As the 2025 preseason approaches, excitement builds within the football community, even with the Hall of Fame Game featuring players unlikely to be favored in regular season rosters. The anticipated matchup between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers sets the stage for the upcoming season, while fantasy football preparation shifts into high gear. Fantasy managers are now actively researching player rankings to strategize their draft approach, comparing expert evaluations with average draft positions (ADP) to identify value picks, potential sleepers, and overvalued players.

This comprehensive guide offers a meticulous breakdown of the top 100 players in both PPR (points per reception) and standard scoring leagues, along with position-specific insights. While the rankings offer a foundational understanding of player potential, fantasy managers are encouraged to adopt a flexible draft strategy. Rigid approaches, such as strictly following predetermined rankings, can lead to missed opportunities and may hinder overall team performance. Instead, discerning the flow of the draft, particularly at crucial moments—such as when multiple managers gravitate toward a particular position—can yield valuable returns later in the draft.

In the realm of quarterback rankings, the depth of talent means managers can afford to be patient, as viable starters can often be found in the middle to late rounds of a draft. Players like Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys—who had a challenging previous season due to injury—represent potential value, despite their current ADP positioning. In contrast, selections like Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, who is pegged as the top quarterback, may not always offer the return on investment expected from a high draft pick. As the fantasy landscape continues to evolve, managers must remain keenly aware of statistical trends and team dynamics in both PPR and standard scoring formats.
