2025's biggest risers and fallers

Featuring Oronde Gadsden, Kyler Murray, and more.

December 31, 2025

Yooo!

Let us be the first to wish you a Happy New Year. This first season has been a fun ride, and we’re even more excited for 2026. The best is yet to come 🤝 

Last night, I asked you: “How many 1sts would you trade to get Justin Jefferson?”

63.2% of you said you would trade ONE 1st.

Best subscriber comments:

  • (2): “One bad season doesn't trash a player's value in dynasty. He still possesses elite skills and also exudes great leadership qualities with the current slump.”

  • (1): “Mid season I was offered Jefferson for 2026 and 2027 firsts and I passed. And I have McCarthy as well. ”

Our take:

  • Anything less than two 1st round picks for Justin Jefferson feels like a steal. But I understand the hesitation if a contender doesn’t want to pay two 1sts.

Alright, let’s get into our last Risers & Fallers newsletter for 2025.

Giddy up.
