Terry McLaurin - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

RotoBaller's updated Week 1 fantasy football rankings for 2025. Set your optimal lineups with our fantasy football Week 1 rankings for the top 380 players.

We have passed the halfway point in August, which means the fantasy football season is just around the corner. Whether you have already drafted or want a look at Week 1 before your draft, we have you covered with our updated Week 1 fantasy football rankings for 2025.

Starting the season off with a loss can set you behind, so our rankings will help you set winning lineups right away -- so let's see where key fantasy assets like Joe Mixon, Jaylen Waddle, Aaron Jones, Nick Chubb, Travis Hunter, George Pickens, Terry McLaurin, and more stand for the opening week of the 2025 campaign.

Our PPR fantasy football rankings for Week 1 are assembled by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

Note that quarterbacks, defenses, and kickers are all grouped separately toward the bottom. Each position is ranked separately. This helps to compare running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for FLEX spots (without QB, DEF, and K mixed in).
