Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Redraft PPR Fantasy Football Rankings
Marcus Mariota, QB, Washington Commanders (vs. DET)
For those in deeper leagues or potentially Superflex leagues, Marcus Mariota should be available with Jayden Daniels injured long-term. The Washington Commanders’ backup is more mobile than most and will probably need to be aggressive to keep up with the Detroit Lions offense on Sunday.
Mariota has been a top-20 fantasy quarterback in all three of his starts this season, including a QB6-overall finish against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. The Lions, meanwhile, have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks (19.1).
Dan Campbell’s men have allowed two touchdowns per game, 7th-most in the league, while Washington has allowed the 11th-most points per game (26.22). It won’t feel great, but Mariota is a viable QB2 option this weekend.
Colston Loveland, TE, Chicago Bears (vs. NYG)
I’ve been pushing Colston Loveland as a stash for weeks, and he even made this article last week before his explosive breakout game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Loveland stepped up in the wild Week 9 shootout, catching six of his seven targets for 1118 yards and two touchdowns.
The 6’6” pass catcher is a beast over the middle of the field, as shown by his broken tackle on his game-winning 58-yard touchdown. A highly drafted rookie playmaker is always a good bet in the second half of the season, and Loveland looks like a star in the making.
Unfortunately, due to his eruption on Sunday, he will cost you considerable FAAB budget this week, but given his long-term outlook, he is worth being aggressive for. This week, he faces a New York Giants defense that has allowed 232.1 passing yards per game, ninth-most in the NFL, and 15 passing touchdowns, tied for eighth-most.

FAQ
What Is PPR in Fantasy Football?
PPR stands for “point per reception.” It means exactly what it says. PPR dictates how much a reception is worth in fantasy football.
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.
