Dynasty WR Rankings 2025 (Wide Receiver)

Updated on 2:35pm UTC 4/29/25

Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating Rankings. You wouldn’t buy a house with a cracked or leaking basement, would you? No! The foundation for anything is critical.

At Draft Sharks, our Dynasty Rankings are based on data—a lot of it. We start with a player's baseline, a weighted average of this year’s projection, and their last two seasons. Then we use 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy forecasted output. This isn't guesswork. Our process has been built using machine learning for all NFL data since 1999. We determine this output using scientifically-sound performance aging curves and retirement rates. And these numbers are specific to both positional groups and archetypes of players. These are the smartest fantasy football projections on the market. Period.

3D values+ then apply a weighted average of those 1-,3-,5- and 10-year projections and a cross-positional algorithm based on your exact league setup and scoring. The results are an unparalleled single (true) value you can use universally on the site. That means you can use these values for ranking in the preseason, regular season, and trade valuations.

Ready to go for the gold? In the Draft War Room you can adjust the weighting even heavier toward year-one projection in "Win Now" mode.

Player
1Ja'Marr Chase WR CIN1.01N/A25.223168911262122100
Chase became only the fifth WR ever to win the triple crown in the Super Bowl era, leading the league in receptions, yards and TDs. He outscored Justin Jefferson (the WR2 on the season) by more than four PPR points per game in 2024. It is unlikely that Chase can repeat such a performance in 2025 (or beyond) but he certainly has the talent.
2Justin Jefferson WR MIN1.02N/A25.9207.66861113203996
Jefferson ended 2024 as the PPR WR2, notchign his fifth straight 1,000+ yard season to start his career. With Sam Darnold’s emergence, Jefferson was able to catch 10 TDs, matching his career high. He went for 100+ catches for the third time in his career. Jefferson should continue to flourish alongside young QB J.J. McCarthy.
3CeeDee Lamb WR DAL1.08N/A26.1220.56421041192489
Even with QB Dak Prescott missing most of 2024, Lamb ended the year as the PPR WR5. Lamb had double-digit targets in six of his nine games and was a WR2 or better in those six. The high volume of targets should continue with Lamb under contract through 2028.
4Malik Nabers WR NYG1.07N/A21.8190.7580991199583
Despite having Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito, Nabers ended 2024 as the PPR WR7 in points per game. This included five weeks as a top-10 scorer at the position. He commands volume and showcases a complex route tree from short screens to deep routes. He's a star in the making if the Giants can find a QB.
5Puka Nacua WR LAR1.11N/A23.9204.2603987184782
Nacua dealt with knee issues in the preseason and early in 2024. Still, he ended six of his 10 full games as a top-20 PPR WR. He should retain the target lead in the short term, even after the arrival of WR Davante Adams. We'll also see how L.A. approaches the QB spot with Matthew Stafford entering his age 37 season.
6Nico Collins WR HOU2.03N/A26.1210.5562911168274
A hamstring injury knocked Collins out for part of 2024, but he was still the PPR WR8 in points per game. And that was despite a down year for the Texans' passing game. Collins has now shown two years of top production and is under contract through 2027.
7Brian Thomas Jr. WR JAC1.12N/A22.6202.1538897172272
Thomas Jr. surprised almost everyone by having an incredible rookie season, even when Mac Jones came in at QB. He ended the season as the PPR WR4 with five weeks as a top-10 WR. With a new coach and OC coming in, Thomas should be the de facto top option with hopefully an even better offensive system.
8A.J. Brown WR PHI3.05N/A27.9189.9513822146162
Brown missed a few weeks in 2024 due to a hamstring injury and had to deal with an Eagles offense that shifted to the run, but he still ended as the PPR WR13 in points per game. He’s entering his 28-year old season, and his contract runs through 2029.
9Drake London WR ATL2.06N/A23.8182.4489815156561
