  • Los Angeles Chargers chase former Top 3 pick in free agency projections


    Before the Jim Harbaugh era really kicked off, the Los Angeles Chargers weren’t exactly happy with the situation behind quarterback Justin Herbert on the depth chart and traded for Taylor Heinicke. 

    One year later, might Harbaugh and the Chargers go to free agency and sign a former top-five pick?

    That’s the prediction from CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin, who played quarterback matchmaker and suggested the Chargers sign Trey Lance: “Jim Harbaugh has his man in Justin Herbert, but he and offensive coordinator Greg Roman also love to run, which Lance can do. The ex-49ers first-rounder could make for an enticing gadget-type prospect.”

    RELATED: Hilarious video perfectly lays out the long-standing beef between Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll

    Lance, the third overall pick in 2021, had a combination of things preventing him from getting on the field with the San Francisco 49ers before he was eventually traded to Dallas in exchange for a fourth-round pick. There, he did little with limited chances and had his fifth-year option declined, sending him to free agency this offseason. 

    It is hard to know if Harbaugh and coordinator Greg Roman would really take the time to implement gadget packages so that a possible third-string quarterback can add a new wrinkle to the offense. 

    No matter what Harbaugh’s past has shown with the quarterback position, he’s not likely to want the ball in anyone but Herbert’s hands — especially when the franchise passer showed so much as a runner this year when he wasn’t battling different ankle injuries, anyway.

    Regardless, it would be hard to blame them for looking at a 24-year-old former top-three pick at any position, let alone the most important of all.

    The Los Angeles Chargers are making big moves in free agency this offseason, and their latest target is a former Top 3 pick. Rumors are swirling that the Chargers are chasing after a high-profile player who was once considered one of the top prospects in the NFL.

    With the Chargers looking to bolster their roster and make a serious run at the playoffs next season, this potential signing could be a game-changer for the team. Fans are buzzing with excitement at the prospect of adding such a talented player to their lineup.

    While the identity of the former Top 3 pick remains a mystery, speculation is running rampant among Chargers fans and analysts alike. Could it be a star quarterback, a dominant pass rusher, or a shutdown cornerback? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the Chargers are not holding back when it comes to pursuing top-tier talent in free agency.

    Stay tuned for more updates on the Chargers’ pursuit of this former Top 3 pick and what it could mean for the team’s chances next season. This could be the move that propels the Chargers to new heights in the NFL.

  • Expert projections if every QB-needy team picks QB




    With the 2022 NFL Draft quickly approaching, experts have been analyzing the potential outcomes if every quarterback-needy team were to select a quarterback in the first round. This scenario would likely cause a domino effect, with teams scrambling to secure their future signal-caller.

    Here are some expert projections for how the first round could play out in this scenario:

    1. Jacksonville Jaguars – Malik Willis, Liberty
    2. Detroit Lions – Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh
    3. Houston Texans – Matt Corral, Ole Miss
    4. New York Jets – Sam Howell, North Carolina
    5. Carolina Panthers – Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati
    6. New York Giants – Carson Strong, Nevada
    7. Atlanta Falcons – Bailey Zappe, Western Kentucky
    8. Denver Broncos – Spencer Rattler, South Carolina
    9. Washington Commanders – Matt Fiscsher, Penn State
    10. Seattle Seahawks – Kaleb Eleby, Western Michigan

    These projections are based on team needs, player abilities, and potential fits within each system. It will be interesting to see how the actual draft unfolds and if teams stick to their plans or pivot based on the picks of other teams. Stay tuned for more updates as the draft approaches!

  • Most interesting MLB player projections for 2025


    Before every season, we like to take a look at player projections just to see what numbers pop. It’s time for the 2025 editions.

    These are some of the players who stand out this year, looking at the Steamer projections over at FanGraphs.

    Here are 10 players with eye-opening projections for the 2025 season.

    1) Shohei Ohtani, DH/SP, Dodgers
    Hitting: 43 HR, 34 SB, 104 RBIs, .939 OPS
    Pitching: 3.48 ERA, 141 K, 10.5 K/9
    8.1 combined WAR

    Ohtani is projected for a return to two-way superstardom. The reigning NL MVP, coming off the best hitting season of his career, is also expected to pitch again in 2025. And Steamer sees two-way Ohtani as the most valuable player in baseball. Ohtani’s 8.1 total projected Wins Above Replacement — 5.6 WAR as a hitter, 2.5 WAR as a pitcher — is the highest of any player in MLB, ahead of Bobby Witt Jr.’s 7.4.

