2025 Draft Rankings

CeeDee Lamb Note

Despite dealing a shoulder injury for much of the season and Dak Prescott limited to eight games, CeeDee Lamb still finished as the WR8 in fantasy points per game. Among 85 qualifying wide receivers, he ranked 15th in target share (24%), 12th in receiving yards per game (74.6), 16th in yards per route run (2.36), and 21st in first downs per route run (0.107, per Fantasy Points Data). With George Pickens added to the offense, a healthy Dak Prescott returning to the huddle, and Lamb back to full strength he has WR1 overall upside again in 2025.

George Pickens Note

George Pickens heads to Dallas with plenty of real-life upside, but fantasy managers should tread carefully based on the Steelers' hit rate of moving on from "polarizing" WRs before it's too late. While he flashed WR14 production during a six-game stretch with improved QB play in 2024, Pickens remains a volatile, big-play specialist who doesn't command high target volume. Pairing with Dak Prescott is an upgrade, but in a system where CeeDee Lamb dominates touches and Dallas just extended KaVontae Turpin, Pickens' role isn't guaranteed to be stable. His ADP will likely climb, making him a potential fade in 2025.

Dak Prescott Note

Dak Prescott's 2024 season ended prematurely when he tore his hamstring off the bone in the Cowboys' Week 9 loss to the Falcons. Through the first eight weeks of the season, Prescott averaged 16.0 fantasy points per game, ranking QB18 in that category. Prescott had been QB3 in fantasy scoring in 2023, averaging 20.7 fantasy points per game. Although he doesn't run much anymore, Prescott could be a worthy wait-on-QB target in 2025 fantasy drafts since he's likely to come at a discount following an injury-shortened season. Dallas has a strong group of pass catchers with CeeDee Lamb and new acquisition George Pickens, along with TE Jake Ferguson.

Javonte Williams Note

Last year, it was tough to watch Javonte Williams. The injuries have seemingly robbed him of his special tackle-breaking sauce. The Broncos kept trotting him out there weekly without a better option to take his place. Williams finished as the RB36 in fantasy points per game. He will be in the conversation, if not the favorite, to be the Cowboys' starting back this season, with only Miles Sanders and Jaydon Blue realistically competing with him for the job. I don't know if Williams has the juice anymore to hold off those players, but he will be given the opportunity to do so. Last year, Williams ranked outside the top 34 backs in explosive run rate, missed tackles forced per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Williams makes the most sense with Zero RB builds this season, as he could buy time for a fantasy star to emerge from your bench to take his place in your starting lineup.

Jake Ferguson Note

After being the TE8 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring in 2023, Jake Ferguson finished TE30 in 2024, with 59 catches for 494 yards and zero touchdowns in 14 games. Ferguson missed action with a knee injury and a concussion. A hamstring injury that wiped out half of QB Dak Prescott's season didn't help Ferguson's cause either. Solid 2023 numbers suggest that a bounceback is possible, but targets could be sparse for Ferguson now that the Cowboys have added WR George Pickens to complement target-hogging WR CeeDee Lamb.

Jaydon Blue Note

Blue fell to the fifth round of the NFL Draft as he was swimming in a ridiculously deep running back draft class. The former Longhorn displayed some three-down big play ability in his final collegiate season. He ranked 26th in elusive rating, 35th in yards after contact per attempt, and 25th in yards per route run (per PFF). It's not hard to envision Blue having a role in the backfield immediately in Week 1, considering the lackluster players surrounding him on the Dallas Cowboys' depth chart. Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders' best football looks to be behind them. Blue could be the passing down back from Day 1 with an avenue to become the team's lead back quickly.

KaVontae Turpin Note

KaVontae Turpin quietly showed explosive potential in 2024, finishing 26th among all WRs in yards per route run (2.06) and earning targets on 26% of his routes - an elite rate. Though he never played more than 50% of snaps in any game, Dallas clearly values his dynamic skillset, re-signing him to a three-year, $18 million deal this offseason. With George Pickens presumed to be the WR2, Turpin still has a chance to carve out a meaningful role, especially in creative packages. He's a deep sleeper to monitor, particularly in best ball formats or return-yardage leagues.
