Moliki Matavao

New Orleans Saints have selected former UCLA tight end Moliki Matavao in the 7th round, 248 overall.  Matavao generated a lot of buzz ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft after a standout Senior season and a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.  Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 263 pounds, Matavao combines size with athleticism, making him a compelling prospect for fantasy football.  In 2024 he recorded 41 receptions for 506 yards and 2 touchdowns, leading the Bruins in both categories.

Matavao’s size and hands make him a red zone threat, and his versatility allows him to line up in various positions.  While he may need time to develop his blocking and route running at the next level, his receiving upside makes him a sleeper pick in dynasty leagues.
