Chris Welsh and Pat Fitzmaurice are joined by Jake Ciely (@allinkid) to talk about their early 2025 Fantasy Football First Round Rankings!

Are Ja’Marr Chase and Saquon Barkley locked in as the #1 and #2 picks? Could Puka Nacua emerge as a Top 2 Wide Receiver? Does Brock Bowers belong in the First Round? Is there a clear choice between Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.? Regardless of destination, is Ashton Jeanty likely to go in the first twelve picks?

Our team takes you through all of these questions and many more! Tune in to get started on 2025 draft prep, and make sure you stay ahead of the competition!
