The 2025 NFL season is here, and with it comes the trials and tribulations of fantasy football. With the football calendar heating up, our rankings team has compiled its complete rankings to help you make informed decisions.
Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Redraft Non-PPR Fantasy Football Rankings
Colston Loveland, TE, Chicago Bears (vs. GB)
Colston Loveland's range of outcomes in Week 16 is vast, but his upside makes him well worth picking up on the waiver wire. Both Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III missed practice to start the week, and if both are sidelined against the Packers on Saturday, Loveland will likely be in for a very busy evening.
The Green Bay Packers just lost Micah Parsons, and the Chicago Bears have one of the better offensive lines in football. Caleb Williams should have plenty of time to find targets downfield, and Loveland has already shown what a devastating big-play threat he can be.
Oronde Gadsden II, TE, Los Angeles Chargers (at DAL)
Oronde Gadsden II carries far more risk than Waller and Loveland, as his floor has been proven to be crushing for fantasy in recent weeks. However, having caught four of his five targets for 61 yards on Sunday, the rookie is back in contention this weekend.
As mentioned, the Cowboys have given up a league-high 254.8 passing yards per game and have plenty of offensive firepower to create a shootout scenario. Gadsden shouldn't be your first choice on this list, but he stands out as a high-upside swing for those who are unable to get their hands on Waller or Loveland.

FAQ
Is Non-PPR scoring standard?
Historically, non-PPR scoring was considered standard, and you would hear people refer to it as such. However, that has now changed, with each website having its own standard. For example, ESPN's "standard" leagues score PPR, while Yahoo's leagues score non-PPR.
What Is the Difference Between PPR and Non-PPR
There is a very stark contrast between PPR scoring and non-PPR scoring. In non-PPR, receptions don’t matter … at all. The only relevance receptions have is how they relate to the yards a player attains on those receptions.
One of the primary criticisms of PPR scoring is that it rewards unproductive plays. If a running back carries the ball 15 times for 90 yards, that’s a really efficient performance. Yet, a wide receiver racking up an inefficient seven catches for 40 yards is going to outscore that running back by 2.0 PPR fantasy points.
