It’s been a hectic couple of months, but I’m back on the blog, just in time to give you some huge values ahead of the 2025 fantasy football season.

For those yet to draft, here are six mispriced stars to build your drafts around. For those who have already drafted, there is still time to work some magic in trades before values disappear.

Please note: all of these values are based on PPR scoring, so be sure to check your league’s scoring format before inhaling any of this advice.

Six Fantasy Football Values to Jump On in 2025

Trey McBride, TE, Arizona Cardinals

Trey McBride isn’t exactly a sleeper, but he is being drafted far too late this year. The Cardinals star was the TE1 overall in fantasy points per game (FPPG) in 2024, and nothing has changed offensively in Arizona this offseason.

McBride is being drafted 10 spots behind Brock Bowers, whose team attempted the fourth-most passes in the NFL and who McBride outscored in FPPG last season.

The value of getting top-12 wide receiver numbers from a tight end is insane, but, unlike Bowers, McBride isn’t being drafted ahead of Drake London.

The Raiders will run the ball far more in 2025. I’m not saying Bowers won’t be a beast – he will – but we all loved Sam LaPorta last summer and he went on to finish as the TE8 on the year.

McBride is the TE1, and is a huge value in the third round of drafts.

Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos

Courtland Sutton is currently being drafted as the WR22, but I’d be shocked if he didn’t finish inside the top 15 at the position. The Broncos veteran was the WR15 on the season in 2024, despite dealing with a slow start from rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

Nix waited until Week 4 to throw his first NFL touchdown, but his connection with Sutton eventually blossomed. From Week 8, Sutton was the WR10 in FPPG (18.0) and was the clear alpha on the Denver offense.

The receiver was handed a four-year, $92 million extension during the offseason, solidifying his position as the WR1 on the team. With better offensive weapons around him in 2025, Sutton could prove even more valuable this time around.

Calvin Ridley, WR, Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans offense has had a glow up this offseason, and Calvin Ridley should be the biggest beneficiary. Gone are the days of Will Levis and Mason Rudolph taking turns to see who could decimate Ridley’s fantasy value in the most devastating fashion.

Instead, first overall pick Cam Ward will be finding the veteran receiver with regularity, and fantasy managers will reap the rewards of the added efficiency. Ridley’s 120 targets ranked 18th among all receivers in 2024, but poor quarterback play prevented him from taking advantage.

Of the 35 receivers with at least 100 targets, Ridley’s 53.3% catch rate ranked dead last. If he had caught 20 more passes on the year, for 10 extra yards per game, and two extra touchdowns, he would have been the WR11 last season.

While you can make up numbers for any player, that’s an improvement that Ridley could very realistically make with a better quarterback. He’s being drafted as the WR28 overall, exactly where he finished last year, meaning any improvement at all would make him a value, and that’s inevitable.

Keenan Allen, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

Keenan Allen is back on the Chargers, with Justin Herbert, and 53 other receivers are being taken ahead of him in drafts. Before the receiver’s move to Chicago, Herbert targeted Allen 524 times in four years together, which the receiver turned into 4,013 yards and 24 touchdowns.

That connection won’t have disappeared in just a year. Allen proved that he is still an effective route-runner and pass-catcher in a bad Bears offense last season, and he will command a significant share of targets in LA in 2025.

Allen’s presence is why I’m out on Ladd McConkey at cost. I love McConkey, from pre-draft to his 197-yard game against Houston in the playoffs. But Allen’s connection with Herbert is being severely overlooked in fantasy, and he could be one of the biggest sleepers of the year.

A low-end WR2 finish isn’t out of the question for Allen, but a significant profit on his WR54 ADP should be the minimum expectation.

Bryce Young, QB, Carolina Panthers

Bryce Young is still being overlooked as the fantasy community refuses to believe that he’s good. That’s great for his ADP, though, and if managers want to continue drafting him five QB spots lower than he finished last year, I’ll happily take the value.

Young was the QB20 overall last season, despite a horrendous start to the year and the fact that he only started 12 games. After returning as a starter in Week 8, he was the QB15 in FPPG (minimum six games). After the team’s Week 11 bye, he was the QB8 in FPPG (minimum five games).

Young proved himself as both a passer and a rusher down the stretch last year. From Week 12 on, he threw 11 touchdowns to three interceptions and ran in five further scores on the ground.

Currently the QB25 in drafts, Young has genuine top-12 potential at the position this season and will not be getting drafted this late in a year’s time.

Zach Ertz, TE, Washington Commanders

Finally, Zach Ertz is a budget Mark Andrews this season for anyone who prefers to take a tight end late. The fact that you can completely punt tight end in drafts, and still end up with a potential top-8 player at the position in insanity.

Ertz has proven to be a go-to guy for Jayden Daniels and was phenomenal last year once the rookie quarterback settled in. His 16 targets in the team’s playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles proves the faith Daniels has in his tight end when it matters most.

From Week 11, Ertz was the TE8 in PPR, ahead of both Andrews and Travis Kelce, and should pick up where he left off in Week 1. He’s available in the 13th round as the 18th tight end off the board, ridiculous value and another baffling case of fantasy age bias.
