Way Too Early Top-10 Fantasy Football Picks for 2025: Ja’Marr Chase, Saquon Barkley, Justin Jefferson, Bijan Robinson, Puka Nacua and More

The 2024-25 NFL season is now in the books. We are several months from actual games being played again, but there's plenty to discuss during the offseason.

Just a couple days after the Super Bowl, I wanted to take a stab at predicting the top-10 fantasy picks for the 2025-26 season.

I'll be using PPR fantasy numbers when discussing the players and determining the top-10 picks. Let's go!

1. Ja'Marr Chase

There's really several players who I could consider for the No. 1 spot, but Chase is my choice after averaging the most PPR points per game this season.

As long as Chase is in Cincinnati and Joe Burrow is healthy, he's got the chance to be WR1. He could be in store for an even bigger season if Tee Higgins isn't retained.

2. Saquon Barkley

Barkley was the No. 2 fantasy PPR flex guy behind only Chase. He had a season for the record books and helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

Barkley still clearly has plenty in the tank, and that's why I have him still as my No. 2 guy. I've seen him as the top pick on a few sites, but a mid-first rounder on others. I don't think he's the top pick, but he needs to at least be in the conversation.

3. Justin Jefferson

Jefferson averaged 18.7 PPR points per game this season, but is more in my No. 3 slot because he's proven himself year after year.

The Vikings' quarterback situation is up in the air, but I think Jefferson can produce with anybody because coach Kevin O'Connell can turn any QB into at least an average one. He's also in the conversation for the top pick.

4. Jahmyr Gibbs

Gibbs was the No. 3 PPR guy behind Chase and Barkley, which is wild considering he's still splitting the backfield with David Montgomery.

Those two backs should be back in Detroit for next season, and I expect both to continue to thrive, even after the team lost their offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson. If Montgomery were to miss a couple games, like he did this year, Gibbs has the chance to finish as the top PPR player.

5. Bijan Robinson

I was a bit surprised to see Robinson as the No. 4 PPR finisher this season. I didn't think he had a bad season by any means, but he wasn't in the same tier as Chase, Barkley or even Gibbs in most people's books.

Now that the Falcons have their QB situation figured out, we have a better gauge on Robinson's future. He should be the focal point of the Atlanta offense, and continue to be a top-five fantasy option for several more seasons.

6. Puka Nacua

Nacua missed several games this season, but was a top-10 PPR scorer on a per game basis. He might lose his partner Cooper Kupp to a trade this offseason, so it will be interesting to see how that affects Nacua.

Nacua was already the clear No. 1 wideout for the Rams, and now will be force fed the ball every game. He's a bit of a sleeper when talking about who could finish as the top fantasy performer among flex options, but it's definitely doable. I have him sixth because of injury/durability concerns.

7. Amon-Ra St. Brown

St. Brown was the No. 10 PPR guy on a per game basis this season. He took a step back in several stats this season, but scored a career-high 12 times to still be an elite option every week.

I think there's a chance he takes a little step back, but based on his production over the years, I'm most comfortable putting him here.

8. CeeDee Lamb

Despite the Cowboys having a down season, Lamb was still a great weekly fantasy option. He dealt with injuries most of the season and still was a top-15 option.

I think the Dallas offense bounces back this coming season, but do think Lamb should drop to near the end of the first round after how he and the offense looked in 2024-25.

9. Malik Nabers

Nabers just missed out on a top-10 spot on a per game basis for PPR leagues. That's honestly amazing considering how bad the Giants and their offense was.

New York will get a new quarterback this offseason, and it will probably mean Nabers jumps even higher than this pick before the next season kicks off. 

10. Derrick Henry

Henry was fantastic in his first season with Baltimore, finishing as the fifth-best PPR performer on a weekly basis. 

I think Henry was underrated coming into this season, and by the looks of things, he might be again for next season. Even if he isn't rushing for nearly 2,000 yards, 1,500+ yards and double-digit touchdowns will make Henry a great fantasy option again.
