Fantasy Football 2025 Positional Rankings Printable Cheat Sheet and Top ADP Values

The wait for Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is down to...well, just a week.

Soon, box scores will count for real and start to separate the contenders from pretenders in both the real-life football world and its fantasy variety.

If you're participating in a fantasy league, then, you may only have a few days or perhaps mere hours left until you're assembling the roster you'll carry into the campaign. You still have a tiny bit of time to finalize your research, but only if it's conducted at cram-session speeds.

So, let's get to cramming with cheat sheet-style positional rankings for the season and a spotlight on two of our favorite fantasy values by average draft position (ADP).

Nick Chubb, RB, Houston Texans (ADP: 144, RB43)

What if I told you that the starting running back from an offense that ranked in the upper-half of rushing yards last season was being drafted behind more than 40 players at the position? Impossible, right?

Well, no, actually. With Joe Mixon sidelined for at least the first four games by an ankle injury that kept him out of the Texans' offseason program, veteran Nick Chubb suddenly has a starting spot staring him in the face. And this isn't necessarily just an early-season thing, either. When pressed about the possibility of Mixon missing the entire season, Texans general manager Nick Caserio was noncommittal with his response.

"We'll see. We'll take it one day at a time," Caserio told reporters. "We'll evaluate those players after four weeks and see where they are in their progression and then make a determination."

The opportunity in front of Chubb is enormous—far too great to ignore at anything near his current draft cost. And, yes, that's true even with lingering questions about his effectiveness. Injuries limited the 29-year-old to just 10 games over the past two seasons combined, and he looked like a shell of his former self in 2024. That said, he was a card-carrying member of fantasy's elite class as recently as 2022 (1,764 scrimmage yards and 13 scores). You'd still be drafting him for the sheer volume potential, but you'd be doing so while knowing he'd come attached to plenty of upside, too.

Keon Coleman, WR, Buffalo Bills (ADP:117, WR49)

The Buffalo Bills saw an uneven return on their 2024 draft investment in Keon Coleman (the No. 33 pick). He failed to find much volume over his 13 outings (29 catches on 57 targets for 556 yards and four scores), but he did showcase his big-play ability with huge marks in yards per catch (19.2) and yards per target (9.8).

His natural talent is obvious. He is a big receiver (6'4", 215 lbs) who leverages his size well and has the hand skills to consistently come down with contested catches. He could become a red-zone favorite of Josh Allen (maybe the best quarterback in football), if not the top receiver outright in Buffalo.

"The league better get ready (for Coleman)," Bills tackle Dion Dawkins told reporters. "... This is Keon's time, and you'll see it."

Coleman's outlooks is, admittedly, murky, but at this draft cost, managers are absorbing very little risk and sacrificing next-to-nothing for what could be a substantial reward. He is a legitimate breakout candidate, only minus the ADP inflation typically associated with that role.
