Your Ultimate Guide to Dominating Fantasy Football 2025

Fantasy football never sleeps! Whether you’re waiting for the NFL playoffs to conclude or gearing up for your league’s draft, it’s time to start strategizing for 2025. These early rankings set the foundation for a championship-winning season. Dive into our analysis of the Top 10 Fantasy Football Players for 2025 and stay ahead of your competition! This list will change, but it’s never too early to start laying it out.

Top 10 Players

10. Brian Thomas Jr.

Brian Thomas Jr. makes our list as a young, dynamic wide receiver poised for another breakout year. With 87 receptions, 1,282 yards, and 10 touchdowns in 2024, his upside is undeniable. Although regression is a concern, his elite target share ensures he remains a top 10 option.

Key Stats (2024):

• 133 Targets
• Fourth Among Wide Receivers in fantasy points in 2024

9. Breece Hall

Breece Hall had a down year in 2024, finishing 16th among running backs. But as he moves further away from his knee injury, expect a major bounce-back season. With the Jets poised to improve their offense, Hall is a strong candidate to surpass his 876 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns.

2025 Outlook: Hall’s volume will climb, making him a value pick in early drafts. He has to bounce back, and there is really no way but up for Breece the Beast Hall!

8. Derrick Henry

The King remains in the conversation, even at age 31. After a stellar 2024 season with 1,921 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, can Henry defy Father Time once again? His workload remains massive, but wear-and-tear and potential regression are red flags.

Fantasy Tip: Monitor the Ravens offseason moves before investing heavily in Henry. Also, a possible Super Bowl Hang over could linger if the Ravens go deep into the NFL playoffs.

7. Ja’marr Chase

With 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns, Chase finished as the WR1 in 2024. While maintaining this production is challenging, his chemistry with Joe Burrow is unmatched. Expect him to remain a first-round pick, but be cautious of regression.

6. Justin Jefferson

The definition of consistency, Jefferson’s 154 targets and 1,317 yards in 2024 kept him among the elite. Safe and reliable, he’s a must-have for those prioritizing wide receivers early.

Pro Tip: Pair Jefferson with value running backs in later rounds to maximize roster balance.

5. Kyren Williams

Williams continues to fly under the radar despite finishing seventh among running backs in 2024. With 316 attempts and 1,299 yards, he proved he’s a true workhorse. Look for even more upside in 2025 as he becomes a focal point of his offense.

Kyren really proved that he is the main man in LA, and he continues to get better each year. Barring injury he is going

4. Ashton Jeanty

The incoming rookie is generating buzz, with comparisons to Barry Sanders thanks to his patience, explosiveness, and vision. If Jeanty lands in a favorable situation—like Dallas—he could easily dominate in his first year.

Key College Stats:

• 374 Attempts
• 29 Touchdowns last season

3. Saquon Barkley

After an incredible 2,005-yard season, Saquon faces inevitable regression. While his talent and opportunity remain elite, it’s tough to expect another historic season. Monitor the Giants’ offseason moves and his usage in the playoffs.

It was very disapointing that the Eagles decided to sit Barkley in a game that could have etched his name in the history books. He will never get another chance to ever get close to Dickerson’s Record. Let along break this record of 2105 rushing yards in a a season. I am projecting a decline for Saquon in 2025!

2. Jahmyr Gibbs

Gibbs showcased his versatility and explosiveness in 2024, finishing as one of the top running backs despite sharing work with David Montgomery. If Montgomery departs, Gibbs has RB1 overall upside.

Fantasy Tip: Draft Gibbs confidently, especially if his workload increases. Montgomery will be a pest, but if he gets hurt again, look for Gibbs to put up historical numbers.

1. Bijan Robinson

No surprise here—Bijan Robinson tops our rankings as the ultimate fantasy workhorse. With 304 carries, 1,500+ yards, and no competition in the Falcons’ backfield, Robinson is a can’t-miss first-round pick.

Why Bijan?

• Volume: Workhorse usage with 300+ carries.
• Opportunity: No committee backfield.
• Youth: At 23, he’s just hitting his prime.
