Fabs' Way-Too-Early 2025 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings 2.0

The 2024 fantasy football season is in the rearview mirror, so … what’s next? Well, if you’ve been playing this great hobby as long as I have, you know there’s never an offseason! I’ve already submitted the first edition of my Way-Too-Early Fantasy Wide Receiver Rankings for 2025, but I wanted to submit version 2.0 before free agency and the trades start flying.
This past season, we saw a number of players who weren’t expected to become fantasy assets, emerge into superstars and great values. Brian Thomas Jr. became a top-five player at the position, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba became a highly productive weekly fantasy starter with the Seahawks. Malik Nabers produced a top-10 finish in New York as a rookie, and we saw Jerry Jeudy go from a fantasy afterthought into a top-12 fantasy wide receiver.
On the flip side, fans were disappointed by several receivers, none more than Tyreek Hill and Marvin Harrison Jr. Both were drafted as top-10 wide receivers based on ADP data, and neither finished in the top 15 at the position. Others, such as Chris Olave, Cooper Kupp, Jaylen Waddle, Deebo Samuel Sr. and DK Metcalf, didn’t meet expectations.
The upcoming offseason promises plenty of roster changes, which could include Chris Godwin, Tee Higgins, Stefon Diggs and Keenan Allen (among others) potentially switching teams as free agents. Also, young wideouts coming out of college, maybe none bigger than Colorado’s Travis Hunter, could end up breaking into the top 20 at the position. But for now, here’s my second way-too-early look at the fantasy wide receiver position for next season.
