The 2025 NFL preseason is over, meaning we’re knee-deep in fantasy football draft season. Therefore, it’s time to do all the last-minute preparation fantasy players ignored over the past few months. Many factors go into fantasy players winning their redraft league every year. However, the top factor is drafting players at a value.
Let’s look at six of my favorite draft values based on My Fantasy League ADP for redraft leagues.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values: MFL Leagues
Bryce Young (CAR) – QB29
Last year, Young was the QB20, averaging 13.9 fantasy points per, posting a higher average than Drake Maye (13.6) and C.J. Stroud (13). Yet, his ADP on MFL is laughable. He was significantly better following his benching, becoming a borderline must-start quarterback to end last season. Young was the QB6 from Week 13 through Week 18, averaging 21.9 fantasy points per game, a higher average than Bo Nix (21.6). Furthermore, the Panthers have set him up for a third-year breakout after adding Tetairoa McMillan in the NFL Draft.
Ashton Jeanty (LV) – RB6
Fantasy players should jump at the chance to draft Jeanty at his current ADP on MFL. The superstar rookie should be one of the first four running backs off the board and a top-six pick in all redraft leagues. He is coming off one of the best seasons in college football history, totaling 2,601 rushing yards. Furthermore, his 1,970 yards after contact would have ranked as the second-most total rushing yards in college last year. More importantly, Jeanty will be the focal point of Pete Carroll’s offense in Las Vegas.
De’Von Achane (MIA) – RB11
While Achane is dealing with a calf injury, there is no reason why he should be the RB11 in ADP, getting drafted after Kyren Williams (RB9). Last year, the former Texas A&M star was the RB5, averaging 17.6 PPR fantasy points per game despite playing on an inconsistent offense. Furthermore, he was a massive factor in the passing game, leading all running backs in receptions (78), receiving yards (592), and touchdowns (six). While Ollie Gordon has had an impressive preseason, Achane remains the featured guy in the Dolphins’ backfield.
Calvin Ridley (TEN) – WR29
Many believe Ridley will be this year’s Terry McLaurin – a veteran having a career season thanks to a massive upgrade at quarterback. Last season, Ridley was significantly better with Mason Rudolph starting than with Will Levis. He averaged more PPR fantasy points per game (14.8 vs. 10.5), a higher yards per route run (2.46 vs. 1.81), and nearly twice as many receiving yards per contest (84 vs. 49.8) with the veteran quarterback. Imagine how well Ridley will play with Cam Ward under center and no meaningful target competition.
Travis Hunter (JAC) – WR31
Hunter should be ready for Week 1 despite dealing with an injury. While he will play on offense and defense, Jacksonville didn’t trade up in the NFL Draft for him to not have a significant role in Trevor Lawrence’s development. Last year, Hunter had 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns on 121 targets at Colorado. More importantly, he will fill the Chris Godwin role in Liam Coen’s offense. Last season, Godwin averaged 8.9 targets per game, which would have been 151 over a 17-game pace, the eighth-most in the league.
Dalton Kincaid (BUF) – TE16
Some had high hopes for Kincaid last year after the Bills traded away Stefon Diggs. Unfortunately, he fell well short of expectations, finishing as the TE29, averaging 7.8 PPR fantasy points per game. However, Kincaid dealt with multiple injuries, including a knee injury that the team later admitted should have landed him on season-ending injured reserve. Therefore, I’m giving him another chance in 2025. Buffalo still lacks a go-to wide receiver, meaning Kincaid could lead the team in targets and touchdowns, making him one of my favorite post-hype sleepers.
