3 Players who will Outperform their ADP
Selecting players who are in the best position to outperform their ADPs is a crucial component in winning your fantasy league. Take a look at three players who are being undervalued for various reasons.
When it comes to your draft, there are countless strategies you can take to maximize your chances at winning a championship. Strategies such as zero RB, adversely RB dominant, and even TE heavy have all proved successful at one time or another. However, regardless of which strategy you plan to deploy in your upcoming draft, the winner of your league will be determined by the manager who simply drafts the most players who outperform their draft position. With that, here are three players to target throughout different areas of your draft that are likely to fall into that category:
Tyreek Hill

Tyreek Hill:
At this point, it’s unbelievable that one of the most dynamic receivers in the NFL, who has turned in top 2 WR finishes in 2 of the past 3 years, is currently being drafted as WR13 with an ADP of 27.0. Despite an underwhelming 2024 season, one in which Hill battled with quarterback inconsistencies, along with a nagging wrist injury of his own, Hill is primed and ready to regain his dominance in 2025. Following a tumultuous end to last season, one in which Hill essentially quit on his team, he has since returned claiming to be a changed man, with a renewed focus and motivation heading into the season. While it would be unreasonable to expect Hill to return to peak form from 2-3 seasons ago, it is still highly likely that the Cheetah outperforms his WR13 label. Take him ahead of players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR12) and Ladd McConkey (WR11).

Chuba Hubbard:
Hubbard emerged as a breakout star in 2024, finishing as RB14 in PPR formats despite missing the final two games of the year due to injury. Hubbard enters the 2025 season ready to continue to flourish in what should be an improved Panthers offense under second year head coach Dave Canales. After early career struggles, QB Bryce Young showed drastic improvement throughout the second half of the 2024 season. That, coupled with the Panthers selection of Arizona WR Tetairoa McMilan 8th overall in this past draft, signals that this Panthers offense is ready to take off. As we’ve seen in the past, when an offense focuses on opening up their passing game, it only increases space for running backs to operate in. Don’t at all be surprised when Hubbard takes advantage of this increased space and outperforms his current RB18 draft slot. Take him ahead of players like Kenneth Walker (RB17), Omarion Hampton (RB16), and Breece Hall (RB14).
Colston Loveland

Colston Loveland:
The rookie out of Michigan has found himself in quite possibly the most ideal spot. He enters a Bears offense with Caleb Williams primed for a second year leap, led by head coach Ben Johnson. Why is that significant? Just two seasons ago, Ben Johnson produced the overall TE1 in rookie Sam LaPorta. Choosing to select Loveland at 10th overall with fellow rookie TE Tyler Warren still available was no accident. Johnson clearly sees Loveland as his Sam LaPorta of Chicago, and will undoubtedly use him in similar ways. Currently, Loveland is being selected as TE12, with a ceiling that can project as high as TE3 right behind star TEs Trey McBride and Brock Bowers. If Loveland is able to come even halfway towards his ceiling, it makes him a must draft with an ADP of 108.7. Take him over Tyler Warren (TE11) and Jonnu Smith (TE8).
