The 2025 Fantasy Football Draft season is here, and the Los Angeles Rams are a team to watch closely for multiple reasons. Quarterback Matthew Stafford has been dealing with a back injury that could impact him in the regular season. With a banged-up Stafford, or without him entirely, wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams would take a step back from their projected Fantasy Football ADPs, currently in the first three rounds.

But running back Kyren Williams could benefit with more of the offense focused on his performance with backup Jimmy Garoppolo potentially as the team's signal caller. With a 2025 Fantasy Football ADP inside the top-two rounds, Williams may be worth a long look higher in drafts.

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Bills running back James Cook would comfortably outperform his ADP (RB14). The result: Cook rushed for 1,009 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding 32 receptions for 258 yards and two more scores as a receiver. He finished as RB8 in CBS Sports PPR leagues and his maturation into a scoring threat cemented his status as a Fantasy football superstar.

The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020, nailing Jonathan Taylor's monstrous season in 2021 and correctly predicting C.J. Stroud would take a step back in 2024. Additionally, it's called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Anybody who banked on players like those made a run at their league title.

Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football rankings 2025, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to SportsLine now to see them. 

Top 2025 Fantasy football sleepers

One of the 2025 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Browns tight end David Njoku. The 29-year-old is coming off the best Fantasy per-game season of his career, finishing as the TE4 in Fantasy points per game. He missed seven games due to hamstring and ankle injuries though, which have kept him under the radar in Fantasy football drafts this year.

Njoku ranked fifth in target share and seventh in receiving yards per game among 47 qualified tight ends last season, per Fantasy Points Data. He was the TE2 in Fantasy points per game across five outings with Joe Flacco at quarterback in 2023, and Flacco is set to start for the Browns this season. The model has Njoku ranked ahead of five tight ends who are going off the board before him in average Fantasy drafts, making him a Fantasy football sleeper to target.

Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2025 have identified: Raiders quarterback Geno Smith. Smith was reunited this offseason with Pete Carroll, his coach in Seattle from 2020-23. In 2021, his first full year as a starter for the Seahawks, Smith threw for nearly 4,300 yards and a career-high 30 touchdown passes.

Las Vegas also added offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, formerly head coach of the Eagles and 49ers, and most recently the offensive architect of Ohio State's 2024 National Championship team. The Raiders drafted Ashton Jeanty, college football's best running back with the No. 6 overall pick to add to an intriguing offense featuring second year star tight end Brock Bowers. The model puts Smith on par with C.J. Stroud in its 2025 Fantasy Football Rankings, despite Smith being drafted multiple rounds later per ADP data. See which other Fantasy football sleepers 2025 to pick here.
