DraftSeason story
2025 · Commissioner's Championship
The middle-round receivers did their part
Hashslinging25 waited until round four to draft a receiver, yet Tetairoa McMillan and sixth-round Emeka Egbuka supplied 285.8 lineup points between them. The season-wide WR slots averaged 11.4 points per start against the other teams' 10.0 median. Tight end was the weaker return: fifth-round T.J. Hockenson supplied 78 points in thirteen starts, and the full TE slot averaged 6.2 versus 9.4.

- Tetairoa McMillan: round 4, 13 original-draft-spell starts and 147.1 points; Emeka Egbuka: round 6, 12 and 138.7; combined 285.8. T.J. Hockenson: round 5, 13 and 78.
- 2025 Championship weeks 1-14: WR 318.7 / 28 = 11.3821, other-13 median 9.96; TE 86.6 / 14 = 6.1857, other-13 median 9.44. Full-season fixed slots include acquisitions and exclude FLEX; named draft returns may include FLEX.
- Rationale: later receiver investment produced used scoring and above-median WR context, unlike the separately observed TE shortfall.
