The Top 10 Overall Players for Fantasy Football (Part 2)

These are the safest Round 1 picks you can make...

We’re back with Part 2 of the Top 10 Overall players for fantasy football in 2025.

These 5 names combine sky-high ceilings with elite usage — if you can land one of these guys your odds of winning your league skyrocket.

Let’s break them down…

5. Justin Jefferson

Even in a “down year” Jefferson was the WR3 last season.

He’s QB-proof (just check his 2023 production with Joshua Dobbs & Nick Mullens) — and now he gets JJ McCarthy under center.

Jefferson is the safest WR not named Ja'Marr Chase…

4. Jahmyr Gibbs

His final 4 games of 2024 with no Montgomery produced: 28.4 — 25.4 — 26.3 — and 46 points. Insane.

In this Lions offense, Gibbs is a must-have — and becomes a week-winner if Montgomery misses time…

3. Bijan Robinson

From Week 6 on last season Bijan earned 23.4 touches and 121 yards per game.

Now he gets Michael Penix at QB — a legit upgrade from 2024 Kirk Cousins. You want this floor + upside combo…

2. Saquon Barkley

Saquon led all RBs in points per game last year.

Even crazier? He did it despite his QB leading the team in rushing TDs.

Saquon is still just 28 — with a clear path to elite volume again in 2025…

1. Ja’Marr Chase

Chase is my WR1 — and my #1 overall pick in 2025.

He just dropped 23.7 points per game — the 3rd-best fantasy WR season ever. Chase is still only 25 years old with an elite role, high red zone usage, and a great QB.

Zero risk. Lock him in…

Bottom Line:

If you want a top-tier start to your draft — these are the names to circle in Round 1.

And that’s exactly what the Fantasy Blueprint does in every round of your draft —
identifies the best and worst values so you always stay ahead of your leaguemates.

Draft season moves fast — don’t wait until your leaguemates catch on to get ahead.
