Fabs' Latest 2025 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings: Garrett Wilson Up, George Pickens Down

The 2025 NFL offseason has seen a number of major moves that will affect wideouts from a fantasy perspective.

DK Metcalf was the first big mover, as he was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Davante Adams signed with the Los Angeles Rams, and Cooper Kupp went to the Seattle Seahawks. That’s just a few of the wideout transactions that will have a major impact on 2025 fantasy football drafts.

While there are still more moves to be made, including the eventual free-agency landing spots for guys like Keenan Allen and Stefon Diggs, we do have a clearer view of what the wide receiver position will look like for next season … at least heading into the upcoming NFL draft.

While many of the receivers in the top 20 are incumbents, you’ll notice a major move for Garrett Wilson (WR6) with Adams no longer in New York. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR12) has moved up too compared to his rookie ranking, as Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are gone. Puka Nacua is still in the top 10, but he does lose a bit off his ceiling with Adams in Hollywood.

Jauan Jennings was a big riser, as the 49ers traded away Deebo Samuel Sr., and Brandon Aiyuk is coming off a torn ACL. Speaking of Samuel Sr., he comes in at WR37 (flex starter) as a member of the Washington Commanders.

With Metcalf in the Steel City, George Pickens has dropped out of the WR2 conversation and is now more of a flex. Kupp, now in Seattle, comes in at WR39 … I’m not a fan of older, injury-prone wideouts changing teams (and leaving Sean McVay’s system).

Without further ado, here’s a look at my updated 2025 wide receiver rank lists.
