Huddle Up: One general manager of another NFL team reportedly told Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Mellott is Julian Edelman. That is exceedingly high praise for a player who played mostly quarterback at FCS Montana State. With that said, Mellott is an incredible athlete who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds, posted a 41-inch vertical jump and recorded a 10 feet, 4-inch broad jump. Mellott is probably too new to the receiver position to make an impact in redraft, but he should definitely be a target in dynasty leagues with rookies draft that last four or five rounds.

Huddle Up: The Raiders do not have many proven options behind Jakobi Meyers, so Bech has a chance to make an impact early in his career. He will not be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues but could be rostered in deeper leagues.

Huddle Up: Jeanty should start immediately for the Raiders and likely will see a good amount of touches each game. He can be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Jeanty could be a low-end RB1 at minimum depending on where he lands in the draft.

Huddle Up: Meyers finished this past season with 1,027 yards and was second on the team with 129 targets. He should continue to see a good amount of targets in 2025 and will be working with a better quarterback. He can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: It is a significant raise for Smith, who is about to enter the final season of the three-year, $75 million contract he signed with the Seattle Seahawks in 2023. It is also a very palatable deal for the Raiders in that Smith won't be added to the group of 11 quarterbacks who average over $50 million per season. Assuming Las Vegas can give him another quality receiver in the draft to pair with Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers, Smith should be a more than serviceable fantasy QB2 in 2025.

Huddle Up: Smith was the QB12 in fantasy last season, but he's entering a mix of receivers a lot less stable than it was in Seattle. He'll be a QB2 in fantasy.

Huddle Up: Mostert finished with 278 yards on 85 carries last year, but he had 18 touchdowns and over 1,000 yards in 2023. He could end up leading a backfield committee in Vegas, but it is hard to see him being more than an occasional flex play.

Huddle Up: The Raiders likely will add more running backs to the roster this offseason, so Mostert will have competition for the job. He has not been a starting running back for several seasons but likely will be part of a committee next season. Fantasy players should monitor the situation because he will have fantasy value if he starts.

Huddle Up: There is no question that Mostert, who will turn 33 years old in April, is joining the Raiders to be a veteran presence and serve as backup running back to whomever the team adds in the draft. With that said, Mostert is only one year removed from rushing over 1,000 yards and scoring a franchise-record 21 touchdowns in Miami. Las Vegas still has plenty of work to do to fix its offense, but Mostert's addition is another move to that end. He should be considered a low-upside handcuff for now in early 2025 fantasy drafts.

Huddle Up: Smith has one year left on his deal at a $31 million cap hit. He leaves a Seattle Seahawks team that had a loaded receiving corps for a rather barren one in Vegas. He'll be a QB2 in fantasy with less likelihood of breakout performances he showcased sporadically.

Huddle Up: Meyers is coming off his first 1,000-yard season of his career, so the Raiders probably want to keep him unless they receive a big offer. He will have an upgrade at quarterback if he remains with the Raiders and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most leagues.

Huddle Up: The Seahawks will now join the teams looking for a quarterback this offseason, so fantasy players should monitor the situation over the next few weeks. The Seahawks probably will be without Smith, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf next season, and their starting quarterback in 2025 likely will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Huddle Up: With Brock Bowers instantly becoming a star at the tight end position, Mayer has become more than expendable for the Raiders. Even if Mayer changes teams, it is hard to imagine him having much of a fantasy impact.

Huddle Up: The Seahawks probably would not mind an upgrade to Smith, but they are unlikely to get one with the No. 18 pick in this draft. Smith has been good for Seattle since taking over the starting job in 2022, but it is hard to imagine him leading the team to a Super Bowl given what he has put on tape in three seasons. Smith runs enough to be a solid QB2 in fantasy, but it is hard to trust him as anything more than that regardless of the play-caller.

Huddle Up: Jeanty is expected to be a high draft pick and could be a mid-to-low RB1 in fantasy drafts.

