Description
Over the past 24 hours, there have been several significant developments and discussions in the realm of fantasy football, particularly as the 2025 NFL season approaches.

### Quarterback Rankings and Analysis

Fantasy football experts have been dissecting the quarterback rankings post-free agency. In a recent episode of "UNTITLED with Kendall and Amanda," Cooterdoodle and Jake Trowbridge discussed the Fantasy Life consensus quarterback rankings for 2025. They highlighted the top tiers, including quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, who are known for their rushing abilities. There was also a focus on the second and third tiers, where players like Joe Burrow, Justin Fields, and Baker Mayfield were analyzed. Baker Mayfield's fantasy relevance was questioned due to his lack of a rushing floor, despite his impressive passing statistics[1].

### Impact of Free Agency Moves

The Fantasy Football Today team has updated their rankings following the first wave of 2025 NFL free agency. Key movers include Justin Fields, who has risen significantly in the rankings after becoming the clear starter for the Jets. Fields is expected to score around 20+ fantasy points per game, with the potential to reach 25 points per game as seen in his last four games of 2024[5].

On the other hand, Anthony Richardson's stock has fallen due to the Colts signing Daniel Jones, which could lead to Richardson being benched at some point during the season. This move has led some analysts to advise against drafting Richardson in fantasy leagues[5].

### Running Back Developments

Jaylen Warren has seen a significant rise in rankings after Najee Harris signed with the Chargers. Warren is now projected to handle a more substantial role in the Steelers' offense, particularly if they acquire Aaron Rodgers. However, his injury history and size are factors that could limit his workload[5].

Najee Harris, now with the Chargers, is in a "dream situation" with coaches Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman, who emphasize running the football. Harris is expected to have a major workload and is ranked as a top-20 option overall, with the potential to average 15+ fantasy points per game[5].

### Other Notable Moves and Strategies

Chris Spags, in his recent best ball draft stream, discussed various strategies and player values post-free agency. He emphasized the importance of adapting to new team dynamics and player roles, highlighting the need to be flexible in draft approaches to maximize fantasy points. Spags also mentioned players like Tyreek Hill and Trey McBride, discussing their potential impacts on fantasy teams[3].

In summary, the past 24 hours have seen significant shifts in fantasy football rankings and strategies, driven by key free agency moves and the ongoing analysis of player roles and team dynamics. As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, these developments will continue to shape fantasy football preparations.
