3 Mid-Round Fantasy Football Draft Picks to Target (2025)

Here are a few fantasy football draft picks to target for the 2025 NFL season.

Fantasy Football Draft Picks to Target

James Conner (RB – ARI)

Drafting James Conner feels a little like playing with fire, but he’s been one of the most reliable running backs in the league over the past four years. He has averaged over 15 touches per game since coming to Arizona, and he’s turned in consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.

Conner turned 30 in the offseason; however, the cliff could come at any point, but his role inside the 10-yard line still makes him a valuable commodity. It probably makes sense to target Trey Benson as insurance in the later rounds if you draft Conner.

George Pickens (WR – DAL)

Remember the part about getting a piece of the Dallas passing game? Getting Dak Prescott was a nice surprise, but George Pickens is a player I am targeting in these middle rounds with regularity. Pickens can be volatile (it is hard to say how he will perform playing second fiddle to CeeDee Lamb), but his talent is undeniable. A change of scenery should help, and Pickens is more than capable of turning in a 1,000-yard season, even as the second option. I like the idea of stacking him and Prescott here, risk and volatility aside.

RJ Harvey (RB – DEN)

Just two weeks ago, RJ Harvey’s average draft position (ADP) was roughly two rounds higher than where I got him on this mock draft. The Broncos signed J.K. Dobbins, and all of a sudden, Harvey is getting pushed down draft boards. That is an interesting (and overly reactionary) development considering Sean Payton’s track record with running backs. Even without Dobbins, Harvey was never destined for 20 touches a game. That just isn’t how Payton has ever structured his offense. I think buying the dip on Harvey makes a lot of sense, especially as an RB3/RB4.