Huddle Up: While somewhat expected given his age (32) and the presence of De'Von Achane, the move is still a bit surprising in that Mostert is one season removed from scoring a team-record 21 touchdowns. Mostert is highly unlikely to find a starting job anywhere, but he still brings enough to the table to be a capable backup somewhere in the league. The move could also suggest Miami wanted to clear a path for 2024 draft pick Jaylen Wright to be the unquestioned 1B back to Achane.

Huddle Up: Smith has been the starter for the Seahawks for the last several seasons and is on track to keep that role for at least one more season. He has thrown for at least 4,200 yards in two of the last three seasons but probably will be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues next season.

Huddle Up: Smith ranked in the top five this season with 4,320 passing yards and also threw 21 touchdowns during the season. He likely will continue to be the starting quarterback for the next few years but probably is only a No. 2 quarterback in most leagues.

Huddle Up: Not only was Smith's on-target mark a career best, but it was also accompanied by a career-low 10.4% bad-throw rate. Smith has no guaranteed money left on the final season of the three-year contract extension he signed back in 2023, but he has probably done enough during his time as the starter in Seattle to play out the deal. He will do so this year under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who got the offense off to a great start in New Orleans this season before injuries ravaged the unit. Unfortunately, Kubiak's arrival is unlikely to provide Smith with enough of a bump to move him up from middling QB2 territory for fantasy purposes.

Huddle Up: The only thing Bowers didn't pile up was touchdowns, but he still finished with five. Bowers broke multiple rookie records in what was a historic season, and making his showing more impressive was the fact that Bowers had to deal with shoddy quarterback play. The sky is the limit for what Bowers can become, especially if he gets a more competent signal-caller to throw him the football. Bowers will be an elite TE1 in 2025 and could be the first tight end off the board in re-draft leagues.

Huddle Up: Bowers ended up with an NFL record 112 receptions for a rookie, while piling up 1,194 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He was the top fantasy tight end, and he'll be a bona fide No. 1 option in 2025 and beyond.

Huddle Up: Meyers shined as the No. 1 receiver once Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets. It's too early to say if Meyers will remain as the top target at wide receiver, or if the team will draft help or sign a free agent. However, Meyers has proven he can be a solid fantasy option in 2025.

Huddle Up: The 26-year-old completed 63.4% of his passes for 1,612 yards, eight touchdowns and four interceptions in nine games. He was a bit injury-prone, and it's likely the team will decide he isn't the long-term answer. The Raiders have a high draft pick after a 4-13 season, so it's likely the team looks to improve the quarterback position.

Huddle Up: The Dolphins' backfield appears to be a complete mystery. Mostert has somehow leapfrogged Jaylen Wright in the pecking order despite not averaging more than four yards per carry in any of his seven games or eight yards per catch in any of his last six outings. De'Von Achane is the clear leader of the backfield, but his production typically bottoms out when Tua Tagovailoa does not play. Mostert should remain on the waiver wire in most leagues for Week 18 against the New York Jets.

Huddle Up: Meyers remains one of the safest plays week in and week out. The Los Angeles Chargers come to town next week with a chance to move from the sixth to fifth seed, so it could be all hands on deck there, but that's still not enough reason to avoid Meyers.

Huddle Up: The rookie standout posted a 6-58-0 line in his NFL debut vs. this defense. Regardless of whether the Los Angeles Chargers rest starters, Bowers is as good as it gets for TEs, and he's a rock-solid TE1 in all formats.

Huddle Up: The elevated target tally is encouraging, but Tucker is merely a weak flier in DFS action next week. The Los Angeles Chargers still have a chance to move up in the playoff seeding, so we could see starters play.

Huddle Up: The Los Angeles Chargers are next on Vegas' schedule, and LA has a postseason spot locked up but can move into the No. 5 seed with a win and Pittsburgh loss, so it will be interesting to see if defensive starters rest. O'Connell is a quality option if the Bolts opt to rest and a fringe consideration otherwise.
