WR 2nd Year Players

 

Pryor, Kendric - CIN

Pryor, Kendric

Kendric Pryor scores Friday

Kendric Pryor caught 4-of-7 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in a 36-23 loss to the Cardinals in Friday's preseason contest.

Pryor, an undrafted rookie out of Wisconsin, drew praise from head coach Zac Taylor after the game. The rookie will look to catch on with the Bengals and provide depth to the wide receiving corps. Pryor will be an interesting name for preseason DFS contests next week.


Blair, Chris - ATL

Blair, Chris

Chris Blair hauls in 91 yards Saturday

Chris Blair caught 4-of-5 targets for 91 yards in the Falcons 13-12 loss against the Ravens.

Blair was a UDFA a few years ago. He is looking to compete for a depth role in the Falcons wide receiver room.


Washington, Casey - ATL

Washington, Casey

Casey Washington officially inactive for Week 1

Falcons WR Casey Washington is officially inactive for Week 1.

Washington was picked in the sixth-round of the 2024 draft, but he will have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL debut. The 23-year-old should not be rostered barring a change in his playing time.


Smith, Xavier - LAR

Smith, Xavier

Xavier Smith has 30 rushing yards in win

Xavier Smith rushed twice for 30 yards in Sunday's win over the Rams.

Smith was promoted to the active roster once again and made the most of his two opportunities. Smith may be relegated back to the practice squad with the return of Cooper Kupp and will thus be irrelevant in fantasy.


Burton, Jermaine - CIN

Burton, Jermaine

Jermaine Burton catches one pass in Week 11

Jermaine Burton caught one of his four targets for eight yards in a 34-27 loss to the Chargers in Week 11.

Burton has caught exactly one pass in four separate games this season, giving him four receptions for 107 yards on the year. The good news is he is staying relatively involved in the offense, having drawn nine targets over his past two games. Burton will be on bye in Week 12 before a matchup with the Steelers in Week 13.


Weaver, Xavier - ARI

Weaver, Xavier

Xavier Weaver (oblique) likely unavailable Week 1

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Xavier Weaver will likely unavailable in Sunday's season opener.

Weaver was sidelined from practice on Thursday. He'll likely miss at least one game due to an oblique injury.


Smith, Ainias - PHI

Smith, Ainias

Ainias Smith scores in Week 18 win

Ainias Smith caught four of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown and also ran once for four yards in the Eagles' 20-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

The rookie out of Texas A&M had done next to nothing in his rookie year, buried on the depth chart of the Eagles talented roster. It was a nice showing in Week 18 but he's their WR4 at best and even then he's rotating in that position with Johnny Wilson. His limited upside puts him off the map in fantasy leagues, even in dynasty.


Gould, Anthony - IND

Gould, Anthony

Anthony Gould leaving impression early in camp

Indianapolis Colts rookie WR Anthony Gould has left a positive impression early in camp, connecting on a deep ball with QB Kedon Slovis on Saturday.

Gould, a speedster out of Oregon State, connected on the "wow" play of the day in Indianapolis with his 40-yard deep post. He has also seen work as a punt returner, which he had experience with in college (26 career returns, two TDs in 2022). Gould had a 718-yard, two-TD 2023 season with the Beavers and could provide depth as a deep threat (4.39-second 40-yard dash) and returner on punts for the Colts in 2024.


Franklin, Troy - DEN

Franklin, Troy

Troy Franklin underwhelming in loss Thursday

Troy Franklin caught two passes for 25 yards in Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Broncos weren't able to get Franklin going on Thursday. He caught just two passes against the Chargers, and he wasn't able to do much with either of them. The rookie will remain off of the fantasy radar for the remainder of the season.


Corley, Malachi - NYJ

Corley, Malachi

Malachi Corley 'still has ways to go' from offensive perspective

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Malachi Corley “still has a way to go from an offensive perspective.”

Corley did not see the field on Sunday despite being active. He will hope to earn a larger role next season.


Cowing, Jacob - SF

Cowing, Jacob

Jacob Cowing seeing first-team reps at OTAs

Jacob Cowing was seeing first-team reps with the offense at 49ers OTAs on Thursday.

