These overlooked players can carry your team to a championship in 2025

6 Mid-Round VALUE PICKS To Target in Every Draft
Undervalued Players Can Lead You To Fantasy Football Championships…

Last Year They Were:

  • Courtland Sutton

  • Terry McLaurin

  • George Kittle

  • James Cook

These 6 mid-rounders could be this year’s breakout values:

George Pickens
Cowboys WRs have ranked top 10 in fantasy points in 5 of the last 6 years…
Pickens enters his prime in the best offense of his career.
Lamb + Pickens could rival Chase + Higgins as the league’s top WR duo.
Fifth-round price tag is a steal.

Omarion Hampton
Over his last 25 college games:

  • 3,100+ rush yards

  • 30 touchdowns
    True workhorse profile with back-to-back 300+ touch seasons.
    Najee averaged just 3.9 YPC last year—3rd worst among 200+ carry RBs.
    ALWAYS bet on 1st-round rookie RBs behind mediocre vets.

Justin Fields
Fantasy Points/Game (As Starter):

  • 2022: QB6

  • 2023: QB12

  • 2024: QB7
    He’s locked in as a top-12 QB when healthy.
    Now has the best weapons of his career—and no competition.
    Still being drafted as QB19?

Jake Ferguson
2024 derailed by a Week 1 knee sprain + no Dak from Weeks 10–18.

Now going as TE14—outside the top 100.
Still a priority late-round target.
