    July is the perfect time to refresh my dynasty ranks heading into the 2025 season. Let’s go position by position and breakdown the dynasty assets in order.

    Rank Player Team Age Notes
    1 Ja’Marr Chase CIN 25 The best WR in the world, and arguably the top dynasty asset in every format.
    2 Justin Jefferson MIN 26 Apex predator undergoing another QB change, but should be fully insulated by the Vikings’ system.
    3 CeeDee Lamb DAL 26 Superstar who’s the top candidate to lead the NFL in catches this year.
    4 Malik Nabers NYG 22 Instant star as a rookie who overcame one of the worst QB situations ever to breakout. Possible dynasty 1.01 this time next year.
    5 Brian Thomas JAC 22 Top-five WR as a rookie delivered a less expected breakout compared to his college teammate Nabers. Should get an offensive upgrade this year.
    6 Amon-Ra St. Brown DET 25 Incredibly reliable and solid prime veteran WR. Lacks the true alpha upside of his peers like Chase and Jefferson.
    7 Puka Nacua LAR 24 Like St. Brown, has had an improbable, undeniable run from day three pick to superstar in two years. No. 1 WR for Sean McVay is ultra-valuable.
    8 Drake London ATL 24 We finally saw London put it all together in 2025, and now he gets a QB who loves to pocket pass and funnel targets to his stars.
    9 Nico Collins HOU 26 All the traits of a true No. 1, it just took him three years to get there. Rock-solid alpha who should see a target share uptick.
    10 Ladd McConkey LAC 23 The third of the awesome 2024 rookies, he’s one of the most talented route runners the league has seen in a while, and he’s got a great offensive situation.
    11 Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA 23 In hindsight, it was crazy to take JSN in the 8th round in 2024. Now is the clear No. 1 in Seattle, which might not be a great offense, but will certainly feed him.
    12 Garrett Wilson NYJ 25 Hard to say if a contract extension that ties you to the Jets is bullish or bearish. Star-level WR who could be a second-contract superstar if they ever find him a QB.
    13 Tetairoa McMillan CAR 22 My favorite of the 2025 rookies, T-Mac inherits a situation screaming for an alpha WR and more passing. Going in the fourth round in redraft, which is quite bullish.
    14 Marvin Harrison ARI 23 Maybe the biggest slam dunk rookie WR in years, and what we got instead was a mess. Huge year for him, as his talent will go head-to-head with his red flags.
    15 A.J. Brown PHI 28 Year in, year out alpha WR who gets the job done despite a run-heavy offense. Safe investment, and for like the third straight year, a great win-now target.
    16 Travis Hunter JAC 22 Most difficult puzzle drafters have had to solve in years. It’s probably safe to be bullish, just because he’s so obviously talented, but the snap volume concerns loom large.
    17 Emeka Egbuka TB 22 I’m extremely pro-Egbuka, who has an extremely high floor and got drafted into a great situation that simply has some talent blocking him, for now. Passing on him because of two post-prime, oft-injured WRs will likely backfire.
    18 Rashee Rice KC 25 Likely to be suspended for a significant chunk of 2025, and could be derailed overall by character concerns, but the guy seems destined for the most fantasy points for a Patrick Mahomes pass catcher over the next two years.
    19 Rome Odunze CHI 23 Underwhelming rookie year has him down to WR5 among second-year guys, but he’s a sleeping giant valuewise if he can take the alpha role in the Ben Johnson offense.
    20 Tee Higgins CIN 26 The Rolls Royce of WR2s, he’s locked into a great offense. Great player to have when he’s hot, annoying player to have when he inevitably is questionable to out for half the season with a nagging leg injury.
    21 Xavier Worthy KC 22 Rice suspension news is a huge boost for Worthy, who could have stepped back into more of a complementary role, but now likely gets a clear run toward an early season alpha role. Need to be more efficient in 2025.
    22 Jameson Williams DET 24 Crazy career so far, but this volatile asset hit more than he missed in 2024, and he’s ready to be a home run hitter in his prime.
