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 Fantasy Football WR Rankings
Adonai Mitchell, WR, New York Jets
Over the last three weeks, Adonai Mitchell has posted games of 24.2, 3.4, and 17.4. Therein lies the issue with ever starting Mitchell. He's highly volatile. But he's seeing targets. Mitchell has earned 27 of them over that span.
The Jets close out the fantasy season against the Saints and Patriots. The former has been surprisingly good against wide receivers, but isn't the type of team to run them out of the building. The latter will, but they are also a pass funnel. Mitchell could be usable.
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.

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.
