A critical aspect of your Fantasy football strategy involves determining the value of rookies. Each year, these players often emerge as sleepers, breakout stars, or disappointing picks due to the uncertainty of their deployment. For 2025, we see Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty as the most sought-after rookie, currently with an Average Draft Position (ADP) of 11. Among other newcomers making waves in drafts are Omarion Hampton (37), TreVeyon Henderson (44), and RJ Harvey (56).

In addition, Travis Hunter (72), Cam Skattebo (93), Quinshon Judkins (102), and Matthew Golden (113) are rookies who might offer significant value later in the draft, warranting attention when developing your strategy for Fantasy football in 2025.

Before finalizing your draft plan, check out Jacob Gibbs’ 2025 Fantasy football PPR rankings on SportsLine, highlighting deep sleepers, breakouts, and standout players.

Looking ahead, a breakout player predicted by Gibbs is George Pickens of the Cowboys, recently acquired from the Steelers. With high potential for targets in Dallas’ pass-heavy offense, Gibbs ranks Pickens as a top-50 player, exceeding current ADPs. Gibbs describes it as “a perfect storm for a spectacular season for Pickens.”

Another player to keep an eye on is Bhayshul Tuten, a running back for the Jaguars with great upside, but currently regarded as a late-round pick. Gibbs believes Tuten can significantly outperform his draft position if he refines his skills.