    After his historic 50-50 season in 2024, Ohtani is projected for 43 home runs (second-most of any hitter behind Aaron Judge) and 34 stolen bases in 2025, making him one of three players projected for a 30-30 season along with Witt and José Ramírez. And Ohtani’s projections as a pitcher are really good, too.

    2) Juan Soto, OF, Mets
    35 HR, .421 OBP, .959 OPS, 128 BB to 112 K, 169 wRC+

    Soto signing with the Mets was one of the biggest stories of the offseason, and Steamer projects him to immediately take over as the best hitter in the National League. Ohtani might be the best overall player when you include his pitching, but Soto’s projected 169 wRC+ is the top hitting projection of any NL player. (It means Steamer sees him as being almost 70% better than a league average hitter.) Ohtani is next in the NL with a projected 156 wRC+ — that’s a significant gap between him and Soto.

    Soto is also projected to lead the National League in OPS and lead the Majors in walks and on-base percentage. Once again, Steamer thinks he’ll have way more walks than strikeouts, which is a rarity for most hitters but a Soto signature.

    3) Paul Skenes, SP, Pirates
    188 IP, 2.80 ERA, 242 K, 11.6 K/9, 31.9% K%, 5.8 WAR

    Expect more total domination from Skenes in 2025. The Pirates’ superstar young ace is poised to take over as the No. 1 pitcher in the Majors. Steamer has Skenes as the most valuable pitcher in baseball this season with a projected 5.8 WAR.

    Skenes is also projected to win the MLB ERA crown (2.80) and strikeout title (242). A year after we saw pitching Triple Crown winners in both leagues, Tarik Skubal in the AL and Chris Sale in the NL, Skenes could be the top contender to do it in 2025.

    4) Roki Sasaki, SP, Dodgers
    3.30 ERA, 179 K, 11.6 K/9, 31.6% K%

    There’s already so much hype surrounding Sasaki. But the early projections for the Japanese superstar in his first MLB season think Sasaki will be electric right away.

    Sasaki’s strikeout projections, on a rate basis, rival Skenes’. Steamer projects the 23-year-old fireballer for 11.6 K/9 and a 31.6% strikeout rate, which are both top-five among starting pitchers and essentially the same projections Skenes has in both categories. Sasaki is projected to rack up 179 strikeouts in just under 139 innings. He could instantly be one of MLB’s premier strikeout artists.

    5) Jacob deGrom, SP, Rangers
    152 IP, 2.86 ERA, 206 K, 12.2 K/9, 34.2% K%, 5.1 WAR

    It’s been five years since deGrom had a full, healthy season. But the projections think he’s still a Cy Young-caliber pitcher.

    DeGrom is projected for a monster year in 2025. His projected 2.86 ERA is the best among AL starters. His projected 12.2 K/9 and 34.2% strikeout rate are the best among all MLB starters. His projected 206 strikeouts would give him his first 200-K season since 2019. And his projected 5.1 WAR would make him the most valuable pitcher in the AL. That’s the deGrom we all want to see.

    6) Julio Rodríguez, CF, Mariners
    30 HR, 28 SB, 135 wRC+, 6.1 WAR

    Steamer sees J-Rod returning to an MVP level in 2025. By WAR, he’s projected to be a top-10 player in baseball, and pushing for the top five — only Ohtani, Witt, Gunnar Henderson, Judge and Soto are projected to be more valuable than Rodríguez.

    Rodríguez had a bit of a down season in 2024, but the 24-year-old is one of MLB’s most dynamic power-speed stars, and the projections believe in a big bounceback from him. A 30-30 season could be in the cards in 2025 if Rodríguez can exceed his projections by even a little bit.

    7) Jackson Chourio, OF, Brewers
    28 HR, 27 SB, 96 R, 119 wRC+, 3.3 WAR

    Similar to Rodríguez, Chourio could be a 30-30 player in 2025. He went 20-20 as a 20-year-old rookie in 2024. Can he get to 30-30 at age 21? Chourio is a special talent, which is why his impressive Steamer projections are pretty easily believable.

    Chourio is one of only 10 players projected for at least 25 homers and 25 steals this season. The others: Ohtani, Witt, Ramírez, Rodríguez, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Luis Robert Jr., Ronald Acuña Jr., Elly De La Cruz and Corbin Carroll. That’s a star-studded group to be a part of.

    8) Mark Vientos, 3B, Mets
    34 HR, 96 RBIs 120 wRC+

    If Pete Alonso doesn’t return to the Mets, someone will have to step up to replace his home run power in the heart of the order. That someone could be Vientos, who broke out for the Mets in 2024 with 27 home runs in the regular season and five more in the playoffs.

