RotoBaller's August update delivers the 2025 FLEX draft rankings for RBs, WRs, and TEs with tiered clarity to dominate drafts. The piece centers on standout early-value targets like Jeudy, Etienne, and Allen, while spotlighting sleepers such as Keon Coleman and Colston Loveland. It emphasizes how a high-volume pass attack or committee backfield can shift FLEX value and how injury news and roster changes will continually reshape picks through Week 1. A branded call to leverage multiple ranking portals and formats remains a theme, encouraging readers to bookmark the site for 14 different ranking types and various scoring settings.

Jerry Jeudy’s chemistry boost with Flacco in Cleveland adds a compelling high-floor floor floor argument for WR value, while Etienne Jr. in Jacksonville hints at a large workload even in a crowded backfield. Keenan Allen’s target-dense profile is framed as a reliable bye-week anchor in PPR formats, and Colston Loveland’s late-round TE upside in Chicago offers a dart-throw path in shallow or best-ball leagues. The FLEX ladder also nods to Keon Coleman and other wideouts, reinforcing the idea that roster construction in 2025 hinges on identifyingTiered gems at multiple positions rather than chasing a single position’s early stars.

Caleb Williams guided Chicago’s offense in Ben Johnson’s system during a productive preseason showing, delivering an opening-drive TD over two drives. The Bills rested starters, but Williams looked comfortable operating the scheme, hinting at upside once game tempo rises. Colston Loveland flashed on the Bears’ first drive, snagging two catches for 26 yards, signaling potential late-season target value. Austin Booker pressed the edge, collecting sacks and another elite grade as Chicago’s defense contributed to a strong night.

The box score reflected a one-sided night, yet the notable threads for fantasy: Williams’ command early, Loveland’s immediate fit, and Booker’s impact off the edge. PFF will finalize grades after review, but early data and snap counts point to a Bears offense that could be a sleeper in deeper fantasy formats if Williams sustains the rhythm. Bears and Bills look to tighten results once Week 1 arrives, making Williams and Loveland worth monitoring closely in dynasty and daily leagues.

Caleb Williams flashed early in Ben Johnson’s Chicago system, sparking optimism for the Bears in a brisk preseason showing against the Bills. A 97-yard opening drive fueled by crisp decisions and precise throws to Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet culminated in a touchdown to Olamide Zaccheaus. Williams finished 6-of-10 for 107 yards with a 130.0 passer rating, and he didn’t take a sack across either series, a sign of improved pocket presence. The second drive was shakier, though not solely his fault, with a handful of imperfect plays and a ball dropped by Rome Odunze. Williams’ mechanics look cleaner—his left-foot forward posture and steadier base suggest a more reliable foundation than last season. Minnesota Week 1 looms, and the Williams-Johnson pairing has a tantalizing early look. If he sustains this tempo, Loveland, Kmet, Zaccheaus and Moore stand to benefit, with Roschon Johnson providing a potential backfield spark in fantasy formats.

Caleb Williams’ preseason debut for the Bears flashed the timing and downfield touch that sparked all the hype around him last year. He opened with an 8-yard connection to Colston Loveland, followed by a 28-yard strike to Cole Kmet, then found Olamide Zaccheaus for a 36-yard TD as Chicago drove crisply against the Bills. Williams finished 6 of 10 for 107 yards with a TD, signaling the Ben Johnson–framed offense has a high ceiling even in limited action.

Beyond Williams, Roschon Johnson supplied a steady burst, Loveland offered a quick-move target, Kmet showed his reliable safety-valve chops, and Odunze flashed as a potential big-play option. The performance comes amid Bears camp chatter of a mixed bag, but Sunday night’s rhythm suggested a system that could unlock fantasy upside in year two of this pairing, especially if Williams stays accurate and the offense sustains its tempo against opponents with stronger first-string looks.
