Top-10 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers for 2025: Who will Follow Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson?
Morgan provides his 2025 fantasy football rankings for wide receivers.
It's time to wrap up a way-too-early fantasy football ranking series I've been doing.
I've already ranked the top-10 quarterbacks, running backs and tight ends for 2025 and now will tackle wide receivers. Again, we'll look at things using a PPR format.

The Elite Duo
Everyone seems to have the same two guys ranked as the top-two fantasy wideouts for 2025. I do as well, so they get their own section.
Ja'Marr Chase is the No. 1 fantasy wideout for many for the upcoming season, and he's my top guy too.
He had an unbelievable 2024 season and could easily deliver another similar season. Even if he takes a step back, he outscored everyone else by so much that I'm still comfortable taking Chase first. He'd be my top overall pick as well.
Justin Jefferson slots in as my No. 2 fantasy receiver, just like he finished in 2024.
I'm a bit more skeptical with Jefferson because he'll have a first-year starting quarterback throwing to him, but Jefferson is talented enough to deliver monster fantasy numbers with any QB. He should have no issues being the No. 2 fantasy wideout, but he's a bit behind Chase until J.J. McCarthy can prove himself.
Other Top-10 Options
After Chase and Jefferson, I think there's another dropoff before some of the other fantasy wideout options.
I have Puka Nacua as my No. 3 fantasy wideout for 2025. He was third in fantasy points per game, but missed so many games that he was nowhere near the top 10.
The addition of Davante Adams to the Rams will open more things up for Nacua, and I think he delivers his best season yet, if he can stay healthy. The only reason I kept him out of the first section is for injury concerns.
I'll throw CeeDee Lamb into my No. 4 fantasy wideout spot for 2025. He averaged the eighth-most points per game despite dealing with injuries to himself and Dak Prescott. Most have Lamb in the No. 3 spot, but I'm not as high on him as most.
Give me Malik Nabers next. He averaged the seventh-most points per game last season, and that was while not having good quarterbacks throwing to him.
Russell Wilson might not be that great anymore, but he's still capable of turning Nabers into an even bigger fantasy star in 2025. I really wanted to put Nabers higher than this, and might be able to talk myself into it as the season gets closer.
I have Amon-Ra St. Brown in my No. 6 slot for 2025. He averaged the fifth-most points last season, but I think he takes a step back, along with the rest of the Lions' offense, this season.
St. Brown scored 13 total touchdowns last season, and I think a little decrease in that stat will move him back a couple slots overall. He'll still be a great fantasy asset, but I do see him taking a slight step back.
Give me Brian Thomas Jr. next. He was the No. 4 fantasy wideout in 2025, but I think he drops a few slots with the improvement of others and fully healthy seasons from some.
Thomas is the go-to guy in Jacksonville, but I like his situation least of all the guys we've ranked so far (just slightly behind Nabers). We'll see if he can prove me wrong.
Nico Collins ranks eighth for me. He averaged the ninth-most fantasy points per week last season, but dealt with injuries.
He'll take on an even bigger role in 2025 with Tank Dell unavailable. Collins should be in store for another big season, but I decided to dock Collins a few spots in my rankings because of some injury issues over his career - you can't ignore them completely.
I'll take A.J. Brown in my No. 9 spot. He averaged the 13th-most fantasy points per game a season ago, but some missed games held him back overall.
The Eagles' offense is running it back more or less, so another similar season should be in store for Brown. If he stays healthy all season, he's got a chance to finish a lot higher than ninth, but this is the spot I felt most comfortable putting him.
Give me Drake London to round out the top 10. He averaged the 14th-most points per game last season, but took fifth overall because he played in 17 games.
I also wanted to put London higher, but with Michael Penix Jr. now at quarterback, I feel safest putting London here. He could make me look foolish by the end of the season.
