Here are 32 players presenting good value in fantasy football.
Greetings, Falcoholics! It’s that time of the year again. The 2025 NFL season is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to talk about fantasy football.
Since 2019, I’ve been predicting top sleepers from each NFL team to help you dominate your fantasy league drafts. You can revisit my picks from 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 by clicking the respective years.
Now, before diving into the 2025 sleeper list, let’s review the criteria. Each player chosen offers significant potential value for your fantasy team, based on points-per-reception (PPR) scoring format. While some names may be familiar, their average draft position (ADP) indicates they offer great value.
Without further ado, let’s get started!
RB Trey Benson (2024), RB Keaontay Ingram, (2023), WR Rondale Moore (2022), RB Chase Edmonds (2021), WR Andy Isabella (2020), QB Kyler Murray (2019)
After being suspended for the first five games in 2024, Zay Jones had a hard time getting on track for the rest of the season. But after an offseason which the Cardinals decided to re-sign Jones, 2025 could be his year to contribute.
Now, he likely won't make a huge impact, but Jones is surely a guy to monitor for one of your weekly substitutions or if you get hit by the injury bug, making him a fine deep sleeper.
QB Kirk Cousins (2024), QB Desmond Ridder (2023), RB Tyler Allgeier (2022), WR Russell Gage (2021), TE Hayden Hurst (2020), TE Austin Hooper (2019)
For the last two seasons I’ve gone with a Falcons quarterback, and it has fell flat. This year, I’m taking a leap of faith with Kyle Pitts. If Pitts was ever going to be relevant again in Atlanta, it’s this year. After a stellar rookie season, Pitts has been a huge disappointment. It’s possible that quarterback play had a little to do with that.
With Michael Penix Jr. squarely fitted to start for the Falcons, Pitts may finally get the production many have craved. With how thin the tight end group is in fantasy football, Pitts could be steal considering his current ADP having him in the 20-25 range for tight ends.
WR Devontez Walker (2024), WR Rashid Bateman (2023), WR Devin Duvernay (2022), WR Rashod Bateman (2021), RB J.K. Dobbins (2020), RB Mark Ingram (2019)
Like Pitts, Isaiah Likely isn’t technically a sleeper, because most fantasy managers have heard of him. But he’s still in a crowded tight end room on an offensive powerhouse which has many mouths to feed. With that being said, Likely is a better weapon than Mark Andrews and it’s only a matter of time until he completely surpasses him on the depth chart.
As unreliable as tight ends have been in recent years, Likely has the talent and potential opportunity to become a weekly tight end starter in all...
