The 2024 fantasy football season is now in the rearview mirror, so … what’s next? Well, if you’ve been playing this great hobby as long as I have, you know there’s never an offseason! In fact, I’ve already started to construct my fantasy player rankings for the 2025 campaign!

At the wide receiver position, we saw serious positive movement from a number of players who weren’t expected to become fantasy assets. Brian Thomas Jr. become a top-five player at the position, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged into a highly-productive weekly fantasy starter with the Seahawks. Malik Nabers produced a top-10 finish as a rookie, and we saw Jerry Jeudy go from a fantasy afterthought and into a top-12 fantasy wide receiver.

On the flip side, fans were disappointed by a number of receivers, none more than Tyreek Hill and Marvin Harrison Jr. Both were drafted as top-10 wide receivers based on ADP data, and neither finished in the top 15 at the position. Others, such as Chris Olave, Cooper Kupp, Jaylen Waddle, Deebo Samuel Sr. and DK Metcalf, didn’t meet expectations.

The upcoming offseason promises plenty of roster changes, which could include Chris Godwin, Tee Higgins, Stefon Diggs and Keenan Allen (among others) potentially switching teams as free agents. Also, young wideouts coming out of college, none more prominent than Colorado’s Travis Hunter, could end up breaking into the top 20 at the position. But for now, here’s my way-too-early look at the fantasy wide receiver position for next season.
