RotoBaller's early 2025 fantasy football best ball wide receiver rankings. These pre-NFL Draft WR best ball rankings are for Underdog, DraftKings, NFFC, and more.

The 2025 NFL season is several months away, but it's already time for early best ball drafts, and nailing your wide receiver picks will be key to a successful campaign. Wideout production was down overall in 2024, so let's see if next year presents a bounceback campaign. If you're already drafting best ball teams, our NFL team's early 2025 fantasy football best ball wide receiver rankings are here to help. 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 Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., Ladd McConkey, and Tetairoa McMillan stand among all other WR options.

2025 Best Ball Wide Receiver 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. Bookmark that page, and prepare for all of your drafts.
