2025 NFL Draft Round 1 Fantasy Football Losers: Travis Hunter, Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland & More

Round 1 Fantasy Football Losers

• 🎯 Travis Hunter is considered a slight fantasy loser after being drafted by Jacksonville, as the expectation is he might not be the unquestioned number one alpha wide receiver commanding 9-10 targets per game.
• 🏈 While Jacksonville's offense may air it out, Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. might only see around 7.5 to 8 targets per game, limiting their upside.

Tight End Landing Spots: Chicago and Indianapolis

• 🐻 Colston Loveland to Chicago is seen as a potential fantasy loser due to a crowded receiving depth chart including DJ Moore and Rome Odunze, and the continued presence of Cole Kmet.
• ❓ Despite Ben Johnson's high praise for Loveland, he may struggle to be a top target, potentially living around six targets per game.
• 🐎 Tyler Warren to Indianapolis is also viewed as a loser due to concerns about the quarterback situation with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson, who have historically averaged about one touchdown pass per game combined.
• ⚠️ Warren's target and touchdown volume are questionable, especially with established targets like Michael Pittman and Josh Downs on the team.

Tight End Target Share and Fantasy Impact

• 📊 Historically, only a few tight ends have finished top-five at the position without being first or second on their team in targets over the last nine seasons.
• 📈 To be a major fantasy impact player at tight end, a player typically needs to be first or second on their team in targets, aiming for around 750 yards and five touchdowns to reach TE6/TE7 overall.

Emeka Egbuka's Outlook

• 🌟 Emeka Egbuka is projected to be a fantasy loser in 2025 due to his landing spot with the Buccaneers, where he will likely be behind Mike Evans, who is in a contract year.
• 🔮 Egbuka is viewed as a pick for the future for Tampa Bay, but his immediate fantasy impact in 2025 is uncertain.