Cowing got the opportunity with Brandon Aiyuk still rehabbing and Ricky Pearsall now battling a hamstring injury himself. The second-year receiver out of Arizona played a very limited role on the offense last season. He could see more snaps on offense this year to go along with a role as a returner on special teams. He remains a stash in dynasty leagues.


Means, Bub - NO

Means, Bub

Bub Means (ankle) not spotted at practice Friday

Bub Means (ankle) was not spotted at practice for the Saints on Friday.

The rookie appears to have missed New Orleans' practice on Friday. He was not spotted during the open portion of practice, and he's been dealing with a nagging ankle injury recently. He seems to be at real risk of missing Monday's game against Green Bay.


McMillan, Jalen - TB

McMillan, Jalen

Jalen McMillan caught fire late in his rookie year, posting five straight games with 51+ receiving yards, racking up 24 catches for 316 yards and 7 touchdowns over that stretch. He earned a 19% target share during that span and looked like a rising star in Tampa Bay's offense heading into 2025. However, the road ahead is far less clear.
With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both returning - and first-round pick from Ohio State Emeka Egbuka now added to the mix - McMillan faces even steeper competition for targets than he did a season ago.


Wilson, Johnny - PHI

Wilson, Johnny

Johnny Wilson (illness) officially active for Week 15

Eagles WR Johnny Wilson (illness) is officially active for Week 15.

Wilson was considered questionable after appearing on the injury report Friday with an illness. He will suit up against the Steelers, but remains off the fantasy radar for now.


Austin Jr., Kevin - NO

Austin Jr., Kevin


Mitchell, Adonai - IND

Mitchell, Adonai

Adonai Mitchell is a dark-horse Year 2 breakout candidate after flashing elite efficiency in limited action as a rookie. He posted a 28% target rate per route run - a mark that would've ranked top-20 among WRs if he had qualified - and consistently created separation in his routes. The challenge in 2025 will be earning more consistent playing time in a crowded Colts receiver room featuring Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and deep threat Alec Pierce. But with his ability to command targets and get open, Mitchell is a strong upside stash who could explode with an expanded role.


McCaffrey, Luke - WAS

McCaffrey, Luke

Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) limited again Thursday

Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) was limited at practice again on Thursday.

McCaffrey was once again limited on Thursday. He's battling a shoulder injury right now, and it remains to be seen if he will play through it this weekend. He doesn't see many targets on Washington's offense, so his availability doesn't carry much weight for fantasy purposes.


Wilson, Roman - PIT

Wilson, Roman

Roman Wilson: Steelers counting on big jump from young WR

The Steelers are reportedly “counting on” a 2025 jump for Roman Wilson.

Wilson dealt with numerous injuries last season which limited him. Steelers GM Omar Khan said earlier in the offseason hat the team has “a lot of confidence” in him after dealing with a serious hamstring injury last year. The opportunity is open behind DK Metcalf with George Pickens being traded.


Whittington, Jordan - LAR

Whittington, Jordan

Jordan Whittington totals 98 yards in Week 18 loss

Jordan Whittington caught three passes for 86 yards and rushed the ball twice for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

The rookie played well on Sunday, leading the team in receiving yards in a close loss to the Seahawks. He showed a lot of promise in his first season, but he may not get a chance to play a large role in 2025 if Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are both healthy and on the field for Los Angeles. It will be worth watching if he can build up any momentum for himself throughout the playoffs.


Coker, Jalen - CAR

Coker, Jalen

Jalen Coker was one of 2024's biggest surprises, rising from undrafted Holy Cross standout to key contributor in Carolina's offense. After leapfrogging both Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo by Week 5 (leading to their midseason trades), Coker proved the coaching staff's faith was well-founded. He ranked second among rookie WRs in yards per route run vs. man coverage (Yahoo's Matt Harmon) and posted a respectable 1.72 YPRR overall. While a quad injury slowed him late in the season, Coker still averaged 7.7 points per game (WR56) from Week 5 on and showed legit separation skills. With Bryce Young's late-season improvement aligning with Coker's emergence, there's a strong case for continued growth in Year 2.


