Jody Smith’s 2025 Draft Targets

August 22, 2025 Jody Smith

They say the early bird gets the worm. I’m one of the earlier analysts to post my 2025 fantasy football rankings, but the value in those picks has eroded. I’m the only ranker who finished inside the top 4 last season that has posted rankings, so maybe it’s a correlation, or the market figuring it out. Regardless, I’ve been at it for months and have accumulated Jody Smith’s 2025 Draft Targets that I’m in on this season.

Most of the drafts I have done are analyst/expert drafts, which are different than home leagues. But, these draft targets are the players I want to walk away from every draft rostering. Even if it means I target them a round ahead of their current ADP.

These are ‘my guys’ that I’m currently higher on than their consensus rankings.

Quarterbacks

Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers)

The 49ers fell off after an NFC Championship in 2023. However, looking at the preseason odds, Vegas thinks the Niners will rebound. Wtb 9.5 wins, San Francisco is projected to win the NFC West and has the 8th-highest Super Bowl odds. This team is projected to be good, and Brock Purdy is the perfect fit in Kyle Shanahan’s offense. I’ve had Purdy as high as my QB6, significantly higher than his QB11 ADP.

Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers)

Herbert battled injuries throughout the 2024 season but still posted QB1 numbers. The additions of Tre’ Harris and Keenan Allen give Herbert an upgraded supporting cast, but the loss of Rashawn Slater will have a negative impact. Still, I think Herbert is a good value with a good shot at posting top-10 fantasy numbers. Additionally, the Chargers have a very favorable strength of schedule for Herbet to exploit.

Drake Maye (New England Patriots)

There is a lot of buzz about Maye, as the Patriots are moving in the right direction. That starts with coaching and playing for Josh McDaniels should be a boon for Maye’s dual-threat skill set. Maye is a dark horse to lead all quarterbacks in rushing. He also has top-10 upside…

2025 Preseason Pro: Adam Krautwurst

August 13, 2025 Jody Smith

The 2025 NFL preseason is underway. That means the fantasy football draft season has finally arrived! Our annual Flagship Feature is called Preseason Pro. This 2025 Preseason Pro: Adam Krautwurst continues the exclusive insight you can find only at FullTime Fantasy.

Here at FullTime Fantasy, we’ve assembled the very best high-stakes players in the world: 5 of the Top 10 World-Ranked players, and one of the top RANKERS in the country — to help you win your Fantasy Football league.

Nobody else in the industry can bring you this type of information. Also, we host the Fantasy Football World Championships and these players are gracious enough to lend us a hand to help promote the very best content in the industry.

Each of them is putting their reputation on the line for all to see and is providing us with their:

ONE Top Sleeper, ONE Breakout, ONE Bust

ONE Comeback, and ONE late-round Stash & Cash.

to help you with your upcoming draft. However, it’s only one per category! They don’t know what anyone else has submitted, so you’re getting the genuine gut check from the best players in the world. High rollers have offered some of them hundreds of dollars for this kind of private advice. And that’s just one opinion. Here you’re getting no less than SEVEN, and Preseason Pro continues to be the elite product of the fantasy season.

This year’s Preseason Pro picks are included FREE with your FullTime Fantasy Membership!

What makes their opinion so worthy? Simple. They win. Year in and year out, they’re winners. While some may ask, “Why would they help me?”, there is no question that when their pride and integrity are on the line, they step up and make bold calls to help others. When we have questions on Sunday, this is who we call. We’re essentially bringing our high-stakes connections to FullTime Fantasy.

When your league is on the line, who do you trust? A magazine that contains out-of-date news? No. Those days are over. Not all experts are considered equal.

WHO IS ADAM KRAUTWURST? You may know Adam as the host of the FullTime Fantasy Podcast and other notable fantasy programs, including our GRINDTIME show. However, Adam is also an outstanding high-stakes veteran with notable wins. Adam is the reigning KFFSC Big Payback champion (x2) and boasted a Main Event top-5 finish in 2020. Additionally, Adam has a $2500 auction league victory and a 3K Varsity win under his belt.

Adam also dabbles in projections and rankings, favoring an aggressive, proactive approach that separates him from your average analyst. Just part of the territory that comes with being a diehard Buffalo Bills fan from upstate New York.

Last year, Adam touted Pat Friermuth as his sleeper. Now, let’s read who he is targeting and fading with the 2025 Preseason Pro: Adam Krautwurst.

WHO WILL BE ADAM’S SLEEPER, BUST, COMEBACK, AND LATE-ROUND STASH FOR THE UPCOMING FANTASY FOOTBALL SEASON?

To finish reading Adam’s Preseason Pro picks for Sleeper, Bust, Breakout, Comeback, and Stash & Cash for 2025…
