Updated Fantasy Rest of Season Rankings 2025: PPR Top 200 Players ROS

The 2025 NFL season has gotten off to a wild start, per usual.

Predictions from the offseason fall apart in a matter of weeks. We aren't even at the bye weeks, and fantasy football managers have had to alter their lineups due to injuries. 

No injury is more notable than Joe Burrow being out for the majority of the season. This has absolutely tanked the value of Ja'Marr Chase and Chase Brown, two highly sought-after guys in August. 

These fantasy football ROS rankings will provide a roadmap for the rest of the season. It takes into account all the injuries, breakouts, and slumps players are going through. 

Use this top 200 players list to guide your decision-making in trades, adds, and drops during your push to the fantasy playoffs.

ROS Rankings 2025: Fantasy position notes

QB ROS Rankings

• Lamar Jackson was averaging 3.1 more fantasy points per game than Josh Allen; but with the missed time, he drops to QB9.  
• Daniel Jones is currently the QB8 overall on the season, which is one of the most surprising stories in recent years. He's come back down to earth, and the rankings reflect that. 
• Drake Maye has the 8th-easiest remaining strength of schedule. Combine that with the outstanding rushing ability, and you have a QB6 or better. 
• Josh Allen is averaging just 0.5 more fantasy points per game than Patrick Mahomes through 5 weeks. 
• Joe Burrow's status for the season is in doubt. He may return, in which case he'd probably finish somewhere on these rankings, but for now, I left him off.

RB ROS Rankings

• If CMC stays healthy, he is by far and away the RB1 in fantasy. The workload is absurd, and the production has been great. 
• I still have Ashton Jeanty as the highest rookie RB, despite preferring Quinshon Judkins. 
• With no Braelon Allen for a while, RB14 feels like a floor for Breece Hall. Hall has scored 16 or more in all 3 games that Justin Fields has finished.
• Chase Brown being at RB18 is generous; he and the Bengals are not in a good spot. Brown will need to get more involved in the passing game under Joe Flacco to even hit RB18.
• Despite the slow start, I have TreVeyon Henderson ahead of Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson will continue to increase his role, and Stevenson is helping that cause with the fumbling issue. 

WR ROS Rankings

• Rashee Rice is my WR15, which may seem quite high for some. This Chiefs offense is in dire need of a WR1; Rice will plug right back into his role and be a league winner. 
• Ja'Marr Chase being at WR7 might be the most heartbreaking rank on this list. Many drafted him at the 1.01 and for a good reason, but it might be time to sell while you can get a good package back. 
• Tetairoa McMillan will be a WR10 or better. The volume is there, and McMillan looks fantastic; we just need the production to come through. 
• George Pickens is going to finish higher than people think now that CeeDee Lamb will miss time. Pickens is third in red-zone targets through the first 3 weeks. 
• Chris Olave is grossly underrated for fantasy football. Through 3 weeks, he leads the NFL in targets. 

TE ROS Rankings

• Brock Bowers is going to be fine. Do not trade him away; he's still clearly banged up. However, Bowers finishing as the TE4 at the end of the season would not pay back that draft cost. 
• Jake Ferguson has been targeted 48 times through 5 weeks. This is the 4th most among any NFL player.  He needs to start getting the attention he deserves when Dak Prescott is his QB. 
• Travis Kelce is TE10 in these rankings. This continues a streak that goes all the way back to 2013, where rookie Kelce wasn't a top 10 fantasy TE the only time in his career. 

D/ST & K ROS Rankings

Not much should change in how you address these two positions. I've been consistent with the advice: stream your defenses and kickers on a week-to-week basis. 

It does not matter if you have the best defense in football; if the Denver Broncos play the Bills, you need to start another defensive unit. 

I'll concede a bit. I would play Brandon Aubrey every week. Chances are, if you have him, you drafted him way too early. But truly, he is the only exception. 

For defenses, target bad offenses and young quarterbacks. For kickers, always look for who is playing indoors; this completely negates any weather factors. 

How fantasy players should use ROS rankings

The best way to make this tool helpful for you is by creating a general plan for it. Let this be your map for players to target or players to get rid of. 

With bye weeks approaching, the less notable players become even more important. Finding players who are available during one of your starters' bye weeks and seeing who ranks higher. 

Things, of course, change; we've seen plenty of that through just 3 weeks. Injuries happen, and when it's to the QB, the skill players suffer when it comes to fantasy. 

It's important to adjust to what has transpired; this ranking hopefully lays out expectations for players for the rest of your fantasy season.