    23 Jordan Addison MIN 23 Kind of the NFC North Jameson Williams Waluigi. Faces a likely short suspension in 2025, but has been a dangerous big play guy since he first stepped onto the field.
    24 George Pickens DAL 24 Usually, getting traded before the last year of your rookie contract and getting dumped by Mike Tomlin is terrible. However, Pickens gets a premium, needed WR2 role in Dallas, and has made it clear he’s playing for a big free agent contract in 2025.
    25 DeVonta Smith PHI 26 If Higgins is the Rolls Royce of WR2s, Smith is the Toyota Corolla. Not a ton of upside, but he gets you from point A to point B better and more reliably than anybody with a superstar on the other side.
    26 DK Metcalf PIT 27 Not necessarily great to get traded to a bad passing offense, but the extension he got at 27 is so massive that it secures his dynasty value into his early 30s, when players like him tend to decline.
    27 Jaylen Waddle MIA 26 Waddle is the least reliable of the premium WR2s, as he’s seemingly always in and out with injuries and regularly no-shows. After the Jonnu Smith trade, 2025 becomes a huge year for Waddle to show he’s still got elite ceiling.
    28 Zay Flowers BAL 24 Flowers just didn’t do enough while his QB had one of the best fantasy seasons ever in 2024. He’s the defacto No. 1 in Baltimore, but his production doesn’t stand out with any consistency.
    29 D.J. Moore CHI 28 The vibes on Moore out of the new Ben Johnson regime are not great. There’s a chance 2025 is the year his value bubble bursts. There’s also a good chance he delivers an awesome veteran WR2 season to sustain his long-term outlook.
    30 Matthew Golden GB 22 In a normal year without Hunter, Golden would be the toughest rookie WR to figure out. He gets first-round draft capital into a great offense, but his prospect profile isn’t ideal for a future NFL No. 1. He should hold value well early on, regardless.
    31 Luther Burden CHI 21 There’s a lot of variability in Burden’s range of outcomes. He was the likely WR1 heading into the 2024 college season, but he tumbled after Mizzou was brutal offensively. Now he gets an awesome offensive situation that he’s going to have to prove himself quickly to take advantage of. I’m buying him a lot.
    32 Chris Olave NO 25 It seemed like Olave might just be done at times late last year, but the further that time fades into the past, the easier of a bet he becomes. Just needs some semblance of competent QB play that doesn’t regularly try to kill him like Derek Carr did.
    33 Josh Downs IND 24 My favorite underrated young receiver. He’s tiny, so that works against him, but he just consistently delivers when he has a QB who gets him the ball (aka not Anthony Richardson). Should thrive with merely Daniel Jones at QB.
    34 Terry McLaurin WAS 30 McLaurin finally delivered the elusive WR1 season in 2024, but now he’s staring down a holdout as he turns the corner to the other side of 30. If you have him, you need to be manifesting an extension to keep him paired with Jayden Daniels.
    35 Mike Evans TB 32 An out-and-out fantasy legend, the end could come at any time but hasn’t yet.
    36 Tyreek Hill MIA 31 The Tyreek calculus is pretty clear: either he was impacted by the wrist injury he suffered in his bizarre arrest before Week 1 and he bounces back, or he’s done in a similar way that Antonio Brown went out a few years ago.
    37 Ricky Pearsall SF 24 Hard to evaluate Pearsall, because it’s tough to judge a rookie season that was so significantly impacted by getting shot in the chest. He’s already hurt again, but the opportunity for him in San Francisco is there.
    38 Brandon Aiyuk SF 27 2024 was a complete disaster for Aiyuk, but he could shoot back up in dynasty if he gets going again in the second half of 2025.
    39 Davante Adams LAR 32 Adams is among the best win-now buys in dynasty, as he thrived in a similar role with the Jets last year in an offense that should be even better for him (and with a much more injury-prone WR1 opposite him).
