NFL Week 12 fantasy picks – Five players to add to your NFL fantasy lineup this Sunday

(The following article contains a paid advertisement by NFL Fantasy Gameday)

After some heavyweight clashes in week 11 of the NFL season, week 12 throws up some more lopsided affairs, which could be a great help to fantasy football players.

Josh Allen led the way in week 11 with his stellar performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the Buffalo Bills romped to a 44-32 win at Highmark Stadium, with the 29-year-old cancelling out two interceptions with six total touchdowns.

The next best fantasy performer was San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who totalled 121 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns, including one receiving touchdown, with the 29-year-old running back becoming a beneficiary of Brock Purdy’s return to the lineup.

Perhaps the surprise performer of the week was Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker, whose three total touchdowns totalled almost 75 per cent of all of Tampa’s points in their loss at Buffalo.

The other two top performers in last week’s top five were Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals, who tallied a monster 185 receiving yards off 15 receptions, and Carolina Panthers pass catcher Tetairoa McMillan, who caught two touchdowns and totalled 130 yards off eight receptions.

Captain – Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions vs New York Giants, 9000

Jahmyr Gibbs comes in as the third most expensive running back this week, at 9,000, behind only McCaffrey (9600) and Jonathan Taylor (9400), and with Gibbs facing off against the worst rushing defence in the NFL – the New York Giants – it feels like Gibbs will have a big day.

In a season where running backs are lighting up the league, Gibbs is among the leading pack in fantasy football terms, coming into week 12 as the fourth-best fantasy running back.

With the Lions looking to bounce back from their disappointing defeat in Philadelphia on Sunday Night Football, Gibbs will be hoping to put up similar numbers to the 19.6 fantasy points he put up against the Eagles.

The 23-year-old had 12 carries for 39 yards and five receptions for 107 yards off eight targets without finding the endzone, something that seems highly likely against the porous Giants.

Quarterback – Jared Goff, Detroit Lions vs New York Giants, 7200

My ideal pick for the quarterback pick, if you’re a regular fantasy owner, would be Bryce Young for the Carolina Panthers, but Fantasy Gameday picks only count for Sunday’s 6 pm and 9:05/25 pm slates, hence Jared Goff getting the nod here.

The New York Giants give up the second-most points to quarterbacks in fantasy behind only the Dallas Cowboys, and Goff has shown he can put up big numbers against bad defences.

In week 10, Goff tallied three touchdowns and 320 yards against the Washington Commanders’ defence (who rank third in the list behind the Giants), and owners of the 31-year-old will hope he can put up a similar showing against a leaky Giants group.

Running Back – TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots @ Cincinnati Bengals, 6200

TreVeyon Henderson is the tied-13th most expensive running back in the game, which looks like a true bargain heading into the New England Patriots’ week 12 matchup.

The Patriots will travel southwest to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals, and this AFC matchup is huge for Henderson owners in fantasy.

The Bengals give up the most fantasy points to opposing running backs of any team in the league, and the rookie from Ohio State will look to make an impact back in the state where he made his name at the college level.

Henderson is coming off a monster game against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in week 11, with the 23-year-old totalling three touchdowns and 93 total yards, scoring 32.3 fantasy points in the process.

Things look set to get a lot better for Henderson heading into week 12 off the back of that performance, as the Bengals’ run defence looks set to gift the former Ohio State back a huge day on Sunday.

Wide Receiver – AJ Brown, Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas Cowboys, 5600

After a slow start to the 2025 NFL season, AJ Brown has come into his own in recent weeks, with the Philadelphia Eagles improving after the trade deadline.

In week 11, Brown only scored 11.9 fantasy points on a tough evening for the Eagles against a strong Lions defensive unit, but coming into their matchup against NFC East rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, Brown could be set for a bigger day.

Against the Lions, Brown led the team in receiving, totalling 49 yards from seven receptions, and with the Cowboys giving up the most points to opposition wide receivers in fantasy this year, it feels like a no-brainer to bet on that trend continuing.

Tight End – Hunter Henry, New England Patriots @ Cincinnati Bengals, 3400

It feels like a cheap shot to continually pick on the Bengals’ defence, but when they’re coming up against such a good offence and their numbers this season have been so poor, it’s difficult not to keep picking Patriots.

