who mirrored Robert Griffin III's 2012 success by significantly improving the team's record. Daniels almost claimed the title of highest-scoring fantasy rookie QB. The 2024 class, including Bo Nix and Caleb Williams, left a lasting impact on the rookie leaderboard, emphasizing the importance of rushing abilities for high-scoring QBs.
Looking ahead to 2025, the draft differs with fewer quarterbacks selected early. Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart are notable picks, though Ward isn't expected to match legendary debuts. Tyler Shough may start for the Saints, facing a promising yet challenging setup. Historical context shows second-round quarterbacks rarely make immediate fantasy impacts, but exceptions exist, adding intrigue to rookies' potential performances.
