Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates: Mid-Round Draft Values and Targets for 2025

The top of a fantasy football draft isn't too difficult. Sure, we have our preferences, but the group of guys going in rounds one and two is there for a reason. It's hard to mess up. The middle rounds are where you can win and lose a league. Hit on those picks, and it seems […]

NFL DFS Lineup Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel: Preseason Week 3 (Saturday, 8/23/25)

We did it, team, we made it through the three-week slog that is the NFL preseason. Tonight’s four-game slate won’t be nearly as juicy as last night, where we saw multiple starting quarterbacks play into the second quarter. Outside of Miami and possibly Las Vegas for a series or two, we won’t see any team […]

9 Fantasy Football Breakout Wide Receivers: Florio's Mid-Round and Later-Round Picks

You may have heard that breakouts win championships! It is why I am a big believer in taking upside shots in the middle and later rounds of your fantasy football drafts rather than going after safe floor plays. If you can build a safe core in the early rounds, a breakout player or two elevates […]

11 Fantasy Football Later-Round Lotto Tickets: Nick Mariano's Favorite 2025 Draft Sleepers

We love to nail those early draft picks to set the tone for success, but there's nothing like turning those last couple of picks into a league-winner. The zero-to-hero dynamic is too alluring. And there's no point in clogging the end of our bench with a plodder who is just going to trickle in 4-7 […]

Adam Koffler's Early-Round Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Landmines to Avoid (2025)

I love talking about all of my favorite draft day targets. But what I find even more enjoyable is helping people stay away from overvalued players each and every year. All of these wide receivers come with risk at their average draft position (ADP). Whether it's injury risk, quarterback risk, or offensive environment risk, there […]

Overall D/ST1 Contenders - Sneaky Fantasy Football Team Defenses With Upside to Draft

The D/ST roster spot has been eliminated from some fantasy football leagues because, well, it's so tough to predict. While you can trust your best wide receivers and running backs to at least get you a meager 10 points in the worst of their games when they're not injured, not so for defenses. It's the […]

Second-Year Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates - Sophomore Sleepers to Draft

The 2025 NFL regular season is quick approaching. Fantasy football leagues will be drafting daily, and managers will be starting their push for a fantasy championship with their draft prep.

While many spend their entire spring and summer preparing for the NFL Draft and their dynasty rookie or startup drafts, August is firmly redraft territory.

Hello, RotoBallers! If you are looking for fantasy football breakout candidates, you have come to the right place. In this article, I will discuss my top five breakout candidates for the 2025 fantasy football season.

5 Late-Round Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Sleepers and Value Picks: Upside WRs to Draft (2025)

Back in 2020, when everyone was finding new hobbies, I decided to try my hand at flipping and reselling. There was something about digging through the shelves and finding that one hidden gem (like that vintage Houston Oilers shark tooth hat that made me shake). A $2 flip turned into something way more valuable. That's […]

2025 Fantasy Football Draft Guide: Where To Target Each Position

One of the great things about fantasy football is that every year is different, and if you simply deploy the same strategy and approach to your drafts every season, you're probably not going to give yourself the best chance to win every year. Everyone has their favorite way to approach drafts, and there are multiple […]

Andy Smith's Fantasy Football League-Winners: 6 Must-Draft Players (2025)

Hello RotoBallers! Training camp is underway, and the Hall of Fame Game is just around the corner, which means it is time to start digging deep into fantasy football.

Crowded Fantasy Football Backfields to Chase: 8 Committee Running Back Draft Targets (2025)

There has been research on leaning into the uncertainty and examining crowded backfields. We discussed the Giants, Vikings, and Commanders in a previous article covering a few other backfields.

Fantasy Football League-Winners: Nick Mariano's 8 Must-Draft Players (2025)

We often hear the term "league-winner" in fantasy football, but what does it mean? Many use it to describe late-round picks that yielded juicy profit compared to their average draft position. We saw Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams snag those honors in 2023, with last year supplying the likes of Bucky Irving. However, a league-winner […]

Wide Receiver Target Hogs - Upside Fantasy Football Picks for 2025

Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb will lead their team in targets. They have high odds to lead the league in targets, something each has done once in the last three seasons. But they play with good, if not great, secondary options. Chase has Tee Higgins. Jefferson has former first-round pick Jordan Addison opposite […]

Third-Year Fantasy Football Draft Values: Upside Picks At A Discount (2025)

Over the last few years, we have increasingly seen fantasy football managers lean into youth more than ever before. This is largely because we have had a plethora of young players enter the league and immediately return elite results. However, just because a player isn’t a high-end contributor right out of the gates doesn’t mean […]

Adam Koffler's Dark-Horse Fantasy Football League-Winners: 7 Affordable Draft Targets with Upside

I’m sure you’re used to hearing it by now. The tight-end position in fantasy football always feels like dart throw after dart throw if you don’t pay up early for one of the elite guys.

$5 Fantasy Football Auction Draft Values - Cheap Sleepers with Upside (2025)

Who doesn't like to get a deal? Very few things in life are as rewarding as "bag fries". You know what I am talking about: after you eat all your fries, you throw the bag out, only to discover more fries! For fantasy managers, bag fries is slang for a great player value in an […]

Fantasy Football League-Winners: 6 Dark-Horse Overall RB1 Contenders

Yes, you should draft Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs this season. However, unless you're playing in a league with an auction draft, you won't be able to do that. So instead, target these more affordable running backs with varying average draft positions who have the potential to finish the year as the overall RB1. All […]

11 Fantasy Football Breakout Running Backs - Florio's Mid-Round and Later-Round Picks

Breakouts are what win fantasy football championships.

The 8 Biggest Mistakes Fantasy Football Players Make: Kasey's Expert Advice and Analysis (2025)

Who Should I Draft? Isiah Pacheco, Brashard Smith, Kareem Hunt Fantasy Football Outlooks

The Kansas City Chiefs have a bit of a quagmire at running back right now. Veterans Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt (quad) were the team's two lead backs last season.
