The fantasy roster foundations have been laid in the 2025 Fantasy Index Invitational. Time to put in the injury insulation and hang some upside drywall.
The first six rounds of the Invitational's maiden voyage are in the books: Ranker-in-chief Ian Allan has assembled an impressive armada of running backs, and a sensible (if less than scintillating) core of target-commanding wideouts; Andy Richardson has begun hammering upside after early investments in a couple of surefire superstars; moonlighting baseball head Todd Zola threatens to show up the guys on the football side with a potentially dominant first five rounds.
With a run on both quarterbacks and tight ends imminent, we make the wide turn into the eye of the draft...

7th Round Commentary
- Luke Wilson: Brian Robinson-Najee Harris has gotta be the absolute least exciting, 'ehhh but I could kinda see it working out' fantasy backfield of all-time. I love how much I don't love it.
Andy Richardson: I had my eye on Najee.
Luke Wilson: Andy's got jokes, boys. Try the fish, tip your waitstaff! - Luke Wilson: Odunze this late. Really hate that it didn't happen on my roster.
Sweet Lou: Yeah, that one hurts. I was looking at him on my previous pick.
Boards: I think probably most of us considered Odunze in the last round.
TPats: Considered Odonze over Hock'. I don't like the drop-off at TE after him, plus I think he's going to be JJM's (J.J. McCarthy) safety net. Also a full year removed from the knee injury, Addison suspended, etc. - Luke Wilson: Tyler Warren as the TE6! 'Fortune favors the bold' pick if ever there were one, Mr. R!
Andy Richardson: Engram would have been safer, but I think Warren might be Indy's top receiver.
