When preparing for your fantasy football drafts, knowing which players to target and others to avoid is important. The amount of information available can be overwhelming, so a great way to condense the data and determine players to draft and others to leave for your leaguemates is to use our expert consensus fantasy football rankings compared to fantasy football average draft position (ADP). In this way, you can identify players the experts are willing to reach for at ADP and others they are not drafting until much later than average. Let’s dive into a few of the best fantasy football draft values on each of the top commissioner sites.
Best Fantasy Football Draft Values
Best Fantasy Football Draft Values on Yahoo
Caleb Williams (CHI) – ADP 120.8 | QB18
Unfortunately, Williams fell short of expectations as a rookie. He was the QB16 last season, averaging 15 fantasy points per game, a lower average than Geno Smith (15.6) and Derek Carr (15.1). 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 18.7 | 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 RB6, averaging 15.3 half-point 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.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values on ESPN
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA) – ECR: 18 | ADP: 37
After playing third-fiddle to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett during his rookie campaign, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba ascended to WR1 status last season. He led the Seahawks with 100 receptions, 1,130 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions.
Smith-Njigba averaged 14.9 points per game last season, finishing as the WR9 in PPR formats. Despite that breakout season, Smith-Njigba is being drafted as the WR16 on ESPN.
That may be due to Seattle replacing quarterback Geno Smith with Sam Darnold, but Smith-Njigba could be in line for even more volume after the departures of Metcalf and Lockett this offseason.
The Seahawks did sign former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp to a three-year, $45 million contract this offseason, but Smith-Njigba should remain the alpha in Seattle’s wide receiver room. Some risk is involved, but the potential downgrade in quarterback doesn’t justify a 19-spot difference between Smith-Njigba’s FantasyPros expert consensus rankings (ECR) and his average draft position (ADP).
Other values at wide receiver include Nico Collins, Brian Thomas Jr., Drake London and Ladd McConkey. However, Smith-Njigba might be the most mispriced of them all.
Evan Engram (TE – DEN) – ECR: 80 | ADP: 100
Before the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos were linked to some of the draft’s top wide receivers and tight ends. They had the opportunity to draft Matthew Golden in the first round, but they waited until round three to select former Illinois wide receiver Pat Bryant.
That could lead to more opportunities for free agent signing Evan Engram. After three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the former New York Giants first-round draft pick signed a two-year, $23 million contract with the Broncos this offseason.
Engam is coming off the least-productive season of his NFL career, but there’s reason to believe he can regain his form in Denver. He gets a quarterback upgrade in the ascending Bo Nix and has little target competition outside of wide receiver Courtland Sutton.
On ESPN, Engram is drafted 20 spots lower than his FantasyPros ECR. He’s being drafted as the TE9 in early mock drafts, while early consensus has him as the TE6. Other value tight ends include T.J. Hockenson, Jonnu Smith and Tucker Kraft.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values on Sleeper
Bo Nix (DEN) – ADP 88.8 | QB9
The former Oregon star is one of the more underrated fantasy quarterbacks heading into the season after a strong finish to his rookie year. Nix was the QB3 from Week 16 through Week 18, averaging 267.7 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 25.5 fantasy points per game while completing 79% of his pass attempts. Yet, he could be even better this season after the Broncos added Evan Engram and Pat Bryant to his receiving corps. Don’t be surprised if Nix ranks among the league leaders in passing touchdowns this year.
Ashton Jeanty (LV) – ADP 17.1 | RB6
Fantasy players should jump at the chance to draft Jeanty at his current ADP on Sleeper. 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.
