Chase gets the nod as the top dog as Joe Burrow is a known commodity, and is coming off of a triple-crown season. Lamb and Nabers both have WR1 overall in their range of outcomes, but the order of the top four should go in some combination of Chase and Jefferson, followed by Lamb or Nabers.<\/p>\n<h3>Elite Wide Receivers<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brian Thomas Jr.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Puka Nacua<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nico Collins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With both points now and a young age to keep their value high, each of these players is extremely valuable. We have yet to see a big <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/tag\/brian-thomas-jr\/\" target=\"_self\">Brian Thomas<\/a> stretch with Trevor Lawrence healthy, but his breakout with Mac Jones was good enough to bet on his talent.<\/p>\n<h3>Wide Receiver Ones or Young Wide Receiver Twos<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A.J. Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/id2oOVoCYFc?si=Xrxb2EeOKEWHawHT\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Ladd McConkey<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Drake London<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Garrett Wilson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marvin Harrison Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tetairoa McMillan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some people are already worried about A.J. Brown&#8217;s age. Happily add him to your dynasty roster and enjoy the points for three more years, and let him retire on your squads. Most of these receivers separate at will, but London and McMillan bring a size and wingspan that will remind fans of old school X&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<h3>Exciting Youngsters and Solid Veterans<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Tee Higgins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Xavier Worthy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Devonta Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan Addison<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zay Flowers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jameson Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>D.J.

Worthy just had one of the biggest fantasy games in a Super Bowl ever, but a ton of it came in garbage time. Odunze and Moore should have even better seasons now that Caleb Williams has an extra year and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/01\/21\/ben-johnson-to-the-bears-a-deep-dive\/\" target=\"_self\">Ben Johnson<\/a> is there, but that&#8217;s a projection.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/06\/07\/fantasy-football-rookie-quarterbacks-impact\/\" target=\"_self\">Read More: Impact of Rookie Quarterbacks on their Pass Catchers for Fantasy Football<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Injury Mystery Boxes<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Rashee Rice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Olave<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brandon Aiyuk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is Rice going to return from his injury and looming suspension the same player?

But when his head&#8217;s on straight, he&#8217;s one of the most fun receivers in the league. Evans didn&#8217;t show any signs of slowing down, and Tyreek Hill may have finally hit the wall but he still has top three upside for 2025 and 2026. If <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/tag\/travis-hunter\/\" target=\"_self\">Travis Hunter<\/a> was only a wide receiver, he&#8217;d probably find himself two or three tiers higher in these 2025 dynasty wide receiver rankings.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2025 Dynasty Wide Receiver Rankings \u2013 Rookies, Veterans &amp; Tier Breakdowns\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/59YoovhRZSQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>A Breakout Away or Aging Wide Receiver Twos and Threes<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jalen McMillan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Godwin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooper Kupp<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Pittman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jerry Jeudy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/01\/29\/ricky-pearsall-dynasty-outlook-for-young-49ers-receiver\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Ricky Pearsall<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Courtland Sutton<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rasheed Shaheed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Deebo Samuel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Darnell Mooney<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tre Harris<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Khalil Shakir<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matthew Golden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elic Ayomanor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Calvin Ridley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jakobi Meyers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jauan Jennings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If Godwin comes back and is on the same pace, he&#8217;s an extreme value in the dynasty streets. Pittman and Pearsall were playing through injuries, but are at very different stages in their careers. If Pearsall gets a full offseason of work and Deebo Samuel is actually traded, he&#8217;s due for a breakout. If he doesn&#8217;t breakout, it&#8217;s probably because Jennings has taken that role from him.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Deep Flexes<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Rashod Bateman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Xavier Legette<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Dell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wan&#8217;Dale Robinson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quentin Johnston<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jalen Coker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Keon Coleman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romeo Doubs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marvin Mims<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marquise Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Demario Douglas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cedric Tillman<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Other Names to Watch in 2025 Dynasty Wide Receiver Rankings<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jack Bech<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Christian Kirk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stefon Diggs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Christian Watson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jalen Royals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jayden Higgins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dontayvion Wicks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amari Cooper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Alec Pierce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tez Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Xavier Restrepo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Keenan Allen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Isaiah Bond<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Wilson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jalin Noel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Javon Baker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><a  href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/od0NRpHsblw?si=E_HYq8YAtewyLK16\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch &#8211; 2025 Dynasty Running Back Rankings and Tiers<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: David Reginek-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These 2025 dynasty wide receiver rankings can help you navigate startups, trade offers, or waiver priority in shallower leagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4345,"featured_media":181246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32631],"tags":[9504,34307,6672,32529,6181,32476],"class_list":["post-218542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dynasty","tag-dynasty-fantasy-football","tag-dynasty-rankings","tag-jamarr-chase","tag-jalen-coker","tag-justin-jefferson","tag-travis-hunter"],"modified_by":"Mike Kashuba","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218542"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":218548,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218542\/revisions\/218548"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/181246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
