Matthew Berry's positional rankings for 2025 season
Matthew Berry, Connor Rogers, Jay Croucher and Lawrence Jackson Jr. analyze the top 10 of Berry's updated overall 2025 fantasy football rankings, explaining how the Cowboys acquiring George Pickens affects CeeDee Lamb. 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! QB Rankings RB Rankings WR Rankings TE Rankings Matthew Berry, Connor Rogers, Jay Croucher and Lawrence Jackson Jr. analyze the fantasy outlook for Joe Burrow and explain why the two-time Pro Bowler is set for another big season in 2025. The FFHH crew discuss Derrick Henry's impressive longevity and explain why they're comfortable with trusting the 31-year-old running back in fantasy despite the mileage he's accumulated throughout his career. Matthew Berry, Connor Rogers, Jay Croucher and Lawrence Jackson Jr. explain why they expect a big year from Drake London in Atlanta but aren't so high on Jonnu Smith after top-tier production with the Miami Dolphins. Matthew Berry explains why target competition and quarterback play hurt Tyler Warren's fantasy stock with the Indianapolis Colts.
