While the 2025 NFL regular season is still several weeks away, now is the time to start preparing for redraft leagues. Many factors go into fantasy football 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 Yahoo ADP for redraft leagues.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values: Yahoo Leagues
Caleb Williams (CHI) – ADP 118.1 | QB16
The former No. 1 NFL Draft pick fell short of expectations as a rookie. Williams was the QB16 last season, averaging 15 fantasy points per game, a lower average than Geno Smith (15.6). However, the former USC star flashed superstar upside, scoring 26.1 or more fantasy points in three contests. More importantly, the Bears have given him everything needed for a sophomore-year breakout. They hired Ben Johnson as their head coach, significantly improved their offensive line, and spent their top two picks in the 2025 NFL Draft on pass catchers.
De’Von Achane (MIA) – ADP 18.1 | RB9
There is no reason why Achane should be the RB9 in ADP, getting drafted after Derrick Henry (RB4) and Josh Jacobs (RB8). Last year, the former Texas A&M star was the RB5, averaging 17.6 PPR fantasy points per game despite playing on an inconsistent offense. Furthermore, he was a massive factor in the passing game, leading all running backs in receptions (78), receiving yards (592), and touchdowns (six). While the Dolphins added Alexander Mattison and Ollie Gordon II this offseason, Achane should have a featured role again in 2025.
Kenneth Walker III (SEA) – ADP 45.4 | RB18
Unfortunately, Walker missed a career-high six games last season because of injury. Yet, he had an outstanding year when healthy. The former Michigan star was the RB12 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 16.5 PPR fantasy points per outing. Furthermore, Walker posted a career-high 4.6% rushing touchdown rate, totaling seven scores in 11 games. More importantly, he set career highs in receptions (46) and targets (54) despite missing significant time with injuries. Don’t be surprised if Walker is even more involved in the passing game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
Malik Nabers (NYG) – ADP 14.1 | WR7
Last year, Nabers was a fantasy superstar despite playing with arguably the worst quarterback unit in the NFL. He finished as the WR6, averaging 18.2 PPR fantasy points per game despite missing two contests with a concussion. The superstar had nearly half the Giants’ receiving touchdowns while ranking second in the league in targets (170). Nabers should be only better after New York drastically improved their quarterback unit this offseason. While he doesn’t have an elite quarterback, there is no reason why Nabers should be a second-round pick.
Davante Adams (LAR) – ADP 42.2 | WR18
Adams split time between two lackluster offenses last season. Yet, the future Hall of Famer finished the year as the WR11, averaging 17.2 PPR fantasy points per game, a higher average than Brian Thomas Jr. (16.7) and Drake London (16.5). Furthermore, he was the WR9 on a points-per-game basis despite Garrett Wilson ranking fourth in the NFL with 154 targets. More importantly, Matthew Stafford has produced multiple WR1s in Sean McVay’s offense in the past. Therefore, Adams should be ranked closer to the WR12 in ADP than the WR20.
Dalton Kincaid (BUF) – ADP 125.4 | TE14
Some had high hopes for Kincaid last season after the Bills traded away Stefon Diggs. Unfortunately, he fell well short of expectations, finishing as the TE29, averaging 7.8 PPR fantasy points per game. However, Kincaid dealt with multiple injuries, including a knee issue that the team later admitted that they should have shut him down over. Therefore, I’m giving him another chance in 2025. Buffalo still lacks a go-to wide receiver, meaning Kincaid could lead the team in targets and touchdowns, making him one of my favorite post-hype sleepers.
