Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was a Fantasy football breakout last season, and he is going off the board early in 2025 Fantasy football drafts. Daniels had 3,568 passing yards and 891 rushing yards last season, but his 25 touchdown passes ranked tenth in the NFL. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin signed his new contract and Deebo Samuel is on the roster now as well, setting Daniels up for a big season. Where does he land in the 2025 Fantasy football quarterback rankings?

Finding a rookie who will perform like Daniels did last season is one sure-fire way to gain an edge in Fantasy football leagues. However, it is also important to avoid Fantasy football busts and find Fantasy football sleepers later in drafts. Before crafting your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2025 Fantasy football positional rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert’s disappointing follow-up to a breakout 2023 season. It also called C.J. Stroud’s down year, predicted Jayden Daniels’ breakout campaign and projected James Cook to become one of Fantasy football’s elite running backs in 2024.

The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020, nailing Jonathan Taylor’s monstrous season in 2021 and correctly predicting C.J. Stroud would take a step back in 2024. Additionally, it’s called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018 and Davante Adams in 2017. 

Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football positional rankings 2025, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts at every position. Head to SportsLine now to see them. 

Top 2025 Fantasy football QB rankings

Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football QB picks:

1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen has been the most consistent Fantasy quarterback over the past five years, leading all quarterbacks in scoring three times while posting two runner-up finishes. He has averaged nearly 600 rushing yards per season in his seven years in the league, racking up 27 rushing touchdowns over the last two years. Allen has made 104 consecutive starts, so his reliability earns him the top spot in the rankings.

2. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Baltimore’s signal caller posted career highs in passing yards and touchdown passes last year, finishing as the QB1 in Fantasy scoring. He averaged a league-high 8.8 yards per pass attempt to go along with 915 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. The Ravens did not have much roster turnover this offseason, setting Jackson up for another big campaign.

3. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals: Burrow led the NFL in completions, passing yards and passing touchdowns in 2024, finishing as the QB3 in Fantasy scoring. He has an elite wide receiver combo in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, allowing him to compensate for his lack of rushing upside. However, the one-dimensional aspect of his game is why he finds himself behind Allen and Jackson in the rankings. See more top QBs here.

Top 2025 Fantasy football RB rankings

Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football RB picks:

1. Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions: Gibbs finished as the RB1 in Fantasy football last season after his monstrous Week 18. He rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns while adding five receptions, including another touchdown. Gibbs then rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns with six receptions for 70 yards in Detroit’s playoff loss. David Montgomery in the backfield can scare some away from Gibbs, but the 23-year-old has proven in the most important games that he’s the significantly more dynamic running back, and that’s enough to make him the model’s No. 1 running back.

2. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: Robinson enters his third NFL season, and after showcasing a significant rise in production in Year 2 from Year 1, the model is very optimistic for what’s to come this fall. Robinson rushed for 1,456 yards last year, nearly 500 yards more than his rookie season, and had 14 rushing touchdowns compared to four the year before. He was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft for a reason, and after averaging 26.8 points per game in PPR formats over Michael Penix Jr.’s three starts, the model projects more huge performances from the Falcons RB1.

3. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley had a chance at the NFL single-season rushing record before resting Week 18 in preparation for an eventual Super Bowl run. Barkley was also the RB1 in Fantasy football over the first 17 weeks. He finished as RB2 after Gibbs’ Week 18 performance, but Barkley was the No. 1 running back on a points per game basis last season. The Eagles return a loaded offense, and with Barkley likely to garner another significant workload, he’s a high-floor and high-ceiling running back option for 2025 Fantasy football lineups. See more top RBs here.

Top 2025 Fantasy football WR rankings

Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football WR picks: 

1. Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals: Chase was the WR1 in Fantasy football last season, and it’s hard to argue that anyone but him has the best chance at finishing No. 1 this year. The Bengals return nearly an identical offense to last season, as Chase should have plenty of scoring and playmaking opportunities. The 25-year-old won the wide receiver Triple Crown, leading the NFL in receptions (127), yards (1,708) and touchdowns (17) last year.

2. Malik Nabers, New York Giants: Nabers was second in the NFL in targets (170) last season, as only he and Chase reached even 160 targets last season. He’ll remain as integral to the New York offense as the Giants didn’t make significant wide receiver upgrades this offseason. It did, however, vastly improve its quarterback situation, so whether it’s Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston or Jaxson Dart throwing him passes, Nabers should have more catchable and big-play opportunities throughout the season.

3. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings: The concern about Jefferson last season revolved around Minnesota’s quarterback play, and how did that impact Jefferson? The star receiver was WR2 in Fantasy football, and was second in the league with 1,533 yards. Some are scared away by the Vikings quarterback situation with J.J. McCarthy getting his first NFL action this year, but as Jefferson proved last year, fade him at your own peril. See more top WRs here.

Top 2025 Fantasy football TE rankings

Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top 2025 Fantasy football TE picks:

1. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders: As a rookie, Bowers averaged nine targets per game. That high volume helped Bowers average 15.5 PPR points per contest. He ended his incredible 2024 campaign with the most receptions by a rookie in NFL history (112) and the most yardage (1,194) by a rookie tight end in league history. Geno Smith marks a significant upgrade at quarterback in Las Vegas, so there’s no ceiling to what Bowers can do in 2025.

2. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers: In 2024, Kittle had his best season for Fantasy managers since 2018, averaging 15.8 PPR points per game. Kittle has scored at least seven touchdowns in each of his past four seasons, and he saw his targets spike to 6.3 per game a season ago. The veteran tight end is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, a big reason why SportsLine’s model ranks him as the No. 2 TE heading into 2025.

3. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals: McBride has cemented his status as a top-tier Fantasy tight end after a breakout 2024. McBride averaged 9.2 targets per game to lead all tight ends, catching 76% of his targets. He has only seven career touchdowns in 49 games, but SportsLine’s model expects he’ll be a differentiator at tight end to give your Fantasy squad an advantage every week. See more top TEs here.
