Two sleepers per offensive position anchor a bold, value-first view for 2025 fantasy football. Brock Purdy is highlighted as a QB10 ADP with a path to top-5 fantasy upside if the San Francisco offense stays healthy and the line improves. Michael Penix Jr. lands as a high-upside QB in Atlanta’s system, backed by an improved OL and dynamic pass-catching options. Alvin Kamara appears as a rebound RB despite age and roster concerns, while Tony Pollard is the Titans’ clear focal point, poised for substantial volume. At WR, Rome Odunze is a breakout candidate in Chicago, with Wan’Dale Robinson serving as a reliable target volume engine for the Giants. On tight ends, Tucker Kraft and Ja'Tavion Sanders offer intriguing late-round value with potential early roles due to a WR-injury-heavy start. Ja'Marcus Ingram and Bijan Robinson are also touched on as complementary pieces to round out rosters. This piece keeps players grounded in 2025 ADP reality while highlighting upside paths for savvy fantasy managers.

New York positioned for Week 1 with Russell Wilson as the likely Week 1 starter, surrounded by a tight battle for backups and roster spots as the Giants prune to 53 on August 26. The WR room shapes up with Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton leading the group alongside Wan'Dale Robinson, with Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins pushing for roles and return duties as Olszewski and Ihmir Smith-Marsette contend for the kick return job. The backfield features Tyrone Tracy Jr. as the lead with Devin Singletary, Cam Skattebo and Turbo Miller providing depth and special-teams value, while tight ends Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger and Thomas Fidone anchor the unit behind Greg Dulcich’s odd-man-out status. On the line, Thomas’ PUP status lingers, but the interior anchors and tackles like Runyan Jr., Schmitz, Van Roten and Eluemunor form a capable frontline.

Defensively, Dexter Lawrence and a retooled front combine with a high-motor edge group led by Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns, while Okereke and McFadden patrol inside with Muasau and Board backing them on the green dot. In the secondary, Cor'Dale Flott and Paulson Adebo pace a versatile corner set with Tre Hawkins III and Tae Banks working to stay healthy, and the safeties stabilize with Holland and Nubin ahead of Belton. Special teams remains unchanged with Gano, Gillan and Kreiter carrying the kicking, punting and long-snapping duties for a Giants squad that aims to hit Week 1 in balance and health.

Speedy Thomas Jr. arrives at UCF as a true game-breaker type, a Miami native whose size (5-8, 175) belies his explosive speed and ball-tracking ability. In the Knights’ revamped WR room, his versatility is the centerpiece—lined up inside, outside, and even in jet-sweep looks—creating space and misdirection for teammates. Coaches compare him to Wan’Dale Robinson, underscoring the quick-twitch playmaking Thomas can bring to this Big 12 transition era.

Thomas isn’t just a receiver; he’s a catalyst for a unit built largely from transfers and younger players. He’s embraced a leadership role and is already forming chemistry with peers like DJ Black, Marcus Burke, and Chris Domercant. Offensively, UCF envisions him as a multi-faceted weapon who can produce in space and contribute on returns, while personal goals include leadership and helping the Knights chase a conference title. The overall takeaway for fantasy-minded fans: speed, usage, and schemed touches could yield big, week-to-week upside if the volume aligns with the offense’s pace and play design.

Russell Wilson embraced the Giants’ preseason grind, insisting he enjoys every snap and relishes the rhythm-building reps early in camp. After a 31-12 win over the Jets, he highlighted a 14-play drive against Buffalo and praised Wan’Dale Robinson, Theo Johnson, and Beaux Collins for their ball skills and routes. The day also reinforced that Wilson remains the Giants’ top option, while rookie Jaxson Dart lurks as a high-upside challenger in a quarterback room that could soon test the veteran’s hold on the job.

For fantasy folks, the message is clear: New York’s offense might be dialing up things earlier than expected if the starters stay on the field. Hyatt flashed big-play potential, Robinson looks like a steady target, and Collins’s splash plays hint at a broader WR corps that could deliver weekly fantasy value if the rhythm translates to real games. Preseason success isn’t predictive, but it does signal possible upside for Wilson’s connection with a revamped supporting cast.

The Jets and Bills serve as stern test opponents, underscoring the Giants’ intent to push tempo and precision. So long as Wilson remains the starter and the offense proves capable of translating practice-field efficiency into game-script points, savvy fantasy managers should monitor WR chemistry, offensive line cohesion, and the timing between Wilson and the young playmakers as the season approaches.

Travis Kelce faces age and volume headwinds in 2025 as Kansas City diversifies its passing game with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown taking on bigger roles. Kelce’s career-best 2022 output (110 receptions on 152 targets for 1,338 yards and 12 TDs) contrasts with 2023-24 dips, and a 2024 target decline underscores the shift. Noah Gray flashed as a reliable secondary option, while Rice and Worthy appear ready for more consistent production. The forecast suggests Kelce remains a fantasy monster, but his target share could soften as the Chiefs spread balls around.

In this framework, 2025 projections lean toward a leaner KC aerial attack. Kelce is pegged for roughly 81 receptions on 113 targets for about 677 yards and 5 TD, signaling a step back in volume even as the offense remains lethal. Yet Rice, Worthy, and Brown could collectively push the Chiefs into a higher ceiling for the passing game overall. The note about a potential 90-target floor if Mahomes expands the playbook adds an optimistic yet cautionary tone for fantasy managers.

Bottom line for fantasy: Kelce remains elite, but Rice and Worthy stand out as high-upside sleepers, and Brown’s health could unlock additional weekly volatility. Noah Gray offers a safe tie-in option, while Mahomes’ propensity to diversify targets heightens upside for multiple Chiefs pass-catchers in 2025.