    The projections think Vientos’ breakout was no fluke. Steamer thinks he’ll be even better in 2025. Vientos is projected for 34 home runs this season — a top-10 mark in the Majors, and only two less homers than Alonso is projected for — as well as close to 100 RBIs. That would make the 25-year-old a top-tier middle-of-the-order slugger for New York worthy of batting alongside Soto and Francisco Lindor.

    9) Max Fried, SP, Yankees
    173 IP, 3.36 ERA, 165 K, 3.3 WAR

    The Yankees starting rotation already had Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón and Luis Gil, but it’s Fried, New York’s marquee free-agent signing this winter, who’s projected to be the Yankees’ most valuable pitcher.

    The left-hander is projected by Steamer to be a highly dependable workhorse. He’s not projected for as many strikeouts as Cole or Rodón, but his projected ERA is easily the lowest among the Yankees starters. The main takeaway, though, is that, with Fried, the Yankees look like they have one of the deepest rotations in the Majors.

    10) Félix Bautista, RP, Orioles
    26 SV, 2.76 ERA, 90 K, 13.1 K/9, 35.9% K%

    The Orioles bullpen just hasn’t been the same without the Mountain. But Baltimore will get its overpowering closer back in 2025, and the projections think Bautista won’t miss a beat.

    Bautista is projected by Steamer for 26 saves, a 2.76 ERA and 90 strikeouts, with a 13.1 K/9 and 35.9% strikeout rate. Those are dominant numbers. Bautista’s projected ERA, K/9 and strikeout rate are all second-best among relievers for 2025 behind Mason Miller, and he’s one of just nine relievers projected for at least 90 strikeouts. If he’s as good as the projections say, Bautista will be a huge difference-maker for an O’s team looking to reach a third straight postseason.



    As we look ahead to the 2025 MLB season, there are several players whose projections are generating a lot of buzz. Here are some of the most interesting player projections for 2025:

    1. Wander Franco, SS, Tampa Bay Rays – Franco is considered one of the top prospects in baseball and is projected to be a superstar by 2025. With his combination of power, speed, and defensive skills, he is expected to be a perennial All-Star and MVP candidate.

    2. Shohei Ohtani, SP/DH, Los Angeles Angels – Ohtani has already shown that he can excel both as a pitcher and a hitter, and his projections for 2025 are off the charts. He is expected to continue dominating on the mound while also putting up MVP-caliber numbers at the plate.

    3. Ronald Acuña Jr., OF, Atlanta Braves – Acuña is a dynamic player with five-tool potential, and his projections for 2025 suggest that he will be one of the best players in the league. With his combination of power, speed, and defensive prowess, he is expected to be a perennial MVP candidate.

    4. Juan Soto, OF, Washington Nationals – Soto burst onto the scene as a teenager and has quickly established himself as one of the best hitters in baseball. His projections for 2025 indicate that he will continue to be a force at the plate, with the potential to win multiple batting titles and MVP awards.

    5. Fernando Tatis Jr., SS, San Diego Padres – Tatis is a dynamic player with a rare combination of power, speed, and defensive skills. His projections for 2025 suggest that he will be a perennial All-Star and Gold Glove winner, with the potential to put up MVP-caliber numbers.

    These are just a few of the most interesting player projections for the 2025 MLB season. It will be exciting to see how these players develop and whether they can live up to the hype.

  • Wall Street Projections for Key Metrics


    Wall Street analysts expect Microsoft (MSFT) to post quarterly earnings of $3.13 per share in its upcoming report, which indicates a year-over-year increase of 6.8%. Revenues are expected to be $68.7 billion, up 10.8% from the year-ago quarter.

    Over the last 30 days, there has been a downward revision of 0.5% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter, leading to its current level. This signifies the covering analysts’ collective reconsideration of their initial forecasts over the course of this timeframe.

    Before a company reveals its earnings, it is vital to take into account any changes in earnings projections. These revisions play a pivotal role in predicting the possible reactions of investors toward the stock. Multiple empirical studies have consistently shown a strong association between trends in earnings estimates and the short-term price movements of a stock.

    While it’s common for investors to rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates for assessing how the business may have performed during the quarter, exploring analysts’ forecasts for key metrics can yield valuable insights.

    Given this perspective, it’s time to examine the average forecasts of specific Microsoft metrics that are routinely monitored and predicted by Wall Street analysts.

    Analysts forecast ‘Revenue- Intelligent Cloud’ to reach $25.75 billion. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -0.5%.

    Based on the collective assessment of analysts, ‘Revenue- More Personal Computing’ should arrive at $14.13 billion. The estimate suggests a change of -16.4% year over year.

    The consensus among analysts is that ‘Revenue- Productivity and Business Processes’ will reach $28.85 billion. The estimate indicates a change of +49.9% from the prior-year quarter.

    The average prediction of analysts places ‘More Personal Computing- Search and news advertising’ at $3.46 billion. The estimate suggests a change of +7.6% year over year.

    According to the collective judgment of analysts, ‘More Personal Computing- Revenue from Gaming’ should come in at $6.47 billion. The estimate suggests a change of -9% year over year.

    Analysts predict that the ‘Intelligent Cloud- Enterprise Services and partner service’ will reach $1.97 billion. The estimate suggests a change of +2.8% year over year.

    The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated ‘Percentage Change in Revenue Y/Y’ of 10.9%. The estimate compares to the year-ago value of 18%.

    The combined assessment of analysts suggests that ‘Intelligent Cloud – Percentage Change in Revenue Y/Y’ will likely reach 19.6%. The estimate is in contrast to the year-ago figure of 20%.



    As we head into the second quarter of 2022, investors are keeping a close eye on Wall Street projections for key metrics in the financial markets. From stock prices to GDP growth, these projections can provide valuable insights into the state of the economy and help guide investment decisions.

    Here are some of the key metrics that Wall Street analysts are projecting for the upcoming months:

    1. Stock Market Performance: Analysts are optimistic about the stock market’s performance in the coming months, with many predicting continued growth in major indices such as the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Factors such as strong corporate earnings, low interest rates, and robust consumer spending are expected to support stock prices.

    2. GDP Growth: The US economy is expected to continue its recovery in the second quarter, with GDP growth projected to be around 6-7%. Key drivers of growth include increased consumer spending, a rebound in the housing market, and ongoing fiscal stimulus measures.

    3. Inflation: Inflation has been a major concern for investors in recent months, with rising prices putting pressure on consumer purchasing power. Wall Street analysts are closely watching inflation metrics such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Producer Price Index (PPI) for signs of continued price pressures.

    4. Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve has signaled its intention to gradually raise interest rates in response to rising inflation. Wall Street analysts are projecting multiple rate hikes in 2022, which could impact borrowing costs for businesses and consumers.

    5. Corporate Earnings: Strong corporate earnings have been a key driver of stock market performance in recent quarters. Analysts are expecting continued robust earnings growth in the second quarter, supported by strong demand, cost-cutting measures, and improving margins.

    Overall, Wall Street projections for key metrics paint a generally positive picture for the financial markets in the coming months. However, investors should remain vigilant and stay informed about potential risks and uncertainties that could impact market performance.

    How Are Analyst Ratings Determined?

    Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter.

    Analysts may enhance their evaluations by incorporating forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, delivering additional guidance to investors. It is vital to acknowledge that, although experts in stocks and sectors, analysts are human and express their opinions when providing insights.

  • Mitchell Evans NFL Draft Hub: 2025 Mock Draft, Scouting Report, and Projections For the Notre Dame TE


    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2UOzNv_0yIhJdyC00

    Notre Dame tight end Mitchell Evans is facing Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship tonight, giving him another chance to help his NFL Draft stock.

    After a strong season, Evans is widely regarded as one of the top tight ends in the 2025 NFL Draft. Let’s examine his scouting report, Mock Draft Simulator trends, and where he went in our latest mock draft.

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3td5xU_0yIhJdyC00
    Dive into Pro Football Network’s FREE Mock Draft Simulator and run a mock by yourself or with your friends!

    Mitchell Evans Scouting Report

    • Height: 6’5″
    • Weight: 260 pounds
    • Position: Tight End
    • School: Notre Dame
    • Current Year: Senior

    Mayer was a tough act to follow at Notre Dame. He was an immediate producer, and eventually broke the school’s all-time receptions record for a TE, previously set by Tyler Eifert. Then, he went in Round 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft to the Las Vegas Raiders .

    The task of following up Mayer was not an enviable one, but it’s one Evans took with grace as a former three-star recruit. For two years, he patiently waited his turn while providing value as a blocking TE. And then, in 2023, he took the reins.

    In eight games before suffering a severe knee injury, Evans racked up 29 catches for 422 yards and a touchdown. And now, as a senior, he caught 39 passs for 369 yards and three touchdowns.

    Though Evans isn’t as dynamic an athlete as Mayer was, he’s fluid enough to separate independently on digs and out routes, and he can work up the seam well enough with his baseline explosiveness and box-out ability.

