Every NFC Team's Most Undervalued Dynasty Fantasy Football Players to Target in 2025

David Montgomery - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Undervalued dynasty fantasy football players for 2025 in the NFC. Target these draft sleepers: Jalen McMillan, Rasheed Shaheed, Rico Dowdle, DeVante Smith, and more.

Dynasty fantasy football is an ever-growing game. Only hardcore players partook in dynasty leagues years ago. However, it has become more common for casual players, too.

Everyone loves seeing a blockbuster trade happen in their dynasty league. Nothing is more exciting than seeing a league-altering move. However, the league-winning moves are the ones for undervalued players.

Let’s look at the most undervalued dynasty player for every NFC team.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

NFC East

Rico Dowdle, RB, Dallas Cowboys

While everyone expects the Cowboys to draft Ashton Jeanty, the same people were sure the team would select a running back last year. Instead, Dallas leaned on Dowdle. The young running back averaged a career-high 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game in 2024. Dowdle could remain the Cowboys starter next season.

Tyrone Tracy Jr., RB, New York Giants

Tracy shined as a rookie despite barely seeing the field early in the year. He finished his rookie season as the RB26, averaging 9.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game while playing on an awful offense. Furthermore, the former wide receiver-turned-running back scored 13.5 or more fantasy points in seven of his final 13 games as a rookie.

DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadephia Eagles

Philadelphia's offense has multiple superstars. While Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown are the two main attractions, Smith is one of the more underrated wide receivers in fantasy football. The former Alabama star was the WR30 in 2024, averaging 12.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, totaling eight receiving touchdowns despite missing four contests.

Zach Ertz, TE, Washington Commanders

The veteran tight end had low expectations last season, with many calling for him to retire. However, Ertz has plenty left in the tank. He was the TE8 in 2024, averaging 8.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, totaling seven receiving touchdowns. Ertz is an upcoming free agent but wants to remain in Washington with Jayden Daniels.

 

NFC North

Cole Kmet, TE, Chicago Bears

Unfortunately, Kmet struggled last year after an impressive 2023 season. The former Notre Dame star ended the year as the TE18, averaging 5.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, he should rebound in 2025. Head coach Ben Johnson made Sam LaPorta a top-7 tight end in both seasons in the NFL. Expect similar production from Kmet starting next year.

David Montgomery, RB, Detroit Lions

Montgomery is one of my favorite dynasty running backs. He is repeatedly undervalued by the fantasy football community. The former Iowa State star was the RB18 last season, averaging 14.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, a higher average than Breece Hall (13.3). More importantly, Montgomery is a lock for double-digit touchdowns for as long as he remains in Detroit.

Romeo Doubs, WR, Green Bay Packers

While Josh Jacobs thinks the Packers need to add a No. 1-caliber wide receiver this offseason, Doubs has been Jordan Love’s most reliable weapon in the passing game. The former Nevada player missed time last year with concussions and a suspension. Yet, he had two games with two receiving touchdowns.

T.J. Hockenson, TE, Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings have an elite receiving corps. Justin Jefferson is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, while Jordan Addison is an emerging superstar. Meanwhile, Hockenson is one of the top tight ends in the league. While he struggled coming off a torn ACL last season, expect the veteran to bounce back in 2025.

 

NFC South

Michael Penix Jr., QB, Atlanta Falcons

Fantasy players didn’t see much from Penix as a rookie. However, the former Washington star has an excellent supporting cast led by Drake London and Bijan Robinson. He averaged one passing touchdown and 14.2 fantasy points per game in his three starts. Yet, Penix had his best performance in Week 18, totaling three touchdowns and 25 fantasy points.

Jalen Coker, WR, Carolina Panthers

While Xavier Legette was the team’s first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Coker had a better rookie season despite being an undrafted free agent. The former Holy Cross player averaged seven half-point PPR fantasy points per game, the second highest among the Panthers wide receivers. Coker could have a larger role next year if Carolina released Adam Thielen in the offseason.

Rashid Shaheed, WR, New Orleans Saints

Chris Olave is the Saints’ clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver. However, Shaheed was having a career year before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 7. He averaged 6.8 targets and 11.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the first six weeks, totaling 11.7 or more in all but two contests.

Jalen McMillan, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers had an outstanding 2024 NFL Draft. Bucky Irving and McMillan look like future superstars. The former Washington receiver could have a sophomore-year breakout if Chris Godwin leaves in free agency. McMillan was the WR7 over the final five weeks, averaging 1.4 touchdowns and 17.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

 

NFC West

Michael Wilson, WR, Arizona Cardinals

While Marvin Harrison Jr. is one of my favorite dynasty buys this offseason after a disappointing rookie year, fantasy players will have to pay a haul to acquire the former Ohio State star. However, Wilson is an appealing cheaper option. He scored 10.3 or more half-point PPR fantasy points in a quarter of the games last season.

Jordan Whittington, WR, Los Angels Rams

Los Angeles plans to trade Cooper Kupp over the next several weeks. While Puka Nacua is the Rams’ unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver, Whittington could step into Kupp’s role. The former Texas player flashed upside early in his rookie season with Nacua and Kupp out of the lineup, including 12.4 half-point PPR fantasy points in Week 5.

Isaac Guerendo, RB, San Francisco 49ers

Hopefully, Christian McCaffrey can stay healthy in 2025 after dealing with multiple injuries last year. While Jordan Mason was McCaffrey’s handcuff to start last season, he is an upcoming free agent. Even if the veteran returns, Guerendo’s explosive skill set is better suited to be McCaffrey’s backup.

Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks have an excellent one-two punch in the backfield. Kenneth Walker III is the starter but has struggled with staying healthy. Meanwhile, Charbonnet has become the top handcuff in fantasy football. The former UCLA player was the RB25 in 2024, averaging 9.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he led Seattle with eight rushing touchdowns.