    40 Jayden Higgins HOU 22 Higgins set the market for fully guaranteed second-round picks this year, which is super bullish for a guy that steps into hundreds of targets vacated by Tank Dell and Stefon Diggs.
    41 Jayden Reed GB 25 The offense the Packers ran after Jordan Love got hurt in Week 1 really mushed Reed. The Golden draft pick was similarly bearish. Reed has to get rolling early in 2025 to yo-yo his value back up the rankings.
    42 Jerry Jeudy CLE 26 Fulfilled his long-prophisized potential with Jameis Winston, but doesn’t have that benefit any more. How transcendant can he really be in this terrible situation in Cleveland?
    43 Courtland Sutton DEN 29 The dictionary definition of an underrated WR, but maybe not good enough to earn a big contract in his 30s to boost his value.
    44 Khalil Shakir BUF 25 Ultra-consistent slot WR on a team that lacks overall consistency outside of their elite QB. Steady, not flashy long-term investment.
    45 Tre Harris LAC 23 Another high-variance upside bet for the Chargers WR room. Harris falls somewhere in between McConkey and Quentin Johnson fro a median outcome perspective, for me. He has awesome college stats in an unfortunately gimmicky offense.
    46 Keon Coleman BUF 22 Coleman had an iffy rookie year and isn’t very good at getting open, although he’s solid in contested catch situations. Would benefit from more of a big slot role, but Shakir is elite there. His upside case is complicated.
    47 Jauan Jennings SF 28 Third and Jauan is basically the Niners only healthy wide receiver who matters, but he has a murky future. Risky buy, but given how readily available he was before last year, it’s probably worth holding him to see if he has a true breakout.
    48 Chris Godwin TB 29 Current injury vibes aren’t great, but he was dominant last year before the injury. If he gets back to full health by October, he’s a great veteran piece to have.
    49 Calvin Ridley TEN 30 Nobody wants to love Calvin Ridley, but if Cam Ward is merely good as a rookie, Ridley should see top-10 volume among NFL pass catchers, as there’s really no one else on his level in Tennessee.
    50 Jakobi Meyers LVR 28 Meyers is an average NFL WR who has added fantasy value by virtue of being the clear WR1 in his offense (although not the top pass catcher). You can likely get some solid production here, but nothing that will blow you away or sustain value.
    51 Deebo Samuel WAS 29 Adding Samuel to the mix for the Commanders is a huge wild card, as it could revitalize his career or prove with finality that he’s washed up. I tend to want to take a shot on him since Washington badly needed a second option for Daniels last year.
    52 Kyle Williams NE 22 Williams rose throughout the draft process and got great capital from a WR-needy team with a good young QB. He could see his stock shoot up if he’s good as a rookie.
    53 Jack Bech LVR 22 Another second-round rookie entering a WR room in need of an upgrade, the early offseason vibes weren’t great for Bech, but he could be a poor man’s McConkey.
    54 Michael Pittman IND 27 Nobody likes Pittman anymore, but if he gets a QB who can actually pass, he could bounce back with the added protection of his lucrative second contract.
    55 Darnell Mooney ATL 27 The most obvious redraft value a year ago, Mooney is similar to Meyers in that he’s an average WR in a great volume situation for his final few prime years. Worth having these types of guys if you’re competing.
    56 Jaylin Noel HOU 23 Upside slot WR who is currently blocked by an injury prone veteran, but got paired with his college teammate in an offense that should rebound. Could be the most underrated rookie WR right now.
    57 Cedric Tillman CLE 25 Tillman broke out last year before getting knocked out of action by a severe concussion. He’s just a bit hard to buy into because he’s in Cleveland. Would benefit greatly from a hot start with Joe Flacco.
    58 Rashod Bateman BAL 25 The cardio king, Bateman got extended in a situation that should be better for him but largely never has. Could still take a step forward, but looks destined to peak at “just OK.”
    59 Stefon Diggs NE 31 Veteran WR off of a serious knee injury changing teams into a worse situation is a really low percentage gamble. The odds that Diggs is just done are greater than his chances to post a WR1 season again.
