As the weather heats up, so does our excitement about the 2025 fantasy football draft season. Whether you play in a casual redraft league, an intense deep dynasty format or anything in between, we at ESPN Fantasy are here to help.

Average draft positions are excellent when it comes to letting you know the general area in which each player is being picked. As any seasoned fantasy manager knows, though, that data can go out the window when your leaguemates start going off script to chase their favorite breakout and sleeper picks.
