2025 Fantasy Football Rankings (Preseason Rankings)

Russell Gage Has Some Sleeper Appeal Against Philadelphia

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage will get a chance to show what he can do with a bigger role in the offense in a favorable matchup against the Eagles in Week 1. Gage sneakily compiled 110 targets last season, hauling in 72 catches for 786 yards and four touchdowns, even as the third option […]


Tre'Quan Smith Not A Starting Option Against Packers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not a starting-caliber fantasy option for the Week 1 matchup against Green Bay. Smith has been notably dealing with a hamstring injury for nearly all of the preseason and didn't appear in the two preseason contests but he enters Week 1 off the injury report. The WR […]


Calvin Ridley An Elite Play Against Eagles

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley gets a good matchup against the Eagles to kick start his 2021 campaign. Ridley operated as a target hog for the Falcons in 2020, averaging 9.5 targets, 6.0 receptions, and 91.6 receiving yards per game, eclipsing the 100-yard mark eight times. The Alabama product is a candidate to lead […]


Marquez Callaway Best Left On Bench In Week 1

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is better left on the bench in Week 1's clash against the Packers. Callaway enters 2021 as a top receiving option for new QB Jameis Winston. The two displayed great chemistry in the second week of the preseason when Callaway posted five receptions for 104 yards and two […]

Chris Carson Could Be Held In Check In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson is looking to start his 2021 season off on a high note, but that's not going to be the easiest task against a stout Indianapolis Colts defense. Over the last three seasons in games against top-16 run defenses, Carson has averaged four fewer fantasy points per game than against […]


Alvin Kamara A Strong RB1 Against Green Bay

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 in Week 1. Kamara posted a career-high 932 rushing yards and 16 rush touchdowns in 2020 along with 83 receptions for 756 yards and five scores on 107 targets. The Saints enter 2021 with a new QB in Jameis Winston and a lack of […]


Russell Wilson Has A Tough Matchup In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is coming off of a season in which he finished as the QB6, and he'll be looking for another QB1 performance in 2021. Unfortunately, things won't be as easy as he would like out of the gates with a road matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts ranked 10th last […]


Mike Davis A Volume-Based RB2 In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis will take on the Eagles in his first start with his new club in Week 1. Davis made a name for himself in fantasy circles last season for the Panthers, totaling 1,015 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 224 touches as the starter sans Christian McCaffrey, good for an […]


Jameis Winston Draws Tough Matchup In Week 1

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston draws a tough matchup from the get-go against the Packers in Week 1 in Jacksonville. Winston won the starting QB job over Taysom Hill this preseason and will now aim to prove he's the right fit for the Saints for the coming years. The QB last started with the […]


Matt Ryan A Solid QB2 Against Eagles

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan draws a middle-of-the-road matchup against the Eagles in Week 1. The veteran quarterback will enter a campaign without All-Pro Julio Jones as one of his pass-catchers for the first time since the 2010 season, though he still has some capable weapons at his disposal, such as breakout star Calvin Ridley, […]


Matt Manning Exits Start With Knee Contusion

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (knee) exited his start on Wednesday with a left knee contusion, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Manning was hit in the knee by a line drive off the bat of Colin Moran in the third inning, and was seen walking gingerly into the dugout at […]


Chris Bassitt Will Throw On Flat Ground Thursday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt (head) is scheduled to throw on flat ground on Thursday, according to Shayna Rubin of the Mercury News. Bassitt underwent surgery two weeks ago for facial fractures he suffered after being hit by a line drive in his last outing against the White Sox. Rubin adds that if all […]


Rhamondre Stevenson Not On The Injury Report

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thumb) is not on the team's official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins despite recently suffering a dislocated thumb during practice last week. As a result, the fourth-round pick should be active for his first NFL game this Sunday. The 23-year-old rookie is […]


Shohei Ohtani Will Make Next Start On Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will make his next start on the mound on Friday in the series opener with the Astros, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Ohtani's latest pitching performance came against the Rangers last Friday, where he earned the win by allowing two runs on seven […]


