The 2025 NFL Hall of Fame Game showcased several standout performances, notably from Trey Lance, KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Isaac TeSlaa, and Nikko Reed.
Trey Lance completed 13 of 20 passes for 120 yards and 2 touchdowns, boasting a passer rating of 114.6. His improved decision-making and execution under new Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh suggest he could be a valuable backup or spot starter, especially if Justin Herbert faces any setbacks.
KeAndre Lambert-Smith caught a 15-yard touchdown from Lance, leading rookie receivers with over 20 receiving yards in the first half. Projected for 3.3 receptions, 38.1 yards, and 0.1 TDs per game, he could emerge as a rotational WR4/slot option in the Chargers' revamped receiving corps.
Isaac TeSlaa recorded 2 receptions for 46 yards, demonstrating his deep-threat capability. With a projection of 13.7 catches, 177.2 yards, and 1.1 TDs for 2025, he may secure a WR5/6 role in Detroit, providing a vertical element to their offense.
Nikko Reed, an undrafted rookie CB, impressed with a pick-six, pass deflection, and special teams tackle. His strong performance and versatility in the secondary could earn him a roster spot in the Chargers' defensive backfield.
Overall, these players have positioned themselves as intriguing options for deeper fantasy leagues and potential contributors for their respective teams in the 2025 season.
