Mike Evans has been a favorite target of every quarterback who has come through Tampa Bay. The 6-foot-5 wide receiver is a threat in the end zone and middle of the field, and his combination of size and speed has resulted in him achieving a feat only Jerry Rice has. Evans tied Rice for the most consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards (11) last year, and given how focused Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield was the final week of the season to ensure Evans reached 1,000 yards last year, should your 2025 Fantasy football strategy include all but guaranteeing the Mayfield-Evans connection reaches 1,000 yards again?
Evans turns 32 before the start of the season, but he’s emerged as one of the Fantasy football sleepers in recent years. Evans also had 11 touchdowns, his fourth season with at least 11 over the last five years, so where should he fall in 2025 Fantasy football rankings? Before crafting your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2025 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Bills running back James Cook would comfortably outperform his ADP (RB14). The result: Cook rushed for 1,009 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding 32 receptions for 258 yards and two more scores as a receiver. He finished as RB8 in CBS Sports PPR leagues and his maturation into a scoring threat cemented his status as a Fantasy football superstar.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020, nailing Jonathan Taylor’s monstrous season in 2021 and correctly predicting C.J. Stroud would take a step back in 2024. Additionally, it’s called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Anybody who banked on players like those made a run at their league title.
The model is powered by the same people who generated projections for all three major Fantasy sites, and it beat human experts last season when there was a big difference in ranking. The 2025 Fantasy football PPR rankings and 2025 Fantasy football standard rankings update multiple times daily, so you’re always getting the best Fantasy football advice.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football rankings 2025, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2025 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2025 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Cowboys running back Javonte Williams. Dallas had a clear need at running back this offseason, but they decided to address it shrewdly. Jerry Jones let 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle walk in free agency, spent a total of $4.2 million to sign Williams and Miles Sanders and then spent fifth and seventh-round picks on Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah, respectively.
Williams appears to be the most versatile of the four backs in Cowboys camp and the early indication is that he’ll be first in line for touches. Whoever seizes the opportunity in Dallas will be running behind one of the NFL’s best interior offensive lines and that alone makes all four of these players worth a flier at varying stages of the draft. Ultimately, the model ranks Williams well inside its top 30 running backs despite the fact that he’s been the 33rd RB off the board on average.
Another sleeper that SportsLine’s Fantasy football rankings 2025 have identified: Saints running back Alvin Kamara. He rushed for a career-high 950 yards in his eighth NFL season on 4.2 yards per carry, his best since 2000. But his biggest Fantasy football appeal over the last few years has come from his involvement in the passing game, and his 89 targets last year were also the most since 2020. Kamara had 68 receptions for 543 yards for 1,493 total yards last year, ranking T12 in the NFL despite only playing 14 games. Jonathan Taylor was the only player who played 14 games or fewer with more total yards than Kamara.
Kamara turns 30 before the start of the season, and some are weary about selecting a 30-year-old running back earlier in Fantasy football drafts. But Kamara should be an integral part of the New Orleans offense yet again. The Saints didn’t select a running back until the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft and didn’t make significant investments at the position in free agency. Given Kamara is coming off one of his most productive NFL seasons, he is in a prime position to become a 2025 Fantasy football sleeper as an often underrated player in Fantasy football drafts.
