The NFL Draft is in the books, which means it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Quick Notes:<\/p>\n
ECR: Stands for Expert Consensus Ranking, and many experts won\u2019t have updated their rankings this quickly, so the ECR ranking will be a bit skewed.

\n2025 Fantasy Football RankingsPlayer Notes:<\/p>\n
QB: Yes, I\u2019m still willing to gamble on Anthony Richardson\u2019s ceiling given it\u2019s a game-breaker and that the position is the easiest to replace.<\/p>\n
RB: De\u2019Von Achane feels like a bounce-back candidate, but I\u2019m hesitant on Jaylen Wright\u2019s involvement being more than most expect. As of today, the major split backfields are\u2026 in Pittsburgh, Kaleb Johnson is the lead with Jaylen Warren keeping his previous role \u2026 Najee Harris could lead the Chargers like he did in Pittsburgh, with Omarion Hampton being their Warren, but I believe Hampton will be the better option before the end of 2025, maybe even starting Week 1 \u2026 Cam Skattebo playing the Harris role for the Giants, with Tyrone Tracy Jr. being the Warren\u2026 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\u2019t look back to form after his return from injury.<\/p>\n
WR: Pretty chalky early in the ranks. DK Metcalf could slide a bit if Aaron Rodgers isn\u2019t the Steelers\u2019 answer at quarterback. Jerry Jeudy was a winner from the draft, as was Cedric Tillman. The Chiefs and 49ers are fluid \u2014 Rashee Rice\u2019s potential suspension will affect both his and Xavier Worthy\u2019s rankings, and Brandon Aiyuk\u2019s health will have a ripple effect from him through Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t add any threats to Kyle Pitts (or Darnell Mooney), I\u2019d gamble on the upside of Pitts now that it\u2019s a free ticket.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
