Fantasy football draft season is here, and identifying promising sleepers before your 2025 drafts begins is crucial. In PPR formats, players who receive a lot of targets are highly sought after. For instance, Josh Downs, a wide receiver for the Colts, is gaining traction despite not being well-known yet. He had a remarkable 29.6% target rate in 2024, ranking among the top players in the league.

Downs demonstrated significant potential with a 25.6% target share, improving to 26.4% in the red zone. Now that Daniel Jones is set as the starter for Indianapolis, it will be interesting to see how his performance evolves.

Moreover, notable breakouts from the 2025 season are anticipated, such as Bhayshal Tuten, a running back for the Jaguars, who, although starting the season behind others, possesses exceptional speed and agility that could elevate him in the rankings.

Additionally, Matthew Golden, a receiver for the Packers, looks poised for a significant role, especially with Jayden Reed nursing an injury. Golden had a productive college season, recording 58 receptions for 987 yards and nine touchdowns.

Jacob Gibbs emphasizes the need for comprehensive rankings and deep dives into statistics to successfully navigate the fantasy landscape. For more insights, check the 2025 PPR rankings with deep sleepers, breakouts, and best values as analyzed by SportsLine Fantasy football analysts.
