2025 Top Ten Fantasy Football WRs

If you’re a fantasy football manager between the ages of 20 and 50, you’re probably juggling a job, a social life, and the existential dread of drafting the wrong wide receiver in the third round. Fear not! Here’s your definitive (and only slightly unhinged) guide to the top 10 fantasy football wide receivers for the 2025 NFL season. Draft these guys and you’ll be the office hero—or at least avoid being the guy who drafts a kicker in round five again.

Top 10 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers for 2025

1. Jamar Chase, Bengals. He’s the WR1 on every list for a reason. Last year, Chase put up numbers so big your calculator needed therapy. He’s Joe Burrow’s BFF, and unless the Bengals replace Burrow with a Roomba, Chase is a lock for elite production.

2. Justin Jefferson, Vikings. Jefferson is so good he could catch passes from your uncle at Thanksgiving and still finish as a top-3 fantasy WR. The Vikings’ QB situation is stable enough for Jefferson to keep doing the Griddy all over your fantasy opponents.

3. CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys. Dak Prescott’s favorite target, Lamb is so prolific he’s basically a human cheat code. Expect more highlight reels and at least three games where he scores more points than your entire running back corps combined.

4. Puka Nacua, Rams. Nacua went from “Who?” to “Wow!” faster than you can say “waiver wire regret.” He’s the Rams’ WR1 and a PPR monster. Draft him and enjoy the ride—just don’t try to pronounce his last name in public.

5. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions. The Sun God himself. He’s so consistent you’d think he was sponsored by Metamucil. If you like your fantasy points steady and your touchdowns spicy, Amon-Ra is your guy.

6. Tyreek Hill, Dolphins. He’s still got wheels, and Tua is still throwing bombs. Tyreek might be 31, but he runs like he’s late for a flight. Age is just a number—unless you’re drafting running backs.

7. Garrett Wilson, Jets. Justin Fields is not the best at going through his progressions so Wilson, being the number one option, might get a ton of targets. Wilson is set for a breakout. He’s got the talent, the opportunity, and the kind of upside that makes you ignore bye weeks until it’s too late.

8. Drake London, Falcons. London finished last season on a tear, and with Michael Penix Jr. under center, he’s ready to make Atlanta fans forget about the Super Bowl. Or at least try.

9. Rashee Rice, Chiefs. Back from injury and ready to be Mahomes’ new best friend. With Kelce aging like a fine wine (or maybe a slightly expired cheese), Rice is primed for a target bonanza. Just hope Mahomes doesn’t “hit stick” his knee again.

10. Ladd McConkey, Chargers. Draft Ladd McConkey because he’s the only wide receiver in the league whose name sounds like a 1920s detective and a TikTok dance move at the same time. Plus, with 82 catches, 1,149 yards, and seven touchdowns as a rookie, he’s already proven he can solve the mystery of the end zone better than most. If you want a guy who can rack up fantasy points and make your league-mates ask, “Wait, is that a real name?” every Sunday, McConkey is your man.

Honorable Mentions

• George Pickens, Cowboys: Boom-or-bust, just like your last crypto investment.

• Jayden Reed, Packers: Waiting for more volume, but the efficiency is there.

• Ricky Pearsall, 49ers: If Aiyuk misses time, Pearsall could be a league-winner.

  

Remember: Fantasy football is 50% skill, 50% luck, and 100% trash talk. Draft these wide receivers and you’ll have all the ammo you need for your group chat—and maybe even a championship trophy to show off at your next Zoom meeting.

Now go forth, draft wisely, and may your waiver wire pickups never ghost you!
