The NFL Draft is in the books, which means it’s time for a fresh 2025 fantasy football ranking update. There are a few big movers, plenty of other risers, fallers and interesting new ranks, thanks to the incoming draft class.
Quick Notes:
- ECR: Stands for Expert Consensus Ranking, and many experts won’t have updated their rankings this quickly, so the ECR ranking will be a bit skewed.
- Feel free to jump in the comments and ask for further ranks context, start a discussion about a particular rank, etc.
2025 Fantasy Football Rankings
Player Notes:
QB: Yes, I’m still willing to gamble on Anthony Richardson’s ceiling given it’s a game-breaker and that the position is the easiest to replace.
RB: De’Von Achane feels like a bounce-back candidate, but I’m hesitant on Jaylen Wright’s involvement being more than most expect. As of today, the major split backfields are… in Pittsburgh, Kaleb Johnson is the lead with Jaylen Warren keeping his previous role … Najee Harris leading the Chargers like he did in Pittsburgh, with Omarion Hampton being their Warren (until next year when Hampton is the guy, or even late in 2025) … Cam Skattebo playing the Harris role for the Giants, with Tyrone Tracy Jr. being the Warren… Jaydon Blue has an outside chance to be the best Cowboys option, while Brashard Smith is a heck of a flier for Kansas City given Isiah Pacheco didn’t look back to form after his return from injury.

WR: Pretty chalky early in the ranks. DK Metcalf could slide a bit if Aaron Rodgers isn’t the Steelers’ answer at quarterback. Jerry Jeudy was a winner from the draft, as was Cedric Tillman. The Chiefs and 49ers are fluid — Rashee Rice’s potential suspension will affect both his and Xavier Worthy’s rankings, and Brandon Aiyuk’s health will have a ripple effect from him through Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall.
TE: Brock Bowers spoiled us after an impressive rookie 2023 season for tight ends, but Mason Taylor might be the only rookie to have startable value given his landing spot. At this cost, and given the Falcons didn’t add any threats to Kyle Pitts (or Darnell Mooney), I’d gamble on the upside of Pitts now that it’s a free ticket.
