Monday Mocks: 2025 March Startup ADP (Including Rookies)

Ryan McDowell Posted On March 17, 2025

Welcome to Monday Mocks, where I’ll bring you…you guessed it, a new mock draft every Monday during the off-season. In my opinion, drafting is the best part of fantasy football, so I do as much of that as I can. This series will be filled with all types of mocks. We’ll draft startups, rookies, devys, and more.

Our March dynasty ADP mock drafts are wrapping up and that brand-new data will be posted here on the site very soon. Until then, I wanted to share a sneak peek at how the top players in the game are being valued.

ROUND ONE:

1.01 Ja'Marr Chase, WR CIN
1.02 Justin Jefferson, WR MIN
1.03 Bijan Robinson, RB ATL
1.04 CeeDee Lamb, DAL
1.05 Malik Nabers, WR NYG
1.06 Jahmyr Gibbs, RB DET
1.07 Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR DET
1.08 Puka Nacua, WR LAR
1.09 Brian Thomas, WR JAX
1.10 Brock Bowers, TE LV
1.11 Nico Collins, WR HOU
1.12 Ashton Jeanty, RB ROOKIE

Fresh off a record-breaking contract that locks him into Cincinnati for the next four years, Chase remains the top overall selection in our latest ADP data. His former LSU teammate Jefferson also sticks close on his heels. We do see a change as Robinson has not only firmly reclaimed the RB1 crown but also climbed all the way up to the 1.03 spot, tying his all-time highest ADP rank. Thomas continues to ascend the ranks and grow in value. With the recent departures of veterans Christian Kirk and Evan Engram, he could easily move into the top half of the first round before the 2025 season kicks off.

Things get interesting in the latter part of the round. First, Brock Bowers checks in as the ninth player off the board, a new all-time high ADP for him and the highest ADP for any tight end in nearly three years. Finally, the round concludes with the rookie back Jeanty. This makes Jeanty, who is likely to earn first-round capital in the NFL Draft next month, the dynasty RB3. He becomes the eleventh rookie back to earn a first-round ADP and just the third to do that before the NFL Draft, joining Robinson and Saquon Barkley.
