The 2025 Fantasy Football Draft season is upon us, and it’s crucial to pay attention to the Los Angeles Rams due to several factors. Quarterback Matthew Stafford is battling a back injury that may hinder his performance in the regular season. If Stafford is sidelined or not at full strength, wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams may see a decline in their projected Fantasy Football Average Draft Positions (ADPs), which are currently within the first three rounds.

However, running back Kyren Williams could gain from a potential focus shift in the offense. With backup Jimmy Garoppolo possibly taking over as the team’s signal caller, Williams, with a projected ADP in the top two rounds, might be a pivotal pick in drafts.

Last year, the model indicated that Bills running back James Cook would significantly exceed his ADP (RB14). As a result, Cook rushed for 1,009 yards, scored 16 touchdowns, and caught 32 passes for 258 yards and two additional touchdowns, finishing as RB8 in CBS Sports PPR leagues. His emergence as a scoring threat established his reputation as a Fantasy football superstar.

The same model has consistently provided reliable Fantasy football advice, recognizing A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020, accurately predicting Jonathan Taylor’s breakout year in 2021, and foreseeing C.J. Stroud’s decline in 2024. It also correctly identified past sleeper picks like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Those who trusted these players had strong chances to contend for their league titles.

Top 2025 Fantasy Football Sleepers

One such sleeper predicted by the model is David Njoku, tight end for the Browns. At 29 years old, Njoku is coming off his best per-game Fantasy season, finishing as TE4 in Fantasy points per game. After missing seven games due to injuries, he is under the radar in Fantasy drafts this year.

Njoku ranks high in target share and yards per game among qualified tight ends, and he was TE2 in Fantasy points per game across five games with Joe Flacco as quarterback in 2023. Flacco is set to return as the starter for the Browns this season. The model rates Njoku above several tight ends drafted earlier, making him a sleeper to watch.

Another identified sleeper is Geno Smith, quarterback for the Raiders. The Raiders have reunited Smith with his former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. In his first full season as a starter in Seattle, Smith threw for close to 4,300 yards and a career-high 30 touchdowns. Also, with the hiring of Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator and the drafting of running back Ashton Jeanty, Smith adds to an intriguing offense with second-year tight end Brock Bowers. The model positions Smith comparably to C.J. Stroud in its rankings despite his later ADP. Discover additional Fantasy Football sleeper picks here.