Hunter Henry ranks as the 13th-best tight end in fantasy this season, and his price reflects that, but the Bengals have given up the most points to tight ends in the NFL this season, and that fact is hard to ignore when looking at setting your lineup this Sunday.

Not only do they give up the most, but the Bengals have given up 37 more points than the next closest team so far this season, a stat Henry will love to see.

Henry is a big part of the offence that Drake Maye has led so well this season, and if the numbers are to be believed, it seems likely that connection will continue in Cincinnati in week 12.

Fantasy Football picks summary

This week, the picks are:

  • Captain – Jahymr Gibbs
  • QB – Jared Goff

Five winners from the NFL trade deadline as Philadelphia Eagles soar again

The parity during the current NFL season feels closer than ever, and as a result, the trade deadline was more crucial than ever this season.

Trades have come at a relative premium this season, with the Green Bay Packers’ trade for former first-team All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons the highest-profile move of the offseason.

However, it has been quite quiet on the trade front overall, and as the trade deadline neared, it’s not surprising that the movement continued to be slow.

Parity in both conferences seems close, with the NFC ninth-seed Carolina Panthers and Bryce Young at 5-4 just over a game back from the Philadelphia Eagles at the one-seed.

Meanwhile, in the AFC, the Indianapolis Colts have been the shock revelation of the season at 7-2, while the usual Super Bowl favourites, the Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens, are all languishing from tricky starts.

When marginal gains appear to be so valuable in a season where anyone can beat anyone, these five teams came out of the trade deadline with the most to cheer about.

Philadelphia Eagles

Howie Roseman is a master of trades, whether that be on draft day or trade deadline day, and the 2025 trade deadline was no different.

Injuries have caused issues for the Eagles’ defence this season, with five starters currently listed on the injured reserve list.

As a result, Roseman worked his magic in the trade market again, adding cornerbacks Michael Carter II from the New York Jets and Jaire Alexander from the Ravens, as well as edge rusher Jaelen Phillips from the Miami Dolphins.

In return, the Eagles gave up two sixth-round picks, a third-round pick, and wide receiver John Metchie, who they acquired earlier in the offseason from the Houston Texans.

As the offence starts to find its groove again, their three defensive additions will have to learn the scheme before they hit the ground running on the road in Green Bay on Monday Night Football.

Dallas Cowboys

No team has been more bipolar this season than the Dallas Cowboys, who, on the one hand, have scored over 35 points in five separate games this season.

Yet on the contrary, the Cowboys also have the ignominy of fielding one of the worst defences in the league.

As a result, Jerry Jones went out and traded for Logan Wilson from the Bengals for a seventh-round pick, who adds experience to the core of the Cowboys’ defence at inside linebacker.

At the deadline, the 83-year-old made another splash to add to his strengthened defensive core, trading for Quinnen Williams from the Jets, giving up a 2027 first and second-round pick as well as defensive tackle Mazi Smith.

Not only did Jones reinforce his team’s biggest weakness, but he also did so, and the Cowboys still have a first-round pick to further improve their team at the 2027 draft.

New York Jets

On the other side of the coin of the Williams to Dallas trade are the Jets, who had a fire sale of two of their best defensive stars.

Despite giving up blue-chip talents, Williams and Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner, the Jets now hold five first-round picks across the next two drafts.

Gardner was sent across to Indianapolis to supplement the Colts’ secondary with the Jets acquiring a 2026 and 2027 first-round pick in return for a player who is arguably not even in the top five of his position group in the league.

As the towel has now well and truly been thrown in on the 2025 season, Aaron Glenn and his staff can now turn their attentions to building a young defensive core in the 53-year-old’s image.

One of their first five rounders across the next two years will undoubtedly be used to acquire a quarterback, but the odds on the four picks being used to bolster the defence also feel quite high.

While their 2025 deadline business appears to show the franchise taking two steps back, there is no doubt the return they’ve made on their trades sets them up exceptionally for the future.

Seattle Seahawks

The further west Sam Darnold travels, the better his career resurgence appears to go, and the beneficiaries of his latest improvements are the Seattle Seahawks.

The offseason departures of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, as well as the exit of Geno Smith, left Seahawks fans with a degree of apprehension coming into 2025, but Mike Macdonald’s squad have made a blistering start to the year.