    60 Cooper Kupp SEA 32 First-time team change for an aging, injury-prone WR who started to show signs of decline last year. However, Seattle is a homecoming for him, and the role for him is very clear.
    61 Adonai Mitchell IND 22 Hard to get excited about the WR4 for the Colts, but Mitchell showed significant flahses of upside when he got on the field as a rookie. If he can carve out a real role for himself, he still has substantial upside.
    62 Xavier Legette CAR 24 The McMillan draft pick after Legette had an up-and-down rookie year is a pretty heavy blow to his upside. That said, the likelihood that he can be a productive, effective WR2 was always higher than his chances at reaching WR1 heights.
    63 Pat Bryant DEN 22 Sean Payton talked him up like crazy, and the Broncos have a lot of mid in the pass-catching group. He’s a great stash with a chance to be really productive in 2026.
    64 Demario Douglas NE 24 Underrated, undersized target hound. He’s still very young and has been solid in both his seasons in a bad offense.
    65 Wan’Dale Robinson NYG 24 Fresh off the worst 100-catch season ever, Robinson got a QB upgrade, but lacks upside opposite one of the league’s best young WRs.
    66 Rashid Shaheed NO 27 Shaheed has as much weekly upside as anyone, but he’s too inconsistent to trust in formats where you have to set lineups. If this QB situation is as bad as it looks, he could have way more misses than hits.
    67 Christian Kirk HOU 28 Getting called “Slot Demon” by his new coaching staff, but not one but two promising rookie WRs pushing him from the jump as he returns from an ACL tear doesn’t bode well.
    68 Hollywood Brown KC 28 The forgotten man in KC gets an early boost from Rice’s looming suspension. He’s in the no man’s land portion of his career.
    69 Jalen Coker CAR 23 Coker looked better than Legette as a rookie, but McMillan really caps his unlikely upside. Still like him as a sneaky mid-career breakout based on his impressive rookie season.
    70 Marvin Mims DEN 23 Very difficult player to figure out, but if Denver is committed to giving him volume, he’s got a chance to establish himself as a dynasty value.
    71 Romeo Doubs GB 25 Yawn. Just not a fun player to invest in, and Green Bay looks likely to move on at the earliest opportunity. Another cardio guy.
    72 Dont’e Thornton LVR 22 Good early camp buzz on this interesting, raw rookie athlete. Potential to be absolutely nothing, but also a decent breakout candidate.
    73 Alec Pierce IND 25 Boom/bust deep threat who had a sneakily solid 2024 despite the quarterback turmoil. Interested to see what his next act is post-Colts, because he’s shown real flashes but this room is way too crowded.
    74 Josh Palmer BUF 25 Bills added him to their deep mix of pass catchers in free agency, and he could be a guy for a few years if it clicks right away for him. Has never been consistent as a fantasy producer.
    75 Quentin Johnston LAC 24 Post, post-hype guy who could finally put it together in LA, but needs that play-to-play consistency that he’s become a meme for not having.
    76 Jalen Royals KC 22 The latest Mecole Hardman or Skyy Moore attempt for the Chiefs, Royals is an intriguing wild card who seems unlikely to transcend the mid-round Chiefs WR stereotype.
    77 Elic Ayomanor TEN 22 Interesting college player who lands in a wide open situation, but also got disappointing draft capital after a rough pre-draft process. He’s a great stash for 2025.
    78 Roman Wilson PIT 24 Well-liked as a rookie until he got hurt and never played, now walks into some open WR opportunity, but might just be a total bust.
    79 Kayshon Boutte NE 23 Surprisingly productive after he put his off-the-field issues behind him, he got a ton of competition added but needs to be respected somewhat as a key incumbent.
    80 Tory Horton SEA 22 Didn’t get good draft capital after an injury-riddled final college season, but joins a Seattle team with a 32-year-old WR2 and Marquez Valdes-Scantling as the WR3. Another great stash candidate.
