Fantasy football WR rankings 2025: Draft tiers and analysis

Adam Rank is releasing tiered fantasy football rankings for the 2025 NFL season to aid draft preparation, covering quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. Key questions include Saquon Barkley's ranking after his first season with the Eagles, Christian McCaffrey's bounce-back potential, and the placement of rookie quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix. Rank has also published his top 150 flex options (RBs, WRs, TEs) following the 2025 NFL Draft, spotlighting rookies Ashton Jeanty and Travis Hunter.

For Championship Week (Week 17) of the 2025 season, multiple analysts provide specialized fantasy advice. A feature highlights four top fantasy mismatches for Championship Sunday. Michelle Magdziuk and Matt Okada identify six players expected to outperform or underperform projections, including 49ers QB Brock Purdy against the Lions' injury-depleted defense. Marcas Grant recommends seven sleeper picks, such as a rookie QB fighting for a playoff berth and a first-year receiver with a favorable matchup. Michael F. Florio offers start/sit guidance across positions: tight ends (questioning Kyle Pitts), quarterbacks, wide receivers (evaluating Marvin Harrison Jr. and alternatives), running backs (assessing Breece Hall and riskier options), and kickers, all aimed at securing fantasy championships.
