Every year in fantasy football, I’m trying to achieve the same things any Fantasy Football GM is. To improve the process. To continue to sharpen the senses and skills. My hope is to bring you the most actionable and in-depth analysis I can possibly churn out so you dominate all of your leagues.
Last year, I wrote up the top 150 fantasy football selections in my rankings to create the end-all-be-all article that you could carry into your drafts. Well, this year, I’ve upped the ante. I expanded that to 250 fantasy football options.
Yes, 250 fantasy football options written up, so you can crush your opponents.
One article to rule them all, one article to find drafters, one article to bring them all & in the Draft Wizard, reward them. I’ll continue to update every player as we move through training camp and inch closer to Week 1 of the Fantasy Football season.

Here are other fantasy draft prep articles that I’ll be maintaining through the start of the 2025 NFL season.
Later-Round Quarterbacks to Target
Yes, I know we haven’t seen J.J. McCarthy play outside of an abbreviated preseason sample last year, but I’ll be targeting him everywhere this season. This should remain a pass-happy offense after ranking eighth in neutral passing rate and third in pass rate over expectation last year, per Fantasy Points Data. The Vikings remain loaded with skill players and added to the offensive line this offseason to give their new signal-caller all the time in the world to dice up opposing pass defenses in 2025.
Sam Darnold (yes, that Sam Darnold) finished as the QB9 in fantasy points per game last year, continuing a long history of Kevin O’Connell’s quarterbacks finishing as QB1s. I believe McCarthy will keep that streak alive. He was a stellar prospect airdropped into the perfect situation. In his final collegiate season, McCarthy ranked inside the top 12 FBS quarterbacks in passing grade, adjusted completion rate, yards per attempt, adjusted completion rate with downfield throws and against pressure, per Pro Football Focus (PFF). It’s wheels up for McCarthy in 2025.
Dak Prescott is an amazing late-round quarterback value. He is primed to return to the QB1 ranks in 2025. With George Pickens added opposite CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, and Jalen Tolbert, Prescott has enough weaponry at his disposal to excel in Dallas’ pass-centric offense. Last year, in Weeks 1-8, Dallas ranked eighth in neutral passing rate and 10th in pass rate over expectation.
Prescott’s passing touchdown rate dipped to 3.8% last season, which was the first time since 2020 that his passing touchdown rate had dipped below 5.8%. Prescott will throw for more touchdowns in 2025. We’re only one season removed from him finishing as the QB4 in fantasy points per game, seventh in yards per attempt, eighth in CPOE, and sixth-best in highly accurate throw rate, per Fantasy Points Data. Invest in Prescott.
