2025 Rookie Profile: Cam Skattebo (RB), Arizona State

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Cam Skattebo looks at the Dynasty darling running back from Arizona State.

2025 NFL Mock Draft Banner

College Resume

Cam Skattebo began his college football journey at Sacramento State, an FCS program, after being underrecruited out of Rio Linda High School in California, where he racked up over 6,000 rushing yards and 69 touchdowns. At Sacramento State, Skattebo earned Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2022, amassing over 2,200 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns across two seasons.

Transferring to Arizona State in 2023, he became a workhorse back, but his 2024 season was a breakout, leading the Sun Devils to an 11-3 record and a Big 12 Championship. Skattebo finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting, earning Big 12 Championship Game MVP honors, and became the second Big 12 player ever to record 1,500+ rushing yards and 500+ receiving yards in a single season. His journey from an unranked recruit to a Heisman finalist highlights his relentless drive and ability to perform against top competition.

Stats

Skattebo forced 102 missed tackles in 2024 (second only to Ashton Jeanty among FBS running backs) and posted seven 100+ yard rushing games, including a 262-yard performance against Mississippi State, the second-highest single-game rushing total in Arizona State history.

Sacramento State (2021-2022): 252 rushes, 1,892 yards (7.5 YPC), 13 TDs; 31 receptions, 371 yards, 3 TDs.

Arizona State (2023): 164 rushes, 783 yards (4.8 YPC), 9 TDs; 24 receptions, 286 yards, 1 TD.

Arizona State (2024): 293 rushes, 1,711 yards (5.8 YPC), 21 TDs; 45 receptions, 605 yards, 3 TDs; 2,316 total scrimmage yards, 24 total TDs.

Notable Game (2024 College Football Playoff vs. Texas): 30 carries, 143 yards, 2 rushing TDs; 8 receptions, 99 yards; 42-yard passing TD; battled flu-like symptoms to lead a comeback attempt.

 

Measurables

Skattebo’s elite burst was evident in his vertical and broad jump numbers, which ranked among the best for running backs at the 2025 NFL Combine. However, his 40-yard dash time was one of the slowest among his peers, raising concerns about his long speed in the NFL.

Height: 5’9 1/2”

Weight: 219 lbs

Arm Length: 29 7/8”

He set the Hawkeyes’ freshman rushing record in 2022 with 779 yards. He battled injuries in 2023 and exploded in 2024, earning First-Team All-Big Ten, Big Ten Running Back of the Year, and Second-Team AP All-American honors. A finalist for the Doak Walker Award, Johnson declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.

2025 Rookie Profile: Emeka Egbuka (WR) Ohio State

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Emeka Egbuka looks at our No. 2 wideout in the 2025 NFL Draft class.

2025 NFL Mock Draft Banner

Emeka Egbuka, a standout wide receiver from Ohio State, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the most polished and dependable prospects in his class. Ohio State has earned the moniker “Wide Receiver U” by consistently producing elite NFL talent, including Marvin Harrison Jr. (2024 No. 4 overall pick), Garrett Wilson (2022 No. 10 overall), Chris Olave (2022 No. 11 overall), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2023 No. 20 overall).

Egbuka follows in their footsteps, bringing a technically refined skill set, high football IQ, and a track record of production in big moments. While he may lack the elite physical traits of some peers, his savvy route running, reliable hands, and versatility make him a high-floor prospect poised to contribute early in his NFL career.

Resume

High School: Steilacoom High School (DuPont, WA), consensus five-star recruit, No. 1 WR and No. 9 overall player in 2021 class (247Sports). Named Washington Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior, amassing 199 receptions, 3,987 yards, and 61 TDs over his prep career, including a record-setting 18-catch state championship game.

College: Ohio State (2021–2024), early enrollee, played alongside NFL-bound receivers like Harrison, Wilson, Olave, and Smith-Njigba. Became Ohio State’s all-time leader in career receptions (205). Helped lead Ohio State to the 2024 National Championship, with six receptions in the title game. Earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2022.

Other: Showed special-teams value as a freshman, leading the Big Ten in kickoff return average (29.0 yards per return). Team captain in 2024, demonstrating leadership and toughness.

College Stats

2021 (Freshman): 11 games, 9 receptions, 191 yards (21.2 YPC), 0 TDs; 20 kickoff returns for 580 yards (29.0 avg.).

