Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football PPR Rankings
Kyle Monangai, RB, Chicago Bears (at GB)
Kyle Monangai looked really good last week. He’s worked his way into a near-even timeshare with D’Andre Swift. If the rookie continues to see 12+ touches per game, he will be fantasy viable…but he’s also matchup-dependent.
Things went very well with both Monangai and Swift rushing for over 100 yards against the Eagles on Black Friday. How often are both backs going to do that? Chances are never again.
Monangai has now rushed for a touchdown in four consecutive games. But outside of last week, had he not scored, he wouldn’t have gotten close to posting usable fantasy numbers.
The Green Bay Packers allow the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. Last week, David Montgomery’s rushing touchdown was the first one they allowed all season. Monangai is probably looking at like a 10-60 line this week, at best, which is not getting done for fantasy managers.
DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles (at LAC)
DeVonta Smith was lucky to escape last week with 9.8 fantasy points. While he’s been more good than bad recently, it feels like a struggle every week for him to get anything going.
The Eagles’ offense is broken, and it is not about to get fixed overnight. A.J. Brown has complained his way into making sure he’s forced targets. In a low-volume Jalen Hurts offense, there’s rarely enough for both of them.
This week, the challenge will be even greater against a Chargers defense allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Perhaps it ends up being Brown who gets left out. But my guess is Hurts can only sustain the fantasy production of one receiver, and it won’t be Smith.

FAQ
Is It Better to Target RBs or WRs Early in PPR Dynasty Drafts?
In PPR dynasty leagues, deciding whether to target running backs or wide receivers early comes down to your long-term strategy. Running backs tend to offer immediate production, especially if they’re featured in both the running and passing game. But their career peaks are usually shorter, and injuries or depth chart changes can quickly impact their value.
Wide receivers, on the other hand, often take longer to develop but usually have longer careers and more consistent year-to-year value. In PPR formats, WRs who rack up catches, especially high-volume route runners, become core assets over time.
Many successful dynasty managers aim to draft a mix: secure a reliable RB early if value is there, then build a deep WR foundation for long-term stability. In the end, it's less about strict position rules and more about choosing players with strong roles, consistent usage, and staying power in PPR scoring.
