For the 2025 fantasy football season, several wide receivers stand out as sleeper targets who could significantly outperform their draft positions:
Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Projected for a breakout season, Smith-Njigba's role in a pass-heavy offense positions him well for fantasy success. His ability to separate and make contested catches could lead to a 1,200+ yard season with 8 touchdowns.
Garrett Wilson - With a promising 2025 outlook, Wilson is expected to thrive as a primary target. His route-running precision and speed make him a candidate for 1,100 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns, making him a valuable mid-round pick.
Tre Harris - Despite being a late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick, Harris's ability to win at the line and against single coverage suggests he could emerge as a key contributor. Look for him to exceed 800 receiving yards with 5 touchdowns as a rookie.
Tez Johnson - Despite size concerns, Johnson's speed and separation skills make him a sleeper candidate. Expect him to contribute significantly in the slot with potential for 700 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Tory Horton - Returning from a knee injury, Horton has demonstrated potential with back-to-back 1,100+ yard seasons. If healthy, he could be a late-round steal with a high ceiling.
Ricky White - As a deep sleeper, White's average of 93.3 receiving yards per game and 19 touchdowns over two seasons highlight his big-play ability, making him a high-upside late-round target.
