Fantasy Football ADP, 2025: July DraftKings ADP, PPR

Average draft position (fantasy football ADP) is one of the most important tools in fantasy football.

Not only is it important to know where targeted players are likely to be drafted, but ADP offers a great look at how the field prices each position and player, opening up the opportunity to find value.

Top DraftKings Best Ball Targets, July

• Drake Maye, ADP: 116.6
• Jayden Higgins, ADP: 105.0
• Evan Engram, ADP: 94.3

It's early in draft season, so let's look at some best ball targets that are going outside the top 90 players at DraftKings.

Drake Maye was the QB7 in fantasy points scored in his full games as a rookie, largely because of his rushing upside. He was the QB8 in rushing fantasy points per game, adding 4.2 fantasy points per contest on the ground. Moving forward, we are hoping he will have better weapons to target in 2025 (Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams), and we expect him to be working with a better coaching situation (Josh McDaniels).

With Tank Dell likely sidelined for the season, the No. 2 receiver spot in Houston is wide open. Higgins is reportedly the clear favorite for that role after showing well in offseason activities, though there are other options for that job including veteran Christian Kirk. Nico Collins is the unquestioned lead guy in the receiver room, but there is room behind him for Higgins to get a fantasy viable target share if he takes that No. 2 job. There is also the potential for more than that if Collins once again misses time. Collins played in just 12 games last season, and he has averaged just under 13 games per season since entering the league.

Speaking of target opportunity, Evan Engram is in a great spot to soak up targets from Bo Nix, though we did not see the then rookie target the position last season. Overall, Broncos tight ends ranked 30th in targets, 29th in receptions, 30th in yards, and 25th in yards per target last year. Engram should be much more involved than that. Despite being limited to nine games last season, he was targeted on 26.6% of his routes. Over his three seasons with the Jaguars, Engram was targeted on 22.2% of his routes, eighth among qualifying tight ends over that span. He has never been a touchdown scorer, but that is less of a concern at DraftKings, which has full PPR scoring.

Top 10 Fantasy Football ADP Risers:

1. Elijah Arroyo
2. Dylan Sampson
3. Jerome Ford
4. Hollywood Brown
5. Tre Harris
6. Anthony Richardson
7. Quentin Johnston
8. Xavier Worthy
9. Omarion Hampton
10. Emeka Egbuka

The recent fireworks mishap for Najee Harris (listed among the fallers below) has unsurprisingly pushed Omarion Hampton up the board.

Hampton was in an interesting part of the draft even before this price increase, and he now presents an even more difficult risk-reward proposition.

On the one hand, he is a first-round pick, a viable big-play threat, playing for a coaching staff that wants to run the ball, and playing behind an offensive line that should be able to open holes.

On the other hand, Harris is a viable veteran threat who held off a more efficient back in Pittsburgh (Jaylen Warren) all while creating fewer big plays than the secondary option.

Ultimately, though, every practice Harris misses — remember, though he is a veteran, he is learning a new system — increases the chances of Hampton being the clear lead back.

If that happens, he can smash his even inflated draft price.

Top 10 Fantasy Football ADP Fallers:

1. Rashee Rice
2. Quinshon Judkins
3. Najee Harris
4. Brandon Aiyuk
5. Jonnu Smith
6. Darren Waller
7. Chris Godwin
8. Taysom Hill
9. Jaydon Blue
10. Ricky Pearsall

The likelihood of a 2025 suspension has unsurprisingly pushed Rashee Rice down draft boards and sent both Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy (above) higher in ADP.

That all makes sense given the information we have right now, but it will be important to watch how long Rice's suspension ends up being.

While the threat of a suspension probably was not priced in correctly, Rice's draft cost could be swinging too far the other direction right now, especially if he ends up missing four or fewer games.

What Rice can do the rest of the season after returning, plus the replacement player that takes his place in fantasy lineups for that first month, will likely outscore the names like D.J. Moore and DK Metcalf who are being drafted around Rice right now.

Remember, Rice has averaged 19.5 points per game over his past nine full NFL games in the regular season.

Worthy came on strong at the end of last season, but his overall efficiency was still not ideal.

Rice is the clear favorite to lead the team in targets when he is available.

Fantasy football is a weekly game.

When Rice is available, he is very likely to be a better weekly option than the players he is currently being drafted around, and he is at least going to be back from suspension when the fantasy games start to matter late in the season.

As it stands, Rice has gone from likely overdrafted to a screaming value.
