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...WHO ELSE IS JODY HIGH ON THIS YEAR?
