OUTCOME Jeanty finished the 2025 season with 975 rushing yards and ~266 receiving yards for approximately 1,241 total yards from scrimmage — roughly 460 yards short of the 1,700-yard projection. The Raiders' historically bad offensive line and constant lineup instability severely limited his production, and the prediction clearly did not pan out.

OUTCOME The three-player group had wildly divergent outcomes. Tyler Warren was the clear win, finishing as TE5/TE6 with 76 catches for 817 yards and 4 TDs (TE6 in half-PPR), validating the target-volume-with-young-QB thesis. Evan Engram badly missed, finishing as the TE29 with just 50 catches for 461 yards and 1 TD in Denver — the 'joker' role never materialized and he played under 50% of offensive snaps in most games. David Njoku was a bust too, ceding targets to rookie Harold Fannin Jr. and finishing with only 33 catches for 293 yards and 4 TDs in 12 games before a season-ending knee injury — far from 'Kittle lite' production. One out of three produced as advertised, making this take largely a miss as a cohesive round-8 TE strategy.

OUTCOME Ertz was drafted at ADP 141.5 (a very late-round pick, not rounds 1-3), which makes the formal bust-call criteria technically inapplicable — he was never a top-36 pick. Within the spirit of the call, however, Ertz largely defied the bearish prediction: he finished as the TE19 overall in PPR leagues with 50 catches for 504 yards and 4 TDs across 13 games before suffering a season-ending ACL tear in Week 14. While he fell short of elite TE1 production, he was a functional, roster-worthy fantasy contributor for most of the season — not the bust Dynasty Dad implied.

OUTCOME Jeanty did deliver true workhorse volume (321 touches, first in opportunity share, 266 carries + 55 receptions) and avoided a backfield timeshare, validating the 'workhorse' and 'elite opportunity' angles of the prediction. However, the 'league-winning upside' and 'elite weekly floor' claims largely fell flat — he finished as just the RB13–RB17 (depending on format) in fantasy points per game, with only three games over 20 fantasy points, dragged down by the NFL's worst offensive line, a 3-14 team record, and a pedestrian 3.7 yards per carry. He was generally viewed as a disappointment relative to his ADP of 9.5, not the title-winner the expert projected.