Embed from Getty Imageswindow.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:’NExoAnFHRG5YjEtOTqnukg’,sig:’J7qawiDuVWR4VsE5iwlyJQCTuhKrVDHGDs5Z_MlHdfQ=’,w:’594px’,h:’396px’,items:’2244700858′,caption: true ,tld:’com’,is360: false })});

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has taken an elite step in his development this season, and the Washington outfit has now added a true dual-threat field stretcher in Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints.

The Seahawks have a favourable run in the second half of the season, facing just two teams who currently sit in the playoffs (two games against the Los Angeles Rams and a home matchup with the Colts) while their current record is a healthy 6-2.

Shaheed gives offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak a true wildcat option, with the 27-year-old capable of lining up in the backfield and as a receiver, while also returning kicks and punts, giving this Seahawks offence another dimension in their playoff push.

Los Angeles Chargers

Lastly, the Los Angeles Chargers sneak into the winners category for their eleventh-hour trade for Saints guard Trevor Penning.

The injuries that Jim Harbaugh’s side has endured to their offensive line this season have been brutal, and left tackle Joe Alt was the latest to go down in week nine.

The Chargers face a stacked division in the AFC West, and the addition of Penning to their injury-stricken offensive line could be one of the fine margins between the LA side hosting a playoff game or not.

The earlier trade acquisition of Odafe Oweh also promises to provide upside for the Chargers, who lost edge rush talent in the offseason, but the addition of Penning feels like one rooted in the front office’s understanding of how crucial it is to support Justin Herbert, who is in unbelievable form this season.

If the Chargers can protest Herbert despite their injuries in front of him, there’s no reason why the former Oregon signal caller can’t take this team deep into the playoffs.

Rookies of the Week – Week 3

Embed from Getty Images

50-point demolitions, supposed tanking teams pulling off shock wins, and a media frenzy in Kansas. Has the NFL ever been more eclectic than it is at the moment?

Anyway, let’s shake it off and take a look at the standout rookies from Week 3.

Embed from Getty Images

De’Von Achane, Running Back – Miami Dolphins

Achane was outstanding in the Miami Dolphins’ 70-20 victory over the Denver Broncos, rightfully earning himself the AFC Offensive Player of the Week title.

Finishing with four touchdowns and 233 all-purpose yards, Achane became only the second player in NFL history to have two rushing touchdowns, two receiving touchdowns, and at least 200 rushing yards in a game.

Embed from Getty Images

Brian Branch, Cornerback – Detroit Lions

Branch, who was unlucky not to get in my Week 1 article, was outstanding in the 20-6 win against the Falcons. Not only did he hold his own against Kyle Pitts and Drake London in coverage, but he also helped his team stifle fellow rookie sensation Bijan Robinson, limiting him to 60 total yards.

Finishing the game with two quarterback hurries, 11 solo tackles, three for a loss, and two pass breakups, Branch only seems to be getting better.

Jalen Carter, Defensive Line – Philadelphia Eagles

Carter continued his dominant streak for the third consecutive week, wreaking havoc on Tampa Bay’s offensive line. With half a sack, a QB hit, four pressures, and a first-career forced fumble, he’s proving to be a game wrecker. His 20.5% pressure rate so far this season is not just good; it’s All-Pro level good.

Embed from Getty Images

Christian Gonzalez, Cornerback – New England Patriots

Could Gonzalez be having a Sauce Gardener-type year? It may be early in the season, but if his start is anything to go by, then he is well on pace. In Sunday’s 15-10 win over the Jets, Gonzalez was lined up against Garrett Wilson on 23 of his 41 snaps and held him to only three catches for 18 yards.

Embed from Getty Images

Sam LaPorta, Tight End – Detroit Lions

LaPorta continues his hot streak on this list thanks to an eight-reception, 84-yard showing where he also scored his first touchdown as a pro. He now leads all tight ends in receiving yards with 186 and is second in receptions to T.J. Hockenson.

It’s also a third week in a row for the rookie tight end! To put that into perspective, only two players got on the list three times last year: Garrett Wilson and Dameon Pierce, albeit on a smaller ranking list last year.

