In this special edition of the Fantasy Life Show, NFL Draft and fantasy football experts Kendall Valenzuela and Thor Nystrom break down 12 prospects who are either on the rise or on the fall after the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. These are the players YOU need to keep an eye on for your fantasy football and dynasty drafts who will be on the stage in Green Bay at the end of April!

- Wide receiver Matthew Golden ran the fastest 40-yard dash for a skill position player. Is he a certified first-round pick now?

- How much has running back Kaleb Johnson fallen after running slower than expectation at the NFL Combine?

- Is tight end Terrance Ferguson moving up draft boards after blowing away the tight end competition in Indianapolis?

Thor and Kendall break down all this and so much more!
