🚨 10 Players You Need to Move Up Your Fantasy Draft Boards

The NFL Draft just flipped the fantasy football landscape.

Some players saw their stock tank — but others? They quietly became massive winners.

Today, we’re breaking down 10 players you need to move up your fantasy draft boards immediately.

Let’s dive in 👇

Chase Brown (Bengals)

The Bengals only added a 6th-round RB in Tahj Brooks, meaning Chase Brown’s main competition will be Zack Moss and Samaje Perine.

Cincinnati has hinted Brown’s touches might dip slightly — but he’s still in line for 16–18 touches per game with plenty of targets and red zone work…

RJ Harvey (Broncos)

Harvey is arguably the biggest fantasy winner from draft weekend.

He secured 2nd-round draft capital on a Broncos offense run by Sean Payton. His main competition is Audric Estime, who averaged fewer than 6 carries per game as a rookie.

With better talent and heavier investment behind him, Harvey has a real shot to seize a major role immediately…

Isiah Pacheco (Chiefs)

Kansas City didn’t add a real RB threat — just a 7th-round converted WR (Brashard Smith).

Instead, they beefed up the offensive line by drafting Josh Simmons in Round 1.

Pacheco’s only backfield competition is a 30-year-old Kareem Hunt and oft-injured Elijah Mitchell. Pacheco has a clear path to Top 12 RB upside in 2025…

Stefon Diggs (Patriots)

Diggs walks into a sneaky great situation.

New England only drafted Kyle Williams in Round 3 — a player who profiles as a field stretcher. That opens up more underneath and intermediate work for Diggs.

His target share potential quietly got a nice bump heading into 2025…

D’Andre Swift (Bears)

Swift is a winner — for now.

The Bears didn’t draft an RB until the 7th round and didn’t add one during free agency.

Swift is currently set up as the RB1 behind an improved O-Line and a new play-caller in Ben Johnson. However, keep an eye on potential late free agent signings like JK Dobbins or Nick Chubb…

James Cook (Bills)

Buffalo had 9 draft picks... and spent 0 on the RB position.

That’s great news for Cook, who’s been publicly pushing for a new contract.

Ray Davis and Ty Johnson remain his main competition, meaning Cook should lead the backfield again…

Though expect some touchdown regression after his 18-TD explosion in 2024…

Garrett Wilson (Jets)

Wilson is locked in for another massive target share.

The Jets only drafted Arian Smith (4th round) & signed Josh Reynolds + Tyler Johnson.

With no real threat added to replace Davante Adams’ volume, Wilson should once again dominate this passing attack — with 150+ targets very much in play…

Kaleb Johnson (Steelers)

Johnson landed in the perfect situation.

He’ll slot in to replace Najee Harris’s workhorse role — and Mike Tomlin is known for feeding his lead backs heavily.

Najee averaged 275 carries per season, including 307 carries as a rookie. Johnson has a legit chance at a massive Year 1 workload…

Commanders RBs (Brian Robinson & Austin Ekeler)

Washington didn’t address the RB position until Round 7.

More importantly, they revamped the offensive line by drafting Josh Conerly in Round 1 and trading for Laremy Tunsil.

Both Robinson & Ekeler have clear paths to strong production in 2025…

CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys)

Lamb’s volume could hit historic levels.

The Cowboys didn’t add a single WR in the draft & only signed Parris Campbell in free agency.

His top competition will be Jalen Tolbert and Jake Ferguson.

Lamb is a legitimate candidate to lead the NFL in targets this season — and possibly crack the 200 mark…

Bonus: Javonte Williams (Cowboys)

Dallas didn’t draft a high-end RB — only selecting Jaydon Blue in Round 5.

Blue is a fun prospect but weighs just 196 pounds and doesn’t project as a feature back. Javonte enters camp as the Cowboys’ most complete back — with the size, pass-catching, and pass protection ability coaches trust.

This backfield will be a battle, but for now, Javonte is the fantasy winner…
