The highly anticipated Rookie Review... Review episode has arrived, wrapping Season 4 with our deep analysis of how this year's rookie class performed against our preseason predictions.

The standout revelation? Jayden Daniels dominated as predicted, finishing as QB6 overall with 367 fantasy points – the best rookie QB season ever. His innovative approach to preparation, including using VR at accelerated speeds to improve decision-making, translated directly to on-field success in Washington. With Deebo Samuel joining the mix, Daniels could challenge the fantasy elite in 2025, though CJ Stroud's sophomore slump serves as a cautionary tale.

Bo Nix shocked everyone by finishing QB8 despite Sean Payton's notoriously complex offensive system, while Brian Thomas Jr. lived up to our bold Julio Jones comparison, finishing as WR4 despite Jacksonville's quarterback instability. Perhaps our most satisfying hit was Ladd McConkey, whom we compared to Antonio Brown primarily for his route running – he delivered WR14 numbers despite early skepticism from listeners.

Brock Bowers validated our George Kittle comparison by finishing as TE1, defying the traditional tight end development curve. Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison Jr. underwhelmed relative to his consensus WR1 status, showing the unpredictability of rookie transitions.

Looking ahead, we anticipate significant jumps from several rookies. Caleb Williams should benefit from Chicago's offensive line additions and Ben Johnson's coaching, while Rome Odunze could emerge as a flex-worthy option. Drake Maye showed promise and now has the roster investment to potentially take a leap forward under Mike Vrabel.

The fantasy football tight end hierarchy experienced a seismic shift in 2024, with a rookie capturing the throne while established veterans tumbled down the rankings. This comprehensive breakdown examines what truly matters for fantasy managers heading into 2025 drafts.

Rookie sensation Brock Bowers claimed the top spot with a remarkable 197 fantasy points despite playing with subpar quarterback play in Las Vegas. His 12.1 points per game performance showcased why he was considered a generational talent coming out of Georgia. However, fantasy managers should approach with caution as the Raiders' acquisition of Geno Smith and hiring of run-first coach Pete Carroll could alter his usage pattern next season.

Traditional powerhouse Travis Kelce fell to TE6, managing just three touchdowns all year – a devastating outcome for managers who invested a second-round pick on him. Meanwhile, George Kittle (TE2) and Trey McBride (TE3) established themselves as the new elite tier, with McBride particularly impressive gathering 147 targets but scoring only two touchdowns all season.

Perhaps most intriguing was David Njoku, who despite missing six games still finished as TE10, averaging 10.6 points when healthy. His monster target games (including contests with 14, 17, and 13 targets) suggest he could be a top-3 option with a full healthy season. Mark Andrews delivered another rollercoaster campaign, starting with back-to-back zero-point games before becoming a touchdown machine down the stretch.

The podcast hosts also delve into the changing developmental timeline for tight ends, noting that rookies and second-year players now dominate where veterans once reigned supreme. They suggest league scoring adjustments that can make the tight end position more exciting and strategic, like additional points for receptions or first downs.
