Fantasy Football ADP Updates (with consistency) – 6/9/2025 Fantasy Football: ADP
WR Jayden Higgins HOU
Jayden Higgins was the 2nd round pick (34th overall) in this year’s NFL draft for the Houston Texans. He joins a wide receiver room with Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, and fellow rookie Jaylen Noel as his top competition. Noel was a teammate of Higgins during college, and the Texans took Higgins first in the draft. We have to anticipate that the Texans see an immediate role for him. Reports have all been positive from OTAs as he’s been praised as “electrifying”.
Higgins posted a 31.4% college target share, which put him in the 93rd percentile. His latest college season saw him post 87 receptions, 1,183 yards receiving, and 9 touchdowns. With 295 targets over his final three seasons, Higgins only registered 4 dropped passes. This has contributed to Higgins rising 18.6 spots in the latest ADP.

(ADP +18.6, pick 137.5, Rostered 41.2% on ESPN redraft/snake)
Listed at 6’4″ and 210 lbs, Higgins has the prototypical size for an NFL wide receiver. At that size, his 4.47 40-yard dash stands out as a rare blend of speed and size. Higgins routinely wins on all three levels while playing inside and outside. The Texans will move Collins and Higgins around to take advantage of mismatches to create easy throws for C.J. Stroud.
At this point, Higgins is in the middle of the 11th round (WR80). That’s too low for me as he’s sandwiched by players such as Keenan Allen, Jack Bech, and Amari Cooper. Two of those guys aren’t even on a team right now. Higgins has a great shot to be this year’s most productive rookie wide receiver and should provideThe Best 2025 NFL Sophomore Quarterback Breakout Factor! WR2/WR3 value. I’m not leaving any of my drafts without taking a shot on him.
TE Dallas Goedert PHI Fantasy Football: ADP.
The Philadelphia Eagles seem to be stacked at almost every position. Dallas Goedert fits that bill as he’s a potential TE1 for fantasy football. Goedert playing for the reigning Super Bowl champions and having a historical belief that he’s a top tight end usually has him being a top 10 pick at the position. Down 20 spots in ADP this week, it’s looking like fantasy managers have reason to doubt this season.
Before May, many wondered whether or not Goedert would be traded or retained in Philadelphia. That was answered in the first week of May when the Eagles gave Goedert a guaranteed $10 million one-year contract. It’s great he’s back in Philly, but it’s only a one-year deal, and there’s another looming issue: age. Goedert turned 30 years old in January, and although some tight ends put up numbers in the twilight of their career, it’s not a positive in most cases.
(ADP -20.0, pick 143.3, Rostered 78.7% on ESPN redraft/snake)
Goedert’s age and his contract aren’t the only concerns, though. Goedert has been labeled as “injury-prone” over his career. He’s missed at least three games every year for the past three seasons, which includes seven games missed last year. Availability is huge for fantasy football consistency, and Goedert missing so many games each year is enough to push younger tight ends above him in ADP (Dalton Kincaid, David Njoku, and Tucker Kraft).
Goedert is still listed as TE13 and is drafted in the later part of the 11th round. In a run-first offense led by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts, it’s hard to imagine Goedert breaking out this year. His ceiling is around low-end TE1, where he’s being drafted. With no wiggle room, I’ll let others reach for Goedert on name value while I look for high upside picks like Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, and Pat Freiermuth several rounds later in drafts.
QB Jared Goff DET
The original trade that landed Jared Goff in Detroit is mind-blowing. In January 2021, the Rams and Lions completed a historic trade that would alter both franchises. The Rams would win the Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford, and Jared Goff would help turn around one of the worst franchises in the NFL recently. This week, we see Goff dropping in ADP, 15.8 spots.
This drop will even out as we get closer to the NFL season, but it’s time for fantasy managers to be all-in on upside. Goff’s biggest issue is a lack of rushing upside. Fantasy managers know that a running quarterback is a cheat code. Over his career, Goff has hit over 100 yards rushing once, and that was seven years ago when he was still in L.A. He has no rushing upside, so fantasy managers rely on his passing numbers for points.
(ADP-15.8, pick 148.4, Rostered 72.5% on ESPN redraft/snake)
Despite the lack of rushing, Goff has proven the doubters wrong and put up borderline QB1 fantasy seasons. He was QB8 last year, QB15 in 2023, and QB16 in 2022 in points per game. Not bad for a pocket passer, but the issue remains that these are ceiling outcomes for Goff.
Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson left to be the Head Coach in Chicago. With his departure, most analysts predict a decrease in offensive efficiency for the Lions. Goff thrived in Johnson’s system, but the jury is still out on him. Goff is currently ranked QB10 and is being drafted in the 12th round. That’s not going to kill your team, but you’re paying for him at his ceiling, and for that reason, I’m out.
