2025 NFL Free Agent Wide Receivers

Stefon Diggs (WR – HOU)

Many doubted Stefon Diggs this season. While he didn’t replace Nico Collins as the No. 1 wide receiver, the veteran was the clear-cut second option ahead of Tank Dell. Diggs was the WR10 over the first eight weeks, averaging eight targets and 12.3 half-PPR fantasy points per game.

Unfortunately, he suffered a torn ACL in Week 8, ending his season. While Diggs played well over the first half of the year, teams and fantasy players should have concerns about a 31-year-old wide receiver coming off a significant injury.

• Early Redraft Outlook: The landing spot could make him a low-end WR2 or a high-end WR4. His likelihood of playing in Week 1 is a factor, too.
• Offseason Dynasty Outlook: A sell candidate for rebuilding teams before the start of free agency.

Keenan Allen (WR – CHI)

The Bears’ passing attack failed to live up to the offseason hype. Yet, Keenan Allen had a year, ending the season as the WR35, averaging 10 half-PPR fantasy points per game. The veteran played better after the change at offensive coordinator, averaging 10.8 targets and 17.4 fantasy points per game from Week 12 through Week 16.

While Chicago could re-sign Allen, the veteran likely will play elsewhere in 2025, with Rome Odunze needing more snaps next season. The landing spot will play a significant role in Allen’s fantasy value.

• Early Redraft Outlook: Likely a WR3 with limited upside, especially if he returns to Chicago.
• Offseason Dynasty Outlook: While his sell-high window is closed, fantasy players should explore the best trade offer at some point this offseason.

Amari Cooper (WR – BUF)

Amari Cooper started the season with the Cleveland Browns, averaging 8.8 targets and 8.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game. He had only one contest with more than eight fantasy points.

While the veteran had some positive moments with the Buffalo Bills, Cooper failed to become a consistent option for fantasy players. He is only a year removed from having 1,250 receiving yards. The veteran’s days as a top-20 wide receiver are over. However, Cooper has enough gas left in the tank to be a solid Flex option.

• Early Redraft Outlook: Flex option with low-end WR2 upside if he lands somewhere as the clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver.
• Offseason Dynasty Outlook: A potentially sneaky buy low trade target for contending teams that need more Flex options on their bench.
