3 Rookie WRs Who Could Break Fantasy This Year

These wideouts might be unknown now to most of your leaguemates… but they won’t be for long:

Kyle Williams – New England Patriots

Williams transferred to Washington State in 2024 and posted:

• 1198 yards

• 14 touchdowns

• 17.1 yards per reception

He dominated ranked teams, dropped 0 passes vs man, and had an elite 135 QB rating when targeted.

The Patriots took him in the 3rd round. Behind Stefon Diggs the WR2 job is wide open for Williams to take…

Tory Horton – Seattle Seahawks

Before a knee injury, Horton was one of the top WRs in college. In 2023 he caught 96 catches for 1136 yards and 8 TDs.

Even in a shortened 2024, he flashed. He runs a 4.41 40-time and graded elite vs man, press, and zone according to Reception Perception.

Seattle lost DK Metcalf this offseason. Horton’s main competition for starting snaps? MVS. And if Cooper Kupp misses time, Horton could become the WR2 behind JSN…

Jack Bech – Las Vegas Raiders

Bech broke out at TCU in 2024:

• 1 drop on 91 targets

• 1034 yards

• 9 TDs

Then he won MVP at the Senior Bowl.

He’s 6'1, 214 pounds and ranked in the Top 10% in contested catch rate, broken tackles, and press success.

The Raiders took him in the 2nd round. Bech could start alongside Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers in a much-improved offense right away…

Bottom Line:

If you want to win in fantasy this year, the biggest edge right now is simple:

Draft smarter than your league before they catch on.

These rookie wideouts — Bech, Horton and Williams — all have paths to real opportunity in year 1. And you can still get them late.

Most people will sleep on these rookies. You won’t.
