With a majority of 2025 Fantasy football drafts now in the books, the 2025 Fantasy football ADP has largely solidified. Ja'Marr Chase is the consensus top pick, followed by three running backs -- Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley and Jahmyr Gibbs. CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson are the other receivers going in the first round in most drafts, with running backs Christian McCaffrey, Ashton Jeanty, Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs generally being picked early as well.

Seeing other popular Fantasy football picks can help shape your 2025 Fantasy football rankings, but finding 2025 Fantasy football sleepers who can exceed their ADP is the way to really nail your last-minute Fantasy football drafts. Before finalizing your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2025 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

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: Commanders tight end Zach Ertz. He was a beneficiary of Jayden Daniels arriving in Washington in 2024 as Ertz had his second-best season in terms of receptions since 2019. His seven touchdowns was also his best mark in six seasons.

He'll turn 35 this season, and has historically had a hard time completing seasons, so it's understandable that Fantasy players are picking him outside the top 100 in 2025 Fantasy football drafts. SportsLine's model, however, says he'll outperform players such as David Njoku and Tyler Warren, both top-100 picks, making Ertz a Fantasy sleeper to target.

Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2025 have identified: Titans running back Tony Pollard. The 28-year-old is coming off a career-high 1,079 rushing yards in his sixth NFL season for his third straight 1,000-yard season. He rushed for more than 100 yards in three of his final nine games of the season in his first year in Tennessee, and with Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, expected to start the season at quarterback, the Titans have the chance to be a significantly improved offense.

Pollard could receive an even larger workload earlier in the season than expected after Tyjae Spears suffered a high ankle sprain during the preseason and will miss at least four games. If Pollard gets off to a hot start and builds a rapport with Ward and the offensive line, he could sustain a high snap count the majority of the season. Pollard is going outside the top 25 running backs in ADP, and the model sees value in taking Pollard with the chance of an improved offense as a 2025 Fantasy football sleeper candidate. See which other Fantasy football sleepers 2025 to pick here.

SportsLine is also extremely high on a veteran wide receiver to surprise with his production. The model says this wideout is a shocking top-10 option ahead of younger stars like A.J. Brown and Drake London. You can only see who it is, and the 2025 Fantasy football rankings for every player, at SportsLine.