    Where Evans truly makes his money as a receiver, however, is with his hands and catching instincts. Evans has truly elite hands — as evidenced by his incredibly low drop rate — and he can not only make tough catches amidst contact, but also contort at rapid response times.

    Without elite short-area agility and flexibility, there are instances where Evans gets tied up on sharper route breaks. Ultimately, his non-elite athleticism does put a cap on his ceiling. And while he’s a very good blocker, he can still improve his leverage maintenance and pad level.

    Nevertheless, with his sound blocking utility, physical mentality, sure-handed nature, and fluid, nuanced separating skills as a receiver, Mitchell has the profile of a very solid TE2, who can provide two-phase and three-down value.

    Latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft Projection

    Evans’ current ADP in Pro Football Network’s Mock Draft Simulator is 97.0.

    Users controlling the New York Jets are selecting him with 1% of their draft picks. The next highest percentage of selections for Evans are 0.9% of Philadelphia Eagles’ users.

    Here is how Evans’ ADP data has changed over time:

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=48FcuX_0yIhJdyC00

    In PFN’s latest seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft , Evans is projected to go No. 146 overall to the Washington Commanders.

    While Zach Ertz has turned back the clock this season and developed a strong connection with quarterback Jayden Daniels, it’s worth noting that he is 34 years old, so the Commanders will need to find his heir apparent sooner than later.



    As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, all eyes are on Notre Dame tight end Mitchell Evans. Evans has been garnering attention for his impressive performances on the field, and many scouts and analysts are predicting he will be a top prospect in this year’s draft.

    In this draft hub, we will take a closer look at Evans’ potential and what he brings to the table as a prospect.

    Mock Draft Projection:
    Many mock drafts have Evans going in the first round, with some even predicting he could be a top 10 pick. With his combination of size, speed, and athleticism, Evans is seen as a game-changing tight end who can create mismatches for defenses.

    Scouting Report:
    Evans is a versatile tight end who can line up all over the field. He has the size and strength to be a dominant blocker in the run game, while also possessing the speed and route-running ability to be a threat in the passing game. Evans has soft hands and the ability to make tough catches in traffic, making him a reliable target for his quarterback.

    Projections:
    Evans projects as a starting tight end in the NFL, with the potential to develop into a Pro Bowl-caliber player. His combination of size, speed, and athleticism make him a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses, and he has the potential to be a key weapon in any offense.

    Overall, Mitchell Evans is a highly-talented prospect who has the potential to make a big impact at the next level. Keep an eye on him as the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, as he could be one of the top players selected.

  • TreVeyon Henderson NFL Draft Hub: 2025 Mock Draft, Scouting Report, and Projections For the Ohio State RB


    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2wYLY5_0yIfFX3S00

    Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson is facing Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff National Championship tonight, giving him another chance to help his NFL Draft stock.

    After a strong season, Henderson is widely regarded as one of the top running backs in the 2025 NFL Draft. Let’s examine his scouting report, Mock Draft Simulator trends, and where he went in our latest mock draft.

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3td5xU_0yIfFX3S00
    Dive into Pro Football Network’s FREE Mock Draft Simulator and run a mock by yourself or with your friends!

    TreVeyon Henderson Scouting Report

    • Height: 5’10”
    • Weight: 208 pounds
    • Position: Running Back
    • School: Ohio State
    • Current Year: Senior

    Throughout his football career, Henderson has confirmed himself to be a prodigy at the running back position. At Hopewell High School in Virginia, he rushed for over 4,000 yards and 50 touchdowns in his career. Even with his senior season canceled by COVID-19, he was a five-star recruit.

    As a true freshman at Ohio State — the school that produced Ezekiel Elliott, J.K. Dobbins, Carlos Hyde, and others — Henderson started 11 of 13 games played. And in just his third career game at the collegiate level, he broke Archie Griffin’s single-game rushing yardage record.

    In that legendary true freshman season, Henderson amassed 1,248 rushing yards and 15 rushing TDs on 183 carries, while also catching 27 passes for 316 yards and four scores. A foot injury limited Henderson to just eight games in 2022, but in 2023, he bounced back with 1,155 total yards and 11 TDs on the ground. This season,

    Whenever Henderson is on the field and at 100%, he makes a difference.

    Henderson’s durability will be the biggest variable regarding his ultimate draft capital, but if teams clear him on medical checks, there’s no reason he can’t be an early-round pick and an impact player on his first NFL contract.

    At 5’10”, 208 pounds, Henderson perfectly fits the mold of the dynamic two-phase, three-down modern NFL weapon. As a runner, Henderson is a forward-pressing brawler with the twitch to warp spatial relationships and the tenacity to capitalize. As a receiver, he’s a diverse RAC threat who can be employed in various ways. His speed and explosiveness serve as central traits across both realms.

    Henderson would have been a candidate for RB1 on my board had he declared for the 2024 NFL Draft. He’ll have steeper competition in 2025, but his profile is still very complete, with the top-end physical qualities to imply dynamic upside.

    Because Henderson translates better when he’s tasked with efficiently working upfield, he’d likely fit best in inside zone, gap, and counter schemes. Yet, his speed ensures that he can provide value in wide and outside-zone concepts as well. Henderson’s receiving ability will also make him a weapon on later downs right from Day 1.

    The biggest question for Henderson and his NFL projection is whether he can stay healthy and for how long. He has struggled to play a full season. Still, even if a team only gets one full contract out of him at peak form, he can be an electric weapon over that time span.

    Latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft Projection

    Henderson’s current ADP in Pro Football Network’s Mock Draft Simulator is 69.5.

    Users controlling the Cleveland Browns are selecting him with 1.5% of their draft picks. The next highest percentage of selections for Henderson are 1.2% of Las Vegas Raiders’ users.

    Here is how Henderson’s ADP data has changed over time:

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0Fj62g_0yIfFX3S00

    In PFN’s latest seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft , Henderson is projected to get picked No. 55 overall by the Los Angeles Chargers.

    Here’s what PFN’s Dalton Miller had to say about the projected pick: “Jim Harbaugh saw how special Henderson was playing on the opposite sideline from him at Michigan early in Henderson’s college career. That outrageous explosiveness returned in 2024.

    “He also might be the best pass protector in the past half-decade to come from the collegiate ranks for the position, and the Texas game proved he’s devastating with the ball in his hands as a pass catcher.”

    Henderson is the No. 25 player on Miller’s Top 100 NFL Draft Big Board : “The nature of TreVeyon Henderson’s injury history might keep him from a draft slot in the top 50, but his on-field ability is worthy of the hype. He’s an incredible pass protector, and he possesses the kind of home-run-hitting long speed that the NFL desperately searches for because of the importance of creating explosive plays.”



    TreVeyon Henderson has taken the college football world by storm with his electrifying play at Ohio State. As he looks ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft, experts and fans alike are buzzing about his potential at the next level.

    Mock Draft:
    In our latest mock draft, we have Henderson being selected in the first round by a team in need of a dynamic playmaker in the backfield. With his speed, agility, and vision, Henderson has all the tools to be a game-changer in the NFL.

    Scouting Report:
    Henderson is a versatile back who can make an impact as a runner, receiver, and returner. His explosiveness and ability to make defenders miss in the open field make him a nightmare for opposing defenses. He has shown the ability to break big plays both on the ground and through the air, making him a valuable asset in today’s pass-heavy NFL.

    Projections:
    As we look ahead to Henderson’s future in the NFL, we see him thriving in a dual-threat role similar to players like Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey. With the right coaching and system in place, Henderson has the potential to be a perennial Pro Bowler and a key contributor to a playoff-caliber team.

    Overall, TreVeyon Henderson is a special talent with the potential to be a star at the next level. Keep an eye on him as he continues to impress and solidify his status as one of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft.

  • Divisional Round Injury Update, DFS Guidance, Start/Sit Advice, Projections, and More


    The Buffalo Bills will face the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE Dawson Knox.

    Is Dawson Knox Playing vs. the Ravens?

    Knox was not listed on the injury report this week. Barring any last-minute setbacks, he is expected to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Bills’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Dawson Knox in the Divisional Round?

    We see a lot of offenses that come without much of a role for their tight end, but the remaining eight teams all can carve looks out for their TE1; that means I’m not venturing down to Dawson Knox.

    The Bills can score with the best of them, and Dalton Kincaid’s lack of counting numbers could generate some interest in Knox, but that’s too thin for my liking. He hasn’t seen more than three targets in six straight games and has seen his snap share tick down to 54.7% over his past three (season: 60.5%).

    I remain intrigued by Kincaid, and with his success in the first matchup, that’s the direction I’m going if I have to pick a pass catcher in Buffalo.

    Are you looking for start/sit advice for other players in your lineup? Read our Divisional Round Fantasy Start-Sit Advice Cheat Sheet for every fantasy-relevant player in every game.

