If you're here, you know how important the NFL Draft can be for your fantasy teams. Whether dynasty or redraft, we're going to see players' values impacted early and often. It sounds as though Cam Ward is set to be a Titan, but what about Shedeur Sanders? Will the Cowboys or Broncos grab their new stud running back? Will we see a drop-off in wideouts from 2024? All those answers and more, including the fantasy football impact for the players and all of their new teammates are on their way, tonight.
In the meantime, here are some of the more interesting teams for specific needs/fantasy football impact. And to illustrate what I mean by that, take my omission of the New York Giants from the quarterbacks list.
In real life, the Giants absolutely need a long-term answer at quaterback. Fantasy wise, Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders or any of the rest wouldn't move the fantasy needle from steady Russell Wilson or aggressive Jameis Winston to put it as a "fantasy need." If anything, knowing the floor of Wilson and the ceiling of Winston is a better situation than any rookie quarterback's Year 1 outlook for Malik Nabers and company.

Shilo Sanders Turns Heads With Apple Watch Drop for Colorado Players
Shilo Sanders Turns Heads With Apple Watch Drop for Colorado Players originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Shilo Sanders may be in the NFL now, but the former Colorado safety is still finding ways to influence the Buffaloes program he helped elevate. Advertisement In a recent video posted by defensive lineman Tawfiq Thomas, many other Colorado players showed off Apple Watches gifted by Sanders, now a rookie safety with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Thomas celebrated the moment by flashing his new piece of technology and wrote, 'Apple Watch after workout. Yes sir, Shilo!' The group of Buffs joined in by doing 'The Shedeur," honoring Shilo's younger brother and former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. His gift carried a deeper message that despite moving on, he remains connected to the program. During his time in Boulder, Sanders was known as a vocal leader and a presence on and off the field. He embraced recruiting efforts and took ownership of the defense, often urging prospective players to reach out directly. Now, his leadership takes a new form by reminding current players that the brotherhood doesn't end when players leave campus. Advertisement In a college football era dominated by NIL deals and the transfer portal, moments of continuity resonate. The Apple Watches may draw attention, but the real value lies in the message of loyalty and legacy. Related: Deion Sanders' Cryptic Three-Word Message Comes After Publicizing Health Setbacks The gift drop to the entire Colorado Football team comes while Sanders is still fighting in federal court to discharge an $11.8 million debt via bankruptcy. The massive default judgement stems from damages to a former high school security guard during a 2015 assault.

Jaxson Dart's Terrible OTAs Left Fans in Disbelief About Skipping Shedeur Sanders
Jaxson Dart's Terrible OTAs Left Fans in Disbelief About Skipping Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As Shedeur Sanders continues to trend upwards with the Cleveland Browns, another rookie quarterback is having a hard time getting adjusted. Advertisement There weren't many teams past the Tennessee Titans who needed a QB in the 2025 NFL Draft. But one team in particular, the New York Giants, was shopping aggressively. Sanders was linked to the G-Men in the pre-draft process for several reasons. They held a top-five pick, sent all of their scouting staff to Boulder for CU's Pro Day, and had a well-documented history of courting Sanders during the 2024 season. But in the end, the Giants skipped Sanders and trading up at the end of the first round to select Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart. It was the beginning of Sanders' slide. But was that a costly mistake for Brian Daboll and his staff? With OTAs underway, Dart has yet to have a spectacular day in the Meadowlands. The former Rebels passer reportedly went 5-for-9 with two interceptions on Thursday. Related: Browns OC Sends Clear Message About Shedeur Sanders in QB Battle Many people are now questioning if the Giants made the wrong decision by not taking Sanders. Of course, these are just practices and there's nothing at real game speed. However, the pressure is on for Daboll and his staff to show progress during the upcoming season, according to sources. It's the reason why New York signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency. Advertisement Related: Deion Sanders Reveals He's Been Battling Health Issues During Offseason Whether or not Dart's struggles will set off alarms for the Giants remains to be seen. Still, there will be a point where passing of Sanders might be a regret for New York and other NFL teams. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
