12 UNDERVALUED Fantasy Football Players To Keep An Eye Out For In 2025 (Ep. 1591)

Our trio reunites to bring you their top starts and sits of the week! Have fantasy managers been too hard on Le'Veon Bell (8:18) and is Mitch Trubisky (29:46) a viable streamer? It's tough to be enthusiastic about starting Nick Chubb (38:46) and deep leaguers may want to exercise caution if they're contemplating Latavius Murray (49:57) as a flex option. The show ends with the guys previewing Thursday's matchup between the Texans and the Chiefs (59:07).

Jake Ciely of The Athletic is back on with us for a fun-filled episode! On today's show, the guys discuss the latest NFL headlines (3:15) before answering the big question of who's the next Miles Sanders (12:22)? Which top-10 RB has the chance to become the next Le'Veon Bell (20:07) -- a disappointing early-round RB -- and who is the next Michael Gallup (32:22) -- a mid-round under-the-radar WR who could break out? Later on, we move to a new game named Fantasy Over/Under. Will D.K. Metcalf (44:30) finish the season ranked over or under WR18 and will Cooper Kupp (52:00) end 2020 over or under a WR17 ranking? The guys round out the pod with their NFL award and Super Bowl predictions (56:51). Sponsors: OwnersBox - The new wave of fantasy sports is finally here. Be the FIRST to try Weekly Fantasy Sports!

We brought in Scott Fish, creator of the Scott Fish Bowl, to help us dissect how Adrian Peterson's (2:56) arrival affects Detroit's backfield and share his thoughts on which players fantasy managers should consider stashing. Are any of the Jaguars' RBs (12:11) outside of Chris Thompson worth holding, who is the better bet for fantasy value between Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman (35:37), and is Gardner Minshew (50:52) worthy of a spot on your bench? The show later concludes with us answering your listener mailbag questions! What is our process when deciding who to drop from our bench when working the waiver wire and (59:08) and what is the ideal bench structure (1:01:34)?

Sports Medical Analyst Dr. David Chao joins the show to break down the injuries to Alvin Kamara (3:22), Jalen Reagor (5:50), and Mike Williams (8:36). Our guys then cover Washington's release of Adrian Peterson (11:55) and how that impacts their backfield moving forward. The rest of the show is dedicated to our favorite draft tips (19:35). It may be smart to plan ahead and have multiple players queued up for your next pick (21:40) and you can maximize your team's value by drafting multiple late-round, high-upside TEs (40:35). Be extra cautious on players with injury concerns (48:36) and pair your stable QB with a high-upside signal-caller late (56:35). Sponsors: SuperDraft - The future of fantasy sports has arrived!

Justin Boone of theScore is on with us to give his take on the latest in the Alvin Kamara (4:03) and Joe Mixon contract situations before we dig deep into which players have moved up and down our rankings the most. Does the reward heavily outweigh the risk with Ronald Jones (23:35), should fantasy managers pay more attention to Marquez Valdes-Scantling (38:57), and will A.J. Green's (46:47) latest injury woes prevent him from seeing the field soon or are the Bengals just being cautious with him?

Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys.com joins the pod to share which players he likes much more or less than our expert consensus rankings and we also give our thoughts on Alvin Kamara's (6:14) contract-related absences from practice and whether he's worth taking fourth overall. Is Antonio Gibson (12:25) being undervalued or is he priced correctly, are we overlooking Jerry Jeudy (32:46) in drafts, and should Joe Burrow (47:56) be on fantasy benches in Week 1? The guys close out the show with a fun game of Fantasy Odd Man Out (54:13). Sponsors: FanDuel - This season, there’s a brand new way to play fantasy football on FanDuel.
