Top 300 0verall 2025 PPR redraft rankings

Football is back baby! And that means we are cramming for our final exams, or as we nerds like to call them, fantasy football drafts. If you’ve landed the No. 1 pick, will you play it safe with a stud wide receiver like Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson or will you try to hit the lottery with a running back like Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs or Saquon Barkley? And what late round flier are you going to grab before your leaguemates? Which rookie receiver will make the biggest impact? And how old is too old for the NFL? Is Travis Kelce toast? Can Tyreek Hill still outrun the league? Should we put Joe Flacco into assisted living? So many questions with no answers until the games are played.

Chase led the league in non-QB fantasy points last season and looks primed for a repeat. The Bengals don’t have a dominant run game or defense, but the trio of Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins and Chase are as good as it gets in the league. The passing volume should be there and we know his skill level is as good as it gets. I would take Chase No. 1 in all my half or full-PPR leagues without much hesitation.

I see the appeal of taking a running back in the first round, as there just aren’t all that many with league winning upside, whereas you can find more depth of top receivers. Gibbs led all running backs in PPR points last season and should again be in line for a tremendous amount of receptions and receiving yards in a dynamic offense. The loss of Ben Johnson is concerning, but the system is in place and new OC John Morton worked with Johnson in 2022. He will bring his own tweaks, but they aren’t going to revamp one of the best offenses in the league.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell turned Sam Darnold into a top QB last year, so I’m not going to worry too much about J.J. McCarthy. And I sure don’t need to worry about Jefferson, who is right up there with Chase in ability. I prefer Joe Burrow if I’m choosing between QBs here, but O’Connell brings these two top receivers extremely close together.

With over 480 touches last season and postseason, Barkley is becoming riskier, as not many backs can duplicate a season like he just had at his age and usage. The good news is that he is healthy and still running behind the best offensive line in the league. His consistency and usage is nearly impossible to find, so the risk of injury or a drop off is still worth it early in the first round.

Robinson could see Barkley type usage this season, but at five years younger. His ability to make defenders miss is among the best in the league, while also garnering plenty of receiving work. Atlanta’s defense won’t be great this season and I expect they are going to need to score plenty of points to compete. Robinson might have the highest upside of all the backs in the league this season.
