Knowing the platform you are drafting on is crucial. Take some time to go through the rankings and ADP on the site to make sure nothing is missed on draft day. The rankings across the platforms vary and can be surprising. This ADP tool will show how different they are across the sites.

Sleeper ADP Value Discrepancies for Fantasy Football 2025

Quarterback

Justin Fields | Jets (FL Rank: QB 10, ADP: QB15)

Justin Fields is the example of the disconnect at times between reality and fantasy. Fields has his flaws as a quarterback, but he’s going to run often. The rushing yards give him a high floor. He averages 50.2 rushing yards per game in his career. 

Fields has shown throughout his career to be a QB1 when he gets the chance to play. In six starts last year for the Steelers, he was seventh in fantasy points per game. Fields was QB9 and QB5, respectively, in fantasy points per game in his last two seasons with the Bears. I am more in line with the Fantasy Life ranking.

Running Back

Jordan Mason | Vikings (FL Rank: RB29, ADP: RB39)

It’s clear Jordan Mason is going to play a key role in the offense. Minnesota traded for Mason from San Francisco and signed him to a two-year deal that includes $7 million guaranteed. Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said he sees Aaron Jones and Mason as 1A-1B. Mason is averaging 5.3 yards per carry in his career on 236 carries. 

Mason was good when he got the chance to start last season, averaging 106 rushing yards per game. Mason forced 37.3% missed tackles, according to Next Gen Stats. The Vikings improved the offensive line and will look to run. Jones turns 31 in December and Mason will be even better if Jones were to miss time.

Joe Mixon has been falling in drafts due to the uncertainty surrounding his foot injury. He’s 29 and coming off a bad finish to the season. He had 57 rushing yards or fewer in five of his last six games. 

While Mixon had a good season last year, he is dependent on volume to get there. He was 14th in snap share, fifth in opportunity share and had 281 touches in 14 games. Mixon has missed all of training camp and that’s a concern. He’s a risky pick unless he falls far in drafts without more detail on the status of his foot.

Wide Receiver

Tetairoa McMillan | Panthers (FL Rank: WR22, ADP: WR28)

The average drafter tends to have trepidation on drafting rookies early since we haven’t seen them in the NFL. Embrace the risk. Tetairoa McMillan was drafted with the eighth overall pick and it tends to mean the team has big plans for him. The Panthers needed a big target for Bryce Young and they got one with McMillan, who is 6-foot-5 and 219 pounds.

McMillan had a nice over-the-shoulder catch down the sidelines for 30 yards in his first preseason game. McMillan steps into a situation where he will command the most targets. No player on the roster had a target share of more than 15% last season. 

Ricky Pearsall | 49ers (FL Rank: WR38, ADP: WR43)

It’s all setting up for Pearsall to have a big start to the season. Brandon Aiyuk won’t be ready for the start of the season and there’s no clarity on when he will return coming off a torn ACL and MCL. Jauan Jennings is out due to a calf injury and wants a new contract. It leaves Pearsall being the top receiver.

Pearsall was drafted in the first round in 2024 and the team is high on him. Pearsall missed the start of last season after being shot, dealt with injuries and closed his rookie season strong. In the last two weeks of the season, he finished as the WR7 and WR14, respectively. Pearsall is too low on the Sleeper ADP.

Emeka Egbuka | Buccaneers (FL Rank: WR44, ADP: WR49)

When Emeka Egbuka was first drafted by the Buccaneers at 19th overall erarlier this years, it raised some eyebrows. The team has Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan, and wide receiver wasn’t a glaring need. Evans turns 32 this month, Godwin is coming off a second surgery on his ankle in the spring, and Egbuka was one of the most talented receivers in the draft.

Egbuka has continually gotten praise for his performance in training camp and how he doesn’t look like a rookie. There’s a possibility Godwin misses a few games to start the season and possibly start on the PUP list. Once Egbuka gets the chance to play, he likely won’t be taken off the field and the Buccaneers use a lot of three-wide sets. The Sleeper rank is way too low and I am even higher than the Fantasy Life consensus rank.

Tight End

Jonnu Smith | Steelers (FL Rank: TE21 , ADP: TE11 )

Jonnu Smith was one of the best values last season. He became a focal point of the Dolphins’ offense with a 20% target share and finished as a Top 12 tight end in 10 of 17 games. He had 88 catches for 884 yards with 8 touchdowns. 

With Smith traded to the Steelers, he won’t come close to those stats. He is in a spot where he will get some targets, but it won’t be a pass-heavy offense. He will compete with Pat Freiermuth at tight end with DK Metcalf getting the bulk of the targets. If Smith gets used in the slot, there’s a chance he’s second on the team in targets. Smith will be playing in an Arthur Smith offense for the third different team. In the three years with Smith as offensive coordinator, Smith finished as TE20, TE16, and TE17. The Sleeper ADP of 11 is too high.