    Dawson Knox’s Fantasy Points Projection in the Divisional Round

    As of Sunday, Knox is projected to score 3.9 fantasy points in PPR formats. This includes 1.3 receptions for 14.5 yards and 0.2 touchdowns.

    PFN Insight on the Ravens’ Defense

    The 2023 Ravens led the league in scoring defense but only ranked 10th in Defense+. This year’s Ravens fell to ninth in scoring defense but fared better in Defense+.

    That improved form held true in the Wild Card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Baltimore’s 75.3 (C) grade was nothing special, that’s usually all this offense needs to win. The Ravens were able to exploit Russell Wilson‘s tendency to hold the ball, averaging their second-highest sack rate (11.8%) of the season.

    Since moving Kyle Hamilton to safety in Week 11, the Ravens rank first in points per drive, first in EPA per dropback, first in third-down defense, and first in red-zone defense (including playoffs).

    Paired with a run defense that has been elite all season, Baltimore suddenly looks like one of the scariest No. 3 seeds in recent memory. With the offense playing at an elite level led by presumptive MVP Lamar Jackson, Baltimore could be better equipped to make the Super Bowl than last year’s team, even without the advantage of the top seed.

    As we head into the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, it’s important to stay updated on the latest injury news, DFS guidance, start/sit advice, projections, and more. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know heading into this weekend’s games:

    Injury Update:
    – Patrick Mahomes (concussion) is expected to play in the Chiefs’ matchup against the Browns, but his status should be monitored closely leading up to game time.
    – Cooper Kupp (knee) is questionable for the Rams’ game against the Packers, so fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place.
    – Antonio Gibson (toe) is expected to play for Washington against the Buccaneers, but his workload could be limited.

    DFS Guidance:
    – Look for value plays at the running back position, as several backup running backs could see increased volume due to injuries.
    – Consider stacking quarterbacks with their top pass-catching options in high-scoring games, such as the Bills vs. Ravens matchup.

    Start/Sit Advice:
    – Start Lamar Jackson against the Bills, as his rushing ability gives him a high floor and ceiling in fantasy.
    – Sit Ronald Jones against Washington, as the Buccaneers could opt for a committee approach in the backfield.

    Projections:
    – Josh Allen is projected to be the highest-scoring quarterback of the weekend, with a favorable matchup against the Ravens.
    – Davante Adams is projected to be the top wide receiver, as he has a strong connection with Aaron Rodgers and a favorable matchup against the Rams’ secondary.

  • 2025 ZiPS Projections: Tampa Bay Rays

    2025 ZiPS Projections: Tampa Bay Rays


    For the 21st consecutive season, the ZiPS projection system is unleashing a full set of prognostications. For more information on the ZiPS projections, please consult this year’s introduction and MLB’s glossary entry. The team order is selected by lot, and the next team up is the Tampa Bay Rays.

    Batters

    Coming off a 99-win season, the Rays shed 19 games last year to finish at 80-82, their first losing record since 2017. While certainly some of that loss can be chalked up to Wander Franco’s troubling legal issues, which have likely brought an end to his baseball career, a blend of injuries and few pleasant surprises also played a big part in the Rays’ dropping out of solid contention. Two-thirds of last year’s projected starters, both in the lineup and the rotation, are gone, making this season a bit of a transition for Tampa Bay.

    For a team that doesn’t spend money practically ever, and coming off a bloodbath of trades of youngish veterans, one could call the lineup projections surprisingly good. There are only a few positions that project to be below average, and even those spots aren’t disasters; in fact, every position on the team projects for more than 1 WAR. That’s a testament to the team’s player development system, which has to continually restock the shelves year after year because the organization doesn’t have enough money in the budget to bring in established talent through free agency.

    Even so, the best parts of this lineup are rather uninspiring. ZiPS projects the Rays to get at least 3 WAR from only one position, second base, but I’m more skeptical than the Depth Charts are about Brandon Lowe’s ability to stay healthy. In the outfield, ZiPS doesn’t think Jonny DeLuca’s defense will be enough to make up for his bat, and it believes that Christopher Morel is best suited as a DH, where he may have the best chance to live up to his power potential.

    But it’s not all bad. ZiPS does like some Rays players, just not the ones on the top of the depth chart – yet. Four of the top-eight WAR projections on offense are players who have not yet seized the primary jobs at their positions. Carson Williams is hardly unexpected, of course, given that he’s a top-five prospect. ZiPS thinks his bat is already acceptable for a starter in the middle infield, and the coordinate-based defensive system I use for the minor leagues thought he was one of the best fielding shortstops in the minors. He’s not the only minor leaguer to get defensive plaudits from ZiPS; third baseman Brayden Taylor also appears to be elite with the leather. He’s not as big a name as Williams, but my colleague Eric Longenhagen gave him a 45/70 evaluation for defense last year, and the Rays have liked his glove enough to give him some run at shortstop, something you don’t do with your third baseman if you think he’s a butcher. Going well down the prospect lists, catcher Dominic Keegan and center fielder Chandler Simpson also get very promising projections.

