The 2025 NFL offseason has seen some major moves that will affect wideouts from a fantasy football perspective. DK Metcalf was traded to the Steelers, Davante Adams signed with the Los Angeles Rams, and Cooper Kupp went to the Seattle Seahawks. We also saw several rookies come out in the NFL Draft, none more notable than Tetairoa McMillan going to the Carolina Panthers and Travis Hunter being picked second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That’s just a few of the moves that will have an impact on 2025 fantasy drafts.

While there are still more moves to be made, including the eventual landing spots for guys like Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper, we do have a clearer view of what the wide receiver position and potential depth charts will look like as we inch closer to the 2025 season.

While many of the receivers in the top 20 are incumbents, you’ll notice a major move for Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR12) compared to his rookie ranking. The same goes for Brian Thomas Jr., who I have seventh at the position. Puka Nacua is still in the top 10, even while sharing targets with Adams in Hollywood. Jauan Jennings is a riser compared to 2024, as the 49ers traded away Deebo Samuel Sr., and Brandon Aiyuk is coming off a torn ACL.  

Speaking of Samuel Sr., he comes in at WR40 (flex starter) as a member of the Washington Commanders. George Pickens' move to Dallas didn't move the fantasy needle much, as he's still outside of my top 40 wideouts. Kupp, now in Seattle, comes in at WR47 -- I’m not a fan of older, injury-prone wideouts changing teams (and leaving Sean McVay’s system).

Without further ado, here’s a look at my updated 2025 fantasy wide receiver rank lists.