London certainly saw a resurgence under OC Zac Robinson, but QB Kirk Cousins' regression still limited the ceiling. After Michael Penix took over, London averaged 13 targets per game, so the future could be very bright. Despite the tribulations, London ended 2024 as the PPR WR10.
10Amon-Ra St. Brown WR DET1.10N/A25.5173.9508820143260
The Lions' offensive explosion favored St. Brown once again as he ended the season the PPR WR5 in points per game. It was boom-or-bust weekly with six WR1 weeks, but also five weeks at WR3 or worse. We don't love the loss of top OC Ben Johnson -- but St. Brown's volume should stick around going forward.
11Ladd McConkey WR LAC2.08N/A23.5161.2483804149558
McConkey exceeded expectations and ended 2024 as the PPR WR12 overall. He played through knee and toe injuries throughout the season, missing only one game of his rookie season. McConkey had three top-10 WR performances during the season. The Chargers low pass rate limited his ceiling at times, but McConkey appears locked in as Justin Herbert’s top target for the future.
12Tee Higgins WR CIN4.01N/A26.3188.9466751136754
Higgins was the PPR WR4 in points per game last season, even when dealing with hamstring issues throughout the season. He inked a four-year deal in March, tying him to Cincy through the 2028 season. It’s a win for dynasty managers, as Higgins sticks in a nice volume spot alongside QB Joe Burrow.
13Xavier Worthy WR KC5.03N/A22.0154.7456753142952
Worthy took a bit to acclimate to the Chiefs’ offense, but ended the season with three straight PPR WR2 or better performances. His speed and ability to take short passes and screens for big plays finally came to fruition. Paired with QB Patrick Mahomes, the future looks bright for Worthy.
14Marvin Harrison Jr. WR ARI2.07N/A22.7153444751146552
A decade ago, Harrison’s 62 catches for 885 yards and eight TDs would have been a solid rookie season. But, with four other rookie pass catchers going over 1,000 yards receiving, Harrison’s rookie season was a disappointment. The Cardinals remained a run first team, and Harrison’s effort on the field appeared inconsistent at best. He is still young, heading into his 23-year-old season, and still could develop into an elite fantasy producer.
15Rashee Rice WR KC3.07N/A25.0151.8448734137851
Rice is recovering from a torn LCL and may be facing a suspension in 2025 after his legal process plays out this offseason. But, after those short term setbacks, Rice is set to be the top WR for Patrick Mahomes for the foreseeable future. In his three full games in 2024, Rice finished no worse than PPR WR16.
16Garrett Wilson WR NYJ3.02N/A24.8144.8444730139850
Wilson’s talent is clear; he had a stretch of three top-five PPR WR performances within five weeks last season. With WR Davante Adams off the roster, Wilson's lone concern remains QB stability.
17Zay Flowers WR BAL5.04N/A24.7151.5440728130448
The Ravens leaned a bit more into the pass in 2024 and Flowers benefitted. He had five games with nine or more targets and ended the season as the PPR WR23. The Ravens offense should continue to be high octane with Lamar Jackson at the helm. New addition DeAndre Hopkins doesn't impact Flowers' dynasty value.
18Tetairoa McMillan WR CAR3.03N/A22.1145.7418708138047
At Arizona, McMillan tallied two straight years of 1,300+ yards and 8+ TDs. He brings a clear X WR skill set at 6’5, 212 pounds. He supplies some deep speed but still has the footwork and route tree to freeze defenders. With long arms and a good catch radius, McMillan boasts tremendous fantasy upside. The Carolina landing spot supplies a path to WR1 targets within a couple of seasons.
19D.J. Moore WR CHI5.07N/A28.1165.1461718117747
The Bears' offense was inconsistent all season. Still, Moore did have three PPR WR1 weeks in 2024. He finished as the WR31 in points per game, but that's set to rise under new HC Ben Johnson. Moore remains in his prime at 28.
20Tyreek Hill WR MIA6.06N/A31.2178.5462704115147
The Dolphins offense stalled in 2024, between QB Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion and lower efficiency than 2023. Hill suffered the most, finishing down to PPR WR30 in points per game. He did have four WR1 performances on the season, but another four where he ended as a WR4 or worse. With Hill entering his age 31 season, questions on his long term viability remain.
