Over the past 24 hours, several notable developments and analyses have emerged in the realm of fantasy football, particularly as the 2025 season approaches.
### Draft Strategies and Sleepers
In a recent YouTube video, a fantasy football enthusiast shared insights from a best ball draft, highlighting key picks and sleepers. The video mentioned Tank Bigsby as a top sleeper, praised for his potential by several fantasy experts. Another notable pick was Jaylen Wright, who could see significant production if injury-prone players ahead of him are sidelined. The video also discussed the value of drafting Anthony Richardson, despite his current shoulder soreness, which has dropped his draft position from rounds 13-14 to round 16[1].
### Player Profiles
Pro Football Focus (PFF) released an in-depth player profile for Drake Maye, the new quarterback of the New England Patriots. This profile breaks down Maye's fantasy football prospects for the 2025 season, providing detailed analysis for fantasy managers considering him in their drafts[2].
### Sleepers and Dark Horses
FantasyPros identified several sleepers with average draft positions (ADP) after the 120th selection in half-PPR leagues. These players are poised to exceed expectations and provide value to fantasy teams[3].
Additionally, Pro Football Network highlighted nine dark horse candidates who could finish as the overall RB1 in fantasy football. One notable mention is De'Von Achane of the Miami Dolphins, whose performance is heavily dependent on the health and presence of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Achane's efficiency and volume metrics suggest he could achieve Christian McCaffrey-like upside if he marries his 2023 efficiency with his 2024 volume and plays a full season with Tagovailoa[4].
### Expert Opinions and Mock Drafts
YouTube channels and fantasy football experts have been conducting mock drafts and sharing advice for the upcoming season. Videos such as "6 Running Backs the EXPERTS are WRONG About!" provide contrarian views and unique perspectives on running back rankings, helping fantasy managers make informed decisions[5].
These updates reflect the ongoing preparation and analysis within the fantasy football community as the 2025 season draws near, emphasizing the importance of staying informed about player profiles, draft strategies, and potential sleepers and dark horses.
