Fantasy Football Sleepers: Emanuel Wilson, Quentin Johnston, Jalen McMillan (2025)

While 2025 fantasy football redraft leagues won’t start until July, what’s the fun waiting until then to think about next season?

Therefore, let’s look at non-rookie early fantasy football sleeper picks for next year. Here are all of my early 2025 fantasy football sleepers.

Early 2025 Fantasy Football Sleepers

Emanuel Wilson (RB – GB)

The Packers and fantasy players couldn’t be happier with Josh Jacobs. The superstar finished the year as the RB5, averaging 16.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, he had 67.5% of the backfield rushing attempts, totaling 301 carries, the second-highest total of his career. Green Bay will likely want to lighten his workload in 2025. While MarShawn Lloyd was the prized third-round rookie, he played in only one contest because of injuries. Meanwhile, Wilson averaged 4.9 yards per rushing attempt and 0.79 fantasy points per touch this season.

Quentin Johnston (WR – LAC)

After having an awful rookie season, Johnston bounced back in 2024. The former TCU star finished the year as the WR37, averaging 9.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he finished 13th in the NFL with eight receiving touchdowns. More importantly, Johnston stepped up after returning from an injury. He was the WR24 from Week 9 through Week 18, averaging 10.5 fantasy points per game. Unless the Chargers add a big-name wide receiver in the offseason, don’t be surprised if Johnson has his first top-20 finish in 2025.

Jalen McMillan (WR – TB)

McMillan was a league winner as a rookie. He was the WR7 over the final five weeks, averaging 6.2 targets, 1.4 touchdowns, and 17.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Fantasy players should expect him to build on that success in 2025. Chris Godwin is a free agent this spring. The veteran turns 29 in February and is coming off a dislocated ankle injury. Even if the former Penn State star returned next season, expect McMillan to earn more playing time and targets in Tampa Bay’s pass-happy offense.
