Top 5 Best Value Picks for DraftKings $15M Best Ball Contest 2025

Chuba Hubbard, RB, Carolina Panthers (ADP: 51.91, RB29)

Chuba Hubbard at ADP 51.91 is a screaming value for a running back who could anchor your Best Ball roster in 2025. Fantasy Alarm’s Howard Bender profiled Hubbard as an ultimate target for him this season as the Carolina Panthers’ lead back, Hubbard has proven his workhorse ability, consistently handling a high carry volume while contributing as a pass-catcher in a revitalized offense. 

With a healthy Bryce Young and an improved offensive line, Hubbard’s role in a run-heavy scheme under Dave Canales makes him a PPR gem. His mid-round ADP is a steal for a player with a clear path to RB2 production and RB1 upside if the Panthers’ offense takes a step forward. Draft Hubbard in rounds 5-6 to secure a reliable, high-volume RB who could outshine pricier backs and power your roster.
 

 

 

Evan Engram, TE, Denver Broncos (ADP: 93.96, TE12)

Fantasy Alarm’s Andrew Cooper is high on Evan Engram this season and at ADP 93.96 he is a flat-out bargain for a tight end poised to dominate in 2025. Now with the Denver Broncos, Engram’s knack for commanding 100+ targets makes him a Best Ball treasure in a position where consistency is hard to find. 

Catching passes from Bo Nix, his reliable hands and ability to rack up receptions ensure a high floor, with the potential for a top-5 TE season in a new system under Sean Payton and Joe Lombardi who know how to use the tight end in their offense. Grabbing Engram in rounds 8-10 lets you lock in a set-and-forget tight end while stacking your roster with elite RBs and WRs early, giving you a massive edge in the $15M Best Ball contest.
 

 

 

Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys (ADP: 103.61, QB12)

Dak Prescott at ADP 103.61 is an absolute steal for a quarterback ready to light up scoreboards in 2025, especially with the Cowboys’ blockbuster offseason addition of George Pickens to complement CeeDee Lamb. 

Fresh off a hamstring injury that sidelined him in 2024, Prescott is back and leading a revamped offense under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 

With Pickens’ deep-threat prowess (16.3 yards per catch over the past three seasons) and Lamb’s elite production (135 catches, 1,749 yards in 2023), Prescott boasts a WR duo that could rival his 2020-21 success with Amari Cooper. 

His ability to post 30-point games in a pass-heavy scheme makes him a Best Ball superstar, offering top-5 QB potential at a QB2 price.
 

 

 

Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati Bengals (ADP: 27.54, RB27)

It took an injury but Chase Brown was a breakout star in 2024, rushing for 990 yards and seven touchdowns while adding 54 receptions for 360 yards and four scores. Heading into 2025 his ADP currently sits at 27.54 as he is ready to shine in Cincinnati’s high-octane offense. 

His speed and receiving skills make him a PPR machine, and his touchdown upside is huge in a Joe Burrow led offense. Even with Zack Moss on the roster, Brown should still seize the lead-back job, offering true RB1 upside while maintaining a solid floor if he was to fall back into a committee. 

His reasonable draft cost in rounds 3-4 makes him a perfect Best Ball target, delivering massive upside in a dynamic offense. 
 

 

 

Jameson Williams, WR, Detroit Lions (ADP: 45.63, WR45)

Jameson Williams can be a game-changer at ADP 45.63, his elite speed and downfield, big-play ability in Detroit’s offense keeps defenses honest which often leads to favorable coverage matchups as defenses look to stop the run and contain Amon-Ra St. Brown. Williams had a breakout season in 2024, finishing with career highs in targets (91), receptions (58), yards (1,001) and touchdowns (7).

As the WR2 behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Williams is finally healthy and poised to have another huge season as a deep-ball threat, capable of 100-yard, multi-TD games that can swing Best Ball weeks. His WR4 price tag hides his WR2 upside, making him a steal in rounds 4-5.
