Jurickson Profar, Jasson Dominguez, More: Value At OF (2025 Fantasy Baseball)
Draft prep for 2025 is in full swing!
Many fantasy baseball outfielders are flying off the board in the early rounds of drafts, but in deeper leagues, you might need to find some late-round sleepers and gems to fill out your roster.
Fantasy Baseball OF Rankings: Top Value Outfielders For 2025
That said, let’s dig in and find some 2025 fantasy baseball OF sleepers.
For this article, I’m using Fantasy Pros as a reference, with fantasy baseball ADP taken from five major fantasy baseball platforms (ESPN, Yahoo, RTS, NFBC, FT).
Jurickson Profar, Atlanta Braves (2025 ADP: 156.2)
Profar, a former top Texas Rangers prospect, made his debut all the way back in 2012 when he was just 19 years old. Since then, Profar has been a journeyman and spent about half of his MLB tenure as a non-starter.
Profar has had a few useful fantasy campaigns, but he finally put it all together and broke out at 31 years old. Baseball is a funny game, and although it seems like Profar should be pushing 40 at this point, he broke into the bigs as a teenager, and it appears he may be a late bloomer. Some are doubting Profar, but I beg to differ. He may have had a ceiling year (to his standards), but I think he can sustain about 75% of his success from last season.
Profar allegedly reworked his swing last season, and the underlying metrics backed up his production. His xBA was actually two points higher than his batting average, which is an awesome indicator of 2024 not being a fluke. What’s even more impressive was his 44% hard-hit rate, which is BY FAR the hardest he’s ever hit the ball across a full season – and it marked roughly a 13% jump from his 2023 hard-hit rate.
Now, Profar couldn’t be in a better situation as a Brave, as he should be a regular part of a stellar offense. Across his career, Profar has consistently made contact with the baseball, owning a minuscule 15.1% career strikeout rate. He’ll get on base in a fantastic offense, which should provide plenty of chances for runs scored, even if he’s in the bottom third of the batting order.
Jurickson Profar 2025 Fantasy Baseball Projections
Fantasy Alarm has Profar slotted for 13 home runs and 66 RBIs but also 87 runs scored – which is a big number for a player being drafted around Round 13 of drafts.
Other consensus industry projections tab Profar to hit in the .250s and supply about seven stolen bases. Steamer has him at 18 home runs, and quite frankly, I am expecting Profar to be right around that number too after his swing adjustments.
Jasson Dominguez, New York Yankees (2025 ADP: 156.6)
“The Martian” has had plenty of hype attached to his name for a few years, and his name has been constantly associated with top prospect status. But after a cup of coffee in 2023 and an injury-plagued 2024 campaign, Dominguez has logged just 26 games at the MLB level.
However, the departure of Juan Soto (and Alex Verdugo) and the news of Giancarlo Stanton’s upcoming lengthy hiatus has ensured Dominguez all the playing time he can handle. The added playing comes with added pressure, and it didn’t take long for Dominguez to make a fundamental blunder in left field during the opening week of spring training. The Yankees have no choice but to take a few lumps defensively and hope Dominguez can consistently flash his 5-tool ceiling.
Aaron Boone helped boost Dominguez’s stock earlier in spring training when he noted that The Martian was a candidate to bat leadoff this season. Not only would Dominguez get more pitches to hit, but he'd be slotted a few spots in front of the reigning AL MVP, Aaron Judge.
Jasson Dominguez 2025 Fantasy Baseball Projections
Fantasy Alarm projects Dominguez to hit 18 home runs and steal a whopping 31 bases. While I think FA is a little light on RBIs, Zips pegs him for 74 RBIs, and consensus industry projections has him scoring between 65-82 runs this season. Dominguez is a true 5-tool value pick with massive upside to finish as a top-30 outfielder if everything clicks.
2025 Fantasy Baseball OF Sleepers: Other Outfielders With Value
Pete Crow-Armstrong, Chicago Cubs (2025 ADP: 164.8)
PCA is another former top prospect who is having a chance to solidify himself as a top 40 outfielder, with upside for much more.
He has game-breaking speed and has already put that on display in spring training. After a miserable first half of 2024, his OPS, wRC+, wOBA and line-drive rate were all up in the second half of the year. Incoming breakout.
Josh Lowe, Tampa Bay Rays (2025 ADP: 191.8)
It’s Lowe’s world and we’re all just living in it… hopefully, anyway. Check out the player spotlight I wrote last week, and that’ll tell you why I’m gobbling up Lowe shares.
Michael Toglia, Colorado Rockies (2025 ADP: 214.2)
If you’re looking for raw power, look no more than Toglia. He already hit a few bombs in the spring. For once, I’m not thrilled about drafting first baseman, and I really don't want to tie up too much early draft capital on them.
There are too many outfielders with massive ceilings to prioritize the Matt Olsons of the world, so Toglia is one of my top late targets. Industry projections pencil Toglia in for mid-20s home runs with roughly 70+ RBIs. He won’t contribute stolen bases, and his batting average will hurt, but in a perfect world, he has the upside to hit 30-35 home runs.
Player News
Daulton Varsho picked up three hits, three RBI and a homer in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
Varsho has only played in seven games this year, but they’ve been seven good ones. He’s homered three times already, and his slugging percentage is a remarkable — and entirely unsustainable — .727 over 22 at-bats. Varsho has been a mediocre offensive player in his two seasons with the Blue Jays, but it’s possible at the age of 28 he’s having a breakout campaign. Far from a guarantee, but possible.
Taylor Ward hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Blue Jays on Thursday.
Ward, 31, gave the Angels a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer off Chris Bassitt in the first inning. He’s now gone deep in two of his last three games, and it ‘improves’ his slash to .181/.224/.391. Ward has been one of the most hot/cold players players in the sport over the last few years, so fantasy managers who can afford to make some roster moves may want to look at Ward while the going is good.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. picked up three hits and scored twice in an 8-5 win over the Angels on Thursday.
Guerrero also drew a walk. It gives the first baseman multiple hits in back-to-back games, and it’s the third time in May that he’s reached that mark. That’s helped raise his average from .268 to .295, and the only thing fantasy managers can be disappointed with is his .432 slugging percentage. That number should continue to climb as the season unfolds, but Vladdy Jr. has had some inconsistent seasons when it comes to power production.
Chad Green picked up his first save of 2025 with a scoreless ninth against the Angels on Thursday.
Green got the save after Jeff Hoffman worked in back-to-back games — and struggled — in the first two contests against the Angels. He struck out two and looked the part while needing just nine pitches to get through the inning. Hoffman should remain the closer, but Green is on his tail if the struggles were to continue.
Chris Bassitt allowed five runs — four earned — while working six-plus innings against the Angels on Thursday while picking up a win.
Bassitt allowed three runs over the first two innings on a pair of homers, but settled down over his next four frames. He came out to work the seventh, but ended up being charged for two more runs after leaving the contest. The 36-year-old veteran has forged a 3.35 ERA and outstanding 49/8 K/BB ratio over the first quarter of the season, but this wasn’t him at his best. He’ll get the Rays next week if the rotation order stays the same for Toronto.
José Soriano allowed three runs over five innings while not factoring in the decision Thursday against the Blue Jays.
Soriano left with a 4-3 lead, but it was erased quickly after his departure. The 26-year-old was not exactly dominant in his outing with eight hits allowed and four free passes, but he did strike out six to help balance things out a smidgen. Soriano takes an even ERA of 4.00 into a scheduled start against the Padres in San Diego on Tuesday. There should be better options for that one.
