Fantasy football 2025 targets lean toward a blend of floor stability and big-week upside. The board centers on Gibbs and Burrow as premium floor/purchase options, with McConkey and Williams offering high-volume PPR paths in high-octane offenses. Henderson and Pacheco add versatility in run-game and pass-game roles that could push RB2 weeks into the RB1 mix. At receiver, Meyers, Pearsall, Williams, and McConkey (jointly with Williams) offer steady targets and YAC upside, while Engram provides reliable tight-end floor in a boosted Denver offense. Late-round fliers like Marvin Mims Jr., Luther Burden III, and Jordan Mason add dart-throw ceiling for depth. Draft plans should balance floor with upside while saving bullets for late-round diversification.

The guide emphasizes pairing a top QB with a workhorse back and a high-upsideWR2/WR3 duo, then layering in a mid-round TE with clear target shares. It also notes that any roster wins weeks with breakout weeks from single players, making the tape and usage charts essential. The late-round flier slate supplies leverage: Mims as a clear burner with tournament upside, Burden as schemed touches, and Mason as a zone-attack backfield piece who could surprise in 2025.

This approach supports a rounded, weekly-flex strategy: lock in Burrow and Gibbs for safe floor, stitch in McConkey and Williams for high-filtered targets in the Chargers’ and Lions’ air-cores, and sprinkle Engram with Mayfield’s pass-heavy and seam-stretching style. The plan also keeps a watchful eye on Henderson, Henderson’s role, and Mayfield’s ceiling outside of structure—plus the late-round fliers who can swing a season in depth-heavy leagues.

Wide-net drafting pays off in fantasy football, and this piece spotlights players who pop in drafts regardless of skepticism. Malik Nabers lands in a juicy Giants target floor after 170 looks last season, with a QB upgrade looming. Jalen Hurts is highlighted for capitalizing on value at the quarterback spot, with a potential fourth-QB discount that can boost overall week-to-week upside. TreVeyon Henderson and Jaylen Waddle are flagged for breakout traps, while Isiah Pacheco, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Tre’Quan Smith, Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb are shown as high-uptake, mid-round staples. The analysis also dives into Puka Nacua’s rising offense, Amon-Ra St. Brown’s consistency, Jordan Love’s upside, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy as late flier bets, and Tyreek Hill as a safe play in explosive offenses. Finally, it reps a shift toward late QB fliers such as Maye, McCarthy and Love to harvest upside at thin positions.

Beyond individual picks, the piece emphasizes smart tiering and the patience to ride value, especially with players who could outproduce their ADP if the surrounding supporting cast returns to form. The goal is to assemble a diverse roster with high-upside options who may already be on the board when you’re ready to pull the trigger, rather than chasing a single upside player at a steep price. The takeaway: embrace risk, diversify, and lean into thoughtful value plays that can swing a season in your fantasy leagues.

Week 2 of the NFL preseason delivered a clear signal: Jaxson Dart is emerging as the league’s standout rookie quarterback through two exhibitions, completing 26 of 35 passes for 291 yards with two touchdowns across Giants performances. His poise, accuracy on middle throws, and a slick fake that freed Greg Dulcich for a score hint at a real developmental arc in New York’s QB competition. TreVeyon Henderson flashed burst and patience, hinting at a meaningful early role for New England, while Teddy Bridgewater delivered a couple of red-zone darts that underscored his value as a trusted veteran in Tampa Bay. Philadelphia rookie Andrew Mukuba showed a nose for the football with a pick-six and a fumble recovery, offering a potential secondary option for a rebuilding secondary. On the downside, MarShawn Lloyd’s lingering injury woes and the Cowboys’ backup shakeups stalled fantasy optimism, Joe Milton III struggled for Dallas, Van Jefferson combined a clean route with a missed catch, and Stafford’s unclear return schedule cast a cloud over the Rams’ offensive window. Week 2 left managers with a mix of fresh optimism and cautious notes as rosters thin and roles sharpen.

RotoBaller rolls out updated 2025 fantasy football PPR RB rankings for redraft leagues, led by Barkley, Robinson, Gibbs, and McCaffrey at the very top. The updated tiering blends proven workhorses with pass-catching backs poised for heavy volume, while backfields lean toward committees that could reshape weekly touches. Eyes stay on the back of the Falcons, Chiefs, Jaguars, and Patriots as ADPs shift with off-season moves and depth-chart tweaks.

Bijan Robinson's ceiling remains sky-high, the Isiah Pacheco workload question looms after 2024 injuries and signings, and Etienne's Jacksonville group could fragment early-down work. TreVeyon Henderson shows PPR upside in New England, Bhayshul Tuten levels the Jaguars' backfield, and a deeper corps—think Williams, White, and fellow pass-catchers—gives fantasy managers more late-round pivots and risk-adjusted week-to-week planning. Expect ongoing updates as rosters evolve.
