Here are my updated and expanded 2025 positional rankings for PPR leagues.
While these rankings are intended for full PPR leagues, a switch to half PPR or standard scoring would not result in very many significant changes. These rankings are also intended to be used primarily for managed re-draft leagues. If you’re playing best ball, they can still serve as a good reference, but keep in mind that players with extremely high single-week and late-season upside move up significantly in those formats.
As always, a lot will change during August, so these rankings are extremely fluid. I’ll continue to adjust as news comes out and depth charts change, so definitely keep checking back in for the latest updates to both these rankings as well as my Top 200 overall. In the meantime, let me know who you think I’m either too low or too high on for this upcoming season!
