Fantasy football draft season is upon us and roster churn in the NFL is one of the first things that savvy managers will catch up on before they go on the clock. Former Packers, Raiders and Jets wide receiver Davante Adams is now a member of the Los Angeles Rams and his production late in the season after being reunited with Aaron Rodgers was impressive. Now he’ll catch passes from Matthew Stafford, who has been nursing a back injury this preseason, so where exactly should you be targeting Adams in your upcoming drafts?
Having reliable 2025 Fantasy football rankings can help ensure that you have depth up and down your Fantasy football lineups. They can also help you sort each position into tiers so that you don’t miss any big runs on a particular position this draft season. Before crafting your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2025 Fantasy football positional rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert’s disappointing follow-up to a breakout 2023 season. It also called C.J. Stroud’s down year, predicted Jayden Daniels’ breakout campaign and projected James Cook to become one of Fantasy football’s elite running backs in 2024.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020, nailing Jonathan Taylor’s monstrous season in 2021 and correctly predicting C.J. Stroud would take a step back in 2024. Additionally, it’s called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018 and Davante Adams in 2017.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football positional rankings 2025, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts at every position. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2025 Fantasy football QB rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football QB picks:
1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: The two-time NFL MVP had a case last year as well, throwing for nearly 4,200 yards and 41 touchdown passes, while rushing for 915 yards and four scores. In an offense where weapons are aplenty and many points should be scored, Jackson’s productivity shouldn’t take too significant of a hit this season. He’s a safe bet to be drafted in the second or third round of many 2025 Fantasy Football Drafts.
2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: The reigning NFL MVP, Allen threw for 28 touchdown passes and ran for 12 more in 2024. While his 28 touchdown passes was his lowest since 2019, he cut down on the interceptions, throwing only six last season. With Buffalo primed to make their first Super Bowl in more than three decades this season, Allen should post monster dual threat numbers yet again for Fantasy football managers.
3. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals: Last season, Burrow had more than 4,900 yards and led the league in that category by a wide margin. He and Ja’Marr Chase cooked down the stretch and led many of his Fantasy managers to league titles with his play. While asking him to top his 43 touchdown passes might be a stretch, another productive season of 4,500 yards and 30+ scores seems attainable for the Cincinnati superstar. See more top QBs here.
Top 2025 Fantasy football RB rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football RB picks:
1. Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions: David Montgomery and Gibbs have a thunder-and-lightning situation going in Detroit and there’s been more than enough work to go around. Gibbs led the NFL with 25 breakaway runs (carries of 15 yards or more) last season and he’s also a sensational receiver, catching 52 passes for 517 yards and four touchdowns. Montgomery’s presence is more complimentary than detrimental at this point and that’s why Gibbs is our top-ranked runner for 2025.
2. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: Robinson isn’t quite as explosive as Gibbs, but he’s got the proverbial wiggle that you love to see in a running back. He evaded 83 tackles last season, the third-most among NFL running backs, and the Falcons piled him up with 365 touches. He’s a true workhorse running back in a league that has continued to shift towards spreading the wealth.
3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley became the ninth running back in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards last season, proving to be an ideal fit in Philadelphia. He had a chance to break the NFL rushing record in Week 17 but the Eagles opted to rest him for the postseason, which proved to be a prudent move. He’s such an enormous value to the team that it almost hurts his stock a little, because Philadelphia should be around come playoff time and will want him at his peak. He’s still a clearly viable option in the first round though. See more top RBs here.
Top 2025 Fantasy football WR rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football WR picks:
1. Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals: Chase has been a dominant force since being taken with the fifth pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has surpassed 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first four seasons, including a career high in 2024. Last season, Chase finished with 127 receptions for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. He also carried three times for 32 yards (10.7 average).
2. Malik Nabers, New York Giants: Although he caught passes from Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock, Nabers was fifth in catches (109) and seventh in receiving yards (1,204) with seven scores last year. He went over 100 yards in three outings, and with better QB play expected, Nabers is in line for another big season in 2025.
3. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: Lamb has been a consistent Fantasy football points leader in each of the last three seasons. The former first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, he has 100 or more receptions over that stretch. In just 15 games last season, Lamb caught 101 passes for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns. In 2023, he had 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns. See more top WRs here.
Top 2025 Fantasy football TE rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football TE picks:
1. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers: In 2024, Kittle had his best season for Fantasy managers since 2018, averaging 15.8 PPR points per game. Kittle has scored at least seven touchdowns in each of his past four seasons, and he saw his targets spike to 6.3 per game a season ago. The veteran tight end is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, a big reason why SportsLine’s model ranks him as the No. 1 TE heading into 2025.
2. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders: As a rookie, Bowers averaged nine targets per game. That high volume helped Bowers average 15.5 PPR points per game. He ended his incredible 2024 campaign with the most receptions by a rookie in NFL history (112) and the most yardage (1,194) by a rookie tight end in league history. Geno Smith marks a significant upgrade at quarterback in Las Vegas, so there’s no ceiling to what Bowers can do in 2025.
3. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals: McBride has cemented his status as a top-tier Fantasy tight end after a breakout 2024. McBride averaged 9.2 targets per game to lead all tight ends, catching 76% of his targets. He has only seven career touchdowns in 49 games, but SportsLine’s model expects he’ll be a differentiator at tight end to give your Fantasy squad an advantage every week. See more top TEs here.
Top 2025 Fantasy football defense rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top three 2025 Fantasy football D/ST picks:
1. Philadelphia Eagles D/ST: Howie Roseman is one of the NFL’s best executives but his turnaround of the Philadelphia pass defense from 2023 to 2024 was masterful. They went from ranking 30th in points allowed and 26th in yards allowed to ranking second in scoring defense and first in total defense in just one offseason. Now most of the key pieces from that unit return.
2. Baltimore Ravens D/ST: Baltimore had the best run defense in football last season and should have an improved secondary after drafting Malaki Starks in the first round and signing Jaire Alexander. They’ve got high-level playmakers at every level in Kyle Van Noy, Roquan Smith and Kyle Hamilton.
3. Minnesota Vikings D/ST: They were the No. 5 scoring defense in the NFL last season and they led the NFL with 33 takeaways. Minnesota also scored three defensive touchdowns, and even if the takeaway numbers can’t be relied on, the boom potential here is too high to ignore. See more top D/ST here.
Top 2025 Fantasy football kicker rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football K picks:
1. Brandon Aubrey, Dallas Cowboys: Aubrey has the biggest leg in the league and he tied for second in the NFL in points (150) last season. He’s 76-of-85 on field goals the last two seasons and he’s a staggering 24-of-27 from 50 yards or more.
2. Matt Gay, Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels is the rising tide that lifts all boats and this offense looks primed to be even better in 2025 after the offseason additions of Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel. Gay was perfect from inside of 50 yards last season and closed the year strong, with 24 points in the final two games of the regular season.
3. Tyler Bass, Buffalo Bills: Despite only making 82.8% of his field goal attempts, Bass finished tied for ninth in scoring (131 points). He was perfect on field goals of more than 50 yards and also locked in during the 2025 NFL playoffs, going 6-for-6 overall.
