2025 Fantasy Football Rankings – Wide Receivers
Last Updated: September 1
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100 |
Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE

Pat Bryant was considered a reach in the draft, but he’ll have a chance to earn the No. 2 receiver spot across from Courtland Sutton.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 49 catches. 740 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 114.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith replaced Quentin Johnston versus the Rams when the former first-round receiver suffered a brutal concussion on the opening drive. Justin Herbert connected with him on a deep shot and nearly did so again. Later, Lambert-Smith made a great diving catch from Trey Lance for a gain of 37 yards. It must be noted that Lambert-Smith was the next man up when Johnston got hurt.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 690 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 114.

Keenan Allen turns 33 this offseason. He should continue to play well in his role, but there’s bound to be some regression soon. He also needs to sign with a team.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 73 catches. 770 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 113.

Romeo Doubs is extremely inconsistent, making him difficult to roster in re-draft leagues.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 740 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 110.

Darnell Mooney will “play at some point” this year, according to head coach Raheem Morris. Well, that’s not the most bullish report. It’s unclear how long Mooney will be sidelined.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 750 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 109.

Keenan Allen signed with the Chargers. This is bad news for all Charger receivers, namely the two rookies.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 650 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 109.

Brandon Aiyuk tore his ACL and MCL last year, so you’ll want to avoid him in 2025.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 45 catches. 630 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 108.

There’s a chance Chris Godwin could miss a couple of games to start the season, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano. A month ago, Godwin was iffy for Week 1, and now he may miss a couple of games. This sounds an awful lot like Christian McCaffrey from a year ago.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 680 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 107.

Jalen Coker has been placed on the IR designated return list, so he’ll be out for four weeks. This is a shame, as Coker made a brief appearance on my Fantasy Football Sleepers list, but is now off of it because of his quad injury.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 710 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 105.

Amari Cooper signed with the Raiders. This might be in response to Jakobi Meyers’ trade request. Cooper isn’t much of a fantasy option if Meyers isn’t moved.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 750 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 105.

Cooper Kupp has shown signs of slowing down. Now 32, the decline will continue, especially now that he won’t be coached by Sean McVay.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 65 catches. 730 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 103.

Andrei Iosivas saw decent action last year. His role will expand if Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins gets injured.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 54 catches. 670 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 103.

Demario Douglas was New England’s top receiver last year out of the slot. He’s only viable in PPR leagues.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 70 catches. 750 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 102.

Michael Wilson showed some potential as a rookie, but didn’t take the next step last year.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 57 catches. 690 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 99.

Joshua Palmer was a disappointment last year, considering that he had a chance to be the No. 1 outside receiver.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 690 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 99.

Luther Burden continued to play with the backups during the second preseason game. This is because Olamide Zaccheaus has been so good in Ben Johnson’s offense. Don’t draft Burden.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 600 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 99.

Jalen Coker’s outlook took a huge hit in the wake of the Tetairoa McMillan pick.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 43 catches. 560 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 94.

Wan’Dale Robinson caught 93 passes, but logged just 699 receiving yards. Obviously, he’s much better in PPR leagues.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 700 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 93.

Xavier Legette showed some flashes as a rookie, but dropped too many passes.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 630 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 93.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling was cut by the Seahawks, but signed with the 49ers. Given all the receiver injuries, Valdes-Scantling could be the No. 2 receiver in a much better passing attack than Seattle’s.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 590 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 93.

Christian Kirk wasn’t seeing action in two-receiver sets last year. He broke his collarbone halfway through the season.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 55 catches. 730 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 92.

Adonai Mitchell has thrived at Colts training camp. Mitchell had some big games last year, but was ultimately buried on the depth chart. That may happen again, but Mitchell has a better shot at fighting for playing time now that he has experience. At the very least, this could hurt the other wide receivers on the roster.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 600 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 92.

Marquise Brown didn’t get to play with Patrick Mahomes very much last year. It’s likely he would’ve posted quality numbers, especially after Rashee Rice got hurt.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 550 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 89.

Marvin Mims looked like a bust until late in 2024 when he exploded with some big games. We’ll see if that continues into 2025.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 36 catches. 530 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 87.

Kayshon Boutte was New England’s top outside receiver last year. That is no longer the case.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 670 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 85.
Demarcus Robinson developed into a viable third receiver for Matthew Stafford.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 45 catches. 610 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 85.

Darius Slayton has shown that he can post some big games when he’s the No. 1 receiver, but that won’t happen unless Malik Nabers gets hurt.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 47 catches. 650 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 83.

Elijah Moore is coming off a career-high 61 receptions. He’ll have some upside with Josh Allen.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 45 catches. 550 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 77.

Jalen McMillan is out for a couple of months with a neck injury. This helps Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 30 catches. 370 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 75.

Dontayvion Wicks has shown some big-play potential, but Matthew Golden will take most of those.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 29 catches. 420 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 75.

Tyler Lockett, now 33, continues to regress.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 510 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 69.

Tim Patrick found a role in Detroit’s offense. He’ll be worth adding if there’s an injury to Amon-Ra St. Brown or Jameson Williams.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 38 catches. 480 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 66.

Calvin Austin is a dangerous deep threat, but is too inconsistent for re-draft leagues.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 31 catches. 490 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 61.

Christian Watson suffered a torn ACL, so he’ll be out for most or all of 2025.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 15 catches. 250 receiving yards. 1 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 43.

Tank Dell suffered a devastating knee injury in Week 16. He may be out for 2025.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 0 catches. 0 receiving yards. 0 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 0.
