Matthew Berry's positional rankings for 2025 season
Here are my initial 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 many major 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 upside, as well as rookies, would move up significantly in those formats.
Remember, it's only May, so these rankings are still extremely fluid. I'll continue to adjust as news comes out, so definitely keep checking back in for the latest updates. And as we get closer to fantasy draft season, I will expand these positional rankings as well as my overall big board. In the meantime, let me know who you think I'm either too low or too high on for this upcoming season!

Revered Oscar Award-winner and Cowboys fan rips Jerry Jones: ‘All money ain't good money'
Oscar Award-winner Denzel Washington, 70, is one of the greatest actors to ever grace the big screen. Little do some know, Washington has been a Dallas Cowboys fan for over 60 years. Yet, to say he's been irked by the team's ownership would be an understatement. Tuesday on 'First Take,' Washington ripped Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, 82, for nickel and diming the team's best player — edge rusher Micah Parsons, 26 — who has not been offered a contract extension despite being in the final year of his rookie deal. Thus, Parsons, who has not participated in scrimmages or live drills, expressed his desire to be traded last week, which Washington seemingly put at the feet of Jones, who is still playing hardball. 'I've been a Cowboys fan since the 60s,' Washington said. 'He's making it hard for me. Not to be a fan because I'm still a Cowboys fan. I'm still gonna have the star on the side of the helmet. But he ain't thinking about us, he's thinking about his pockets.' Washington was on-set with filmmaker Spike Lee, promoting their movie 'Highest 2 Lowest' when he used one of its lines to lecture Jones. 'All money ain't good money, Jerry!' Washington said after teasing Jones for not elevating the Cowboys to the Super Bowl in almost 30 years. Jones purchased the Cowboys from Harvey Roberts 'Bum' Bright in 1989 and has overseen three Super Bowl-winners — in 1993, 1996 and 1996 — throughout his 36-year NFL career. Meanwhile, Washington is an acclaimed actor, director, and producer widely recognized for his powerful and engaging performances on both screen and stage. The New York Times named him the greatest actor of the 21st century in 2020. Todderick Hunt covers Sports and Culture and Recruiting. Have a story idea or a tip? He can be reached atthunt@

Denzel Washington Unloads on Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones: 'Wouldn't Know What It Is To Win'
Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington didn't hold back in his critique of the Dallas Cowboys during an appearance on ESPN's 'First Take.' Washington laid into owner Jerry Jones amid the contract saga with All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons and the seemingly never-ending soap opera surrounding the franchise. 'There's box office and there's Oscars, Jerry. Been awhile, huh?' the Cowboys superfan said. 'You ain't been to the show, you wouldn't know. Haven't been to the show so you wouldn't know what it is to win.' Washington was pointing to the fact that the Cowboys haven't sniffed the Super Bowl — let alone the NFC Championship game — in 30 seasons. The actor would add: 'All money ain't good money, Jerry.' Jones and the Cowboys have endured a tumultuous year. After an injury-ravaged season that saw Dallas miss the playoffs with a 7-10 record, head coach Mike McCarthy was fired. Instead of finding a new voice outside the organization, Jones decided to stay in-house and promote offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, a move critics widely panned. If that wasn't enough, Jones is now embroiled in a training camp controversy surrounding their best player. Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie deal that pays him $24 million and requested a trade on Aug. 1 after contract negotiations hit an impasse. Jones has yet to speak with Parsons' agent since, claiming the two had a handshake agreement on a new contract despite having nothing in writing.

Panthers OC Brad Idzik praises this WR for his insane ability to get open
It's getting harder and harder to imagine a Carolina Panthers roster that doesn't include wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. Offensive coordinator Brad Idzik hit the lectern on Tuesday afternoon, following the team's latest session of training camp. As a former wideout and receivers coach, Idzik was asked about the depth currently sitting in Carolina's room of pass catchers. "Oh, it's really deep," he told reporters. "I just applaud the competition, their approach. Been a part of a lot of rooms that have diverse skill sets. But this group, top to bottom, we say, 'Hey, we want you to conceptually learn so we plug you and play in different spots.' All those guys are playing in different spots, they're all challenging each other and pushing each other. You don't feel like there's a huge drop-off when you go from one group to the next." That group features two first-round picks in Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette, two-time Pro Bowler Adam Thielen and second-year standout Jalen Coker. The bunch also includes veteran Hunter Renfrow, who continues to make quite an impression on his comeback trail. "He just gets open. He just knows how to get open," Idzik said of Renfrow with a wide smile. "You might have bad leverage, he knows how to steal leverage. He's got freaky lateral quickness. When he opens up, he's like—big strides, powerful first four steps, which simulates, 'I'm going full-tilt vertical.'" Renfrow, who missed the entire 2024 campaign due to ulcerative colitis, signed a one-year deal with the Panthers back in April. The 29-year-old Myrtle Beach, S.C. native recently missed a number of practices, as well as the team's first preseason game on Friday, with a hamstring injury. But he's returned this week, and seemingly hasn't missed a step . . . Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.
