2025 NFL Best Ball ADP Risers
WR Keenan Allen, Chargers | ADP: 136.7 (biggest riser)
Keenan Allen has returned home to the Chargers. After spending the first 11 seasons of his career with the Chargers, Allen had a one-season stint with the Bears. It was a decent season for Allen, catching 70 balls for over 700 yards and seven touchdowns. However, after things didn’t quite click for the Chicago offense, Allen hit free agency and his old team brought him back. Ladd McConkey was a breakout star for the Chargers last season, with the rookie going for over 1,100 receiving yards. Allen now adds a great veteran presence to help McConkey continue to grow. During his last season with the Chargers, Allen ranked fourth in the NFL in receiving yards per game. Justin Herbert will be happy to have him back, and he should have a good season alongside McConkey.
RB TreVeyon Henderson, Patriots | ADP: 51.1 (second-biggest riser)
TreVeyon Henderson is one of the most exciting rookies to watch this upcoming season. The Patriots are trying to build a winning team around Drake Maye. They invested in their coaching staff, bringing in Mike Vrabel as head coach and Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator. They also put weapons around Maye, drafting Henderson at running back and signing Stefon Diggs at wide receiver, in addition to bolstering the offensive line. Henderson was a superstar at Ohio State and could quickly take the RB1 role from Rhamondre Stevenson this season. Henderson already showed the type of plays he can make in the Patriots’ first preseason game, returning a kick 100 yards for a touchdown. He will play a big role in the Patriots’ offense right away, and that role is likely to grow as the season goes on.
QB Dak Prescott, Cowboys | ADP: 103.4 (sixth-biggest riser)
Dak Prescott could be in for a big season in Dallas. Prescott missed most of last season with an injury, but is back to 100% and ready to pick up where he left off before the injury. In the 2023-24 season, Prescott ranked third in the NFL in passing yards and second in EPA+CPOE composite. When Prescott is healthy, he always puts up huge numbers; he just needs to stay on the field. One of the NFL’s top receivers, CeeDee Lamb, will be Prescott’s go-to guy once again, but Dallas also brought in George Pickens as their new WR2. There are plenty of weapons at Prescott’s disposal, and as long as he stays on the field, he will be one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in the NFL.
