Fantasy Football Sleepers: Tre Harris, Luther Burden, Quentin Johnston

Winning your fantasy football league often comes down to the players you grab in the final rounds of your draft. While early-round stars set the foundation, it’s the late-round steals who can deliver league-winning upside at a bargain. Our 2025 list of Fantasy Football Late-Round Draft Steals comes straight from the trusted insights of our Featured Pros experts. These undervalued sleepers could turn into weekly starters — or even this year’s breakout stars — if you play your draft right. Let’s break down the late-round picks you can target to outsmart your league mates this season.

Late-Round Fantasy Football Draft Steals

Late-Round Wide Receiver Steals

Which one WR outside the top 55 in half-PPR WR ADP do you plan to target in all drafts as a late-round steal and why?

Tre Harris (WR – LAC)

“Tre Harris’ WR59 price tag won’t last. Once training camp opens, he’ll go zooming up boards, so I’ll take another opportunity to hype him up here. Harris, the soul-snatching route savant, landed with the Bolts in the second round of the NFL Draft. He should quickly become Justin Herbert‘s trusted second option in the passing game opposite Ladd McConkey. Yes, Harris will have to hop either Mike Williams or Quentin Johnston to crack the starting lineup, but I’m not worried about his ability to do so. We’re discussing a player who has ranked first and ninth in yards per route run over the last two years, per Pro Football Focus (PFF), stacked up against arguably a former first-round bust and a veteran who looked like he was running on empty last year. If the Bolts remain a pass-happier team than people realize in 2025, Harris could be one of the best values in fantasy football drafts this season. Last year in Weeks 7-18, the Bolts ranked eighth in neutral passing rate and sixth-best in pass rate over expectation. If that continues and Harris can spread his wings in this offense, he could crush his average draft position (ADP) in 2025.”

Luther Burden (WR – CHI)

“Luther Burden. Some of your rivals will be turned off by Burden’s cluttered path to targets in a Bears offense with an abundance of pass-catching options. But at such a modest cost, it’s worth betting on the possibility that Burden assumes the Amon-Ra St. Brown role in Ben Johnson’s offense. Burden is so quick and explosive that he could thrive as Chicago’s slot man. His final college season wasn’t great (an injury to Missouri quarterback Brady Cook was a factor), but two seasons ago, Burden had 86 catches, 1,212 yards, and nine touchdowns in 13 games while playing in the SEC. Drafters are focused on the possibility of a Rome Odunze breakthrough, but there might be better value with the Bears’ other young receiver.”

Quentin Johnston (WR – LAC)

“Quentin Johnston feels more like a punchline than the answer to a sleeper question, but he broke through in 2024. A former first-round pick who the coaching staff has embraced, he is likely to receive the second-most targets from Justin Herbert and has the explosion to score on any opportunity. Sitting at WR67 makes him a deep sleeper worth adding.”
