In today's Fantasy Life Newsletter, we're breaking down the latest in Tampa Bay, unveiling our staff's QB sleepers for 2025, and more.

In today's Fantasy Life Newsletter:
It’s been a busy few days down in Tampa. Let me catch you up to speed on a trio of developments that should be altering your draft plans …
Obviously losing McMillan is a blow, but the Bucs are deep enough at WR to weather that storm—especially if Godwin is back sooner rather than later.
Here’s how I’m playing it …
Looking at our QB tiers, you can see that Mayfield is slotted in as the last signal caller in Tier 2. It’s always nice to scoop a guy before the tier ends …

Oh, and I assume it goes without saying, you should continue targeting Emeka Egbuka aggressively—especially if he dips at all on this Godwin return news.

Our crew of Fantasy Life rankers will be unveiling their positional sleepers for the 2025 fantasy football season throughout the next three days, with quarterbacks kicking us off today.
Dwain, Ian, Freedman, and Kendall put their minds together to highlight the quarterbacks going later than they should, who have all the ingredients needed to smash their ADPs, headlined by polarizing Year 2 QB—Dwain’s No. 1 sleeper, who was STOLEN right out of his hands by Ian Hartitz—Caleb Williams:
“Da Bears QB1 didn't exactly live up to "generational" expectations as a rookie, although that's not too uncommon. After all, just six rookie QBs have produced top-12 numbers in fantasy points per game over the last decade.
Good news: The flashes were still there, and positive rushing TD regression is expected. Williams also now finds himself inside of what sure looks like one of the league's most fantasy-friendly offensive environments:
Williams wasn't without fault as a rookie, but man, the organization has essentially done everything in its power to surround him with better resources ahead of year two. I prefer taking a barbell/first-or-last approach at the position this year—don't be afraid to click Williams in the double-digit rounds once the top-36 RBs, top-50 WRs, and top-10 TEs are already well off the board.”
There are three remaining QB sleeper targets for 2025 from our staff. Let’s dive in. ⤵️

Everyone loves fantasy football rankings, but does everyone love defenses in fantasy football? The verdict is still out, but they’re a piece of the drafting puzzle many of us have no choice but to address.
Sure, these picks won’t come until the very end of your draft, outside of early reaches, and you could just cycle through defenses based on weekly matchups throughout the year. But again, we’re required to play a defense … in most cases.
So, to help guide you through the absolutely brutal, treacherous waters of prioritizing DSTs for 2025, Jonathan Fuller has put together the ultimate rankings and tiers guide for fantasy DSTs:
