Top 75 Dynasty Wide Receivers


The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books and it’s officially rookie draft and start up season. Over the next couple weeks, I’ll be sharing my updated dynasty rankings. Below are my top 75 wide receivers, broken into six tiers.

Tier 1:

1 Ja'Marr Chase

2 Justin Jefferson

3 Malik Nabers

4 CeeDee Lamb

5 Amon-Ra St. Brown

About: Like with running backs, I have a smaller first tier. These are the five best receivers for me, and I think they separate themselves from those in Tier 2.

Tier 2:

6 Brian Thomas Jr.

7 AJ Brown

8 Drake London

9 Puka Nacua

10 Jaxon Smith-Njigba

11 Ladd McConkey

12 Nico Collins

13 Garrett Wilson

14 Tee Higgins

15 Tet McMillan

About: These are the rest of the guys I think fight for WR1 status. There are some young studs on here, and some veterans who are still in their prime even if they’re not the No. 1 receiver for their own team. If you have one of those group or the top group, you’re feeling good. If you have two, even better. If you don’t have any, you’re overcoming a bit to compete.

Tier 3:

16 DeVonta Smith

17 Travis Hunter

18 Emeka Egbuka

19 DK Metcalf

20 Terry McLaurin

21 Marvin Harrison Jr.

22 Zay Flowers

23 Luther Burden

24 DJ Moore

25 Mike Evans

26 Tyreek Hill

27 Jameson Williams

28 Brandon Aiyuk

29 Khalil Shakir

About: This is an interesting group. We have some guys here that are the second option on a good passing offense, or guys who are the top receiver in a crowded room or a team that has quarterback questions. All of them have upside, but there are challenges to them getting into the tier above. In some cases, it’s just the competition for targets on their own team. Either way, these are some good players with plenty of upside.

Tier 4: 

30 Rashee Rice

31 Jaylen Waddle

32 Rome Odunze

33 Davante Adams

34 Courtland Sutton

35 Chris Godwin

36 Jerry Jeudy

37 Michael Pittman Jr

38 Jayden Reed

39 Matthew Golden

40 Chris Olave

41 Jordan Addison

42 Jayden Higgins

43 Josh Downs

44 Tre Harris

About: This is a group with talent but that face some challenges. For some, it’s off-the-field questions. For some, it’s questions about their quarterback situation and passing game for their team. For others, it’s about the massive competition for targets in the offense. I like all these players, and all of them will likely be in lineups throughout the season, some may even win you a week, but they don’t have the consistency of the tiers above them or the ceiling.

Tier 5:

45 Cooper Kupp

46 Deebo Samuel

47 George Pickens

48 Ricky Pearsall

49 Calvin Ridley

50 Jakobi Meyers

51 Xavier Worthy

52 Xavier Legette

53 Jack Bech

54 Stefon Diggs

55 Romeo Doubs

About: This is a tier of talented players that will play a role on your fantasy roster in 2025. But what does the future hold? That’s something of a question. This is mostly older players who face competition for targets and don’t have long-term security, or younger players who are in crowded rooms facing plenty of competition. Good players but not the most stable for dynasty.

Tier 6:

56 Jalin Noel

57 Christian Kirk

58 Marvin Mims

59 Keon Coleman

60 Jalen McMillan

61 Darnell Mooney

62 Rashid Shaheed

63 Kyle Williams

64 Cedric Tillman

65 Michael Wilson

66 Rashod Bateman

67 Elic Ayomanor

68 Nathaniel Dell

69 Jalen Royals

70 DeAndre Hopkins

71 Marquise Brown

72 Josh Palmer

73 Keenan Allen

74 Demario Douglas

75 Wan'Dale Robinson

About: We get to our last tier and it’s a big one. Why this big? Well, simply, it’s because these players find themselves in the same situation. Any one of them could be viable on a given week. Some of them may even help you win a week, with the exception of Dell, who is here because of his long-term health questions. The group is made up of young players with an uncertain path to targets waiting to establish themselves, role players who are trying to carve out targets on their team, and veterans who are near the end. All of them should be rostered, but it’s hard to know what to expect any given week.

  It was an interesting week for new releases in theaters. Below is my take on the two big theatrical films from the weekend. You can keep up with everything I’m watching by following me on Letterboxd @knighthawk7734. Boy Kills World (Theaters) Starring : Bill Skarsgard, Jessica Rothe, Famke Janssen, Brett Gellman, and Michelle Dockery Synopsis : We have seen a lot of action films this year. Many have featured violent sequences, but some have been more artful than others. The new film, Boy Kills World, provides plenty of violence. It’s right there in the title. But where it falls short is in building something compelling beyond the killing spree. We’re introduced to a Boy (Skarsgard) early in the film. He tells us that his world is ruled by the Van Der Koy family, whose head, Hilda (Janssen) keeps the people in line through an annual Culling, where she kills “enemies.” Our protagonist’s mother and sister were among her victims. The Boy barely survived; saved by the Shaman (Yayan Ru...

2010 Rewind: The Book of Eli

Image
It's hard to believe, but 2010 was 15 years ago. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some stand out films from 2010 that are turning 15 in 2025. Today, it's a dystopian story featuring Denzel Washington. Eli: People had more than they needed. We had no idea what was precious and what wasn't. We threw away things people kill each other for now. The Book of Eli Starring: Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis, Jennifer Beals, and Gary Oldman Director: Allen and Albert Hughes About : I have a love/hate relationship with this movie. It's a dystopian tale featuring Denzel Washington in a dark and intriguing story. I have never totally loved it but it has long stuck with me. There's a style to the violence and storytelling that's interesting. The choice of visual tones is interesting. But, mostly, it's the way the film taps into Scripture that has been appealing. Is it perfect? Far from it. In fact, it might be too literal in some of its takes on the ...

2005 Rewind: The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Image
  It's hard to believe, but 2005 was 20 years ago. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some stand out films from 2005 that are turning 20 in 2025. Today, it's the start of an animated franchise. Father Moore : Once you've looked into the darkness, I think you carry it with you for the rest of your life. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) Starring : Jennifer Carpenter, Laura Linney, and Tom Wilkinson Director : Scott Derrickson About : We've seen plenty of exorcism films in the past. I break it down into two groups. In the first, the film uses the rite of exorcism as a plot device for a horror film. For the most part, that's how The Exorcist plays out. In the second group, the film is interested in exploring the religious aspects of exorcism. That's the category this film falls into. It was directed by Derrickson, who attended Biola University like me, which is one of the reasons I was interested in seeing it. It plays out like a courtroom dram...
