2025 Fantasy Football PPR Rankings — Start, Sit WR Week 1

Published:

By: Zach Thompson

Week 1 of the NFL season is one of the most exciting times of the year! All 32 NFL teams are undefeated coming into the week, and all your fantasy football teams have yet to take an L. Let’s work to keep it that way! This week and every week this season, I’ll be breaking out my top 25 WR rankings each Monday.

Every week, these rankings come out on Monday, so there’s some level of uncertainty based on injuries, lineup changes and other factors. This week takes it to a whole new level, though, since we have so many new variables in place with new quarterbacks, new receiving corps, some key pieces in new places, and a whole new crop of exciting new rookie receivers who are here to bake an early splash.

Stay tuned to DK Network throughout the rest of the week for any coverage of late-breaking news or injuries that will impact these rankings, but with what we know coming into the week, here are my top 25 WR rankings for Week 1:
