With the 2025 NFL Draft under a week away, the 2025 dynasty fantasy football landscape is about to change dramatically. Depth charts will be shaken up, leading to certain players rising or falling down rankings.
Dynasty season is about to finally kick into gear, so checking out our latest superflex rankings before beginning a startup draft or making a blockbuster trade could be the difference between a championship and an early exit in your dynasty league.
Let’s get into the top 50 players in dynasty fantasy football while also identifying some of the biggest risks and values among this year’s group in superflex leagues.
(Note: These rankings were created before the 2025 NFL Draft!)
(Note: These rankings are not for TE Premium leagues!)
1. Lamar Jackson (QB)
2. Josh Allen (QB)
3. Jayden Daniels (QB)
4. Jalen Hurts (QB)
5. Ja’Marr Chase (WR)
6. Justin Jefferson (WR)
7. Joe Burrow (QB)
8. Malik Nabers (WR)
9. CeeDee Lamb (WR)
10. Bijan Robinson (RB)
Biggest Risk (1-10) - Jayden Daniels
Firstly, I’d like to say that I don’t think any player in this top tier is really a risky selection in dynasty. They are all extremely safe assets to possess, and the one thing that sets Jayden Daniels apart from the rest of this group is that he only has one year of NFL experience and is being selected with a top-three pick in most dynasty startup drafts.
Daniels had one of the best rookie quarterback seasons in NFL history, posting 3,568 passing yards, 891 rushing yards, and 31 total touchdowns. He established himself as one of the league’s top playmakers inside and outside of the pocket in just his first season at the professional level.
However, there’s always a chance Daniels could regress in his sophomore season. While I don’t see that happening, it’s always a possibility.
Best Potential Value (1-10) - Joe Burrow
Joe Burrow doesn’t have the same rushing upside as Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, and Jalen Hurts, but he is one of the best pure passers in the NFL.
We’ve seen his passing stats lift him to strong fantasy finishes in the past, and with wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins signed to long-term contracts this offseason, Burrow is set up to continue dominating through the air for years to come.
He’s absolutely worth a spot in the top tier of 2025 superflex rankings, so don’t sleep on Burrow’s fantasy production, even with his lack of rushing upside.
11. Jahmyr Gibbs (RB)
12. Patrick Mahomes (QB)
13. Puka Nacua (WR)
14. Brian Thomas Jr. (WR)
15. Justin Herbert (QB)
16. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR)
17. C.J. Stroud (QB)
18. Brock Bowers (TE)
19. Drake London (WR)
20. Drake Maye (QB)
Biggest Risk (11-20) - Drake Maye
Drake Maye looked fantastic as a passer during his rookie season, and that’s why I have him ranked at this spot in the list. He’s only 22 years old and is locked in as New England’s franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future.
However, even in limited action as a rookie, Maye’s passing stats didn’t exactly jump off the page, with 2,276 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, and ten interceptions in 13 games. His supporting cast also needs significant improvement both at the skill positions and along the offensive line. While the Patriots will likely attack those needs during the NFL Draft, they still need to be addressed hastily.
Overall, I expect Maye to develop into one of the league’s top passers, but New England needs to give him more support.
Best Potential Value (11-20) - Puka Nacua
Puka Nacua has the ceiling to be a top-five fantasy receiver, and he’s still only 23 years old. A knee injury derailed the first half of his 2024 season after a record-breaking rookie campaign in 2023, but Nacua still managed to post 19.8 fantasy points per game upon his return.
Logging 990 receiving yards in 11 games that included an ejection and an early injury is a feat that can only be achieved by an elite fantasy wide receiver. Puka Nacua has shown the ability to produce at the highest level in the past, so it’s not out of the question that he could work his way back into one of the top ten spots in these rankings.
21. Jordan Love (QB)
22. Caleb Williams (QB)
23. Nico Collins (WR)
24. Bo Nix (QB)
25. Saquon Barkley (RB)
26. Kyler Murray (QB)
27. De’Von Achane (RB)
28. A.J. Brown (WR)
29. Ladd McConkey (WR)
30. Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR)
Biggest Risk (21-30) - Kyler Murray
Rushing upside is one of the biggest aspects of a quarterback’s profile to consider when choosing a starter in fantasy football. Murray has been one of the top rushing signal-callers in the league for several years and will look to continue that trend into the 2025 NFL season.
