Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Pro.

You know, every single season, some rookie shows up and win somebody a fantasy league. And I'm here to give you some names with my two best friends, Jake Sealy and Scott Bogman, Jake Sealy, of course, from The Athletic, and Scott Bogman, one of the most athletic people I know. So ironically, those two things have converged here. And we're going to talk about

rookies. And of course, these guys know what they're talking about. Scott Bogman, the host of our

Dynasty Football podcast. And Jake Seeley has read a book or two about fantasy once in a while. So we

are going to break down some rookies, some earlier ones that we really think you should be investing

in despite maybe some higher ADP,

we think it might be worth it. And a couple late round gems, too, that might really turn the tie

of your fantasy season. Before we get after, just a quick reminder, if you're watching this video,

That's all you got to do. and that's how we'll alert you if you're the big winner of the James Cook jersey this month.

All right, Jake, let's start with you here. Who is the first of your rookies? They're going to make a huge impact in fantasy landscapes in 2025. So I didn't take the me-bound layup like Bogman did for this one. And then I also wanted to avoid two running backs I've talked about

a lot recently, a Marion Hampton and Trayvion Henderson. So I wanted to be a little bit different because if people watch, of course, recent shows, I just talked up Hampton a lot. So I'm going to talk Tedaro and McMiglin. And I know a lot of people are talking McMillan. But the reason I bring him up is that I might not be as high as some people, honestly, when you look at consensus.

But the reason I think that you invest in him and why I say, I'm okay if you want to take them inside the top 50, which is a tier five wide receiver for me. My tier five wide receivers goes from 22 to 36. If you want to take any of them first in that tier, I'm okay with it. If you want to push some down that you don't like, because the upside McMillan is if Bryce Young looks anything like he did at the end of last year, if McMillan steps in, and he is the talent that we saw in college and that warranted in being the first or second wire receiver off the board, depending on how you look at Hunter, if he walks into 130 plus targets. And actually, you know what, even if Bryce Young isn't as good as he was at the end of last year, if he's just middle of the pack, 130 targets, there's going to be value of Mcmillan pushing a top 25, even possibly top 20 wide receiver season as a rookie. So that's why I wanted to bring him up. One, to differentiate from some names that I've already brought up, but to say that while I might not be the highest on him, I'm actually okay with you taking him as a top 50 pick.

Oh, I think... from some names that I've already brought up, but to say that while I might not be the highest on him,

I'm actually okay with you taking him as a top 50 pick. Look, I think the volume is going to be there,

and I could see him have a season very similar that people don't see coming that Brian Thomas had last

year. I really can. Look, Trevor Lawrence was a little down in the doldrums last year, Bryce Young.
