        The Chiefs selected Utah State WR Jalen Royals with the 133rd pick of Round Four in the 2025 NFL Draft. A two-year performer at Utah State, Royals averaged 6.3 catches, 95.7 yards, and 1.05 TDs per game across 20 appearances. This past fall, Royals totaled 55-834-6 in only seven games. His season was cut short by a foot injury. Royals helped push up his draft stock with an excellent performance at the Senior Bowl. He excelled in creating separation and making difficult catches. At nearly 6’0, 200 pounds, Royals’ Senior Bowl lines up with his film. He had a 9.00 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 32nd among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 17.9%, and 17th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 80.6. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 20.5. He ranked ninth among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 7.13. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Pierre Garcon. It’s easy to observe him as a dangerous run-after-catch threat.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Royals ability after the catch makes him a true weapon, even though he is raw.

        Rashee Rice long term insurance, Royals will struggle to crack the lineup as a rookie though

        Dynasty Impact

        Royals could be an intriguing long term option. 

        Hollywood Brown is on a year deal, and Rice himself could be suspended in 2026.

        Royals is an intriguing third round rookie pick with big upside being paired with Patrick Mahomes.
