Along with the tradition of having way, way, way too early rankings for next season, so too is the tradition of a bunch of caveats. First, while they are obviously adaptable (especially this early), these rankings are for a 1 QB league with full PPR scoring. They also reflect the NFL as it was on publish day, February 24, 2025 (this is an updated version of my initial top 50 from my Week 17 Love/Hate).
As we get into the scouting combine, and then free agency, the NFL draft, and everything else that makes up the 24/7/365 news cycle that is the National Football League, these rankings will be updated accordingly. Because as teams, schemes, and opportunities change, so does the fantasy value of the players in those situations. So, we will adjust as we go along, though I will say the next significant update to these way, way, way too early rankings for 2025 won’t be until after free agency. With another major update – along with dynasty rookie rankings – coming after the NFL draft.
As always, please let me know what you think of the rankings – what you agree with, what you don’t – on social media where I am @MatthewBerryTMR on all forms of social media (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky) except the Bleacher Nation Fantasy App where I am merely @MatthewBerry.
Hard to keep it to just 50, and yes, I’m sure you have opinions on who should be on this list, who shouldn’t, who is too high and who is too low. Hit me up.
