Jaxson Dart fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, Jaxson Dart 2025 Fantasy Preview 2024: A three-year starter in Lane Kiffin's simplistic, prolific Ole Miss offense, Dart (6'2/223) looks the NFL part both from a physical and box score perspective. His production increased all three years in Oxford, culminating in an SEC-leading 4,279 yards last season. His 10.8 yards per attempt led qualified passers by a considerable distance, a number helped along by a similarly prolific aDOT (11.9). What's changed: We love that Dart stuffed the stat sheet against an SEC gauntlet, but he buttered his bread on his first 1-2 reads. If the progression had to go longer it … simply didn't. Dart would tuck and run. He scrambled a somewhat ridiculous 45 times considering his average athleticism. He is admittedly tough as a runner, a quality in ever greater demand in the modern NFL. 2025 Outlook: Dart is an impressive overall passer with a few gaping holes in his game. If he can close up 1-2 of them, he could quickly become a legitimate NFL starter. The Giants insist it won't be early this season, calling Russell Wilson the unquestioned No. 1. We would still expect Dart to lead the team in starts after Halloween, putting him on the streamer radar. Get personalized fantasy football insights based on your league settings with FantasyLife+.

J.J. McCarthy fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, J.J. McCarthy 2025 Fantasy Preview 2024: After undergoing a meniscus repair following some work in the preseason, McCarthy missed the entire 2025 season and watched helplessly as Sam Darnold put up huge numbers in Minnesota's offense. McCarthy was 11-of-17 for 188 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in his lone preseason start. He underwent a second cleanup surgery towards the end of the season, but was a full participant in early offseason OTAs and minicamps. What's changed: Darnold is off to Seattle and the Vikings didn't really address QB2 this offseason, as Daniel Jones walked to Indianapolis and the team decided not to pursue Aaron Rodgers seriously. They acquired Sam Howell in a draft-day trade, all but ensuring that McCarthy will get plenty of rope as the starter. Outlook: This is one of the major questions of the 2025 fantasy football season. It is hard to believe that McCarthy would do worse than Darnold after looking at Darnold's career pre-Vikings, and McCarthy will certainly have every opportunity to play well in one of the best-designed and stocked offenses in the league. But he's also essentially a redshirt rookie, and one who didn't exactly light up the scoreboard at Michigan. (We know, we know, he didn't have to.) There are outcomes where McCarthy puts up fringe QB1 production, and there are also outcomes where he sabotages the entire Vikings offense.

Xavier Worthy fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, Xavier Worthy 2025 Fantasy Preview 2024: The Chiefs pulled the plug on the speedy Worthy as a strictly downfield threat late last season, using him almost exclusively as a short-area catch-and-gun guy. It worked well: Worthy racked up 394 yards on 38 receptions over the season's final seven games before exploding for 157 yards and two touchdowns in KC's Super Bowl loss to the Eagles. Worthy showed he can be a multidimensional threat in Andy Reid's offensive system. He benefited from the absence of Rashee Rice, who went down with a season-ending injury in Week 4. What's changed: Rashee Rice's status is up in the air as he faces a potential suspension that could be as little as two games and as much as six games. It's also unclear when the suspension might take effect. The Chiefs selected WR Jaylen Royals in the fourth round of the 2025 draft. Outlook: Worthy likely won't retain his hearty target share with the return of Rice, who was dominant before his Week 4 knee injury. Still, Worthy should be fine as a WR2/3 in 12-team leagues who has as much weekly upside as any wideout outside the elite group. The Chiefs offense should remain one of the NFL's most pass heavy units, creating enough volume for Worthy even if Rice returns to his 2024 dominance.

Hollywood Brown fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, Hollywood Brown 2025 Fantasy Preview 2024: Brown missed most of the season after suffering a major shoulder injury in the preseason. He returned in Week 15 and was targeted at a high per-route rate, though his playing time remained limited. Brown had just 14 catches for 141 scoreless yards over five games in 2024. What's changed: Brown is fully recovered from a shoulder injury he suffered last August. The Chiefs could be without Rashee Rice in the early going as Rice faces a suspension that could be anywhere from two games to six games. The team also selected WR Jaylen Royals in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Outlook: While he'll certainly be part of three-receiver sets, Brown will likely function as Patrick Mahomes' WR3, well behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. Perhaps Brown will take on the primary downfield role in the KC offense. There might not be much fantasy value in that role with Mahomes largely refusing to go downfield in recent seasons.

Michael Pittman Jr. fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, Michael Pittman Jr. 2025 Fantasy Preview 2024: Pittman became the 1B option to Josh Downs' 1A in 2024. It wasn't all bad though. Pittman went for 69 grabs and 808 yards along with three scores in the run-heavy Indy offense, functioning as a decent WR3 in fantasy. With Downs in the mix, Pittman saw his per-route efficiency drop dramatically in 2024. What's changed: The Colts signed QB Daniel Jones this offseason. He's expected to be the team's Week 1 starter with Anthony Richardson recovering from his second shoulder surgery in two years. Outlook: Pittman should see a bump in pass volume this season if Jones seizes the Colts' starting QB job. Richardson finding his way into the starting gig would be a big blow for Pittman. Jones has been among the league's most accurate intermediate passers over the past three seasons. That could work out well for Pittman, who feasts on targets in the intermediate areas of the field.
