Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings
Luther Burden III, WR, Chicago Bears
The most important thing to know is that Luther Burden III injured his ankle and did not return. At this point, it seems unlikely that he will play next week. Obviously, if we get any sort of negative report by Tuesday night, don't bother.
Before getting hurt, though, Burden looked like the Bears' WR1. He caught six of seven targets for 84 yards.
The matchup isn't great next week against the Packers, but Burden did have four catches for 67 yards in their first meeting. He will absolutely be startable if he can play.
Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants
It wasn't a huge game for Darius Slayton. He only caught four passes for 53 yards. However, he did see 10 targets.
The bad news is the Giants get the Vikings next week, who are one of the best defenses against wide receivers. But volume is king, and Slayton is on the field and earning volume. He can be a desperation option, but certainly not a recommended one.

FAQ
What’s the Difference Between Dynasty and Redraft Fantasy Football?
The biggest difference between dynasty and redraft fantasy football is how long you keep your players. In redraft leagues, you start fresh each season, with everyone building a new team from scratch. In dynasty leagues, your roster carries over year after year, just like running a real franchise.
That long-term element completely changes how you draft and manage your team. In redraft, you're focused on immediate production. In dynasty, you're thinking long-term: age, contract situations, and upside all matter more because you're building a foundation for the future.
Dynasty leagues tend to be more strategic and rewarding for players who enjoy scouting rookies, planning ahead, and trading with a big-picture mindset.