Walker, Devontez - BAL

Walker, Devontez

Devontez Walker sees two targets in Week 17

Devontez Walker failed to catch either of his two targets in the Ravens' 31-2 win over the Texans in Week 17.

Walker has been a non-factor in the Baltimore offense when active, failing to record more than one catch in each of his eight games. The wideout can be left off rosters ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Cleveland Browns.


Hollister, Cody - TBD

Hollister, Cody

Cody Hollister catches two passes in Week 7 against Colts

Cody Hollister hauled in each of his two targets for 32 receiving yards in the Titans' 19-10 Week 7 win over the Colts.

Hollister benefited from the absence of fellow wideouts Treylon Burks and Kyle Phillips, averaging 16.0 yards per reception in his first meaningful game action of the season. The wideout will be hard to trust once the Tennessee receiving corps is fully healthy and is best left off fantasy rosters.


Vele, Devaughn - DEN

Vele, Devaughn

Devaughn Vele scores touchdown in Broncos win

Devaughn Vele caught four passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-0 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He made an acrobatic catch in the end zone for his third touchdown of the season.

Vele's touchdown was a nice surprise for fantasy managers in Week 18, but he remains a deep-league option with limited fantasy upside.


Washington, Malik - MIA

Washington, Malik

Malik Washington makes modest contribution on Sunday

Malik Washington caught 4 passes for 41 yards in the Miami Dolphins’ 20-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. While Washington wasn’t a primary focus in the offense, his ability to secure key receptions helped sustain drives and added depth to the Dolphins' passing attack, complementing Tyreek Hill’s standout performance.

Washington’s modest production reflects his current role as a secondary option in the Dolphins’ offense. While he has shown flashes of reliability, his value remains limited to deeper leagues or dynasty formats. Managers should view him as a depth piece rather than a starter, as the Dolphins lean on established playmakers during their playoff push.


McConkey, Ladd - LAC

McConkey, Ladd

Ladd McConkey is one of the best picks you can make in 2025. He has league-winning upside. Last year in Weeks 8-18, he was the WR11 in fantasy points per game, ranking sixth in receiving yards per game (89), fifth in yards per route run (2.97), and ninth in first downs per route run (0.127). He did all of that while only ranking 26th in target share (22.9%) and 21st in first read share (29.9%, per Fantasy Points Data). If those numbers bump up a tad and the Bolts remain a pass-happier team than people realize in 2025, McConkey could be a top 3-5 fantasy wide receiver. Last year in Weeks 7-18, the Bolts ranked eighth in neutral passing rate and sixth-best in pass rate over expectation. McConkey is primed for a monster sophomore season.


Coleman, Keon - BUF

Coleman, Keon

Keon Coleman flashed big-time potential as a rookie, most notably with his 125-yard breakout in Week 7. Prior to a midseason wrist injury in Week 9, Coleman was emerging for Buffalo, averaging over 2.0 yards per route run and posting +136 receiving yards over expected (recYOE) - the third-best mark by a rookie WR through eight weeks since 2018, behind only Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson. Now healthy and a projected starter in Buffalo's 3-WR sets, Coleman is slated for a strong Year 2 breakout in an offense looking for playmakers behind Khalil Shakir.


Thrash, Jamari - CLE

Thrash, Jamari

Jamari Thrash sees slot reps with first-team at OTAs

Jamari Thrash has been first up as the slot receiver with the Browns at OTAs.

Jackson noted that DeAndre Carter also took slot snaps. Thrash caught just three passes in a limited role as a rookie last season.


Worthy, Xavier - KC

Worthy, Xavier

Xavier Worthy broke out down the stretch in 2024, posting at least four catches and 40+ yards in 10 straight games while scoring 12 total touchdowns (9 receiving, 3 rushing) on the year. From Week 11 on, he averaged over 2.0 yards per route run and 14.6 fantasy points per game - WR8 production over that span. He also ranked 10th in red-zone targets and finished the regular season as the WR21 from Weeks 11-17. With Rashee Rice facing an injury recovery and potential suspension, Worthy is in line to step into a featured role in Kansas City's offense. Locked in as WR17 in projections, Worthy's arrow is pointing way up heading into 2025.


