The NFL regular season may be over, but it's never too early to start preparing for 2025 fantasy football drafts. Fantasy managers are gearing up for next season and are already drafting best ball teams for 2025. At RotoBaller HQ, we are here to help you get a jump start on best ball with our NFL team's early 2025 fantasy football best ball rankings for the top 325 fantasy football players (before the 2025 NFL Draft). Use these early best ball rankings for Underdog, DraftKings, NFFC, FanDuel and more.
Be sure to check out all of our fantasy football best ball articles. And if you're looking for even more of an edge, check out our Best Ball Draft Kit and Tools including the best ball live draft assistant, best ball mock draft simulator, and best ball draft cheat sheets -- all part of the Best Ball Team Sync platform.
Two of RotoBaller's lead fantasy football analysts -- Phil Clark and Nick Mariano -- have put together their consensus staff rankings, which will be updated regularly through the start of the 2025 fantasy football season. Let's see where Chase Brown, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison Jr., Tyrone Tracy Jr., Tony Pollard, and Rico Dowdle rank early on.

2025 Best Ball Rankings for Fantasy Football
For anyone who isn't very familiar with fantasy football best ball leagues, they are essentially draft-only leagues with no moves during the season. Once a best ball draft is completed, nothing else happens -- no setting weekly lineups, no trading, no waiver wire moves.
Every week of the season, the best combo of fantasy players on your team is automatically calculated and used to determine the highest possible scoring outcome. Best ball drafts always start earlier than regular drafts, and they are already in high gear!
Be sure also to check out our 2025 fantasy football rankings dashboard. It's already loaded up with tons of other great rankings. In case you missed it, you can also see our early Dynasty League rankings, and 2025 NFL Rookie rankings (coming soon). Bookmark that page, and prepare for all of your drafts.