The only thing that could prevent this is his injury history. While he played 17 games in 2024, Murray only played a combined 19 games in 2022 and 2023, mainly due to an ACL tear. If he stays healthy, he is practically a lock to be a top-twelve quarterback in fantasy football. If not, you could be looking at a disappointing season for your dynasty squad.
Best Potential Value (21-30) - Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams was selected with the first-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He showed some serious promise in big-time moments during his rookie year, leading many to believe that he could take a serious leap in 2025.
The main issue with Chicago’s offense in 2024 was the offensive line. The front office has worked hard to make sure that’s not the case this season.
Interior starters Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney were acquired via trade early in the offseason, and center Drew Dalman was signed to a three-year, $42 million contract in free agency. With two solid tackles in place in Darnell Wright and Braxton Jones, Williams will have an easier time in the pocket after taking a league-leading 68 sacks in 2024.
With wideouts Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore as his top weapons, Williams could end up being a steal in dynasty startup drafts.
31. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR)
32. Trey McBride (TE)
33. Jonathan Taylor (RB)
34. Bucky Irving (RB)
35. Kyren Williams (RB)
36. Tee Higgins (WR)
37. Baker Mayfield (QB)
38. Garrett Wilson (WR)
39. DeVonta Smith (WR)
40. Rome Odunze (WR)
Biggest Risk (31-40) - Rome Odunze
After being drafted in the early first round of most dynasty rookie drafts, Rome Odunze didn’t amaze managers through his first NFL season. He managed to put up 734 receiving yards, however, and definitely had some highlight-worthy plays.
My main worry with Odunze is that he will likely be the team’s second option behind D.J. Moore in 2025. He is still an amazing prospect, and Chicago will have a large number of vacated targets with Keenan Allen no longer on the team. But Rome Odunze may move down this list if he’s unable to prove himself to be the team’s top wideout in the next few seasons.
Best Potential Value (31-40) - Tee Higgins
Tee Higgins signed a multi-year contract extension this offseason, locking him into one of the best offenses in football for the next few years. While he is the clear second target behind Ja’Marr Chase, Joe Burrow is an elite passer with plenty of volume, so Higgins has a higher ceiling than any other WR2 in the NFL. This is what separates him from a player like Oduze.
Chase and Higgins should continue to be the best receiver duo in football, so don’t sleep on his value in trades or startup drafts heading into 2025 after a few injury-plagued campaigns.
41. James Cook (RB)
42. Jared Goff (QB)
43. Trevor Lawrence (QB)
44. Josh Jacobs (RB)
45. Zay Flowers (WR)
46. Chuba Hubbard (RB)
47. Terry McLaurin (WR)
48. Bryce Young (QB)
49. Xavier Worthy (WR)
50. Chris Olave (WR)
Biggest Risk (41-50) - Chris Olave
Chris Olave struggled with injuries, specifically concussions, during his third NFL season. After a strong start to his career, including back-to-back 1,000+ yard receiving campaigns, Olave had trouble staying on the field in 2024.
If these concussions prove to be a lingering issue, it could be a serious concern for Olave’s health, limiting his dynasty outlook significantly. He’s an extremely talented receiver when he’s healthy, but the best ability is availability.
Best Potential Value (41-50) - Bryce Young
Things were not looking good for Bryce Young after a slow start to his career, but Carolina worked to surround him with a strong offensive line before his sophomore season. Nonetheless, Young was benched after a poor start to the season.
When he returned to action, however, the 2023 first-overall pick looked more confident than ever. Young put up a string of impressive fantasy performances and proved the doubters wrong.
Going into 2025, Carolina will likely add another weapon through the draft, supplying Bryce Young with yet another young offensive weapon to throw to. Things are looking up for Carolina’s offense.
Honorable Mentions:
51. Jordan Addison (WR)
52. Sam LaPorta (TE)
53. Kenneth Walker III (RB)
54. D.J. Moore (WR)
55. Jameson Williams (WR)
