Welcome to Week 8 of the 2025 Footballguys Roundtable. Our intrepid panel of fantasy pundits discusses and debates four topics every week. We split the conversation into separate features.
This week's roundtable features these four topics:
Let's roll...
Matt Waldman: In this week's Top 10, I profiled Michael Wilson and said he's the most underrated WR in the NFL -- not "watercooler underrated" in the way that the average fan doesn't know much about him, but the stats are on par with top players. I'm talking about underrated in the way Robert Woods was underrated in Buffalo until he escaped to L.A.
Pick a player at RB, WR, or TE who you believe is underrated in the way I described above, and is available to stash at a cheap price now and even through next season, possibly.
David Zacharias: Horton is quietly hidden in the Seattle wide receiver pecking order behind superstar Jaxson Smith-Njigba and 32-year-old Cooper Kupp. Horton slipped to the fifth round of April's NFL draft, presumably because of the knee injury that limited him to six games in his final season at Colorado State.
Our Matt Waldman noted in his 2025 Rookie Scouting Portfolio that Horton is "lightning-quick in short areas of the field and has a massive quarterback-friendly catch radius". Horton's 9.71 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) at the 2025 NFL Combine was fifth among qualifying wide receivers.
Horton hasn't been a major part of the Seahawks' offensive game plan so far in 2025, averaging 1.3 receptions on 2.6 targets for 16.1 yards per game. But what happens as the end of Kupp's career approaches?
Horton has already passed Kupp in Footballguys' dynasty rankings, coming in at WR51. Increased opportunity for Horton is on the horizon, and he's worth a dynasty stash in the event he inherits the Seattle WR2 role when Kupp retires and/or the Seahawks' offensive alignment strategy reduces the current frequency of two tight-end sets.
Josh Fahlsing: The player I think fits the criteria best when I look at my dynasty rosters might be Wan'Dale Robinson. He is currently 19th in fantasy points among wide receivers, and he has had two Top-12 scoring weeks and three Top-24 scoring weeks.
More importantly, I'm guessing he's helped keep a lot of teams afloat, like he has mine, on rosters that have been beset by receiver injuries. Without Malik Nabers, Robinson leads the Giants in every meaningful receiving category except touchdowns, where he checks in second to Theo Johnson.
Nabers will miss the rest of this season and possibly the start of the next, depending on his recovery. If Robinson stays healthy and underrated, he could be a piece to seek out if you are looking to solidify your depth heading toward the playoffs.
Meng Song: Blake Corum is a Kyren Williams ankle sprain away from becoming a league winner in fantasy. Thus far, Corum has a +0.07 EPA per rush attempt (sixth among running backs with 25-plus carries this season). Compare that to Williams, who is averaging -0.10 EPA per rush attempt (37th). Corum also ranks 9th in explosive rating compared to just 28th for Williams.
So far, the veteran has maintained a large role due to his reliability and consistency, but it seems only a matter of time before Corum forces a higher snap share. And if Williams were to miss time, Corum could become a workhorse in a Sean McVay offense, which would mean wheels up for top-12 fantasy production each week.
Jeff Blaylock: Jerry Jeudy is the WR56 so far this season in PPR scoring. He is a far superior player than this. In fact, Jeudy is the WR29 in PPR scoring since 2021 despite poor quarterback play.
The quarterbacks throwing the ball in his direction have been, in chronological order: Drew Lock, Jeff Driskell, Brett Rypien, Terry Bridgewater, Rypien again, Russell Wilson, Jarrett Stidham, Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Bailey Zappe, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel.
Since 2021, those QBs have completed 30 percent of passes thrown at least 20 yards down the field, a full 10 percentage points below the league average and more than 20 points behind the league leaders. Out of the 220 quarterbacks to attempt 10 or more passes at least 20 yards downfield, Jeudy's quarterbacks have ranked 107th, 113th, 117th, 174th, 180th, 180th, 204th, and 220th in completion percentage.
Jeudy's quarterbacks have left nearly 1,400 unrealized air yards on the field when targeting Jeudy deep downfield, according to data from Fantasy Points Data. They haven't been much better at shorter distances. Their collective QB rating when targeting Jeudy is 86.0, ranking 58th among receivers with at least 100 targets since 2021, according to Stathead.
Imagine Jeudy playing with quarterbacks who were more accurate downfield, such as Joe Burrow, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Dak Prescott, or Brock Purdy. Unfortunately, Jeudy's contract runs through 2027, so we're left hoping for a trade or competent quarterback play in Cleveland to unlock Jeudy's full potential.
However, he has a record of fantasy WR3-level production even with a menagerie of quarterbacks. Since he has fallen off that pace this season, now is a good time to pick him up inexpensively.