    Sum it all up and the Rays have a solid offense with a lot of depth and a real future, but I’m not sure the upside will be realized this season.

    Pitchers

    When you compare the innings pitched in the ZiPS projections and the ones listed on our Depth Charts, one conclusion I think you should draw is that the Rays are very reliant on getting healthy innings from Shane McClanahan and Drew Rasmussen. The projections gauge the two as the most talented pitchers on the team right now, so it’s understandable that the Rays would struggle if they’re without McClanahan for the entire season and Rasmussen for most of it due to their respective major elbow surgeries.

    That’s not to say ZiPS hates the rest of the rotation, just that McClanahan and Rasmussen would change the whole complexion of the staff. Ryan Pepiot was the odd man out in Los Angeles, but he thrived as a solid no. 2 or 3 starter with the Rays, who just stuck him in the rotation and left him there. Taj Bradley showed great progress from his rookie season, getting hit a lot less hard last year, and Zack Littell showed that Tampa hasn’t lost its touch for taking other teams’ castoffs and transmogrifying them into above-average starters, almost instantly.

    A surprising number of other pitchers project to be about league average as starters: Shane Baz, Joe Rock, Mason Montgomery, and Mike Vasil. A few of these guys will likely see some significant bullpen innings, especially Montgomery.

    The Rays don’t have the high-end bullpen arms that the Twins or Guardians do, at least not according to ZiPS, but they do still have is an impressive amount of relief pitching depth. The majority of the bullpen projects to be better than average, but only Kevin Kelly and Pete Fairbanks do by a large margin, with the computer not being all that high on Edwin Uceta. If the projections prove accurate, this is a solid bullpen, but it’s probably not going to make or break their chances of reaching the postseason.

    The Rays are a good team, but they likely aren’t a great one. ZiPS projects them to finish with 84-88 wins, enough to put them back into contention, but perhaps not enough to actually make the playoffs.

    Players are listed with their most recent teams wherever possible. This includes players who are unsigned or have retired, players who will miss 2025 due to injury, and players who were released in 2024. So yes, if you see Joe Schmoe, who quit baseball back in August to form a Norwegian Ukulele Dixieland Jazz band that only covers songs by The Smiths, he’s still listed here intentionally. ZiPS is assuming a league with an ERA of 4.11.

    Hitters are ranked by zWAR, which is to say, WAR values as calculated by me, Dan Szymborski, whose surname is spelled with a z. WAR values might differ slightly from those that appear in the full release of ZiPS. Finally, I will advise anyone against — and might karate chop anyone guilty of — merely adding up WAR totals on a depth chart to produce projected team WAR. It is important to remember that ZiPS is agnostic about playing time, and has no information about, for example, how quickly a team will call up a prospect or what veteran has fallen into disfavor.

    As always, incorrect projections are either caused by misinformation, a non-pragmatic reality, or by the skillful sabotage of our friend and former editor. You can, however, still get mad at me on Twitter or on BlueSky.





    The Tampa Bay Rays have always been a team known for their innovative strategies and roster construction, and the 2025 season looks to be no different. With the latest ZiPS projections released, let’s take a look at what the future holds for the Rays.

    Starting with the pitching staff, the Rays are projected to have a strong rotation led by ace pitcher Tyler Glasnow. ZiPS predicts Glasnow to have a dominant season with a 3.20 ERA and 200+ strikeouts. Joining him in the rotation are young arms Shane Baz and Shane McClanahan, who are both projected to have breakout seasons.

    In the bullpen, the Rays are expected to continue their trend of using a mix of traditional relievers and “openers.” Closer Nick Anderson is projected to have another stellar season, while Fireballer Pete Fairbanks is predicted to have a breakout year as a setup man.

    On the offensive side, the Rays are projected to have a balanced lineup with a mix of power and speed. Outfielder Randy Arozarena is expected to lead the team in home runs and stolen bases, while infielders Wander Franco and Vidal Brujan are projected to have high on-base percentages.

    Overall, the 2025 season looks bright for the Tampa Bay Rays according to ZiPS projections. With a strong pitching staff and a well-rounded lineup, the Rays will be a team to watch in the coming years.
