Fantasy Football All-Value Team: 7 Draft Targets and Sleepers for 2025

James Conner - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Joey Pollizze's all-value team for 2025 fantasy football drafts. His top sleepers and draft targets, including James Conner, Dak Prescott, and more.

Every season, there are value picks throughout fantasy football drafts. These players go under the radar for multiple reasons and wind up being consistent fantasy options. A few players who fell under that category in 2024 were Jayden Daniels, Chase Brown, Bucky Irving, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Jerry Jeudy

With another fantasy season right around the corner, there should be plenty more value picks emerging in the middle-to-late rounds in this year's drafts. In this article, we will look at two quarterbacks, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end who are considered value picks in 2025 fantasy football drafts. These seven players should be on your fantasy radar. 

So, which seven players are a part of the all-value team in 2025? Let's dive in and find out.

QB Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Prescott is criminally undervalued in fantasy drafts this season. Although Prescott has dealt with some injuries in recent years, he has been one of the best fantasy quarterbacks when healthy. He has finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback in five of the six seasons he played at 16 games, including a QB3 fantasy finish in 2023. 

There's no doubt that injuries are a major reason why Prescott finds himself going as the QB14 (No. 91) in drafts. He only played in eight games last year due to a season-ending hamstring injury and has played under 13 contests in three of the past five seasons. However, it's hard to ignore his fantasy numbers when he's on the field. 

During that QB3 fantasy finish in 2023, the Cowboys quarterback averaged 20.7 PPR fantasy points per game. While his rushing might limit his ceiling just a bit, there might not be a stronger QB1 target at his ADP. The addition of George Pickens gives Prescott another big-time weapon in the passing game, and the potential is there for him to throw for over 4,400 yards and 35 touchdowns in 2025. 

If he can stay healthy, a top-8 quarterback fantasy finish is surely attainable for the 31-year-old. He has emerged as one of the best pocket-passers in the game and currently has the second-best odds on DraftKings to finish with the most pass yards in 2025. Therefore, he's an exceptional value pick in the eighth/ninth round of one-quarterback leagues. 

 

QB Justin Fields, New York Jets 

We all know what to expect from quarterback Fields in fantasy when he has the starting job. His rushing ability gives him a high fantasy ceiling, and he can be started as a reliable QB1 each week. That has certainly been the case over the last three seasons. Even though Fields only started six games for the Steelers last year, he averaged 19.1 fantasy points across those six contests. 

Before that, Fields averaged 18.4 fantasy points across 13 games with the Bears in 2023 and finished as the overall QB7 in 15 games in 2022. As a result, the new Jets quarterback is a fantastic value pick at his QB10 ADP (No. 100 overall) in fantasy drafts. There aren't many quarterbacks going around him who have the fantasy ceiling and floor that he does in 2025. 

With no quarterback competition behind him, it's almost inevitable that Fields will be New York's quarterback for the entire year, barring injury. The last time he played at least 15 games in a season (2022), he rushed for a whopping 1,143 yards and eight touchdowns while also throwing for 2,242 yards and 17 touchdowns. 

Fields might be going as the QB10 in drafts, but he has the upside to finish as a top-6 fantasy quarterback this year due to his rushing potential. The 26-year-old rushed for at least 50 yards in three of his six games last year and averaged 9.2 carries per game in those contests. So, there's definitely a lot to love about his fantasy game in 2025, especially with Garrett Wilson possibly boosting his passing numbers as well. Luckily, Fields' toe injury was more of a scare than anything serious.

 

RB James Conner, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals running back Conner continues to defy the odds. In his age-29 season, Conner put together one of the most impressive seasons of his career. He rushed for a career-high 1,094 yards and eight touchdowns and also caught 47 passes for 414 yards through the air. Those strong numbers helped the veteran finish as the RB11 in PPR fantasy formats. 

Of course, there are some concerns with Conner entering the year. He just turned 30 years old and has never played a full season in his career due to injuries. Those two reasons could be why the Cardinals' running back is currently going as the RB20 (No. 51 overall) in fantasy drafts. However, the veteran appears to get better with age. 

He has logged over 1,000 rushing yards in back-to-back campaigns and showed no signs of slowing down last year. He averaged 15.9 PPR fantasy points per game across 16 contests. Considering Conner is the clear RB1 in this Arizona offense, he should have another strong fantasy season. 

The 30-year-old has been one of the more consistent fantasy players in recent years, finishing inside the top-20 at the running back position in four straight seasons. The age might be a slight concern, but trust his proven fantasy track record. That makes him a solid RB2 target in the middle of drafts. 

