Dynasty Rankings: WR to Fade in 2025

With NFL free agency fading from focus, fantasy football enthusiasts are now fixated on the upcoming NFL Draft in April. Dynasty League trades are buzzing at the Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC) as managers vie for the top rookie skill-position talents. Now is the time to move on from Dynasty Rankings: WR to Fade in 2025.
While snagging a premier rookie wide receiver remains a priority, three veteran wideouts with inflated ADP rankings are worth steering clear of in 2025 drafts.

Tyreek Hill (WR) Miami Dolphins

Hill epitomizes the trap of drafting a big name in the early rounds purely for reputation. The 31-year-old, who once reeled in 119 catches and surpassed 1,700 yards in back-to-back seasons, saw his output plummet last year. He finished with just 959 receiving yards—30th among wide receivers—and averaged a modest 12.8 PPR points per game, landing as the WR18 overall in 2024 despite being a top-five pick in most redraft leagues.
The uncertainty surrounding quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s health only amplifies the risk in Miami’s passing attack. Hill’s ADP of WR10 in early rankings feels like a steep overpay for a player coming off a six-touchdown season. I’d rather target receivers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ladd McConkey, or Terry McLaurin, who sit behind Hill in ADP but offer better value…

Late-Round Sleeper WR to Target

Late-Round Sleeper WR to Target with League-Winning Potential

In FFWC World Championship Drafts, elite wide receivers dominate the first round due to the 3-WR and double-flex roster demand. In years past, fantasy managers went after workhorse running backs who received 15-20 carries per game and were featured in the passing game.

However, due to NFL teams transitioning to RBBC, drafting a roster stacked with wideout depth has become the predominant fantasy football roster construction philosophy.

 

Finding Late-Round WR Gems

 

In 2023, 12 WRs eclipsed 100 catches, while 18 WRs surpassed 1,100 receiving yards.

Last season wide receivers Nico Collins, Rashee Rice, Tank Dell, Puka Nacua, and Jayden Reed were all drafted in the double-digit rounds of drafts.

Let that sink in.

ALL of those players are coming off the board before the end of the 5th Round this year!

Targeting a late-round WR who can break out and outperform their ADP can lead to fantasy football glory. While Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, Ladd McConkey, and Rome Odunze demand high draft capital – ONE DEEP Sleeper with an ADP of 194.89 – is virtually free at the end of drafts!

Who is that player!?…

Week 17 DFS: Wide Receiver Report

Amari Cooper (11/265/2) delivered a difference-maker in the fantasy postseason for the first time in his NFL career, ranking first in wide receiver scoring (51.50) in Week 16. The change to Mason Rudolph at quarterback gave George Pickens (4/195/2) the best outcome in his short NFL career. Puka Nacua (9/1801) was the third-ranked wideout for the week. Twelve wide receivers scored between 20.00 and 29.00 fantasy points. Here are the top five players by scoring average after 16 weeks:

  • Tyreek Hill (22.87)
  • CeeDee Lamb (21.90)
  • Amon-Ra St. Brown (18.83)
  • A.J. Brown (18.76)
  • Keenan Allen (18.69)

Also, before we get into the Week 17 DFS: Wide Receiver Report, check out the QB Report and RB Report.

Top-Tier Options

Justin Jefferson, MIN (DK – $8,800/FD – $9,200)

Over the past two weeks, with Nick Mullens starting at quarterback, Jefferson averaged 22.25 fantasy points in DraftKings scoring with one edge game (6/141/1). The Vikings looked his way 20 times while attempting 70 passes. He posted four stud games (9/150, 11/159, 7/149/1, and 6/85/2) to start the season (28.33 FPPG). In 2022, Jefferson posted a dominating game (9/184/2) at home vs. the Packers but an empty showing (1/15) on the road.

Green Bay drifted to 15th in wide receiver defense (218/2,522/13 on 322 targets). The only offense to solve their pass coverage vs. wideouts was the Chargers (32/415/2). Their defense did show regression in points allowed over the past two matchups (27 and 30 points), leading to 34 catches for 398 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets (CIN and DET). CB Jaire Alexander has been suspended for this game, putting the Vikings’ wideouts in a better position for success.

Jefferson does get a nick in his profile in Week 17, with Jaren Hall starting for the Vikings. He’s been on the field for 22 plays in his rookie season, leading to eight completions on 10 passing attempts for 101 yards. Over his last two seasons at BYU, Hall gained 6,409 yards with 57 touchdowns and 11 interceptions over 22 games. He will move the chains with his legs (148/655/6). 

Tyreek Hill, MIA (DK – $9,300/FD – $9,800)

After missing Week 16, the Dolphins had Hill on the field for 85% of the snaps against Dallas. He caught…
