1076: Analyzing 2025's Biggest Misses

1075: The Death of the Fantasy Football WR2

It was a weird fantasy football season for wide receivers. Especially WR2s. I’m back with the Late-Round Podcast to investigate what’s been happening at the position, and why 2025 felt so weird. open.spotify.com/episode/2lkL...

I wouldnt trot CJ Stroud back out there but I also live in my parents basement

Yes, and Mahomes is arguably the greatest quarterback of all time talent-wise. We should never say “Well Mahomes did it, so…” as reason to build a team that way

And if Mecole Hardman doesn’t drop that pass, and if Brandin Cooks keeps running on a dime, and if Cooks comes down with that catch… we can play this game all day. When you give a quarterback little to play with, you’re playing with fire. You need flawless execution.

Yes. I’m not saying he played flawlessly. But this is exactly the point. I don’t think fans realize how insane it is to be trotting out Brandin Cooks and Mecole Hardman out of 11 personnel in the year 2026

This is the problem! He has to be flawless! The fact they were so close to winning tells you enough. He had a mid game by his standards, but they win with competent wide receivers.

Excited to watch Josh Allen throw to Allen Lazard and Kalif Raymond next year to fix this problem that’s evident to every person on earth outside of the Bills front office

Chuck Noll was hired at 37 years old.
Bill Cowher was hired at 34 years old.
Mike Tomlin was hired at 34 years old.

Fully expecting a younger hire for Pittsburgh.

Look, man. I'm gonna be a fan for a second. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. Been a Steeler fan my whole life, even if that fandom looks different these days. Mike Tomlin brought me a lot of great memories, and I hope he crushes whatever's next. But this was necessary.

The definition of insanity is keeping Mike Tomlin around for another year.

That’s now 542 straight fourth-down decisions where Troy Aikman would “take the points”

Jauan Jennings is an interesting free agent quarterback option for the Jets

Me dropping off the kids at school today after they were home for two weeks

This is one of the dumbest, greatest games I’ve ever watched

😂 😂 Hope you’re well, man!

Yes for sure

The only way to properly win your home league championship is to make a video the following day and send it to your leaguemates without commentary

Clearly some of this doesn't account totally for games played (Eg, Harold Fannin was almost definitely more valuable than Tucker Kraft), but, still, a fun thing to look at now that the fantasy season is over.

And tight end (PPR):

Here's wide receiver (PPR):

This is what it looks like at running back (PPR):

On a points per game basis (4 points per TD, -2 per INT), here are the best and worst quarterback values -- within this methodology -- of the 2025 fantasy season. Keep in mind, these are only drafted players via Fantasy Data ADP data. (So no Jacoby Brissett.)

When I look at the biggest values and busts in fantasy football each year, I look at them versus ADP expectation. That is, how many points we'd expect that player to score at his price versus how many he actually scored. This is based on how players have scored since 2014.