2022 (Sophomore): 13 games, 74 receptions, 1,151 yards (15.6 YPC), 10 TDs; 11 carries, 87 yards, 2 TDs.

2023 (Junior): 10 games (missed three due to ankle injury requiring tightrope surgery), 41 receptions, 515 yards (12.6 YPC), 4 TDs.

2024 (Senior): 81 receptions, 1,011 yards (12.5 YPC), 10 TDs; broke Ohio State’s career receptions record (205).

Career Totals: 50 games (38 starts), 205 receptions, 2,868 yards (14.0 YPC), 24 TDs; 23 carries, 150 yards, 2 TDs; 40 returns (22 kick, 18 punt), 725 yards.

Notable: Against ranked opponents (8 games), totaled 51 receptions for 610 yards. Two 1,000-yard seasons, joining Marvin Harrison Jr. as the only Buckeyes to achieve this feat.

Measurables

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 202 lbs

Arm Length: 31.5”

Hand Size: 9.625”

40-Yard Dash: 4.48 seconds

Vertical Jump: 38”

Short Shuttle: 4.12 seconds

Relative Athletic Score (RAS): 9.27 (reflecting strong explosion and short-area quickness)

Notes: Egbuka’s athletic profile is good but not elite, with above-average acceleration, fluidity, and change-of-direction ability. His 4.30 40-yard dash reported at Ohio State’s Junior Day (unverified) suggests potential for better speed than his combine time indicates.

2025 NFL Mock Draft Banner

Quinshon Judkins emerged as a standout running back, beginning his college career at Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio State for his junior season. At Ole Miss, he burst onto the scene as a true freshman in 2022, leading the SEC in rushing yards (1,567) and total touchdowns (17), earning First-Team All-SEC honors, SEC Freshman of the Year, and Freshman All-American recognition. In 2023, he continued his dominance with 1,158 yards and 15 rushing touchdowns, again securing First-Team All-SEC honors.

Transferring to Ohio State in 2024, Judkins shared carries with TreVeyon Henderson but still delivered, helping the Buckeyes win a National Championship. He earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors and declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after his junior year. Hailing from Pike Road, Alabama, Judkins was a three-star recruit who amassed 3,000+ rushing yards and 51 touchdowns in his final two high school seasons.

College Stats

2022 (Ole Miss): 274 carries, 1,567 yards (5.7 YPC), 16 rushing TDs; 15 receptions, 132 yards, 1 TD

2025 Rookie Profile: Luther Burden III (WR) Missouri

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Luther Burden III, the standout wide receiver from Missouri.

Resume

Luther Burden III, a wide receiver from Missouri, entered college as one of the most heralded recruits in the 2022 class. A consensus five-star prospect out of East St. Louis Senior High School, he was ranked as the No. 1 receiver nationally by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports and the No. 6 overall player per 247Sports Composite.

Named MaxPreps National Player of the Year, Burden dominated his senior season with 71 receptions for 1,174 yards and 20 touchdowns. Choosing Missouri over Alabama and Georgia, he became the Tigers’ highest-rated receiver signee in program history and only their fourth five-star recruit in the past two decades.

At Missouri, Burden earned First-Team All-SEC honors in 2023 and 2024, Second-Team All-America in 2023, and was a 2023 Biletnikoff Award semifinalist. He declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after his junior season.

College Stats

Burden’s 2023 season was a breakout, with 1,212 receiving yards ranking third in Missouri single-season history and five consecutive 100+ yard games, a feat only one other Tiger has achieved. His 2024 production dropped due to a combination of shoulder/arm injuries, an undisclosed illness, and a regressed Missouri passing game (team passing yards fell from 3,671 in 2023 to 2,535 in 2024). Despite this, he maintained an 85.9% catch rate and faced heavier defensive attention.

