Players To Target in 2025 Fantasy Drafts
Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars
No one who drafts Brian Thomas Jr. would be upset if he repeated his 16.7 fantasy points per game from last year (WR11).
Thomas was incredible. He averaged 2.55 yards per route run (eighth in the NFL) and 2.35 yards per team pass attempt (ninth). This translated to elite fantasy production, especially when it mattered most.
In the fantasy playoffs, Thomas posted 32.5, 28.2, and 23.9 fantasy points, respectively. It’s one of the greatest three-week stretches we’ve ever seen from a wide receiver, and what’s crazy is that Thomas should have been even better.

For starters, Thomas caught passes from Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones. While Lawrence is back as a starter, Liam Coen’s offensive mind should be able to mold Lawrence into a more competent NFL passer.
Second, Thomas essentially lost two games as he played through a brutal chest injury. In Weeks 9 and 10, he combined for 9.4 fantasy points. Remove those two games, and Thomas would have averaged 18.3 fantasy points per game.
Thomas is all kinds of legit and might very well be undervalued, even as a late-first-round selection.
Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers
More sophomore wide receivers! With all the hype surrounding Marvin Harrison Jr., plus the stellar performances of Malik Nabers and BTJ, Ladd McConkey flew under the radar. But he was superb.
Similar to Thomas, McConkey’s 15.1 fantasy ppg doesn’t tell the full story. He wasn’t a full-time player until Week 9 and didn’t hit his stride until Week 11.
From Week 11 through the end of the season, McConkey averaged 18.7 points per game. Not only that, he never scored below 14.3. The worst fantasy managers got from him in the second half of his rookie season was a mid-WR2 performance.
McConkey averaged 2.56 yards per route run, but only had a 24.5% target share. There’s plenty of room for him to improve, and he’s a dark horse to lead the league in receiving.
Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs
Fantasy managers seem conflicted about whether Rashee Rice or Xavier Worthy is the Chiefs’ best fantasy wide receiver, but they shouldn’t be.
Rice opened the season with games of 17.3, 18.5, and 29.1 fantasy points, respectively, and was averaging 9.67 targets per game. Had he not gotten hurt, there’s a real chance Rice would have averaged over 18.0 fantasy ppg, and we’d be talking about him as a 1/2 turn selection in fantasy drafts.
While Rice was on the shelf, Worthy stepped up. It took him a while, but it also took Rice a while as a rookie the year before.
Don’t let Worthy’s menial 11.0 ppg fool you; he became a legitimately fantasy WR1 by the end of his rookie year. Beginning in Week 14, he became an every-down player (to the extent anyone is an every-down receiver on the Chiefs). He played over 80% of the snaps every game the remainder of the season (not counting Week 18). He hadn’t come close to that mark most weeks prior.
In the fantasy playoffs, Worthy posted games of 19.6, 20.5, and 22.9 fantasy points, respectively. In the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl, he posted 22.1 and 35.7 points, respectively, and while those don’t count for fantasy, they do speak to Worthy’s role.
The Chiefs had a lot go wrong at wide receiver last year, and Worthy benefited from being the only real option. Rice and Hollywood Brown were injured, Travis Kelce is clearly amid a decline, and midseason acquisition DeAndre Hopkins primarily acted as a role player.
Of course, Kansas City was manufacturing touches for Worthy. The layup targets he saw that otherwise would have gone to Rice will revert back to the latter.
As long as Rice’s recovery continues to go well (and by all accounts it is), he should essentially resume as the new Kelce. Rice will be the guy getting all those underneath targets that rack up the points in PPR formats.
