These analysts have pinpointed their favorite high-upside players for the 2025 fantasy football season. Check out the guys who could explode and become true difference-makers. Let’s dive into the expert picks.

2025 High-Upside Players

Jakobi Meyers (WR – LV)

“Jakobi Meyers gets a massive QB upgrade with Geno Smith. He is currently being drafted as WR41. Every year, he is valuable, and the trend continues. Someone you can draft late and start in your flex every week. Low-end WR2, High End WR3 with a WR4 price tag.”
– David Heilman (Sports Gambling Podcast Network)

Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)

“Marvin Harrison, Jr. was last year’s consensus WR1 in rookie drafts. He has a good year, but not what owners expected, finishing WR29 in half PPR. This year, he is being drafted as WR18 and will far exceed his draft spot. From week 12-18 of 2024, he recorded no fewer than 6 targets with as many as 12. This will grow during his second season with Kyler Murray, and he will be many owners’ mid-round league winner. Owners can comfortably draft him before Terry McClaurin, Tee Higgins, and Garrett Wilson as he competes to be a WR1 in all fantasy formats.”

Mason Taylor (TE – NYJ)

“Mason Taylor is one of my favorite sleeper candidates and is vastly undervalued as the TE27 in the ADP. New York threw the ball 607 times last season, the fifth-most in the NFL. While that’s likely to come down in 2025, the Jets’ only meaningful weapon in the passing game is Garrett Wilson. Therefore, Taylor has a clear pathway to finish second on the team in targets as a rookie.”
