The Micah Parsons trade to the Packers might not have a massive impact on the 2025 Fantasy football rankings, but it certainly gives the Packers' defense a boost, while downgrading the Cowboys' unit. His presence also makes life tougher for NFC North opponents who are Fantasy relevant such as Jahmyr Gibbs, Justin Jefferson and others. Players on teams like the Eagles, Giants and Commanders, meanwhile, get a little bit of a reprieve. 

There are so many angles to consider when crafting your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, that a comprehensive list of Fantasy football rankings can be a huge asset. Who are the best Fantasy football quarterback, running back, receiver and tight end picks for 2025? Before crafting your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2025 Fantasy football positional rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert's disappointing follow-up to a breakout 2023 season. It also called C.J. Stroud's down year, predicted Jayden Daniels' breakout campaign and projected James Cook to become one of Fantasy football's elite running backs in 2024.

The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020, nailing Jonathan Taylor's monstrous season in 2021 and correctly predicting C.J. Stroud would take a step back in 2024. Additionally, it's called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018 and Davante Adams in 2017. 

Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football positional rankings 2025, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts at every position. Head to SportsLine now to see them. 

Top 2025 Fantasy football QB rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top 2025 Fantasy football QB picks:

1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Jackson finished as the Fantasy QB1 last season, leading all quarterbacks with 915 rushing yards. He also posted career highs in passing yards (4,172) and passing touchdowns (41), averaging 25.6 Fantasy points per game. It was his highest Fantasy average since his other QB1 finish in 2019, when he averaged 28.1 points per game.

2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: Allen was the QB2 in Fantasy scoring last year only behind Jackson, averaging 22.6 Fantasy points per game. He has finished no lower than QB3 in Fantasy points per game since 2020, with three QB1 seasons during that stretch. Like Jackson, Allen delivers elite rushing production to go along with his passing volume.

3. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals: Burrow lands third in the model's rankings after leading the NFL in passing yards (4,918) and passing touchdowns (43) last season. He averaged 21.9 Fantasy points per game, which ranked third behind Jackson and Allen. Burrow will continue to play alongside wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, so he is a strong third option at his position, despite his lack of rushing upside. See more top QBs here.

Top 2025 Fantasy football RB rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top 2025 Fantasy football RB picks:

1. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley wasted little time proving his worth with his new team last year. After signing as a free agent in the offseason, he helped propel the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship. Reinvigorated, he played in 16 games and had a career-best 2,005 yards rushing on 345 carries (5.8 average) and 13 touchdowns. He also caught 33 passes for 278 yards (8.4 average) and two touchdowns.

2. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: The third-year player from Texas has been explosive. In 34 career games, he has rushed for 2,432 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also has 119 receptions for 918 yards (7.7 average) and five touchdowns. He had five games with 100 or more rushing yards and scored two touchdowns in five more. In a 44-38 season-ending overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers, he carried 28 times for 170 yards (6.1 average) and two scores.

3. Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions: The 23-year-old had a breakout season in 2024. He played in all 17 games, carrying 250 times for 1,412 yards (5.6 average) and 16 touchdowns. In the 45-31 divisional round loss to the Washington Commanders, Gibbs carried just 14 times, but still rushed for 105 yards (7.5 average) and two touchdowns. In a 31-9 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the regular-season finale, he carried 23 times for 139 yards (6.0 average) and three scores. He also caught five passes for 31 yards and one touchdown. See more top RBs here.

Top 2025 Fantasy football WR rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top 2025 Fantasy football WR picks: 

1. Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals: Chase became the fifth player since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 to win the receiving triple crown, leading the NFL with 127 catches for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns last season. He's tactical, he possesses exceptional body control and he's as dynamic with the ball in his hands as any player in the league.

2. Malik Nabers, New York Giants: LSU wide receivers have become the gold standard in recent years and Nabers (as well as Brian Thomas Jr.) continued the tradition of excellence last season. Russell Wilson might be a bridge to Jaxson Dart (with Jameis Winston also factoring in if things go sideways), but that quarterback room should be an upgrade over last year's when Nabers had 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games.

3. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings: In five NFL seasons, Jefferson has 495 catches for 7,432 yards and 40 touchdowns and even hit 1,000 yards when he missed seven games in 2023. It's strange to think that you can take a stat line like 100-1,500-8 for granted, but we might all be doing that with Jefferson, who still belongs in any conversation regarding the league's best receiver. See more top WRs here.

Top 2025 Fantasy football TE rankings

Here's a look at SportsLine's top 2025 Fantasy football TE picks:

1. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders: Bowers finished as TE1 last year despite catching passes from Gardner Minshew, Aidan O'Connell, and Desmond Ridder. Regardless, he finished with 112 catches for 1,194 receiving yards and five touchdowns. With Geno Smith throwing him passes and Ashton Jeanty in the backfield, it's no surprise he's the projected TE1.

2. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers: Kittle is entering his ninth season but is still one of the best players at his position. During the 2024 season, Kittle logged 78 catches for 1,106 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. He also averaged 14.2 yards per reception. With Deebo Samuel gone and Brandon Aiyuk expecting to return sometime in October, the 49ers will be relying on Kittle a ton in the passing attack.

3. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals: McBride has improved in each season in the NFL and has shown that he's one of the best players in his position. In 2024, he posted 111 grabs for 1,146 receiving yards and two touchdowns. With Marvin Harrison Jr. expected to take a step forward, it'll create even more favorable matchups for McBride, clearing the way for him to have another stellar season. See more top TEs here.