Embed from Getty Images

C.J. Stroud, Quarterback – Houston Texans

If Week 2 saw Stroud sneak into my article over Anthony Richardson, then Week 3 was where he cemented his place. The young quarterback had 20 completions on 30 attempts for 280 yards and two touchdowns. His PFF grade of 91.1 when throwing from a clean pocket led all quarterbacks in the league.

Embed from Getty Images

Tuli Tuipulotu, Edge Rusher – Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers haven’t exactly wowed on defence, but that hasn’t deterred Tuipulotu from making his case as an early Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate, and his performance against the Vikings will only help his case. With nine pressures and three sacks in the game, he now totals 12 pressures and three sacks in just two starts this season.

Honourable Mentions: JuJu Brents (Colts), Tank Dell (Texans), Jahmyr Gibbs (Lions), Marvin Mims Jr. (Broncos), Michael Wilson (Cardinals)

Rookies of the Week – Week 1

Embed from Getty Images

The return of the NFL season really had everything. Shock results, devastating injuries, struggling superstars, and outstanding rookies.

Let’s look at my standout seven from Week 1.

Embed from Getty Images

Will Anderson Jr, Edge – Houston Texans

Emotions may have gotten the better of Anderson pre-game, but he was zoned in as soon as he stepped on the field to start his NFL career. The versatile rusher, who lined up predominantly on the left side, recorded four tackles, three hurries, two quarterback hits, and a sack against the normally elusive Lamar Jackson.

Embed from Getty Images

Jalen Carter, Defensive Line – Philadelphia Eagles

Now that’s why he was touted as potentially going first overall! A 92.1 overall PFF grade puts Carter as the 2nd overall defensive tackle, and it’s not hard to see why. In a monstrous performance, Carter had eight pressures, one sack, and one assisted tackle. It’s no wonder that Mac Jones will be seeing him in his nightmares.

Embed from Getty Images

Zay Flowers, Wide Receiver – Baltimore Ravens

Does Lamar Jackson have a new favourite weapon? Flowers continued his strong preseason with an outstanding showing against the Texans, and much like the later mentioned Bijan Robinson, he was making defenders miss all over the place. Nine catches on ten targets for 78 yards led the Ravens, while he also had two rushes for nine yards.

Embed from Getty Images

Xavier Gipson, Wide Receiver – New York Jets

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of! No one saw the Jets game winner being an undrafted rookie free agent, but here we are. He forced his way into contention due to his electric preseason on special teams, which caught the eye of head coach Robert Salah. Now, thanks to his 65-yard walk-off punt return touchdown, he can now say he is the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

Embed from Getty Images

Puka Nacua, Wide Receiver – Los Angeles Rams

If you were asked to predict the only rookie receiver to go over 100 yards this weekend, I can guarantee no one would have mentioned Puka Nacua. With Cooper Kupp now on IR, the Rams needed someone to step up, and their fifth-rounder did just that. 14 targets, 10 receptions, and 119 yards. Job done.

Embed from Getty Images

Anthony Richardson, Quarterback – Indianapolis Colts

Richardson wasn’t perfect by any means, as he played conservatively and had an ugly interception, but he is now the proud owner of two NFL records. Against the Jaguars, Richardson not only became the youngest player ever with a passing and rushing touchdown in the same game, but he also became the first rookie in history to have at least 200 passing yards, 40 rushing yards, a passing touchdown, and a rushing touchdown.

Embed from Getty Images

Bijan Robinson, Running Back – Atlanta Falcons

A shared snap count with Allgeier didn’t count against Bijan on Sunday, as he finished with 10 rushes for 56 yards while adding six receptions on six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in the passing game. Add in five forced missed tackles, including that disgraceful stop-start on an attempted tackle from Frankie Luvu, and you’ve got yourself a debut.

Five Things: Week 14 – Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants

Embed from Getty Images

If there is a way to forget this game and it’s subsequent 48-22 score, then I am more than happy to try it. It was brutal to watch, and I can’t imagine doing this is going to make me feel any better, but the “good, bad, and ugly” theme continues! Here are five things that stood out:

The Good

If I were being brutally honest, the answer would be that the game is over and the Eagles can’t humiliate us anymore. Yes, it’s a damning statement, but after watching almost all of the defeat (thanks Sky Sports for switching to the Dallas game), there really wasn’t a lot to write home about. However, if you look at the bigger picture, there are at least a couple of good trends we can focus on.

