Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season (!!) is just a few days away (!!!!), but there are still fantasy football drafts to be finished. So we’re here to help one more time.
Throughout the fantasy football prep season, we’ve given you lots of names to target — make sure to check out our full cheat sheet, which has so many lists and rankings and such, including other sleepers lists that you can use to mark down on your sheets.
Although you might think you have pretty much all the information you can gather when it comes to rosters, roles and depth charts, let’s go one more time with a final list of sleepers to consult as you get ready for your draft:
The end of last season was encouraging, as is the addition of a No. 1 receiver in Tetairoa McMillan. We could see him finally live up to the hype in Year 3.
He’s on everyone’s sleeper list and with good reason: The buzz about the former first-rounder got louder this preseason, and with a coach who knows how to get the most out of a QB and an offense filled with weapons, he may break out quickly.
Kenneth Walker III is good but has some injury concerns. The Seahawks are going to run the ball a lot. This seems like a no-brainer.
RB Jordan Mason, Minnesota Vikings
Aaron Jones has been so good for so long, but we saw that change a bit last year. You have to figure Mason will at least be in a timeshare to start and may leapfrog the vet quicker than you think.
RB Braelon Allen, New York Jets
The preseason buzz on Breece Hall has been extremely negative, so it’s worth investing in the back who could take a lot of work this season.
Quinshon Judkins might sign soon, but until he does, this might be the rookie who is the Week 1 star for the Browns.
RB Ollie Gordon II, Miami Dolphins
It looks like he’s RB2 in Miami, and between De’Von Achane health concerns and how this team runs the ball, there’s a lot of value to be had here.
WR Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Another name on everyone’s sleepers list. With Mike Evans at WR1, the rookie could make an impact right away as Chris Godwin heals.
WR Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers
I think he’s the team’s leading wide receiver for a few weeks until Jauan Jennings comes back. He’s not being drafted that way.
WR Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers
The Packers tend to spread the ball around… but what if they took the first-round wideout with the intention of focusing more on him? Isn’t it worth finding out?
Sometimes it takes a few years for a tight end to figure it all out. He could be a candidate to do just that in 2025.
TE Hunter Henry, New England Patriots
I love what I see out of Drake Maye heading into this year. I could see Henry grabbing double-digit TDs.