2022 (Freshman): 45 receptions, 375 yards (8.3 YPC), 6 receiving TDs; 18 rushes, 88 yards (4.9 YPC), 2 rushing TDs; 24 punt returns, 251 yards (10.5 avg), 1 punt-return TD

2023 (Sophomore): 86 receptions, 1,212 yards (14.1 YPC), 9 TDs; 13 rushes, 75 yards (5.8 YPC); started all 13 games

2024 (Junior): 61 receptions, 676 yards (11.1 YPC), 6 TDs; 9 rushes, 115 yards (12.8 YPC), 2 TDs; started 10 of 12 games

Career Totals: 192 receptions, 2,263 yards (11.8 YPC), 21 TDs; 40 rushes, 278 yards (7.0 YPC), 4 TDs; 24 punt returns, 251 yards (10.5 avg), 1 TD

Measurables

Burden’s measurables reflect a compact, explosive athlete. His below-average height and arm length limit his catch radius, but his elite speed and agility shine in open-field scenarios. Smaller hands are a minor concern, though his drop rate (3.5% over his final two seasons) suggests reliable ball skills.

Height: 5-11

Weight: 206 pounds

Arm Length: 31.25”

Hand Size: 8.5”

40-Yard Dash: 4.41 seconds (95th percentile)

10-Yard Split: 1.54 seconds (90th percentile)

Vertical Jump: Not publicly reported

Broad Jump: Not publicly reported

Other: Elite speed score (88th percentile), 28% career target-per-route-run rate (3rd in 2025 WR class), 0.49 missed tackles forced per reception.

2025 Rookie Profile: Travis Hunter (WR/CB) Colorado

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports examine the reigning Heisman Trophy Winner, 2025 Rookie Profile: Travis Hunter.

Resume

Travis Hunter Jr. is widely regarded as one of the most versatile players in college football history. Born on May 18, 2003, in West Palm Beach, Florida, Hunter moved to Georgia as a teenager and emerged as a standout at Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Georgia. As a five-star recruit—the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2022 class per 247Sports and Rivals—he shocked the recruiting world by committing to Jackson State, an FCS program, under head coach Deion Sanders, over powerhouse Florida State.

After one season with the Tigers, Hunter followed Sanders to Colorado in 2023, where he redefined two-way stardom. In 2024, he capped his college career with a Heisman Trophy, becoming the first player to win both the Chuck Bednarik Award (top defensive player) and Fred Biletnikoff Award (top wide receiver), alongside a slew of other accolades including the Walter Camp Award, AP Player of the Year, and unanimous All-American honors…

As the rookie season heats up and Dynasty Football enthusiasts prepare for the next season, now is an excellent time to trade off aging veterans. Selling players for draft capital is a time-honored tradition in dynasty formats. These Dynasty Rankings: 3 Veteran RBs to Fade will allow you to cash out high or know which veteran backs to ignore in start-up drafts.

This feature is courtesy of Frank Taddeo.

Christian McCaffrey (RB) San Francisco 49ers

Last summer, Christian McCaffrey was the near-unanimous No. 1 pick in fantasy football drafts following a stellar 2023 season, where he racked up 2,023 scrimmage yards and 21 touchdowns. However, after appearing in just four games last year, the San Francisco 49ers running back left fantasy managers disappointed.

Looking ahead to 2025, fantasy players should hesitate before using a first-round pick on the three-time Pro Bowler, who has now missed substantial playing time in three of his past five seasons.

The seasoned running back struggled to stay healthy last season, sidelined by Achilles and knee issues. Fantasy managers who selected McCaffrey early were let down, especially as the 49ers appeared to downplay the severity of his injuries during the preseason.

After finishing as the RB69 in PPR leagues last season, fantasy managers should approach McCaffrey with caution rather than slotting him as an RB1 for the upcoming year. His recent injury history and the physical toll of eight NFL seasons make him a questionable value, despite an ADP that still places him among the top five running backs.

Dynasty League excitement is building at the Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC). Don’t miss your chance to join the action!

2025 CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY FANTASY FOOTBALL OUTLOOK

Rookie Isaac Guerendo stepped up for the 49ers, delivering four double-digit PPR performances after Week 7. The ex-Louisville star is currently the direct backup to McCaffrey on San Francisco’s depth chart.

Grant Cohn, OnSI’s 49ers reporter, recently noted that head coach Kyle Shanahan hinted at the NFL League meetings about adding another running back in this month’s draft: “We’ll see if we add one in the draft, but you’d like to add one every year.”

Though McCaffrey is only one year removed from a historic 2023 season—where he scored a touchdown in 16 straight games—the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the Year carries significant risk as a first-round pick.

With injury concerns and potential competition for the lead role, McCaffrey stands out as an overvalued selection who may not deliver the elite RB1 numbers fantasy managers expect.
