Fantasy Football Sleepers 2025
If you want to dominate your fantasy football league in 2025, this is the article that gives you the edge. We’re breaking down six must-draft wide receiver sleepers that are being completely overlooked in fantasy drafts. These WRs bring value, upside, and insane breakout potential that could turn your average roster into a championship contender.
Whether you’re using a Robust RB Strategy, Zero RB, or a balanced draft approach, these WRs offer the deep value you’re hunting for in rounds four and beyond. These aren’t basic sleepers. These are league-shifting steals. And yes, there’s even a bonus pick at the end you don’t want to miss.
Let’s dive into these 2025 fantasy football WR sleepers that can change your season.
1. Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR21 ADP)
Yes, Marvin Harrison Jr. isn’t your traditional sleeper. But coming off the board as WR21, he’s a steal with top-5 upside. There is zero competition for targets in Arizona. He’s already the alpha wide receiver in that offense, and Kyler Murray has a history of supporting fantasy-relevant WRs (DeAndre Hopkins in 2020 anyone?).
Last year, MHJ saw 116 targets and turned them into 62 receptions and 885 yards. That stat line is only going to grow. He’s locked in as the WR1, and the Cardinals didn’t invest in another WR this offseason. Get him in Round 3 and watch him explode.

2. Courtland Sutton (WR24 ADP)
Sutton is one of the safest values at wide receiver this year. He finished 2024 with 81 receptions, 1,000+ yards, and 8 TDs. With Bo Nix expected to improve in year two, Sutton remains the undisputed WR1 in Denver.
He’s in a contract year and has no major target competition. You can grab him in the 4th or 5th round and lock in a steady WR2 with WR1 upside. Look for Rookie Pat Bryant to emerge here as take this job though!
3. Tre Harris (After Round 9)
This rookie out of Ole Miss has the physical tools and opportunity to shine early. Drafted in Round 2, Trey Harris walks into a situation where Quentin Johnston has flopped and Ladd McConkey is overhyped.
At 6’2, 205 lbs, with strong YAC skills and reliable hands, Harris projects as the future X receiver in this offense. He could quickly move up the depth chart, especially if Johnston continues to disappoint. Snag Harris in the late rounds before he breaks out.
4. Dont’e Thornton (Ultra Deep Sleeper)
Undrafted in most leagues, Thornton has 4.3 speed, quick burst, and is working with the first team in camp. This rookie could be a major deep threat with big-play potential. He fits the mold of a boom-or-bust WR, but at his cost (basically free), he’s worth the upside stash.
With an unsettled QB situation, opportunity could strike fast. Don’t wait for the preseason hype — draft and stash him now.

5. Rashid Shaheed (WR51 ADP)
He was banged up last year, but he’s reportedly healthy and ready to roll. The Saints are thin at wide receiver, and Shaheed has game-breaking speed. While his QB situation is questionable, the path to targets is wide open.
Shaheed is currently going undrafted in many leagues. Add him to your bench now and monitor closely in preseason.
BONUS: Keon Coleman (WR54 ADP)
This is the wide receiver to own in Buffalo. Shakir is fine, but Keon Coleman has the size, speed, and alpha mindset to emerge as Josh Allen’s new go-to weapon. He put on muscle in the offseason and is poised to break out.
Buffalo didn’t draft another WR and seems ready to feature Keon Coleman. If you’re looking for a breakout player who could become a league-winner, this is your guy.
Final Thoughts
All it takes is 2 of these 6 WR sleepers to hit, and your wide receiver corps is set. Stack these values with a top-heavy RB draft strategy and you’ll have a lethal, balanced roster.
Don’t follow the sheep. Be a lion. Draft smart. Draft bold. Win your league.
