22 Aug
Summary
- Ja'Marr Chase is consensus No. 1 overall pick in 2025 fantasy drafts
- Bijan Robinson selected 1st in 12-team league, Kyren Williams and Omarion Hampton offer late-round value
- Deebo Samuel Sr. falls in drafts as Terry McLaurin's holdout continues
As of August 22nd, 2025, the upcoming fantasy football season is shaping up to be an exciting one, with Ja'Marr Chase emerging as the consensus No. 1 overall pick. The Bengals wide receiver is coming off a massive 2024 campaign, scoring over 400 fantasy points and cementing his status as the top wideout.
In a 12-team league draft, the second player off the board is Bijan Robinson of the Falcons, who is looking to build on his breakout 2024 season. Other notable picks include Drake London of the Falcons, Garrett Wilson of the Jets, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seahawks, all of whom are expected to have strong fantasy performances.
Late-round steals include Kyren Williams of the Rams and Omarion Hampton of the Chargers, both of whom offer excellent value based on their current average draft position. Meanwhile, the once-elite Deebo Samuel Sr. of the Commanders has seen his stock drop, likely due to the ongoing holdout of his teammate, Terry McLaurin.
