2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Vikings drafted Felton in the third round this spring, 102nd overall, bringing in competition for incumbent No. 3 receiver Jalen Nailor, who scored six touchdowns on just 42 targets last season. It'll likely remain a low-volume role even if Felton takes over, as the Vikings still have WR Justin Jefferson, WR Jordan Addison and TE T.J. Hockenson to handle most of the passes from young quarterback J.J. McCarthy. There is reason to think Felton could fill in capably for Jefferson or Addison if given the chance, considering Felton exploded for 1,124 receiving yards and nine touchdowns last year in his final season at Maryland. He also stood out at the 2024 Combine, where he finished top six among WRs in the 40-yard dash (4.37), vertical jump (39.5 inches) and broad jump (130 inches). Felton's thin build (6-foot-1, 183 pounds) is a concern, but he may have the speed and explosiveness to thrive anyway -- be it during his rookie season of further down the road. Read Past Outlooks

Joins Vikings in third round
The Vikings selected Felton in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 102nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota's receiving corps gets another speedy addition in the form of Felton. The Maryland product bided his time his first two years in College Park before turning into a starter in 2023 and catching 48 of 80 targets for 723 yards and six touchdowns. He reached another level this year as the team's top wideout, racking up 96 catches for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns. The efficiency dropped from 9.0 YPT to 7.5, but that can be excused in part by a significant volume increase, in addition to Maryland having worse quarterback play. His fit in Minnesota may not be instantly recognizable, but Minnesota could use another receiver on the boundary opposite Justin Jefferson. Felton (6-foot-1, 183 pounds) is a boundary receiver by trade and has 4.37 speed. Look for him to compete with Jalen Nailor for reps this season.

Goes to Jaguars in Reuter's mock

ANALYSIS
Felton's coming off a productive senior season at Maryland, in which he caught 96 passes for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns. Jacksonville doesn't have a clearly defined No. 2 wide receiver behind 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas, though offseason addition Dyami Brown will compete for that role, as will Gabe Davis, once Davis recovers from a knee injury.
