These bold 2025 fantasy football predictions include a breakout year for Elijah Arroyo and a historic QB1 season for Joe Burrow.

A new sleeper emerged Sunday at tight end when the Seahawks released Noah Fant. Elijah Arroyo is about to become very popular for Fantasy managers. He was already a buzzworthy player following the NFL Draft when Seattle selected him at No.

Michael Bumpus explains why second-round draft pick Elijah Arroyo offers the Seattle Seahawks a skill set that few other NFL tight ends have.

And then there were none. On Friday morning, the Seattle Seahawks finally signed their final pick from the 2025 NFL draft: tight end Elijah Arroyo. This of course comes a day after the team agreed to terms with their other second round pick, safety Nick Emmanwori, who received a historic fully-guaranteed contract.

Fant never exceeded 500 yards in his three seasons in Seattle and only scored one touchdown over his final two campaigns with the team. In a new era with a new offensive coordinator in Klint Kubiak, the franchise decided to save nearly $9 million and move forward with younger options at the tight end position.

In the past two drafts, the Seattle Seahawks selected AJ Barner in the fourth round and Elijah Arroyo in the second round. The addition of Barner was a warning to Noah Fant, and the addition of Arroyo sealed his fate.
