While the 2025 NFL regular season is still several months 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 My Fantasy League ADP for redraft leagues.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values: MFL Leagues
Baker Mayfield (TB) – QB9
One of my favorite quarterbacks to draft this year is Mayfield. The veteran was the QB4 in 2024, averaging 21.5 fantasy points per game, a career high. Furthermore, he set career highs in completion rate (71.4%), passing yards (4,500), and touchdowns (41), ranking second in the NFL in scores. While Mayfield lost his offensive coordinator this offseason, the Buccaneers improved his receiving corps by drafting Emeka Egbuka after re-signing Chris Godwin. There is no reason why Kyler Murray and Jared Goff should get drafted before the former Oklahoma star.
Ashton Jeanty (LV) – RB8
Fantasy players should jump at the chance to draft Jeanty at his current ADP on MFL. The superstar rookie should be one of the first four running backs off the board and a top-six pick in all redraft leagues. He is coming off one of the best seasons in college football history, totaling 2,601 rushing yards. Furthermore, his 1,970 yards after contact would have ranked as the second-most total rushing yards in college last year. More importantly, Jeanty will be the focal point of Pete Carroll’s offense in Las Vegas.
Kaleb Johnson (PIT) – RB43
Despite Iowa having no consistent passing threat, Johnson led the Big 10 in rushing yards (1,537) and touchdowns (21) while averaging 6.4 yards per attempt last season. While he will lose passing game work to Jaylen Warren, expect the rookie to take on the Najee Harris role in Arthur Smith’s offense. Last year, Harris was the RB20, averaging 12 PPR fantasy points per game despite averaging four yards per rushing attempt. Johnson is a more explosive runner than the veteran. Therefore, he is vastly undervalued at his RB43 ADP.
Calvin Ridley (TEN) – WR34
Some believe Ridley will be this year’s Terry McLaurin – a veteran having a career season thanks to a massive upgrade at quarterback. Last season, Ridley was significantly better with Mason Rudolph starting than with Will Levis. He averaged more PPR fantasy points per game (14.8 vs. 10.5), a higher yards per route run (2.46 vs. 1.81), and nearly twice as many receiving yards per contest (84 vs. 49.8) with the veteran quarterback. Imagine how well Ridley will play with Cam Ward under center and no meaningful target competition.
Tetairoa McMillan (CAR) – WR39
While the Panthers won’t have one of the top offenses in the NFL this season, fantasy players should expect their passing attack to improve with Bryce Young heading into his third year in the league. Furthermore, Carolina finally has a No. 1-caliber wide receiver. McMillan had back-to-back seasons with at least 84 receptions for 1,300 receiving yards and eight touchdowns to end his college career. More importantly, no one on the team will keep the former Arizona star from seeing at least 125 targets as a rookie.
Mason Taylor (NYJ) – TE31
Most ADP sources will have Colston Loveland ahead of Taylor for redraft leagues. However, he is my highest-ranked rookie tight end behind Tyler Warren. The Jets have one meaningful weapon in the passing game – Garrett Wilson. Furthermore, Justin Fields has a history of making his starting tight end a weekly fantasy option in the past. Cole Kmet finished as the TE8 in PPR scoring in 2023, Fields’ last year as a full-time starter. Taylor should be drafted as a high-end TE2 and not outside the top 30 tight ends.
