3 Players Skyrocketing Up Fantasy Rankings (After the NFL Draft)
These guys could win your league if you draft them...
The NFL Draft reshuffled the entire fantasy football landscape. And a few players quietly walked away as massive winners.
Here are 3 risers you need to have on your radar:
Stefon Diggs
At first glance, Diggs to the Patriots didn’t look exciting. But after the draft? He’s a clear winner.
New England only drafted one WR (Kyle Williams, Round 3), and he complements rather than competes. With no real threat for targets, Diggs is the locked-in WR1 for Drake Maye…
Chase Brown
Everyone expected the Bengals to add a top-tier RB. They didn’t.
Just a 6th-rounder in Tahj Brooks — leaving Brown in line for 16–18 touches per game, plus all the passing-down and red zone work.
He averaged over 23 touches per game in the second half of 2024…
D’Andre Swift
The Bears didn’t draft a real RB threat — just a 7th-round flyer. For now, Swift sits alone atop the depth chart with only Roschon behind him.
He’s coming off back-to-back 1,200-yard seasons and quietly dominated from Weeks 4–8 last year.
Now he gets a better O-line, plus Luther Burden and Colston Loveland added to stretch the field.
Just keep an eye on JK Dobbins and Nick Chubb - if these free agents land in Chicago it would immediately tank Swift’s value…
Bottom Line:
Most people react to the NFL Draft. But the ones who take action early? They win more leagues.
If you're drafting best ball teams right now, your edge is simple:
Target the risers before everyone else figures it out.
That’s exactly what the Fantasy Blueprint is built for.
Inside, you’ll get my 2025 Best Ball Rankings — now updated post-draft — along with everything else you need to build sharper teams.
Annual pricing is currently 42% off... but it won’t stay that way. Prices are increasing soon.
Draft with a plan and start winning.
