6 Late-Round Draft Picks to Target (2025 Fantasy Football)

Let us see what kind of redraft roster we can build in a PPR format with a late-round draft pick. Here are some of the late-round draft picks to target from a recent fantasy football mock draft.

Fantasy Football Late-Round Draft Picks to Target

9.11 – Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB)

10.02 – Rachaad White (RB – TB)

A pair of Buccaneers here, as Emeka Egbuka has risen up draft rankings thanks to the uncertainty of Chris Godwin‘s season-ending ankle injury from last season. If Egbuka gets a runway and opportunity, it’s going to be near-impossible to get him off the field. And what an offense to be a part of with Baker Mayfield, Bucky Irving, Mike Evans and company. Egbuka can play inside and outside, so his versatility will help him get on and stay on the field.

Rachaad White is a pure floor play at running back, who should still maintain a worthwhile role even with Bucky Irving handling a large amount of touches. White may maintain a “satellite-plus” role in the offense as a situational pass-catcher and occasional rusher, but White’s profile is more suited to pass-catching — something he’s always been efficient at, dating back to college at Arizona State. Nabbing him as a bye-week fill-in in case the later-drafted running backs haven’t earned or seized roles is good insurance for our team.

11.11 – Luther Burden III (WR – CHI)

12.02 – Isaac Guerendo (RB – SF)

13.11 – Miles Sanders (RB – DAL)

14.02 – Jalen Coker (WR – CAR)

Isaac Guerendo has easy contingent value if something happens to Christian McCaffrey, and we know McCaffrey’s lengthy injury history. Jordan Mason was traded to Minnesota early in the offseason, clearing the way for Guerendo to be McCaffrey’s primary backup.

Miles Sanders could have a big role with the Cowboys despite the presence of Javonte Williams and fourth-round pick Jaydon Blue. Williams’ ability has been sapped by multiple injuries throughout the years, so that leaves the door open for anybody to be a factor, even Sanders. Blue has looked good in training camp early on, but Sanders makes for a solid early-season play and is an ideal roster-churning spot for your waiver wire darling in the first few weeks.

As for Luther Burden, he was drafted in the second round this past April as the second of two offensive pieces added by new head coach Ben Johnson. Burden is athletic and was hugely productive in the slot at Missouri. With plenty of other firepower in the Bears’ offense, Burden could be a sneaky fantasy option either out of the slot or on the outside.

Jalen Coker is a pure dart throw, but he flashed when given playing time in the slot and on the outside when Adam Thielen returned. As a top-three receiver in what is a somewhat shaky receiving corps in terms of Xavier Legette not having a great rookie season and Thielen turning 35, Coker has a prime opportunity to make the most of his opportunity this season with Bryce Young looking more competent in the middle-to-end of 2024.

Draft Wizard Results

The Draft Wizard gave us a B grade and an 86 out of 100 score, projecting us as the sixth-highest scoring team overall. I project our running backs to score better than the field thinks they will. With our receivers, Brock Bowers and Jayden Daniels, we’re going to project a lot better than the teams ahead of us most weeks.