Isaiah Hodgins, who seems to have completely taken on the so-called “Kenny Golladay” role, had another solid game, snagging four of his six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown while also adding a two-point conversion in garbage time.

Kayvon Thibodeaux had a good but not spectacular showing (four pressures); however, his counterpart Azeez Ojulari continued his incredible return from injury as he recorded four tackles (two for a loss), two sacks, and two quarterback hits on 41 defensive snaps. There were also sacks from two of our UDFA class members, as Ryder Anderson recorded his first sack and cornerback Zyon Gilbert, who had a drastically reduced workload this week, was also able to get home.

The Bad

Other than some sparks on the pass rush, the defence was almost nonexistent during the game, and Jalen Hurts was able to go up and down the field using both his legs and arm with relative ease.

Hurts, who barely had to get out of first gear in the passing game, completed 21 of 31 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. His first was a fourth-and-seven conversion, which was easily avoidable had Julian Love decided to force the incompletion; however, he went all in on the interception, missing the ball completely and allowing Devonta Smith an easy walk-in. His second came only five minutes later after a shocking punt from Gillan (more on that later) gave the Eagles great field position, and Hurts took full advantage with a one-play, 33-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown.

If the passing defence was bad, then the rush was worse. Hurts, Myles Sanders, and Boston Scott combined for four touchdowns and 253 yards on 31 carries. All three had a long of over ten yards, and they all averaged above five yards per carry; in fact, the Eagles averaged a disgusting 8.2 yards per carry. Inexcusable

The Ugly

In what seems to be a running theme for the Giants, our special teams unit outside of the stellar Graham Gano stinks. Admittedly, Elerson Smith did block a punt to set up our first touchdown, but that was the lone good moment.

In the Eagles’ return game, the aforementioned Scott, who seems to always have a career day against the Giants, had 117 total return yards, including a 66-yard return late in the second quarter. On the opposite side, the Giants’ return game was nowhere near as impressive, with the Eagles testing Gary Brightwell’s ability with short kickoffs that amounted to minimal gains, if any.

The punting game, though, is the real reason for this ugly entry. Though three of Gillan’s punts landed inside the 20-yard line, he will be remembered for one complete lapse of concentration in which he not only fumbled the ball as he went to drop it to punt but then followed through to kick the ball after it had bounced, drawing a flag and a 10-yard penalty for illegal kicking that paved the way for the A.J. Brown touchdown.

Ward of Wisdom

With the stench of defeat fresh in the air, the beat writers started doing their rounds in the locker room, and after veteran defensive end Jihad Ward was asked about the Giants’ recent struggles, the air soon turned blue with his expletive-ridden speech, and for their own sake, the rest of the locker room better take notice:

“It’s December football, man. It’s about who the (expletive) wants it more. You know what I’m saying? There’s more to it than just doing your job. There’s more to it than just knowing the playbook. You have to do more. How bad do you want it?

“Ain’t nobody going to sit here and give it to us. How bad do you really, really want it? “Now is the time where the veterans put (the young players) on that and let them know this (expletive) ain’t no game out here. It’s a bunch of grown (expletive) men. We’re not treating these rookies like young bulls. They’re grown (expletive) men.

“I don’t see no rookie no more in my mother (expletive) eyes. You gotta come with it or you’re going to fold. What are you going to do? You want to sit back and wait until next year? I want it now. That’s the kind of mindset I have and one I expect every single person in this organization to have.”

On To Next Week

I think even the most optimistic Giants fans would have predicted anything other than a loss this week, and the way it went will obviously sting, but in the grand scheme of things, not a lot really changed in the playoff picture, except maybe momentum.

Seattle, who had an opportunity to knock the Giants out of the playoff spots, fell to a shock defeat to the Carolina Panthers, and Washington overtook the Giants into the seventh seed thanks to their superior divisional record.

All in all, it comes down to Sunday Night Football this coming week as the Giants travel to FedExField in what is essentially a make-or-break game for the G-Men. Win, and the playoffs are still a possibility. Lose, and it’s almost game over.

Rookie Roundup: Minicamp and OTA’s

Embed from Getty Images

It seems like an age has passed since the end of minicamp, but the light at the end of the tunnel is finally in sight. July 18th sees the rookies from the Buffalo Bills and the Las Vegas Raiders as the first players to report for preseason training camp, with all players, both rookies and veterans, reporting by July 26th.All rookies will need to maximise the opportunities they are given this preseason, with rosters needing to be trimmed from 90 players at the beginning of camp down to the final 53 on the 30th of August.

