Honorable Mentions Who Just Missed the Cut
Some stars landed just outside the top 25 but deserve a look. Jayden Daniels headlines this group after a stellar rookie year. Washington gave him help by adding Deebo Samuel and upgrading the offensive line. Daniels is a dual threat who could break into QB1 territory, but positional value pushes him into the 25–35 range.
TJ Hockenson is another close call. He’s returning from an ACL and MCL injury but should be the primary safety valve for JJ McCarthy. Justin Jefferson remains the alpha, but Hockenson could challenge for heavy red zone usage with the rookie quarterback under center.
Drake London is climbing but narrowly missed the rankings. He’s improved each season and now has Michael Penix at quarterback. A thin wide receiver group behind him means a huge target share, even if his ADP feels high.
Josh Jacobs rounds out the honorable mentions. He isn’t flashy, but Green Bay will lean on him as a 300-carry workhorse. His goal-line work makes him a strong RB1 value if he falls into the third round. These players all bring stability or upside, but deeper position pools kept them out of our final list.
Tier Five: Reliable Starters with Upside
Tier Five starts the official rankings with dependable players who can anchor rosters. Mike Evans leads the group with his unmatched consistency. He’s posted eleven straight 1,000-yard seasons, tying Jerry Rice, and scored eleven touchdowns in just fourteen games last year. Age and a crowded receiver room create slight concerns, but Evans remains a red zone monster.
Chase Brown surges into this tier after a strong debut as Cincinnati’s lead back. His 220 carries produced 990 yards and seven touchdowns. He also added fifty catches for 360 yards and four more scores. The presence of Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins ensures he’ll keep seeing light boxes and ample opportunities.
Lamar Jackson and AJ Brown also land in this tier as veteran stars who continue to produce. Jackson’s rushing upside remains elite even with limited red zone carries, while Brown offers dependable yardage and touchdowns in Philadelphia’s dynamic offense.
Second-year receiver Ladd McConkey closes the tier, offering breakout potential in Los Angeles. With these players, you won’t win or lose a league by themselves, but they bring weekly stability and occasional ceiling weeks worth targeting.
Tier Four: Strong Sidekicks for Championship Rosters
These players may not carry rosters alone, but they provide the perfect complement to a first-round star. Josh Allen is the headliner, ranked as our top quarterback. He has produced over forty total touchdowns in consecutive seasons, including twelve rushing scores last year. Allen remains Buffalo’s de facto goal-line back, which keeps him valuable even as James Cook earns touches.
Devon Achane carries enormous upside after a breakout sophomore campaign. His workload included two hundred carries for 900 yards and six touchdowns. More importantly, he exploded as a receiver with seventy-eight catches, nearly 600 yards, and six receiving touchdowns. Durability and Miami’s unpredictable running back rotations create some risk, but his upside is undeniable.
Ashton Jeanty brings excitement as a rookie workhorse. At Boise State, he racked up 2,600 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns on 374 carries last season. Pete Carroll’s run-heavy offense in Las Vegas will lean on him early and often.
Kyren Williams and Trey McBride round out the tier as steady secondary options. Williams provides dependable rushing production, while McBride has emerged as a primary passing weapon in Arizona. These players form the backbone of deep, well-rounded fantasy rosters.
Tier Three: Budding Stars Ready to Break Out
This tier features young players and veterans poised to rise higher in the fantasy football redraft rankings by season’s end. Malik Nabers headlines the group at just 21 years old. He caught 109 passes for 1,200 yards and seven touchdowns last season, despite dreadful quarterback play. With Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jackson Dart now in New York, Nabers could see a major leap with better quarterback stability.
Nico Collins slots just behind him as the clear WR1 for CJ Stroud. The two have built chemistry over multiple seasons, and with Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell gone, Collins should dominate targets. Christian Kirk joins the team after a broken collarbone but will need time to adjust, leaving Collins as the go-to option.
Derrick Henry is our most polarizing player here. At 31 years old, many expected a decline, but he produced 1,921 rushing yards and sixteen touchdowns on 325 carries. Baltimore’s run-heavy scheme and Lamar Jackson’s mobility should keep Henry productive with another year of double-digit touchdowns likely.
Jonathan Taylor and Bucky Irving also reside in this group, offering steady workloads and the ability to post RB1 weeks. These players represent prime opportunities for value, as most are drafted later than their projected output suggests.
Tier Two: Near-Elite Fantasy Assets
Tier Two consists of players a step away from elite status but capable of carrying lineups. Brock Bowers is the standout here as the top tight end in fantasy football redraft rankings. At 22, he already plays like a wide receiver, recording 112 catches for nearly 1,200 yards and five touchdowns despite subpar quarterback play. With Geno Smith now under center and Ashton Jeanty softening defenses, Bowers will be the centerpiece of the Las Vegas offense.
Brian Thomas Jr. also brings major upside. He topped Malik Nabers in yardage last year, posting 87 catches as Jacksonville’s deep threat. The upgrade from Mac Jones to Trevor Lawrence should help, and the addition of Travis Hunter could create more space for him by pulling coverage.
Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs remain fixtures in Detroit’s high-powered offense. Both should continue to handle heavy workloads and rack up PPR points. CeeDee Lamb rounds out the tier as Dallas’ primary target hog, offering a safe WR1 floor with elite weekly upside. These players may soon crack the top five if they hit their full potential this season.
Tier One: The Top Five Fantasy Anchors
The top five players define our fantasy football redraft rankings. Jamar Chase sits at number one after winning the triple crown with 127 catches, over 1,700 yards, and 17 touchdowns. He also dismantled elite defenses, including nearly 500 yards and five scores in two games against Baltimore. With Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins keeping defenses honest, Chase is the clear top overall pick.
Justin Jefferson follows as the second-ranked player. He remains dominant despite shaky quarterback situations and should excel even as JJ McCarthy develops. Bijan Robinson lands at RB1, offering youth and workload security as Atlanta’s offensive centerpiece.
Saquon Barkley ranks fourth after a career year in Philadelphia. He logged 345 carries for 2,005 yards and thirteen touchdowns, plus 33 catches for 278 yards and two more scores. His only risk is workload, surpassing 400 total touches between the regular season and playoffs, but an elite offensive line and Jalen Hurts’ presence help offset that concern.
Puka Nacua rounds out the top five after nearly 1,000 yards in just eleven games. With Sean McVay scheming, Matthew Stafford delivering, and Davante Adams drawing coverage, Nacua could be this year’s breakout WR1. These five names should be the foundation of any 2025 fantasy roster.
