Matthew Berry's Updated Top 50 Overall Rankings for 2025
While these rankings are obviously adaptable, they are for a 1 QB league with full PPR scoring. And as we get closer to fantasy draft season, these rankings will expand to a top 100 and eventually a top 200.

As always, please let me know what you think of the rankings – what you agree with, what you don't – on social media where I am @MatthewBerryTMR on all forms of social media (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky) except the Bleacher Nation Fantasy App where I am merely @MatthewBerry.
Hard to keep it to just 50, and yes, I'm sure you have opinions on who should be on this list, who shouldn't, who is too high and who is too low. Hit me up.

Browns name Joe Flacco Week 1 starter - but how long will he last?
Yahoo Sports host Andrew Siciliano, senior NFL writer Frank Schwab and senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein discuss Cleveland's choice for its starting quarterback to open the season. Hear the full conversation on 'Inside Coverage' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript The Cleveland Browns today named Joe Flacco. He's a man, he's 40 as their starting quarterback, not just for a dress rehearsal. This coming Saturday, a 1 o'clock matinee at Huntington Bank Field against the Rams, in which Sean McVay will play nobody. He might even sign guys off the street to take Rams jerseys and to keep his guys healthy. So Joy, it is Joe Flacco, who took the Browns to the playoffs down the stretch in 2023, who doesn't just win by default. He wins because right now he's the best guy. Absolutely. And I think even before these injuries, this always seemed like the most likely outcome week one to me. I mean, Andrew, you and I saw each other at the Browns during mini camp before the summer break, before training camp. And to me, I left there thinking this is not a 4-way quarterback battle. This is 2 2-way quarterback battles. There is the veteran battle for week one and there is the rookie battle of, hey, who is most likely to be the one who gets a chance later in. The season if they decide to go from when now mode to, let's develop and plan for the future and determine if our guy's in-house mode. And I think that when I asked so many people around Cleveland, everyone from general manager Andrew Berry to head coach Kevin Stefanski, offensive coordinator Tommy Reese, what they were aligned on is the idea that their week one starter would be decided based on who is best able to operate the offense and make smart decisions. I think we, you know, we always talk about two things could be true as Joe Flacco is their best quarterback and also that is a sad statement for the Cleveland Browns because we saw Joe Flacco last year. The Colts tried to bench Anthony Richardson to say we need some time with Anthony. They watched two weeks of Flacco and they're like, Oh, we can't do this either. So anyway, that's your Browns starting quarterback in week one, Huzzah, and it just, it's, it's just, it, and also, yes, you're right, you can't put a guy out there when he's not ready. You can't put out the worst quarterback, but it also worked kind of both ways for Cleveland. We've talked all the time about their first 6 games, 1 and 5 wouldn't even be that bad of an outcome. 0 and 6 is on the table for them. It's an absolutely brutal start to the season. So you get through those six games, probably at some point in those six games or right after. Flacco gets benched, you go on to the next guy, and then you probably go on to the next. I'm full. I'll say this: I've said it. Four quarterbacks are going to start for the Cleveland Browns this year. I don't know when exactly Kenny Pickett's going to take over, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson's gonna take over, Shadoor's gonna take over, but I do believe all four quarterbacks will at least start one game this year, because I think you're going to want to get a look at both rookies, but I think can you pick a second line? I don't think Joe Flacco is making the season. It's just a mess in Cleveland. Look, their starting quarterback for 2026 is going to be playing on Saturdays this year, okay, like that. None of these guys are going to end up being the answer. Much less Joe Flacco. I think the biggest question is at what point do you say we need to see the kids, and then which of the young quarterbacks is the first one up? If you believe depth charts, and I don't put a lot of stock in them right now, it is still Gabriel three and Sanders four. That could change, right? They both played well, and by the way, it's not a binary decision. Browns fans, it is okay to say that both Shadoor Sanders and Dorian Gabriel played well. Like I I don't have to pick right now. They both played well. And if you're one of those fans out there that is screaming, this one's good and that one's awful, whichever one, you're probably not a Browns fan. You're probably a fan of one of those two quarterbacks from college, and you're just rooting. But I digress. Eventually, and Jimmy Haslam has said this, you're gonna have to see what you have. The question is when. Close

Do the Browns set themselves up with off-field controversies?
Yahoo Sports host Andrew Siciliano, senior NFL writer Frank Schwab and senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein discuss Cleveland's signing of Isaiah Bond and the wait to sign a contract with Quinshon Judkins following both players' recent court cases. Hear the full conversation on 'Inside Coverage' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript It's not the only news about the Browns today. Isaiah Bond, we talked about this last Thursday, has now officially signed. The former Alabama and Texas wide receiver had a no-bill against him, meaning a sexual assault allegation. The charges, or rather the DA in Texas, the state's attorney decided not to follow through with charges this past week, and the Browns signed Isaiah Bond today for a 3-year guaranteed contract for north of $3 million which means he's making the team. Which means maybe Deontay Johnson, uh, his roster spot is in danger. So the Browns, you'd have to think, feel that they get a 2nd or 3rd round value for a guy that they were able to sign off the street. In essence, it's a free draft pick. It should be noted, however, Frank, that the number 36 overall pick, Quinon Judkins, the running back from Ohio State, who, much like Bond will not face charges, an allegation of domestic abuse in Florida that was between minicamp and the start of training camp, has still not yet signed. Friend of ESPN, Adam Schefter reports that he may not sign until the NFL wraps up its investigation. And if you're Quinon Judkins, Frank, you're probably going, you. Isaiah Bond, 3 million guaranteed. I would like my full guarantee. Yet he's already run afoul of the law, even with charges being dropped, he could be suspended. So that looks like an impasse. It just seems like why would this franchise of all franchises be the one always in that business, but I get it, a bond, you feel like you're getting a discount. With Judkins, I think it's just getting really, really complicated and messy. They're a wait for the NFL to rule and try to sign him to a contract. I hate. I say this before we've even played a game with either of these guys, but the Browns took Judkins over Trayvon Henderson, who looks absolutely unbelievable so far with the Patriots. I don't know. It's one thing to bring in a player. The Browns do have this pattern of just person after person, and I know speeding tickets and domestic violence and sexual assault are not in the same categories, but don't, doesn't it feel like we're getting to a point where the Browns have way more off-field headlines rather than on-field headlines? I understand why people want to read into it. It's a string, those, you know, I don't say unfortunate events, but they're kind of all unrelated. But yeah, I mean, obviously those headlines are what they are. Those headlines don't get forgotten until you play a game, and they're going to play a game coming up on the set on September 7th, and we'll see what happens. Close

Troy Aikman thought Bengals backup QB Jake Browning had replaced Joe Burrow, but he hadn't
Monday Night Football analyst Troy Aikman thought Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was done for the night, but he wasn't. Aikman said Bengals backup Jake Browning had entered the game late in the first quarter, but Burrow was back on the field for more action during their NFL preseason game against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. "Well Jake Browning, he comes in now," Aikman said during the broadcast. "He takes over. Oh, excuse me. No Burrow, he's back in. I thought I saw that Browning's back in. But Burrow, they're gonna give him another shot." Earlier in the first quarter, Aikman said Burrow would be done playing for the night if it were up to Aikman. Burrow was brought down violently twice during the first quarter. Late in the first half, Aikman acknowledged the first half of the first Monday Night Football broadcast of the season was a little rough. "This preseason rust is something," Aikman said. "I know I've shown some of that. We'll see if we can clean some of that up in the second half." This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Troy Aikman thought Jake Browning had replaced Burrow, but he hadn't