As always, there will be a selection of rookies that had starting jobs from the moment their names were announced on draft day. However, there will be a few on the cusp of a starting role or trying to work their way onto the first team depth chart.

Let’s look at six rookies who, after their showings at OTA’s and minicamps in May and June, may have already started to force their way into contention.

Embed from Getty Images

Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers (Round 2, Pick 2)

Wide receivers are frequently overlooked by the Green Bay Packers in the first two rounds. In fact, Watson was the first they have taken since Devante Adams, the man he could potentially have been drafted to replace. He hasn’t shown any signs of the pressure getting to him, however, as he quickly built a connection with the current MVP, Aaron Rogers, by catching a deep ball during their first practise together, before continuing his trial by fire by lining up opposite Pro Bowler Jaire Alexander. It’s a promising start that, should it continue during training camp and preseason, could result in a starting position.

Embed from Getty Images

Boye Mafe, EDGE, Seattle Seahawks (Round 2, Pick 8)

Mafe looks like he will be continuing the upward trajectory his career has taken so far. After starting at Minnesota with limited opportunities, he ended his collegiate tenure with an outstanding performance in the Senior Bowl in which he had three tackles for loss and a pair of sacks, one of which included forcing a fumble. Mafe has picked up where he left off and is already starting to catch the eyes of the Seahawks coaching staff, including Coach Carroll, who said, “He’s really talented. He’s the closest looking fit to Cliff Avril that we’ve seen. ” High praise indeed, being compared to the ex-Superbowl champion and Pro Bowler, and all this before he has put on the pads yet.

Embed from Getty Images

George Pickens, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (Round 2, Pick 20)

With Pickens only being able to play 4 games in his final season at college due to an ACL injury and given that multiple teams were apparently turned off by stories questioning his maturity and lack of discipline prior to the draft, it wouldn’t have surprised anyone if Pickens entered OTAs with a chip on his shoulder. Instead, he put his head down and got to work, making sure he could line up wherever the Steelers wanted him, something he did constantly during his tenure with the Bulldogs. It didn’t take long for him to show the Steelers coaching staff what he could do, making a spectacular bobbled catch on a pass that would have likely been too high for most receivers.

Embed from Getty Images

Nakobe Dean, LB, Philadelphia Eagles (Round 3, Pick 19)

In what could end up being the steal of the draft, the Eagles were able to pick up the free-falling Dean after concerns regarding injuries and his perceived undersized body. Dean has immediately shown off both his versatility and football IQ by learning both the MIKE and WILL positions to ensure that he can contribute straight away. There has even been chatter amongst the local reporters that the rookie will end up wearing the green dot on his helmet, taking up the responsibility of communicating with the coaches and replaying the plays, which would also suggest he will be spending a lot of time on the field.

Embed from Getty Images

Daniel Bellinger, TE, New York Giants (Round 4, Pick 7)

It is very rare to see a midround pick spend extended time with the starters, but that is exactly what has happened to Bellinger, and by all accounts, he has grasped his opportunity with both hands (pun intended). After being used as more of an extra offensive lineman at San Diego State and with the Giants’ signing veterans Seals-Jones and Akins in the offseason, it appeared that Bellinger would have to battle just to get a depth spot. However, he immediately impressed tight end coach Andy Bischoff. “He’s one of those rare guys today that can really do it all. He can block, he can protect, and what we want him to do is get open against man coverage. He can do all those things.”

Embed from Getty Images

Isaiah Likely, TE, Baltimore Ravens (Round 4, Pick 34)

Standing out amongst a class of 11 rookies was always going to be a tall task, but that is exactly what the fourth-round tight end has done. Likely was the second tight end the Ravens drafted on day three and was taken only 11 picks after Charlie Kolar, but he seems to have separated himself from the pack by displaying his large catch radius and ability to get open. In the last minicamp session, Likely caught multiple touchdowns in red zone drills, but one, an incredible one-handed touchdown, caught the eye of Lamar Jackson, who remarked, “It was a tremendous catch, so the sky’s the limit.”
