Chazmule’s 3 Futures Bets to Watch for the 2025 NFL Season
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, FantasyLineups analyst Chazmule has identified three futures bets that stand out for their combination of volume, opportunity, and upside. These aren’t just gut picks — they’re backed by trends, team context, and player trajectory.
Dak Prescott at +1500 to lead the league in passing touchdowns isn’t just a long shot—it’s a calculated value play. He’s got the weapons, the volume, and the motivation to surprise the field.
Burrow — Over 4,200.5 Passing Yards
Burrow enters 2025 with momentum and a fully loaded offense. After throwing for nearly 4,920 yards last season, he’s proven he can thrive in high-volume game scripts. With Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins still anchoring the Bengals’ receiving corps, and a more stable offensive line, Burrow’s yardage ceiling remains elite. Expect Cincinnati to lean into its passing identity early and often.
Chuba Hubbard — Over 950.5 Rushing Yards
Hubbard has quietly become one of the most reliable early-down backs in the league. Carolina’s offense is built around the run, and Hubbard’s 2024 campaign — over 1,190 rushing yards and double-digit touchdowns — earned him a long-term extension. With minimal backfield competition and a top-tier run-blocking unit, he’s set to handle 250+ carries again. This line feels light given his projected workload.
Calvin Ridley — Over 900.5 Receiving Yards
Ridley’s move to Tennessee has unlocked his WR1 potential. Despite inconsistent quarterback play last year, he still topped 1,000 yards. Now paired with rookie Cameron Ward, who brings a vertical passing element to the Titans’ offense, Ridley is in line for 120+ targets and plenty of deep-ball chances.
Bottom Line
These three futures bets offer a blend of proven production and favorable team dynamics. Whether you’re building a long-term card or looking for value in season-long props, Burrow, Hubbard, and Ridley are strong candidates to outperform their lines.
