We are less than one month away from the start of the 2025 NFL season, which means the onslaught of 2025 Fantasy football drafts is quickly approaching. Whether you play in just one Fantasy football league or have too many to count, preparation is key for success when forming a 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy. Fantasy football draft strategies have drastically changed in recent years, going from the days of first-round quarterbacks to the seasons where nearly the entire opening round was running backs.

Top 2025 Fantasy football picks
The Fantasy football draft bible features Nagel’s 2025 Fantasy football sleepers relative to ADP, including:
Austin Ekeler, Commanders (ADP: No. 117): When the one-time fantasy giant moved on to the Commanders from the Chargers, many football analysts wrote him off as washed. Those who paid attention know the veteran dual-threat RB proved his detractors wrong before an injury derailed his season. Ekeler hit double figures in each of his first five games and eight times overall before missing Weeks 13-17 because of a concussion. As a change-of-pace and third-down back, he will likely again provide upside as a flex in a high-powered offense. The rugged but limited Brian Robinson is expected to return as the early-down back, and the team is reportedly excited about the potential of seventh-round pick Jacory Croskey-Merritt, but Ekeler should have a role, regardless, and provide value at his ADP.
J.K. Dobbins, Broncos (ADP: No. 123): Broncos coach Sean Payton made no secret of his unhappiness with the production of his backfield last season. His first solution was moving up to draft the explosive R.J. Harvey from Central Florida in the second round. The well-traveled and injury-prone Dobbins was later added, and numerous reports have suggested Dobbins will be the opening-day starter. The injury bug remained a crutch for the versatile back, as an MCL sprain caused him to miss Weeks 13-17. Even so, he still set career highs for rushing attempts (195), rushing yards (905) and receiving yards (153). Although his health will always be a factor, there’s little risk in grabbing Dobbins, who could emerge as a reliable flex or RB2, at this ADP.