 

RB D'Andre Swift, Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears running back Swift was one of the biggest fantasy football winners in the offseason. The Bears didn't grab a running back in free agency, waited until the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft to take a running back (Kyle Monangai), and signed Ben Johnson to be their next head coach. All that makes Swift a value pick in fantasy drafts. 

The 26-year-old should lead this backfield in carries and total yards while emerging as a reliable RB2 fantasy option for the sixth straight year. Swift has never finished lower than the RB21 in PPR formats in his career and just finished as the overall RB19 in PPR formats last season. He now gets a play-calling upgrade in Johnson, whom he is familiar with from his time in Detroit. 

Although Swift only had 99 carries the last time he was with Johnson (2022), there just isn't any competition for him in this Chicago backfield this season. Roschon Johnson averaged a career-worst 2.73 yards per carry last year, and Monangai faces an uphill battle to see a significant role in Year 1. 

Therefore, Swift is one of the best running back value picks in fantasy drafts. He is currently going as the RB21 (No. 55 overall) and has every opportunity to finish as a top-17 fantasy option at the position in an ascending Bears offense. Given his potential usage in the passing game in a Johnson-led offense, he should be a consistent RB2 option again. 

 

WR Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas Raiders 

There's no doubt Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Meyers is not the sexiest pick in drafts. He won't finish as a WR1 and likely won't have many massive fantasy days. Meyers scored above 22 PPR fantasy points just twice in 2024. Nevertheless, Meyers continues to be an underrated fantasy pickup in drafts. 

The 28-year-old just had a career year in which he totaled 87 catches for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns in 2024. That led to Meyers finishing as a career-best WR19 in PPR formats. He averaged 14.5 PPR fantasy points per game and was a reliable WR2 option throughout the season. The Raiders' playmaker scored in double figures in PPR formats in 10 of his final 13 games. 

Now, he gets a quarterback upgrade in Geno Smith. After ranking 45th in target accuracy and 62nd in quarterback rating per target among all wide receivers last season, Meyers will get to catch passes from a quarterback who ranked fifth in true completion percentage (75.4%) and third in deep ball completion (44.1%) in 2024. 

The Raiders also didn't add much target competition for Meyers this offseason, adding just two wide receivers via the NFL Draft. The team selected Jack Bech in the second round and Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the fourth round. Neither rookie wideout, though, should eat into the veteran's target share. 

That makes Meyers almost a must-target in drafts. He has a WR45 consensus ADP (No. 92 overall), which feels too low for a wide receiver with a quarterback upgrade and faces little target competition -- outside of tight end Brock Bowers

 

WR Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers 

Fantasy managers saw what San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jennings could do as a top option in this offense. With Brandon Aiyuk tearing his ACL in Week 7 and Deebo Samuel Sr. struggling to make an impact, Jennings stepped up as a reliable target in the passing game. He finished with 77 catches for 975 yards and six touchdowns. 

Those solid all-around numbers helped Jennings finish as the overall WR24 in PPR formats. While he did have plenty of inconsistent fantasy games throughout the season, we should expect the 28-year-old to be an even better fantasy option in 2025. He had an impressive 26.3% target share in 2024, and there's a strong chance he starts the year as San Francisco's WR1 with Aiyuk still recovering from his ACL injury. 

Even though Jennings recently requested a new contract or a trade, the expectation is that the 49ers' wide receiver will report to training camp. So, there should be no concern surrounding the playmaker's availability for the start of the season. With a WR39 ADP (No. 82 overall), he is a sneaky target at this point in drafts due to his upside in this Kyle Shanahan offense. 

 

TE Evan Engram, Denver Broncos 

After spending the past three seasons with the Jaguars, tight end Engram was released by the team early in the offseason. Engram then signed a two-year, $23 million deal with the Denver Broncos in free agency. This landing spot is a fantastic one for the veteran playmaker, considering he should be the No. 2 option for quarterback Bo Nix in the pass game. 

Engram is also expected to fulfill the "Joker" role in this Sean Payton offense. Payton has used a "Joker" in his offense for most of his career, which focuses on moving a running back or a tight end around the formation to create mismatches. Given that the 30-year-old will operate in this role during the 2025 season, the potential is there for him to finish as a top-5 fantasy tight end.

As a result, Engram is a fantastic value pick at his TE8 ADP (No. 88 overall) in fantasy drafts. He should be a PPR cheat code in this Denver offense, especially since Nix ranked 30th in yards per attempt and 27th in air yards per attempt in his rookie season. When Engram finished as the TE2 in PPR formats with the Jaguars in 2023, his target depth ranked 28th among all tight ends that year. 

That means Engram has every opportunity to bounce back following an injury-riddled 2024 campaign. He should maintain a solid target share in that "Joker" role, and it's fair to assume he will finish first or second in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns in this Denver offense. There might not be a better value pick at the tight end position this year.
