Summary

The Dynasty Nerds are reviewing the 2025 rookie class at the season's end. Hosts Garret Price and Andrew Mott break down how quarterbacks and running backs have performed, from disappointing debuts to breakout stars. With playoff positioning locked in and the regular season winding down, it's time to assess which rookies lived up to the hype and which ones left fantasy managers wanting more. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Cam Ward has been the biggest quarterback disappointment, averaging just 10.3 fantasy points per game for Tennessee. The hosts debate whether he'd even go in the first round of a 2025 redraft today, comparing his trajectory to Bryce Young's inconsistent path. With the Titans needing a new coach and multiple weapons, Ward's ceiling appears limited. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart has been the opposite story. Averaging 17.7 points per game despite losing his head coach and key offensive pieces, Dart has shown the ability to will his team to production. His rushing upside has been a superpower, and the hosts consider him a potential 1.01 or 1.02 in a Super Flex redraft. Shedeur Sanders remains the ultimate roller coaster. After falling to the fifth round and sitting behind Dillon Gabriel, he's finally getting his shot in Cleveland. The hosts hope his final three games provide clarity, either elite or terrible, to avoid another muddy Browns offseason. Ashton Jeanty remains the most talented back despite disappointing numbers behind Las Vegas's terrible offensive line. The hosts still believe he's the first running back off the board in a redraft, though the conversation has gotten closer. Omarion Hampton has moved to the top of some rankings after showing he's built for the Chargers' offense. TreVeyon Henderson continues flashing elite big play ability in New England, averaging five yards per carry despite limited touches. Quinshon Judkins has been steady for Cleveland with nearly 800 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, though touchdown consistency remains an issue. RJ Harvey, Cam Skattebo, and Woody Marks all face uncertain futures heading into an offseason loaded with veteran free agent running backs who could shake up depth charts across the league.

0:06.2	man, Andrew Ma. Andrew, how you doing, buddy? Not too bad, man. Just made the playoffs in most of
0:12.4	my Dynasty leagues where I was trying to, the two leagues where I was intentionally tanking.
0:16.9	You know, we're looking like we're picking at the top of the draft this year, man.
0:20.3	That's all that's all you can ask for. I'm. I'm excited. This is the furthest I've ever made it in the Scott Fish Bowl. So I'm excited about that. Yeah, so good things there. We'll see how it plays out. But I think we're down to the top 500 right now. I'm in like 200 something. So. Okay. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see that. No, I need to go check be interesting to see that I know I need to go check
0:40.1	now you just remind me I got to go check how many of my uh bestball teams I've advanced oh yeah yeah
0:46.4	this is a big week for that yeah yeah check that out but today what we're going to be doing is
0:52.0	we're going to be looking back at this rookie class this was was a rookie class that overall we were really, really excited about.
0:57.9	And there were a lot of things to be enthused about in this class.
1:02.1	And there were some other things in this class that you're like,
1:05.1	maybe that didn't play out quite like I hoped it would.
1:09.7	But we're going to go position by position.
1:12.2	We're going to talk about all of the significant assets at those positions and just
1:17.5	talk about where they finished up, the regular season at least, and how we feel about
1:23.2	them now.
1:23.7	So let's start at the quarterback position here.
1:26.2	And you got to start with the 1-1 in both the
1:28.6	NFL draft and, well, hopefully none of your rookie leagues. But maybe there were a couple where
1:32.9	Cam Ward did go 1-1 overall in your rookie drafts. Overall, I think even if you were looking at it
1:42.7	with rose-colored glasses,
1:48.8	this season was not what you hoped for out of Cam Ward.
1:50.8	No, I mean, I don't think it was.
