Luther Burden - College, NCAA, Draft, Prospects, CFB, Missouri

2025 fantasy football rookie WR rankings: Top Pre-NFL draft rookie wide receiver targets. Tre Harris, Tetairoa McMillan, Emeka Egbuka, Matthew Golden, and more

The 2025 wide receiver draft class isn't viewed as one of the strongest in recent years, but there are always early-round and late-round rookies who make instant fantasy football impacts. Our NFL team has released its early 2025 fantasy football rookie wide receiver rankings before the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Below, you can find out where key pass-catchers like Tetairoa McMillan, Luther Burden, Emeka Egbuka, Isaiah Bond, Tre Harris, and Jalen Royals stand, among other incoming rookie wideouts.

These 2025 rookie rankings are released before the 2025 NFL Draft, so things will change based on the draft results. Continuous tweaks will be made to these rankings for fantasy football rookies all offseason long, so be sure to check back regularly for updates. In addition to this article, you should also be sure to check out our other dynasty rookie rankings and analysis articles, including in-depth coverage of the NFL Draft and various NFL rookie profiles.

Four of our lead fantasy football analysts -- Phil Clark, Jackson Sparks, Andrew Lalama, and Matt Donnelly -- have put together these fantasy football rookie rankings. In addition to these rookie rankings, in our 2025 fantasy football rankings dashboard, you will also find our team's Dynasty League rankings. Bookmark that page, and use it to prepare for all of your 2025 fantasy football dynasty league drafts.

Editor's Note: The FFPC Playoff Challenge #2 is back with a massive $100,000 grand prize and $203,250 total prize pool, paying down to 100th place. Here's the deal: no salary cap, no draft, no pickups, no subs. Choose 8 players, and as NFL teams get knocked out so will your players, so choose your team wisely. The entries will sell out quickly, and registrations will close on Saturday January 17th at 4:30 pm ET . Don't wait - get your team now and end your fantasy football season with a shot at $100,000!
