Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is coming off another 1,000-yard season, even though he was in an offense with poor quarterback play. He is hoping for a quarterback upgrade this year in the form of Titans rookie Cam Ward, who was the top overall pick in the draft. Ward averaged more than nine yards per pass attempt and completed 67.8% of his passes, making him a popular Fantasy football breakout pick. If he emerges as a star, Ridley could wind up among the Fantasy football sleepers.

Finding both a quarterback and wide receiver that you are high on can create a potential Fantasy football stack. Are Ward and Ridley a duo you should be targeting with your 2025 Fantasy football lineups?

Top 2025 Fantasy football picks, advice 

The Fantasy football draft bible features Nagel's 10 tips for a perfect 2025 Fantasy draft, including:

Have a basic strategy

"Whether you're a casual or hardcore Fantasy player, it helps to have a basic strategy in mind as you enter the draft," Nagel said. "Some simply adopt the "best player available" approach relative to their team needs in every round. Others will choose a more specific tactic such as "zero RB," which refers to loading up on receivers early and picking up running backs late, which is especially popular in both full PPR and three-receiver leagues. The "hero RB" approach involves taking a highly-ranked RB in the first or second round, followed by numerous picks for other positions before grabbing a second running back. Whatever method you prefer, it helps to have a basic strategic construct in mind as you enter the draft."

Let good teams be the tiebreaker

"The general premise of taking good players from good offensive teams is an excellent premise to follow whenever possible. Of course, specific players from poor NFL teams can still help in Fantasy, but you don't want a roster full of them. For instance, an excellent running back from a bad team might get limited touches because the running game is scripted out due to his team constantly trailing, or you lack confidence in the coaching staff's ability to put this player in favorable situations," Nagel said. "...If your pick is a close call between two players, take the one on the better offensive team." Get the full Fantasy football draft guide over at SportsLine.
