Fantasy Football 2025: Undervalued Players You NEED to Draft!
Ready for your 2025 Fantasy Football draft? Identifying sleepers – those undervalued players with breakout potential – is key to building a winning team. Experts like Justin Boone are already releasing their rankings, and now is the time to start your research. Boone, known for his accuracy in past seasons, highlights quarterback situations to watch closely.
QB Sleepers to Watch
With the season just weeks away, quarterback health is a crucial factor. Keep an eye on Jordan Love, who recently underwent thumb surgery. While expected to be ready for Week 1, his status adds uncertainty. Malik Willis could be a valuable backup if Love is sidelined. Matthew Stafford's back issues also warrant attention, potentially impacting his draft stock.
Anthony Richardson Sr. appears to be gaining an edge in the Colts' quarterback competition, making him an intriguing QB2 option. Despite limited playing time in the past two seasons, Richardson has demonstrated QB1 potential when on the field.
Beyond Quarterbacks: Sleepers at Tight End
Looking beyond quarterbacks, tight ends Travis Kelce and Jake Ferguson present interesting sleeper opportunities. Kelce, despite a career-low touchdown total last season, remains a top-tier tight end in terms of snaps, targets, catches, and yardage. An increase in end zone targets could lead to a significant bounce-back year.
Ferguson is another tight end to watch. He had the most targets without a touchdown reception last year. With a healthy Dak Prescott at quarterback, Ferguson could emerge as a valuable fantasy asset.
The Power of Predictive Models
Don't rely solely on gut feeling. Predictive models can provide valuable insights. SportsLine's model accurately predicted C.J. Stroud's potential regression last season, helping fantasy managers avoid a costly mistake. This same model has a proven track record of identifying sleepers, breakouts, and busts, making it a valuable resource for draft preparation.
Key Takeaways for Your Draft
- Monitor quarterback injuries closely.
- Identify undervalued players with breakout potential at all positions.
- Leverage predictive models to gain an edge in your draft.
By considering these factors and doing your research, you can maximize your chances of drafting a winning Fantasy Football team in 2025.