Mike Yastrzemski Day-To-Day With Ankle Injury

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (ankle) is day to day with an ankle contusion, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Yastrzemski exited Wednesday's game in the eighth inning after going 0-for-2 with a walk against the Rockies. He's been hitting well recently, as he's now slashing .245/.302/.469 with three homers, seven RBI and seven […]


Maxx Williams Ready For Season-Opener

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams (illness) is not listed on the team's official injury report ahead of their Week 1 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. Williams missed the team's second preseason game with a non-COVID-19 illness, and the team had their final preseason game postponed due to Hurricane Ida in New Orleans. The seventh-year […]


Darnell Mooney Dealing With Back Injury

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (back) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to a back injury. Mooney was able to escape training camp and the preseason without any injuries, but he's nursing a back injury that doesn't sound too serious ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. As […]


Mecole Hardman Limited With Oblique Ailment

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (oblique) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Hardman managed to avoid injuries in training camp and the preseason and even played in a full 16 games in his first two NFL seasons, so it would be a shame if he weren't available for the season-opener […]


Adam Trautman Is Healthy For Week 1

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman (ankle) is not listed on the official injury report ahead of the season-opener in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. A popular breakout candidate heading into training camp, Trautman had a very small role in the preseason opener and then left on a cart with a left […]


Tre'Quan Smith No Longer On Injury Report

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not listed on the team's official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. Smith was removed from a training camp practice on Aug. 3 with an undisclosed issue and missed two weeks. He was able to return on Aug. 17, but he did […]


Blake Martinez Will Be Ready For Week 1

New York Giants linebacker Blake Martinez isn't on the team's official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Denver Broncos after he spent time on the league's COVID-19 list at the start of training camp. Martinez has been back at practice for several weeks and should be 100 percent ready to begin his second […]


Alexander Mattison Practices In Full

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ribs) took part in a full practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mattison was injured in the team's second preseason game and hadn't done much since then, so this is a good sign of his availability this weekend. He'll once again enter the year […]


Shi Smith Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Shi Smith (shoulder) logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday's injury report. Smith was able to work on a stationary bike to the side as he's still recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered during the team's final preseason game. The rookie wideout figures to check in as the fourth wideout on the […]


Johnny Cueto Won't Throw For 10 More Days

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) is not expected to resume throwing for at least 10 more days, manager Gabe Kapler told reporters on Wednesday. Kapler said he isn't ruling out a regular-season return for the 35-year-old right-hander, who was placed on the 10-day injured list last week with elbow soreness. However, Cueto […]


Austin Ekeler Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) officially missed practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. Instead, Ekeler worked off to the side with trainers. Ekeler is an RB1, especially in PPR leagues, but many fantasy managers want nothing to do with him after he missed six games in 2020 in his first season […]


Kyle Schwarber Out Of Wednesday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays. Schwarber and fellow left-handed batter Alex Verdugo will be on the bench for the series finale against the Rays as the Red Sox face off against southpaw Shane McClanahan and try to snap a three-game losing skid. Fantasy managers […]


Michael Carter, Denzel Mims Good To Go

New York Jets rookie running back Michael Carter and wide receiver Denzel Mims (hip) aren't listed on the official injury report ahead of Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Carter, a fourth-round pick, missed some training camp practices with an undisclosed injury and finished on a low note in the preseason after some early hype. […]


Nelson Agholor Limited In Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday ahead of the team's Week 1 game against the Miami Dolphins. While this doesn't mean that Agholor will miss the season-opener this weekend, his status the rest of the week is worth monitoring. After a solid year with […]


Zach Eflin Scheduled For Knee Surgery This Week

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin (knee) has been placed on the 60-day injured list and is scheduled to have surgery on Friday to replace his right patellar tendon, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reported on Wednesday. Eflin hasn't taken the mound since mid-July due to setbacks with his injured knee, last going 3 2/3 innings […]
