With conference previews in the books for the G5 conferences, we now dip our toes in the heavy hitters, but why not go in head first with the SEC. The conference boasts a ton of fantasy-relevant depth at every position, so it's difficult to fit them all into just the three teams below, but we'll try. Headlined by an elite quarterback crop, the passing attacks here likely boast a bit more intrigue than the ground games, but there is certainly plenty of intrigue to go around in a 16-team conference featuring some of the best teams college football has to offer.
Note: The positional rankings are based on four-point passing touchdowns and half-point per reception format and may vary based on the format of your league. Visit our College Football Rankings page to customize the rankings to fit your league's format. The rankings are also subject to change as more information rolls in during fall camp, and up-to-date rankings can be found there.

2025 SEC Fantasy Sleepers
QB: Marcel Reed, Texas A&M
Last year, Reed spent the early portion of 2024 battling for the starting role with Conner Weigman before ultimately winning the battle. Reed went on to accumulate 1,864 yards passing with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions while adding 547 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns over 11 games while starting in eight. The Aggies have brought in proven wide receiver KC Concepcion from the transfer portal to add to a plethora of speedy wide receivers, giving Reed a solid target pool. With a solid wide receiver room and true dual-threat abilities, Reed could see a big season in terms of fantasy output.
QB: Austin Simmons, Ole Miss
Simmons is a bit of an unknown as a first-year starter for the Rebels, however, the redshirt sophomore has shown he can play in the big moment as he came in for an injured Jaxson Dart against Georgia a year ago and sealed a victory. Simmons totaled 282 yards and two touchdowns last year, including 5-for-6 passing for 64 yards en route to a touchdown against the Bulldogs. The Rebels have also bolstered their receiver room after losing many top contributors from a year ago; however, Cayden Lee remains on the team and will look to fill the role left behind by Jordan Watkins. Meanwhile, transfer De'Zhaun Stribling adds a bona fide number one to the wide receiver room. With a very capable wide receiver room and the highly explosive nature of Lane Kiffin's offense, don't be surprised if Simmons bursts onto the scene in his debut season as a starter.
RB: DeSean Bishop, Tennessee
Bishop is the leading returning rusher from a year ago and was the primary backup to star running back Dylan Sampson. Bishop is in line to take over as the lead back for a running back room that has not produced a season with less than 2,500 yards since head coach Josh Heupel took over in 2021. Heupel does a very good job of spreading defenses to create 1-on-1 situations for his players out in space. Heupel does this while having great balance between the rushing and passing game, creating great alleyways and pressuring defenders to make open field tackles. Bishop has displayed an outstanding ability to succeed in this scheme as he averaged 6.1 yards per carry a year ago, including a long run of 53 yards and three touchdowns in relief duties for Sampson. If Bishop becomes the bell cow back for the Vols in his third season, he could be in line for a big year.
RB: Kewan Lacy, Ole Miss
The Ole Miss running back room had a complete overhaul this past offseason, with Logan Diggs being the only running back left over from a year ago, though he had just one carry in 2024. However, the former LSU and Notre Dame transfer had some very solid numbers at his previous stops, 1,473 yards and 11 touchdowns, while averaging over five yards per carry each season across the 2022 and 2023 seasons at Notre Dame and then LSU. That said, Lacy made the move over from Missouri, where he toted the rock 23 times for 104 yards last season. Lacy will duke it out with Diggs and Shekai Mills-Knight for the starting job this fall, but early camp reports are favorable for Lacy. If he can separate himself during camp, I would expect him to have a very productive year, as Ole Miss will feature a first-year starter at quarterback, and head coach Lane Kiffin has done a very good job in the past of protecting young quarterbacks with a formidable rushing attack.
WR: Chris Hilton, LSU
Hilton is set to be the number two wide receiver behind Aaron Anderson for the Tigers. A year ago, Garrett Nussmeier threw for over four thousand yards in his debut as the starting quarterback for the Tigers. Head coach Brian Kelly has shown a willingness to put the ball in his quarterback's hands and let him win games. With the success and abilities Nussmeier has shown, I would expect him to have an even bigger season than he did a year ago. If a bigger year is in the works for Nussmeier, the Tigers could potentially have two 1,000+ yard wide receivers in Anderson and Hilton.
WR: KC Concepcion, Texas A&M
Concepcion transferred in from NC State, where he accumulated 1,299 yards and 16 touchdowns over two seasons. Concepcion is one of the most versatile players in college football, as he played all over the field for the Wolfpack. As a freshman, Concepcion earned a starting role first at running back before playing both running back and wide receiver and was the lone bright spot for a team that was extremely offensively challenged. Concepcion is slated to be the No. 1 wide receiver and a major piece for the Aggies on offense. With Marcel Reed running the show for the Aggies, Concepcion could have a big year in an offense that should be far better than anything he has played in before.
SEC Position Battles of Interest
Mississippi Running Backs
Ole Miss has lost essentially all of their run game production from a year ago, with the only remaining players being Logan Diggs, who had just one carry, and quarterback Austin Simmons. The Rebels have brought in transfer Kewan Lacy, freshman Shekai Mills-Knight and JUCO standout Trey Hall, who unfortunately tore his Achilles in the offseason. Lacy could be the favorite to win the job based on recent camp reports, but there is certainly room for things to change here. LMills-Knight brings an interesting change to the room as the former four-star and sixth overall running back, according to 247 Sports, is the largest of the group. At 6'3", 220 pounds, Mills-Knight could immediately fill the role of short-yardage and goal-line back for the Rebels. With the chances of getting immediate action, Mills-Knight could pose a threat to poach some touchdowns as well as expanded reps if he can capitalize on his opportunities, but Lacy and Diggs are the primary backs of interest at the moment.
Alabama Running Backs
The Crimson Tide bring back their top back from a year ago in Jam Miller. Miller rushed for 668 yards and seven touchdowns a year ago, but saw many carries taken by quarterback Jalen Milroe and Justice Haynes, who has now transferred to Michigan. With both of those guys gone from a year ago, Miller seems destined for a significant increase in workload. However, sophomore running back Richard Young may pose a threat to that. Miller has been a remarkably consistent back over his career at Alabama but has lacked explosion, averaging just 4.6 yards per carry in 2024. Young could put some pressure on Miller as he averaged a slightly better 5.4 yards per carry, though with just 27 attempts a year ago. Young was a former track athlete, posting multiple sub-11-second finishes in the 100-meter dash. It will be worth monitoring if Young can claim a heavier share than expected.
Arkansas Wide Receivers
The Razorbacks lost their clear number one wide out, Andrew Armstrong, who compiled over 1,900 yards receiving in two seasons with the Razorbacks before heading to the NFL. Arkansas hit the portal hard, bringing in six different receivers to try to get some production for Taylen Green. The Razorbacks brought in Ismael Cisse (Stanford), Raylen Sharpe (Fresno State), O'Mega Blake (Charlotte) and Kam Shanks (UAB) in the winter. Then they added two former four-star recruits in the April transfer portal. Andy Jean (Pittsburgh/Florida) and Jalen Brown (LSU/Florida State). Cisse is the only power-four transfer who was able to rack up 200 or more yards a year ago. However, he injured his wrist and is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2025 campaign. Blake has impressed in camp and featured blazing speed at Charlotte as he averaged 24.8 yards per reception with the 49ers. Green has shown a lot of ability at quarterback, and if a few of these receivers can stand out, they could be in for some big production. I would keep an eye on Blake as he has considerable deep threat potential.
