Fantasy Football Rankings: WRs – 21-40

Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 9.

Mike Evans had yet another 1,000-yard season, but he’ll be 32 in 2025, so the streak will have to end at some point.

Ricky Pearsall, WR, 49ers. Bye: 14.

Ricky Pearsall was my top sleeper last year until he got shot. He’ll have a big role in 2025.

Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos. Bye: 12.

Courtland Sutton had 1,081 yards despite playing with a rookie. Sutton’s arrow is pointing up with Bo Nix having experience.

Rome Odunze, WR, Bears. Bye: 5.

Rome Odunze didn’t have a great rookie year, but a lot of that was on Caleb Williams. Odunze has big-play upside, especially with Ben Johnson now coaching him.

Xavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 10.

Xavier Worthy had some struggles to start his career, but he improved as his rookie season progressed.

D.J. Moore, WR, Bears. Bye: 5.

D.J. Moore had to endure Caleb Williams’ rookie woes. Things should be better for the two in 2025.

D.K. Metcalf, WR, Steelers. Bye: 5.

DK Metcalf had a great start to his 2024 season, but played hurt down the stretch. His 2025 outlook will depend on what the Steelers do at quarterback.

DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles. Bye: 9.

DeVonta Smith is an inconsistent fantasy option with huge upside, especially if A.J. Brown gets hurt.

Garrett Wilson, WR, Jets. Bye: 9.

Garrrett Wilson quietly logged 101 receptions last year. His outlook depends on how Justin Fields performs.

Emeka Egbuka, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 9.

Emeka Egbuka has been the Buccaneers’ standout performer, according to ESPN’s Jenna Laine. Egbuka is high in our rankings, so it’s nice to see him performing well at training camp.

Deebo Samuel, WR, Redskins. Bye: 12.

Deebo Samuel is now with the Redskins. He’s a better player in real life than in fantasy.

Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens. Bye: 7.

Zay Flowers had some big games in 2024. He should continue to improve with more experience.

Jaylen Waddle, WR, Dolphins. Bye: 12.

Jaylen Waddle was greatly impacted by Miami’s injured offensive line. He’ll bounce back in 2025 if Miami repairs its blocking and can take more shots downfield.

Jameson Williams, WR, Lions. Bye: 8.

Jameson Williams finally lived up to his potential as a big-play threat.

Matthew Golden, WR, Packers. Bye: 5.

Matthew Golden caught a quick slant for a gain of seven yards in his preseason debut. This helped moved the chains on third down. Golden also drew a pass interference flag on Sauce Gardner. Golden’s stats may not show it, but he was the one positive for the Packer offense against the Jets.

Josh Downs, WR, Colts. Bye: 11.

Josh Downs had some great performances last year when Anthony Richardson wasn’t the quarterback. Richardson will continue to hinder his production.

George Pickens, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 10.

George Pickens is a talented deep threat, but is stuck playing with terrible quarterbacks. He’s also now the No. 2 receiver.

Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Jordan Addison didn’t have more than three catches in any game until November last year, yet he finished at a torrid pace. He should have a big third season.

Chris Olave, WR, Saints. Bye: 11.

Chris Olave’s concussions are a concern. His outlook took a shot because of Derek Carr’s injury.

Jauan Jennings, WR, 49ers. Bye: 14.

There’s no timetable for Jauan Jennings’ return from his calf injury, according to John Lynch. This situation is becoming worrisome, though there’s still time for Jennings to be cleared.
