6 Fantasy Football Draft Values: Sleeper Picks to Target (2025)

The 2025 NFL preseason is underway, meaning we’ve officially hit the start of redraft fantasy football season. Therefore, it’s time to do all the preparation fantasy players ignored over the past few months. Many factors go into fantasy players winning their redraft league every year. However, the top factor is drafting players at a value.

Let’s look at six of my favorite draft values based on Sleeper ADP for redraft leagues.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values: Sleeper Leagues

Justin Fields (NYJ) – ADP 150.1 | QB18

While he is a below-average NFL starting quarterback, Fields is an underrated fantasy option because of his rushing abilities. The former Ohio State star averaged 18.9 fantasy points per game over the first six weeks of last season as the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers. That average would have made him the QB8 on a points-per-game basis in 2024. More importantly, Fields was productive in his last year as the unquestioned starter, ranking as the QB9 on a points-per-game basis in 2023 among quarterbacks with at least nine games played.

Christian McCaffrey (SF) – ADP 12.3 | RB6

Unfortunately, McCaffrey missed 13 games last season because of Achilles tendinitis and a PCL sprain. While the superstar comes with injury risk, he remains one of the top running backs in fantasy football and the NFL. McCaffrey was the RB1 in 2023, averaging 24.5 PPR fantasy points per game, 3.3 more than any other running back, and the most in fantasy football. While his days as the clear-cut RB1 are over, the superstar has too much upside to get drafted outside the top 10 picks despite the injury risk.

J.K. Dobbins (DEN) – ADP 111.4 | RB37

Many fantasy players still have high hopes for RJ Harvey despite the Dobbins signing. Yet, the veteran’s ADP is the better value, nearly four rounds later and 14 running back spots after the rookie. After missing 82.4% of the games over the previous three years with injuries, Dobbins mostly stayed healthy in 2024. He finished as the RB24, averaging 14.8 PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Dobbins’ 5.1% explosive run rate ranked 12th out of 31 running backs with at least 150 rushing attempts last season (per Fantasy Points Data).

Keon Coleman (BUF) – ADP 122.5 | WR52

The former Florida State star had four receiving touchdowns as a rookie, the second-most on the team despite ranking seventh with 29 receptions. Coleman has had an impressive training camp. Furthermore, he could turn into Josh Allen’s top wide receiver in 2025, especially with Khalil Shakir dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Last year, his first-read target share in the red zone (28.1%) led the team, 10.5% higher than any other Bill (per Fantasy Points Data). Coleman has become a popular breakout candidate and is one of my favorite late-round targets.

Marvin Mims Jr. (DEN) – ADP 152.1 | WR56

Mims was the WR22 from Week 13 through Week 18, averaging 17.5 PPR fantasy points per game, a higher average than Courtland Sutton (15.1). According to Fantasy Points Data, he averaged a higher fantasy points per route run average (1.12) than Puka Nacua (0.92), Brian Thomas Jr. (0.64), Justin Jefferson (0.58), and Nico Collins (0.55) over the final six regular-season contests. Yet, Mims had a 33.5% lower route participation rate than any of those four superstar wide receivers during those six weeks. He is primed for a breakout year.

Tucker Kraft (GB) – ADP 114.5 | TE14

Last year, Kraft was the TE10, averaging 9.6 PPR fantasy points per game, leading the Packers in receiving touchdowns (seven). Yet, the veteran could be even better this season. According to Fantasy Points Data, Kraft ranked 26th in target per route run rate (17%) among 36 tight ends with at least 40 targets last year. However, he finished seventh in yards per route run (1.9) and first in yards after the catch per reception (9.38). Don’t be surprised if Kraft leads all tight ends in receiving touchdowns this season.
