Matthew Berry's updated positional rankings for 2025 fantasy football season

Matthew Berry, Connor Rogers, Jay Croucher and Lawrence Jackson Jr. analyze the fantasy outlook for Joe Burrow and explain why the two-time Pro Bowler is set for another big season in 2025.
Here are my expanded and updated 2025 positional rankings for PPR leagues.
While these rankings are intended for full PPR leagues, a switch to half PPR or standard scoring would not result in many major changes. These rankings are also intended to be used primarily for managed re-draft leagues. If you're playing best ball, they can still serve as a good reference, but keep in mind that players with extremely high single week upside, as well as rookies, would move up significantly in those formats.
Matthew Berry,
Remember, it's only June, so these rankings are still extremely fluid. I'll continue to adjust as news comes out, so definitely keep checking back in for the latest updates. And as we get closer to fantasy draft season, I will expand these positional rankings as well as my overall big board. In the meantime, let me know who you think I'm either too low or too high on for this upcoming season!

Not done yet: Titans eyeing late run at finals

Gold Coast stars AJ Brimson and Kieran Foran insist the last-placed side can still make a late run and contend for finals with one proviso. The Titans, who play Parramatta away on Sunday night, have also had good news on their two State of Origin representatives Moeaki Fotuaika and Tino Fa'asuamalaeaui. Both middle forwards travelled to Sydney on Saturday to join the team and are set to play the Eels. Fa'asuamaleaui had a sternum complaint he took into Queensland's 26-24 win over NSW in Perth, but is determined to play Parramatta so long as there is no late complication. Brimson was man of the match in last week's 28-8 win over Manly playing at fullback. It was easily the Titans' best win of the year with 11 players unavailable - two to Origin and nine injured. The Titans play North Queensland at home next week and then have the bye. Brimson said it was vital the side string back-to-back wins together, starting with Parramatta, so as to have a crack at a late run to the finals. "We are planning on (the Manly win) not being a one-off. We think this is what we have been capable of for weeks," he said. "You enjoy every win when you are on the bottom. We are trying to put together some wins to finish off the year and see where we can go with it. "After a short turnaround and as outsiders that was a good team performance. "We spoke about taking the shackles off because we enjoy playing footy and that was Titans footy … backing ourselves and playing eyes-up footy. "We are back on track with the way we want to play. We have got Parramatta and we are not getting ahead of ourselves." Veteran Foran also had his best game of the season at No.6 and said the Titans were capable of figuring in September. "I still believe we can," he said. "I've always maintained we've got a great footy side here. "The first part of the season hasn't gone to plan on the back of some disappointing performances. "We've got to reset and go again. It's a block at a time. If we do that, you never know. "We've got to go step by step." In other Titans team news, boom back-rower David Fifita, named as 18th man, won't return this week after ankle surgery but is close to making a comeback. Parramatta are also at the bottom of the ladder and will be without halves Dylan Brown (suspended) and Mitchell Moses (injured). Their places will be taken by debutant Joash Papalii and Dean Hawkins.

49ers' George Kittle Uses 'Violence' to Describe Robert Saleh's Return

49ers' George Kittle Uses 'Violence' to Describe Robert Saleh's Return originally appeared on Athlon Sports. San Francisco welcomed Robert Saleh back into the 49ers' defensive coordinator job this offseason after an almost four-year stint as the head coach of the New York Jets. Advertisement Saleh showed promise from 2017-18 before he brought dominance in 2019 when the 49ers made a Super Bowl appearance. The Dearborn, Michigan, native hopes to help the 49ers recover from a disappointing 6-11 campaign last season that saw the team watch the postseason from home. While the defensive players are understandably excited about Saleh's return, it's an offensive player - George Kittle - who spoke on The Rich Eisen Show to warn the rest of the NFL about what's coming. 'Violence is coming is what I would say. ... He's really good at his job, and I'm really excited that we somehow convinced him to be our defensive coordinator again,' Kittle said. 'He knows what he's talking about, he's inspiring, he gets the boys fired up, and he just happens to also be really, really smart. So, I'm pumped to have him back in the building, just hanging out with him a little bit, talking about stuff. You can just tell he's ready to roll this year, and he's gonna get the boys fired up.' Advertisement In Saleh's last season as the coordinator in San Francisco, his defense ranked No. 2 in yards allowed and No. 8 in points allowed, and the unit took a hit when he left. The 49ers were No. 8 in yards allowed and ranked No. 27 in the league in points allowed. If Kittle's words turn out to be true, the rest of the NFC West could be in trouble.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. There's a lot of hype building behind the New York Giants' defensive standout, Brian Burns. Although he has already spent a season in New York, one NFL analyst anticipates a major rise for Burns during the 2025 NFL season. Marc Ross of listed seven players who he believes are "guaranteed risers" in the league this season. Burns topped the list now that he has a young stud joining the organization. "I guarantee the two-time Pro Bowler's production will vastly increase with Abdul Carter's arrival," Ross wrote. "The No. 3 overall draft pick is the most talented pass pusher to enter the league since Micah Parsons in 2021, and Carter's impact on the Giants defense is likely to be similar to the one the four-time Pro Bowler has made in Dallas."

He was the 16th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, joining the Carolina Panthers. It wasn't until year two that Burns became a full-time starter for the Panthers. He appeared in 15 games, generating 58 tackles and nine sacks.

He also had 18 hits on the quarterback, 8.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and eight pass deflections. Offensive lines had their hands full with Burns, Dexter Lawrence, and Kayvon Thibodeaux last season.
