Jody Smith’s 2025 Draft Targets

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…

High-Stakes Fantasy Football Strategy: Building a Champion

By Adam Krautwurst

Fantasy football in 2025 is a different beast than it was four to five years ago. The explosion of dual-threat quarterbacks, evolving backfield committees, and the increasing unpredictability of weekly usage make high-stakes fantasy formats—where entry fees can top four or even five figures—a razor’s edge game of risk management, foresight, and cold-blooded decision-making. High-Stakes Fantasy Football Strategy covers it all.

If you’re reading this, you’re not here for fluff. You’re playing to win. You’re not satisfied with “making the playoffs”—you want the trophy, the cash, and the clout. Whether you’re in FFWC or private high-stakes leagues, this deep-dive strategy guide will help you prepare for the chaos ahead.

1. Master the 2025 Draft Landscape: Know the Shifts

Quarterback Chaos and the Tier Cliff

We’re firmly in the golden age of elite fantasy QBs. Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson have company now. Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow (when healthy) could be season-defining picks. But here’s the key in high-stakes: you must draft with tier cliffs in mind.

Elite QBs aren’t just luxuries—they’re weekly matchup-proof war machines. In 6-point TD leagues, grabbing one early is not just viable—it’s often necessary. In traditional formats, the decision is trickier.

Strategy Tip:

If you want an elite QB, you have to be ready to pounce by the end of Round 4. If not, just wait and take the value that falls in the middle rounds.

2. RB Strategy in the Age of the Split Backfield

Zero RB truthers had a tough year in 2024 with the lack of injuries to older running backs like Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara, and James Conner.. Handcuffs like Trey Benson and Blake Corum rarely saw the field. Committees aren’t inherently bad. They make your job harder.

2025 Trends:

  • “Wide Zone” Offenses are spreading, emphasizing speed backs and unpredictability.

  • Rookie RBs like Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson are walking into opportunity-rich systems.

  • Contracts and Usage: Veteran bell-cows are nearly extinct—except for a few like Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley.

Strategy Tip:

Anchor or Hero RB is viable again—but only if you nail it. Draft a stud in Round 1 (McCaffrey, Bijan, Saquan), then hammer WRs while loading up on RBs from ambiguous situations in Rounds 7–11 (think D’Andre Swift, Brian Robinson, Jaylen Warren). Monitor OL upgrades closely—bad lines destroy upside.

3. Wide Receiver Depth Wins Leagues

The WR pool is deeper than ever, but high-stakes leagues reward top-end scorers more than mid-tier consistency. Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, Puka Nacua, and Amon-Ra St. Brown are not luxuries in high-stakes—they’re your weekly WR1 floor.

Why Stud WRs Matter More Than Ever:

  • Rule changes and softer defensive coverage favor wide receivers.

  • Elite wideouts are…

Incorporating player proposition betting markets into my yearly projections has played an integral role in becoming the No. 1-ranked high-stakes season-long fantasy football player in Las Vegas.

Once you get into Dynasty Leagues you learn that the fantasy football season never ends. As soon as the champion is crowned, dynasty zealots start looking ahead to the next crop of rookies. For those serious fantasy fanatics, this is FullTime Fantasy‘s 2025 Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings.
