7 Sleepers to Target in 2025 Fantasy Drafts

😴 7 Sleepers to Target Late in 2025 Fantasy Drafts

Every year, it happens.
A guy no one’s talking about in August ends up swinging your league in November.

These 7 players are being overlooked, undervalued, and disrespected.
Don’t make the same mistake.

🔥 1. Dylan Sampson – RB, CLE

Age 20 = breakout profile. RBs drafted at 20 tend to:

• Break out more often

• Get more opportunities

• Smash those opportunities

Sampson was Top 10 in rush yards, attempts, and TDs last year in CFB.

And now?

Sampson + Quinshon Judkins = the new Kareem Hunt & Nick Chubb for Cleveland.

• Judkins: Power, strength, workhorse

• Sampson: Elusive, explosive, chunk plays

He’s going Pick 165 and might be the better fantasy back by midseason.

🔥 2. Jaydon Blue – RB, DAL

The Cowboys backfield is… mid.

• Javonte Williams

• Miles Sanders

Blue could emerge as the most efficient RB in Dallas, just like Bucky Irving did last year behind Rachaad White.

Bet on talented rookies stashed behind veterans.

🔥 3. Pat Bryant – WR, DEN

Sean Payton is trying to rebuild his old Saints offense…

• RJ Harvey = new Alvin Kamara

• And now: Pat Bryant = new Michael Thomas?

NFL comp: Keon Coleman
A reliable, physical WR who dominates intermediate routes

The Broncos NEED a WR2 behind Marvin Mims.
Franklin, Vele, and others haven’t stepped up.

Bryant is the best bet.

🔥 4. Ray Davis – RB, BUF

James Cook extension talks have stalled, and in the meantime…

Ray Davis is running with the starters.

Games as a starter last year:

• Week 6: 18.2 fantasy points

• Week 18: 14.6 points

He’s the current RB1 in Buffalo. And he’s going around pick 159. 👀

🔥 5. Cedric Tillman – WR, CLE

Played just 4 healthy, full-snap games last year.
What happened in those games (Weeks 7–11)?

• 18.6 fantasy points per game (WR8 pace)

• 131 air yards (4th among all WRs)

• 1 broken tackle per game (1st)

• 22% target share

Neither Jeudy nor Diontae Johnson play that same role.

Tillman is a big-play machine just waiting to be unleashed.

🔥 6. Chigoziem Okonkwo – TE, TEN

Closed last season strong:

• 6+ targets in 4 of his final 5 games

• Scored as a Top 10 TE from Weeks 12–17

We’ve seen flashes for 3 years now.
He just needs a QB to unlock him.

Best late-round dart throw at TE.

🔥 7. Jordan James – RB, SF

Here’s the truth about CMC handcuffs:

• They always matter

• And most backups aren’t good enough

Enter Jordan James.
A pure rushing monster and perfect fit for Shanahan’s system.

• Guerendo? Taylor? Just guys.

• James is the one to stash.
