3 More Fantasy Risers After the NFL Draft 🧨

Move quickly on these players no one’s talking about yet.

The post-draft dust is finally settling — and these 3 players saw their fantasy value skyrocket:

James Cook
Despite offseason contract drama, Buffalo didn’t draft a single RB.

The Bills had 9 picks and passed on every option. Cook remains the clear RB1 and should handle 14–16 touches per game again in 2025.

Will he score 18 TDs again? Probably not. But he’s still a big-play threat with little backfield competition…

Isiah Pacheco
KC upgraded their O-line and ignored the RB spot — only drafting Brashard Smith (a WR convert) in Round 7.

Pacheco’s main competition is a 30-year-old Kareem Hunt and Elijah Mitchell. If healthy, he’s in a great spot to lead the Chiefs’ backfield in touches and fantasy points.

Garrett Wilson
The Jets didn’t add real target competition after Davante Adams left.

Wilson’s main challengers? Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, and 4th-round rookie Arian Smith. Expect another 150+ target season…

Bottom Line:

The NFL Draft may be over, but the edge is just beginning. If you’re building best ball teams right now — your job is simple:

Move quickly on the players no one’s talking about yet.
