HONORABLE MENTIONS
Roberts will be entering his fifth season at BYU this fall. He scored 132 fantasy points in 2024 with 51 receptions for 805 yards and 4 TDs. He’s also received 75 targets in each of the last two seasons. He returns as the WR1 in a BYU offense that features the #38 CFF Coaching System for POWR3 receivers. Jake Retzlaff returns for his second season as the starting quarterback, and also receives support on the ground from third year starting running back LJ Martin. Roberts’ greatest fantasy strength is his Schedule Pairing value, being highlighted six times. The BYU passing Strength Of Schedule features a B grade for season long, A- for first month of the season, and B+ for the fantasy playoffs.
Johnson was selected as a Flyer option for 2025. While the likely WR2 behind Mississippi State transfer Kevin Coleman, he’ll benefit from playing in the #25 CFF Coaching System for POWR3 receivers. Transfer running back Ahmad Hardy brings balance to the offense, one which features a CFF Coaching System that ranks #14 for Workhorse running backs. Beau Pribula is another transfer and looks to have the lead in the quarterback position battle. Johnson also is a strong Schedule Pairing option, being mentioned six times. Missouri’s passing Strength Of Schedule fades as the season goes on though. They received a grade of a B+ for the first month, B for season long, and a B – for the playoffs.
Johnson was highlighted as a Flyer option for 2025. The new Lobos offense features a CFF Coaching System that ranks #14 for POWR3 receivers and #19 for Target Magnet wide receivers. The supporting cast around Johnson is either limited, inexperienced, or both. It’s a good thing that Johnson is the most talented player in the offense since he will likely have to carry the offense on his back this season. Johnson doesn’t have much Schedule Pairing value as he was only mentioned one time. There’s a good chance New Mexico will be playing from behind this year, and their passing Strength Of Schedule gives them a chance to hang in there as they received a B- grade for season long, first month, and the playoffs.
Chester was featured as a Flyer option for 2025. The new Southern Miss passing game features a CFF Coaching System that ranks #7 in Target Magnet wide receivers and #6 in POWR3 receivers. Chester will have help from a deep receiver room highlighted by Micah Davis, Elijah Metcalf, Charles Montgomery, and Tychaun Chapman. Braylon Braxton will be taking over the quarterback position this fall and he will love having such a deep set of receivers to throw to. The running back position is still up for grabs going into fall camp. The weakest part of Chester’s resume is his passing Strength Of Schedule. Southern Miss received a C+ grade for season long, first month, and the playoffs.
Henry was selected as a Flyer option for 2025. The Western Kentucky passing game is always worth investing in as the CFF Coaching System ranks #3 for Pocket Passer quarterbacks, #8 for Target Magnet wide receivers, and #3 for POWR3 receivers. Maverick McIvor transfers in with the new offensive coordinator to provide talent and experience to this offense. Receivers KD Hutchinson, Jarius Mack, Moussa Barry, and tight end Noah Meyers will provide plenty of support for Henry in the passing game. Henry has tremendous Schedule Pairing value as I featured him six times. The Western Kentucky passing Strength Of Schedule got a B+ grade for season long and first month of the season, and a B- for the playoffs (note a week 13 match-up with LSU).
