Fantasy Football Draft Values to Target (2025)

The 2025 NFL preseason is underway, meaning we’ve officially hit the start of redraft fantasy football season. Therefore, it’s time to do all the 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 my favorite draft values based on Sleeper ADP for redraft leagues.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values: Sleeper Leagues

Justin Fields (NYJ) – ADP 150.1 | QB18

While he is a below-average NFL starting quarterback, Fields is an underrated fantasy option because of his rushing abilities. The former Ohio State star averaged 18.9 fantasy points per game over the first six weeks of last season as the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers. That average would have made him the QB8 on a points-per-game basis in 2024. More importantly, Fields was productive in his last year as the unquestioned starter, ranking as the QB9 on a points-per-game basis in 2023 among quarterbacks with at least nine games played.

Christian McCaffrey (SF) – ADP 12.3 | RB6

Unfortunately, McCaffrey missed 13 games last season because of Achilles tendinitis and a PCL sprain. While the superstar comes with injury risk, he remains one of the top running backs in fantasy football and the NFL. McCaffrey was the RB1 in 2023, averaging 24.5 PPR fantasy points per game, 3.3 more than any other running back, and the most in fantasy football. While his days as the clear-cut RB1 are over, the superstar has too much upside to get drafted outside the top 10 picks despite the injury risk.

Marvin Mims Jr. (DEN) – ADP 152.1 | WR56

Mims was the WR22 from Week 13 through Week 18, averaging 17.5 PPR fantasy points per game, a higher average than Courtland Sutton (15.1). According to Fantasy Points Data, he averaged a higher fantasy points per route run average (1.12) than Puka Nacua (0.92), Brian Thomas Jr. (0.64), Justin Jefferson (0.58), and Nico Collins (0.55) over the final six regular-season contests. Yet, Mims had a 33.5% lower route participation rate than any of those four superstar wide receivers during those six weeks. He is primed for a breakout year.

Tucker Kraft (GB) – ADP 114.5 | TE14

Last year, Kraft was the TE10, averaging 9.6 PPR fantasy points per game, leading the Packers in receiving touchdowns (seven). Yet, the veteran could be even better this season. According to Fantasy Points Data, Kraft ranked 26th in target per route run rate (17%) among 36 tight ends with at least 40 targets last year. However, he finished seventh in yards per route run (1.9) and first in yards after the catch per reception (9.38). Don’t be surprised if Kraft leads all tight ends in receiving touchdowns this season.
