The Most Overvalued and Undervalued Players in 2025 Fantasy Football Entering August

Fantasy football draft season is approaching as NFL training camps begin despite summer heat. Savvy managers are preparing by reviewing camp reports and adjusting rankings, with finding value being crucial to success. Drafting undervalued players builds playoff teams, while overvalued players can ruin seasons early.

Josh Allen (ADP: QB1, 23rd Overall) is identified as overvalued. While acknowledging his elite real-world performance (3,731 passing yards, 28 TDs, 6 INTs, 12 rushing TDs, 2023 MVP), drafting him in Round 2 is problematic. Three quarterbacks outscored him in fantasy last year, and drafting at his ceiling offers limited upside. Experts argue QBs drafted immediately after him (Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts) could deliver comparable production at lower cost. Additionally, the gap between the QB1 (6.8 fantasy points per game over QB12 last season) is smaller than at RB or WR, and taking a QB this early creates significant roster holes at those premium positions. The analysis concludes better quarterback value exists later in drafts.

The piece also hints at undervalued quarterbacks (ADP: QB14, 104th Overall), suggesting fantasy managers often unfairly blacklist players who disappointed them the previous season, potentially creating draft-day bargains.
