2025 Dynasty Rookie Rankings

Updated on Fri, 18 Jul 2025

These Dynasty Rookie Rankings aren’t like any other you’ll find. Why? Because of how we build them.

The Draft Sharks staff doesn’t just slot the players in the order we think they belong. These rankings are built on actual, award-winning projections.

We combine those 2025 projections with two decades of NFL research – as well as a series of machine-learning models – to build out three-year, five-year, and 10-year projections for every player.

We use research-based aging curves and expected retirement rates to turn those projections into 3D+ Values that present the clearest picture of a player’s dynasty outlook you’ll find anywhere.

Tier 1
Tier 1
1	Ja'Marr Chase CIN WR 1	N/A	10	25.3	228	689	1,126	2,122	Chase became only the fifth WR ever to win the triple crown in the Super Bowl era, leading the league in receptions, yards and TDs. He outscored Justin Jefferson (the WR2 on the season) by more than four PPR points per game in 2024. It is unlikely that Chase can repeat such a performance in 2025 (or beyond) but he certainly has the talent.	100

2	Justin Jefferson MIN WR 2	N/A	6	26.1	207	686	1,113	2,039	Jefferson ended 2024 as the PPR WR2, notchign his fifth straight 1,000+ yard season to start his career. With Sam Darnold’s emergence, Jefferson was able to catch 10 TDs, matching his career high. He went for 100+ catches for the third time in his career. Jefferson should continue to flourish alongside young QB J.J. McCarthy.	96

Tier 1
3	Bijan Robinson ATL RB 1	N/A	5	23.4	270	746	1,185	1,918	Robinson profiled as the best RB prospect since Saquon Barkley. Thickly built and explosive, the Texas product simply never earned a consistent role under HC Arthur Smith. With Smith out of town, Robinson's production exploded to 1,881 total yards and 15 TDs in 2024. He's on track to remain a clear RB1 for the forseeable future.	94

4	Ashton Jeanty LVR RB 2	N/A	8	21.6	238	701	1,170	2,146	Jeanty went from a 1,900 total yard sophomore season to a 2,700 total yard junior season. He boasts elite contact balance, burst, and receiving ability. Jeanty’s landing spot in Vegas should support some massive workloads over the next few seasons.	93

5	Jahmyr Gibbs DET RB 3	N/A	8	23.3	247	717	1,155	1,925	Despite a slow start, Gibbs largely delivered as a rookie RB. He averaged 5.2 YPC and popped in 10 TDs on 182 attempts, adding 52 receptions. His production reached new heights in 2024, and he proved more than capable as a workhorse back following a late-season injury to David Montgomery. Only 23, Gibbs shouldn't slow down any time soon.	90

Tier 2
Tier 2
6	CeeDee Lamb DAL WR 3	N/A	10	26.3	212	642	1,041	1,924	Even with QB Dak Prescott missing most of 2024, Lamb ended the year as the PPR WR5. Lamb had double-digit targets in six of his nine games and was a WR2 or better in those six. The high volume of targets should continue with Lamb under contract through 2028.	89

7	Malik Nabers NYG WR 4	N/A	14	21.9	193	580	991	1,995	Despite having Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, and Tommy DeVito, Nabers ended 2024 as the PPR WR7 in points per game. This included five weeks as a top-10 scorer at the position. He commands volume and showcases a complex route tree from short screens to deep routes. He's a star in the making if the Giants can find a QB.	83

Tier 3
Tier 3
8	Puka Nacua LAR WR 5	N/A	8	24.1	204	579	948	1,774	Nacua dealt with knee issues in the preseason and early in 2024. Still, he ended six of his 10 full games as a top-20 PPR WR. He should retain the target lead in the short term, even after the arrival of WR Davante Adams. We'll also see how L.A. approaches the QB spot with Matthew Stafford entering his age 37 season.	78

Tier 2
9	Saquon Barkley PHI RB 4	N/A	9	28.4	281	636	978	1,613	Barkley hit as our 2022 Comeback Pick. 2023 turned up an ugly QB situation and poor efficiency on strong volume. Barkley expressed interest in returning to New York but ultimately joined a superior environment in Philly. From there, he enjoyed a historic 2024 with 2,005 yards and 15 total TDs. Another 1-2 seasons of top-end RB1 production are reasonable.	75

10	Nico Collins HOU WR 6	N/A	6	26.3	203	571	926	1,711	A hamstring injury knocked Collins out for part of 2024, but he was still the PPR WR8 in points per game. And that was despite a down year for the Texans' passing game. Collins has now shown two years of top production and is under contract through 2027.	75
