Who should be concerned about which NFL players often go undrafted in fantasy football? Well, fantasy football managers – that’s who. While it’s obviously important to hit during the early rounds of drafts, nailing on those late-round, high-upside targets can also be integral to success over the course of a season. That’s why it helps to know which players are regularly available near the end of drafts, and which of those players to take a chance on instead of allowing them to go “undrafted.”
The following group of players all currently fall outside the overall Top-150 in FantasyPros consensus ADP for standard scoring.

2025 Fantasy Football All-Undrafted Team
Quarterback drama aside, Penix is the man in Atlanta, with veteran Kirk Cousins (for now) his backup. Penix was a top-10 draft pick in 2024, and when given the chance to take the reins of the Falcons offense over the final three weeks of last season, he showed plenty of promise.
In those three starts, Penix completed a combined 58-of-100 passes for an average of 245.7 yards per game. He did throw one interception in each game, but he countered with three touchdown passes and another on the ground during that stretch.
The Falcons are loaded up with offensive weapons led by stud running back Bijan Robinson, underrated wide receiver Drake London, and sleeper tight end Kyle Pitts. Penix also benefits from an experienced, cohesive offensive line. The second-year southpaw’s ADP lies outside the Top-20 QBs, but he has the potential to finish inside the Top-10.
Raheem Mostert is out of Miami, so Wright is now the spell to De’Von Achane. That gives Wright a real opportunity in his second NFL season. Achane is an electric, dual-threat back, but he averaged just under 12 carries per game last season. As a team, the Dolphins ran the ball over 26 times per game.
Wright carried the rock 68 times for 249 yards as a rookie, recording his best effort in Week 5 against the Patriots, when he went for 86 yards on 13 attempts. The Dolphins grabbed him in the fourth round of the 2024 draft out of Tennessee. Wright was a big-play threat for the Vols, going for 1,013 yards on 137 carries (7.4 Y/A) in 2023. He’s got that ability and could see ample red zone chances, too.
Is year three when Johnson finally becomes the touchdown-stealing bruiser many thought he could be coming out of Texas in 2023? It’s very possible, and he should have the right coach in place to finally realize his potential.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson got double-digit rushing touchdowns from both Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in each of the last two seasons as Detroit’s OC. That’s incredible production from not one but two different ball carriers in the same backfield. Johnson and D’Andre Swift may not be on that level, but the tandem is in much better hands.
Johnson found the end zone six times last season. Could he double that? It’s possible.
Allen took a one-year sojourn in Chicago, but he’s back in his long-time home of Southern California. This time around, the six-time Pro Bowler is not the No. 1 option in the passing game, and the Chargers don’t really need him to be. Allen is, however, a seasoned vet who can serve as a sure-handed safety valve for a QB he’s very familiar with in Justin Herbert.
Allen played 15 games for the Bears last season, hauling in 70 passes for 744 yards and seven touchdowns. He may be better as a PPR option, but there should be something left on the bone regardless of fantasy format.
Yes, Mr. 1,000 yards Mike Evans leads the way. First-round rookie Emeka Egbuka is the hot name in Tampa Bay. Chris Godwin is still lurking, but health is often a question for the eight-year pro, as it is right now.
Enter McMillan, who went on a serious run down the stretch of his first NFL campaign. The Buccaneers went 4-1 over the final five weeks of last season, averaging 33.4 points per game while clinching a division title in the process. With Godwin on the shelf, McMillan stepped up, averaging 4.8 receptions for 63.2 yards in that span. More importantly, he hit paydirt in every game, hauling in seven touchdowns in total.
The QB situation isn’t ideal. The volume isn’t ideal. It may not matter for Pierce, and that’s all baked into the risk-free draft cost. He will disappear from the Colts’ offense at times, but Pierce led the NFL with 22.3 yards per reception last season and found the end zone in seven separate games despite only catching 37 total passes.
Pierce went over 100 yards three times in 2024, adding in games of 81 and 74 yards along the way. It’s a weekly dart throw with the former second-round pick out of Cincinnati. In deeper leagues, he’s often worth the gamble,
After doing very little as a rookie, Strange had a handful of nice performances for the Jaguars in his second year. Last season, the 6-4 tight end delivered four games with at least four grabs. He also cleared the 50-yard mark four times, topping out with 73 receiving yards in Week 15 opposite the Jets. Strange also came up with a couple of touchdown tosses from QB Trevor Lawrence during the early weeks of the season.
Veteran TE Evan Engram is out of the mix in Jacksonville, leaving Strange as the heir apparent. Lawrence is familiar with Strange, and with all the buzz around the WR duo of Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter, the third-year TE is flying under the radar.
