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 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 CBS ADP for redraft leagues.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values: CBS Leagues
Drake Maye (NE) – ADP 113.75 | QB19
Despite a lack of weapons and an awful offensive line, Maye had an impressive rookie season. The rookie averaged 14.9 fantasy points per game in the 11 contests where he played over 32% of snaps. Maye would have finished as the QB17 over a 17-game pace with the 14.9 fantasy points per game average. Yet, he should be significantly better this year. The Patriots signed Stefon Diggs in free agency and drafted Will Campbell, TreVeyon Henderson, and Kyle Williams. Don’t be surprised if Maye is a top-10 quarterback in 2025.
Jordan Mason (MIN) – ADP 119.62 | RB39
Last year, Mason finished as the RB41, averaging 9.6 PPR fantasy points per game. However, he was outstanding early in the season, filling in for Christian McCaffrey, ranking as the RB5 over the first month, averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game, totaling 17.4 or more in all but one contest. More importantly, Mason could steal the lead role from Aaron Jones. According to Fantasy Points Data, Mason had a better explosive run rate (7.8% vs. 3.5%) and missed forced tackle per attempt rate (22% vs. 11%) than Jones last year.
J.K. Dobbins (DEN) – ADP 140.51 | RB47
Many fantasy players still have high hopes for RJ Harvey despite the addition of Dobbins. Yet, the veteran’s ADP is nearly seven rounds later and 26 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. The veteran 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).
Jordan Addison (MIN) – ADP 75.12 | WR33
After a successful rookie year, Addison was outstanding with Sam Darnold. He was the WR21, averaging 14.2 PPR fantasy points per game, posting a higher average than Tyreek Hill (12.8). Furthermore, Addison is one of the NFL’s top touchdown scorers. He had 10 touchdowns on 108 targets in 17 games as a rookie. Last season, the star receiver had nine receiving touchdowns on 99 targets in 15 games. After ranking top 10 in receiving scores in back-to-back years, I’m all in on Addison in 2025 despite the potential suspension.
Cedric Tillman (CLE) – ADP 154.11 | WR59
While Jerry Jeudy was the WR13 last season, averaging 14.2 PPR fantasy points per game, Tillman was the Browns’ top wide receiver following the Amari Cooper trade before suffering a season-ending concussion. According to Fantasy Points Data, Tillman had a better target per route run rate (22% vs. 18%), yards per route run average (1.69 vs. 1.67), first-round target share (25.7% vs. 23.5%), and fantasy points per route run (0.41 vs. 0.30) than Jeudy during the five weeks where both were healthy following the Cooper trade.
Evan Engram (DEN) – ADP 116.51 | TE12
Engram was the TE32 last year, averaging 9.9 PPR fantasy points per game. Unfortunately, the veteran tight end missed eight games with multiple injuries. Furthermore, he played on a dysfunctional Jacksonville Jaguars offense. Thankfully, Engram landed with the Broncos in free agency, giving him a clear pathway as the No. 2 option in the passing attack behind Courtland Sutton. Don’t be surprised if he has a bounce-back season with Sean Payton on the sidelines. Therefore, the veteran tight end shouldn’t get drafted after Jonnu Smith and Colston Loveland.
