Matthew Berry's updated positional rankings for 2025 fantasy football season

7 hours ago 1

Here are my expanded and updated 2025 positional rankings for PPR leagues.

While these rankings are intended for full PPR leagues, a switch to half PPR or standard scoring would not result in many major changes. These rankings are also intended to be used primarily for managed re-draft leagues. If you’re playing best ball, they can still serve as a good reference, but keep in mind that players with extremely high single week upside, as well as rookies, would move up significantly in those formats.

NFC Championship-Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles

Ja’Marr Chase, Saquon Barkley, and Justin Jefferson headline Matthew Berry’s updated and expanded rankings.

Remember, it’s only June, so these rankings are still extremely fluid. I’ll continue to adjust as news comes out, so definitely keep checking back in for the latest updates. And as we get closer to fantasy draft season, I will expand these positional rankings as well as my overall big board. In the meantime, let me know who you think I’m either too low or too high on for this upcoming season!

Purdy ‘more valuable’ to SF than any other team?

For Matthew Berry, Brock Purdy’s five-year extension with the 49ers shows how he is “more valuable” to San Francisco than any other team, but how much better is he than a potential alternative?
