Quarterback UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Starting quarterbacks are still not confirmed by all teams, with locked-in starters having their perceived Week 1 job security baked into the rankings. Here's how the quarterback landscape shapes up for Week 1:
| Rank | Player Name | Team |
| 1 | Luis Perez | Arlington Renegades |
| 2 | Jordan Ta'amu | DC Defenders |
| 3 | Alex McGough | Birmingham Stallions |
| 4 | Kellen Mond | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 5 | Nolan Henderson | Houston Roughnecks |
| 6 | Max Duggan | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 7 | Troy Williams | Memphis Showboats |
| 8 | Matt Corral | Birmingham Stallions |
| 9 | Anthony Brown | Houston Roughnecks |
| 10 | Danny Etling | Michigan Panthers |
| 11 | Manny Wilkins | S. Louis Battlehawks |
| 12 | Spencer Sanders | DC Defenders |
Going into Week 1, Luiz Perez is at the top of the quarterback's rankings list. The spring football veteran is back for another year after posting his best season statistics-wise in 2024. The 30-year-old led the UFL with 2,309 passing yards, 18 passing touchdowns, 225 completions, and 336 passing attempts. Tight end Sal Canella and wide receiver Tyler Vaughns are back to help bolster the Renegade offense as they combined for 98 catches, 998 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns last season.
Birmingham's head coach, Skip Holtz, once again leads the top franchise in the UFL for the 2025 campaign. He will be reunited with the 2023 USFL MVP and two-time USFL champion quarterback Alex McGough, who previously played under him for two seasons (2022-23). McGough could thrive again under Holtz, as most of the Stallions' offensive starters are returning from last season.
San Antonio won the XFL Conference title last season but struggled to find a consistent starting quarterback due to injuries. Brahmas head coach Wade Phillips named former Texas A&M star Kellen Mond as their starting QB ahead of Week 1 against Arlington. Mond may provide high-end production for an offense that struggled with consistency one season ago.

Running Back UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
As Week 1 draws near, we're seeing the finalization of rosters across the league. It's always a challenge in fantasy football to predict which running backs will dominate in carries and rushing yardage, especially with limited information early on. However, now that rosters are essentially locked in, we officially know the contenders who will be vying for playing time on a weekly basis. As the season kicks off, the initial two weeks will be pivotal in establishing who could be the top backs in the league.
| Rank | Player Name | Team |
| 1 | Jacob Saylors | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 2 | Abram Smith | DC Defenders |
| 3 | John Lovett | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 4 | Matthew Colburn III | Michigan Panthers |
| 5 | Ricky Person Jr. | Birmingham Stallions |
| 6 | Kirk Merritt | Houston Roughnecks |
| 7 | De'Veon Smith | Arlington Renegades |
| 8 | Dae Dae Hunter | Arlington Renegades |
| 9 | Deneric Prince | Memphis Showboats |
| 10 | Anthony McFarland Jr. | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 11 | Nate McCrary | Michigan Panthers |
| 12 | C.J Marable | Birmingham Stallions |
| 13 | Deon Jackson | DC Defenders |
| 14 | ZaQuandre White | Houston Roughnecks |
| 15 | Jacob Kibodi | Memphis Showboats |
The Battlehawks have the luxury of one of the top running backs returning in Jacob Saylors. Saylors rushed for 461 yards (4.9 yards per carry) last season and should be reckoned with again under head coach Anthony Becht's NFL-like offense.
DC Defenders' Abram Smith is back in action after missing all of last season with a torn ACL. The 26-year-old led the XFL in rushing in 2023 and should receive plenty of touches after DC struggled to find a consistent run game in 2024.
Birmingham's Ricky Person Jr. is in line to have another strong season for the defending champs. He became a key ingredient in Skip Holtz's offense, leading the UFL with six rushing touchdowns last season.
Wide Receiver UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Week 1 will tell us much about how quarterback-receiver relationships look early on. Before seeing these reports in action, here's how the wide receiver landscape stacks up heading into the opening weekend of the UFL season:
| Rank | Player Name | Team |
| 1 | Jontre Kirklin | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 2 | Hakeem Butler | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 3 | Tyler Vaughns | Arlington Renegades |
| 4 | Justin Hall | Houston Roughnecks |
| 5 | Daewood Davis | Memphis Showboats |
| 6 | Amari Rodgers | Birmingham Stallions |
| 7 | Deon Cain | Birmingham Stallions |
| 8 | Marcus Simms | Michigan Panthers |
| 9 | Ty Scott | DC Defenders |
| 10 | Marquez Stevenson | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 11 | JaVonta Payton | Arlington Renegades |
| 12 | Siaosi Mariner | Michigan Panthers |
| 13 | Marlon Williams | Birmingham Stallions |
| 14 | Chris Rowland | DC Defenders |
| 15 | Jahcour Pearson | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 16 | Jonathan Adams | Memphis Showboats |
| 17 | Keke Chism | Houston Roughnecks |
| 18 | Denzel Mims | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 19 | Justin Smith | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 20 | T.J. Vasher | Houston Roughnecks |
| 21 | Isaiah Winstead | Arlington Renegades |
| 22 | Samson Nacua | Michigan Panthers |
| 23 | Gary Jennings | St. Louis Battlehawks |
| 24 | Jaydon Mickens | DC Defenders |
| 25 | Davion Davis | Birmingham Stallions |
| 26 | Isiah Hennie | Memphis Showboats |
| 27 | Devin Ross | Michigan Panthers |
Jontre Kirklin shared the receptions title last season with 56 total catches. 2025 should be no different, with the Brahmas continuing to focus on being a pass-heavy offense under Mond at quarterback.
Battlehawks wideout Hakeem Butler should have another elite season after he led the UFL in receiving yards with 652 during last year's campaign. Standing at 6-foot-6, the 28-year-old has great success, consistently winning contested catch battles.

Wideout Tyler Vaughns and the Renegades enjoyed a late-season run in 2024. Vaughn finished with 502 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns, and he could easily repeat that success playing alongside veteran QB Perez for another year.
Tight End UFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Like in NFL fantasy football, there will likely be a select few tight ends that will excel during the season. Identifying those guys early in the season could give fantasy managers and DFSers a real edge over the competition. It's worth noting that some UFL teams could have major shakeups early on at that position as they try and find what works for their offense.
| Rank | Player Name | Team |
| 1 | Jace Sternberger | Birmingham Stallions |
| 2 | Sal Cannella | Arlington Renegades |
| 3 | Alize Mack | San Antonio Brahmas |
| 4 | Briley Moore | DC Defenders |
| 5 | Cole Hikutini | Michigan Panthers |
| 6 | Jake Sutherland | S.t Louis Battlehawks |
| 7 | Jay Jay Wilson | Memphis Showboats |
| 8 | Josh Pederson | Houston Roughnecks |
| 9 | Jordan Thomas | Birmingham Stallions |
| 10 | Gunnar Oakes | Michigan Panthers |
Sal Cannella thrives in spring football and should once again be one of the top tight ends in the league. Cannella will likely be one of the top beneficiaries of the Renegades' pass-heavy offense. The 28-year-old finished in the top 5 in targets and receiving yards last season.
Jace Sternberger, a major component in the Stallion's high-powered offense last season, is back for another year. Sternberger showed no signs of slowing down in 2024, leading Birmingham in receiving years and touchdowns.
Alize Mack will have a heavy workload this season in San Antonio. He is expected to be the main tight end in a pass-heavy offensive attack.