Odunze, Rome - CHI

Odunze, Rome

Rome Odunze is primed for a Year 2 breakout after a rookie campaign marred by poor offensive structure and an overlooked early-season MCL injury. The former top-10 pick was the WR66 in points per game as the WR49 overall. Despite operating in a dysfunctional offense, Odunze ranked 10th in end-zone targets (14) and led the Bears in high-value targets (air yards/red-zone targets) over the second half of the season - but caught just 3 of those end-zone looks, a number likely to regress positively. With veteran Keenan Allen/offensive coordinator Shane Waldron gone, and the Bears improving their offensive environment under Ben Johnson, Odunze has a path to becoming Caleb Williams' go-to weapon. If he sees more slot usage in 2025, watch out - the Bears' future WR1 could skyrocket in both fantasy value and production.


Pearsall, Ricky - SF

Pearsall, Ricky

Ricky Pearsall battled through adversity in 2024, returning from a preseason gunshot wound to make his debut in Week 7. He finished as the WR50 in points per game (7.1), matching Brandon Aiyuk's average prior to his ACL tear. Pearsall flashed big-play potential late in the season, posting 14 catches for 210 yards and 2 TDs across Weeks 17-18 while averaging nine targets per game. With Deebo Samuel gone and Aiyuk working back from injury, Pearsall is positioned for a second-year breakout.


Nabers, Malik - NYG

Nabers, Malik

The LSU product had a historic rookie season, finishing as WR7 overall and in points per game through 17 weeks (14.6). Malik Nabers broke Puka Nacua's rookie WR record for receptions with 109 catches for over 1,200 yards and 7 TDs in just 15 games played. The usage was unmatched. First in target share (32%), targets per game (11.1) and expected fantasy points per game (20.3). At least the trio of Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart should improve the QB production in 2025.


Legette, Xavier - CAR

Legette, Xavier

Xavier Legette's rookie season was a mixed bag - he led the Panthers in several receiving categories but his opportunities rarely translated into reliable fantasy value. Despite a solid 21% target rate per route run, he never topped six catches or 66 yards in a game, and his efficiency was hampered by a string of injuries and inconsistent QB play.
Legette flashed briefly - notably two red-zone TDs in Weeks 8-9 and a few solid outings post-bye - but most of his volume came when Jalen Coker was out of the lineup. The Panthers' decision to draft Tetairoa McMillan in Round 1 suggests Legette's projected role as a starter is far from secure. Legette is best viewed as a final-round dart throw in fantasy.


Harrison Jr., Marvin - ARI

Harrison Jr., Marvin

Marvin Harrison Jr.'s rookie year didn't quite match the sky-high expectations, but there's plenty to build on heading into 2025. Despite inconsistencies - including struggles with separation and contested catches - Harrison still finished top-5 in end-zone targets and air yards. He scored 8 touchdowns (7 in the end zone) and ranked WR27 in expected points per game, ending the year as the WR29 overall. While he wasn't a fantasy league-winner in Year 1, the volume and opportunity were elite, and the coaching staff remains fully behind him.


Thomas Jr., Brian - JAC

Thomas Jr., Brian

Overall, last year, Brian Thomas Jr. was a stud as the WR11 in fantasy points per game, ranking fifth in deep targets and 15th in red zone targets. As good as those numbers are, they still underrate his upside in 2025 if he can continue what he did down the stretch last year. In Weeks 13-18 last season, he was the WR2 in fantasy points per game. During that span, among 72 qualifying receivers, he was fourth in target share (31.6%), seventh in yards per route run (2.78), fifth in receiving yards per game (98.8), and 17th in first downs per route run (0.108, per Fantasy Points Data). Thomas Jr. posted those numbers with Mac Jones tossing him passes. What do we think he'll do in 2025 with Liam Coen at the controls and Trevor Lawrence back? It could be a magical season for Thomas Jr.
