Overview of 2025 Fantasy Football Sleepers

The value of a receiver often hinges on the performance of their quarterback, a fact well illustrated by Courtland Sutton’s experience last year. Playing under rookie quarterback Bo Nix early in the season hindered the Denver Broncos’ passing game, causing Sutton to underperform. However, as the season progressed, both Nix and Sutton improved, making Sutton a sleeper for the 2025 season. By the end of the year, Sutton ranked seventh in fantasy points among receivers after starting the season ranked 43rd.

Sutton has had less than stellar production in prior years due to inconsistent quarterback play. With Nix showing promise, Sutton’s trajectory appears positive for 2025.

Furthermore, the model predicts another sleeper: Raiders quarterback Geno Smith. Smith accomplished career highs in passing yards and touchdowns last season and will be cooperating again with coach Pete Carroll. With promising talent like Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty in the roster, Smith could emerge as a significant fantasy asset.

Another noteworthy sleeper is Saints receiver Rashid Shaheed, who experienced a downturn last season due to injury. With solid averages in his playing time, Shaheed is expected to bounce back stronger.
