Fantasy football is in the air, and if you’re going with the late-round QB strategy in 2025, you’ll want to circle some of these quarterback sleepers.
We’ll get right to the names, but a few housekeeping items:
- I’m only including QBs drafted outside the top 12. If you’re being drafted as a starter, you aren’t a sleeper.
- FTN’s fantasy football rankings are led by the two most accurate fantasy football rankers in the industry. (No. 1 in 2024 and No. 1 from 2022-2024 in aggregate.) You’re leaving fantasy wins on the table if you don’t get FTN.
Drake Maye, New England Patriots
(ADP: QB17)
Don’t look now, but Maye was the fantasy Q14 from Weeks 6 on last year. As a rookie. On the most broken offense in the league.
Everything about this situation is better leading into 2025 and we’re … drafting him lower??
Maye has the secret fantasy weapon you want in your QB: Some rushing upside. He’s not Lamar Jackson — but he might be Kyler Murray (Before you go crazy on me for saying that, Maye had 421 rushing yards in 12 games last year; Murray had 572 in 17).
Extrapolated over a full 17 games, Maye was on pace to be third among QBs in rushing yards behind Jackson, Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts.
At QB17, I say gimme gimme.
