2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mellott won the 2024 Walter Payton Award as a standout FCS quarterback before hearing his name called in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but he'll transition to wide receiver while also competing for a special teams role as a return man for the Raiders. The athletic Montana State product boasts 4.39 speed and a 41-inch vertical at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, but he may not see many offensive snaps as a rookie behind the likes of Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for versatile role
The Raiders view Mellott as a versatile option who can contribute as a receiver and on special teams, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mellott was a decorated quarterback at Montana State and capped his career by receiving the Walter Payton Award for most outstanding offensive player in the FCS in 2024. He won't remain a traditional quarterback in the NFL and is expected to become a slot receiver for the Raiders. Las Vegas isn't ready to commit to a specific role for Mellott, however, and he could also work as a returner or in coverage on special teams. The 2025 sixth-round pick could also serve as a passer on trick plays.
