Week nine of the 2025 National Football League regular season is now complete. Here are the top five rookies on winning teams.
5) RJ Harvey
Even though Harvey is classified as a running back, he is seeing more action at this time as a wide receiver in Denver. On Sunday, he had five catches for 51 receiving yards and one touchdown, along with two rushes for five rushing yards in an 18-15 Broncos win over the Houston Texans.
4) Cody White
The Seahawks wide receiver from Novi, Michigan was on the active roster in Seattle for a very short time period and made the most of his opportunity. White had a 60 yard touchdown catch from Sam Darnold on Sunday night in a 38-14 Seahawks win over the Washington Commanders. Then on Monday, White went back to the practice squad.
3) Tory Horton
Another Seahawks rookie wide receiver was exceptional on Tuesday. Tory Horton of Fresno, California had four catches for 48 receiving yards and two touchdowns. This was Horton’s first multi-touchdown game of his career, and benefitted by the absence of Cooper Kupp, who was out with heel and hamstring injuries.
2) Kyle Monangai
We documented how awful the Bengals defense was in our week nine headlines. Bears running back Kyle Monangai of Roseland, New Jersey was a beneficiary. Monangai had 198 total yards (176 rushing yards and 22 receiving yards) in the Bears’s 47-42 win.
1) Colston Loveland
Also in the Bears win, it was a great game for tight end Colston Loveland. The product of Michigan, who was the Bears’s first round pick, 10th overall, had six catches for 118 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Loveland’s second touchdown was for 58 yards from Caleb Williams, and scored the game-winning touchdown with 17 seconds left.