WR Emeka Egbuka TB Fantasy Football: ADP
Not surprising to find another rookie wide receiver on the rising ADP list. Emeka Egbuka was one of the hottest prospects leading up to the NFL draft. The Buccaneers showed how much they wanted Egbuka by making him the 19th overall pick in the 1st round.
Fantasy managers loved the draft capital but immediately worried about the landing spot. Tampa Bay already has Mike Evans (future Hall of Famer), Chris Godwin, and last year’s 3rd round pick, Jalen McMillan, on the roster. Due to that landing spot, many early drafts had Egbuka going later than he should have been.
(ADP 11.1, pick 137.4, Rostered 61.3% on ESPN redraft/snake)
As the offseason has moved forward, fantasy managers are starting to pick up on Egbuka (11.1 spot riser in ADP this week). Despite Evans and Godwin being great, they have been injury-prone throughout their careers. Evans is 31 and Godwin is 29, both in the back nine of their careers. Combine those things with Egbuka dominating in college. He is the all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards at Ohio State, a school that is arguably WRU (Wide Receiver University, the best college at producing wide receivers).
Egbuka is ranked as WR56, and his ADP has him being selected in the 11th round. I’m more bullish on Higgins, whom I wrote about above, but I’m not ignoring that Egbuka is a top-level wide receiver. As long as he doesn’t move up into single-digit rounds within drafts, I plan to have quite a few shares of Egbuka. He’ll have standalone value based on his talent profile alone (WR4), but if Evans and/or Godwin miss any time, we could be looking at a WR2 value every week.
RB Isaac Guerendo SF Fantasy Football ADP
Every fantasy season, savvy fantasy managers scour depth charts and one of the first things they look at is the San Francisco 49ers. The starting running backs for Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers have routinely missed time during his tenure, and during that time, the fill-in has been very productive. Last year, we watched Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo have some good games during Christian McCaffrey‘s absence.
Mason has already appeared on a couple of ADP mover lists this offseason for me (he’s a big mover again this week at +16.5), but today I wanted to highlight his running mate from last season. When McCaffrey got hurt, it was Mason’s shot, but when he eventually went down, we got to see Guerendo. In games where Guerendo got 10+ touches, he averaged 16.26 points per game. That would’ve been good enough for RB5 in points per game in 2024.
(ADP +7.2, pick 154.5, Rostered 33.6% on ESPN redraft/snake)
Now that Mason has moved on to the Minnesota Vikings, the 49ers drafted Jordan James in the 5th round of this year’s draft. That’s not a lot of draft capital, and fantasy managers are split on whether Guerendo or James becomes the team’s RB2 behind McCaffrey. The position is extremely valuable, and getting the player who wins that positional battle would give you a great advantage. With the production from Guerendo and James being a 5th-round pick, it appears fantasy players are making the move this week to Guerendo.
Being drafted in the later part of the 12th round, Guerendo is almost free. At that cost, it’s worth a dart for a guy who’s already had a stretch where he put up top 5 running back points per game in the NFL. The biggest pitfall might be needing to draft the entire 49ers’ running back room. This means drafting McCaffrey in the late 1st, snagging Guerendo in the 12th, and then grabbing James in the 14th to have the starting RB. There’s a good chance that Guerendo becomes one of the ultimate handcuffs for fantasy, and he’s a great dart throw late.
RB Tyjae Spears TEN Fantasy Football ADP
The Tennessee Titans picked Cam Ward 1st overall in the NFL draft. He projects to be a quarterback upgrade over Will Levis, last year’s starter for the Titans. That said, fantasy managers are targeting the backfield as potentially a high-usage position. Tony Pollard is the starter, but he’s 28 years old and coming off of back-to-back seasons with his lowest yards per carry (4.2 and 4.0). Insert Tyjae Spears as the popular running back to target.
Spears has shown flashes in his two years in the NFL. Last year, over his final three games, he averaged 20.7 points per game as the lead running back. That would’ve made him RB3 in points per game for the season, just ahead of Bijan Robinson. He caught 12 passes on 15 targets during that three-game stretch. His pass-catching and ability in space make him a big play waiting to happen.
(ADP +12.9, pick 129.0, Rostered 66.7% on ESPN redraft/snake)
Those big plays in the pass game often came after contact. Spears had 101 yards after contact after the catch last year. That total was ahead of notable pass-catching backs Jahmyr Gibbs (92), JaVonte Williams (93), and Aaron Jones Sr. (96). All of those guys also had 50+ receptions last season, while Spears only had 30 (he missed 5 games).
The Titans plan on utilizing Spears more, as evidenced by his 61% snap share to end the 2024 season. He didn’t just get the snaps, he showed that he deserved them. With Cam Ward as the new QB, I expect Spears to be used early and often as a drop-down target. You can get him in the 10th round of drafts, and he’s capable of RB2/RB3 results. I’m not sleeping on him, and you shouldn’t be either.
Fantasy football is starting to heat up as we hit the Summer months. Drafts are happening, and people are coming out of hibernation to pick up their NFL news.
