2025 Fantasy Football Draft Rankings (PPR, Half-PPR, Standard)

At the top of the board, no surprises in PPR and Half-PPR: Cincinnati Bengals electric WR Ja’Marr Chase is the consensus No. 1 pick. But in Standard formats, the spotlight shifts to the ground game—and the competition gets hot. Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Saquon Barkley are all jockeying for the top spot, but it’s Barkley—the reigning Super Bowl champ—who currently leads the pack. Meanwhile, Bijan’s all-purpose skill set locks him in as the No. 2 pick behind Chase in PPR and Half-PPR leagues. His ability to catch passes will prove to be the difference maker over Barkley's sklll set.

The quarterback landscape in 2025 is as electrifying as evert. At the top, it’s two AFC juggernauts: Josh Allen is narrowly the QB1, thanks to his relentless goal-line usage and cannon arm. But don’t sleep on Jayden Daniels. The electric second-year QB is crashing the elite tier, bringing dual-threat upside that makes him a fantasy cheat code—especially in leagues that reward rushing. Daniels is now the QB2, sliding above Lamar Jackson as we enter the 2025 NFL season.

However, if you miss out on a top-three quarterback, waiting until the late rounds is probably the preferred strategy. Is there really much difference between Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, and Jared Goff? Personally, if I don't nail a top-three quarterback, I'm waiting and won't regret a Trevor Lawrence or JJ McCarthy as my starting signal-caller so long as it means that I have an edge at the other skill positions.

Wide receiver remains a gold mine of fantasy production, and the 2025 class is bursting at the seams with star power. Ja’Marr Chase still reigns supreme, but Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb aren’t far behind, forming a clear-cut elite tier. Right behind the Tier 1 wideouts are young studs like Malik Nabers, Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Nico Collins, Brian Thomas Jr., and Drake London, all of whom are making serious cases for Round 1 status—particularly in PPR leagues where volume is king.

As for tight ends, there’s Brock Bowers… and then there’s everyone else. In all formats, Bowers is a positional unicorn, capable of delivering WR2-level production from your TE slot. However, Standard scoring tightens the gap—and you might just see a more touchdown-dependent option sneak above Trey McBride in the TE2 spot. Either way, the position is deeper than it’s been in years, giving savvy drafters more flexibility than ever.

Latest Risers

Tory Horton has impressed during Seattle Seahawks training camp and although he's still low in our rankings, managers in deep leagues may want to try to snag him in the later rounds.

After being brought back by the Los Angeles Chargers, veteran Keenan Allen is looking like a solid late-round value, especially given his already evident chemistry with Justin Herbert and the Chargers' lack of proven weapons beyond Ladd McConkaey. He could easily be a top-50 receiver.

TreyVeyon Henderson has scored touchdowns in each of his first two preseason games and is seeing his name rise among the RB rankings. He's currently entrenched as a solid RB2 in all formats.

Veteran Nick Chubb continues to rise as Joe Mixon falls (due to his injury that has kept him out all of training camp and the preseason). Mixon will miss the beginning of the season, providing Chubb with an excellent opportunity.

Emeka Egbuka is climbing the WR rankings with Chris Godwin still sidelined. He could emerge as a solid FLEX option down the stretch of the NFL season once he established a solid rapport with quarterback Baker Mayfield. He scored his first touchdown in Week 2 of the preseason.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt is moving up the RB rankings now that Brian Robinson Jr. has been moved to the San Francisco 49ers. JCM is firmly entrenched in the Flex conversation and could even finish as an RB2. Chris Rodriguez has also vaulted up draft boards.

Now that Daniel Jones has been named the Week 1 starter for the Colts, he's leapfrogged Anthony Richardson in our QB rankings, but is still undraftable in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Amari Cooper could see significant playing time as the WR2 with the Las Vegas Raiders now that he's been signed to a one-year deal.

Spencer Rattler has leapfrogged Tyler Shough after being named the Week 1 starter but he's still not draftable in all but the deepest of SuperFlex formats.

Tetairoa McMillan continues to rise due to his chemistry with Bryce Young. Now that the team dealt Adam Thielen to the Vikings, McMillan should demand an even larger share of targets. Xavier Legette also saw a slight rise in the rankings.

After the Detroit Lions dealt Tim Patrick to the Jacksonville Jaguars, rookie Isaac TeSlaa saw a slight tick in the wide receiver rankings.

Hunter Renfrow has jumped up the rankings in the wake of Jalen Coker's injury.

J.J. McCarthy is now our QB14, our biggest late-round quarterback sleeper entering 2025.

James Cook is back in the RB1 conversation after signing his contract. He slightly edges out Omarion Hampton.

Following the news of Alijah Vera-Tucker's season-ending injury, Breece Hall has dropped in the running back rankings, though he should still finish as a top-20 running back.

As much as we love Malik Nabers, we don't love him as much as the consensus, resulting in a slight drop in the wide receiver rankings. He's still a top-10 receiver in all formats.
