My Dynasty Off-Season: 2025 Dynasty Rookie Wide Receiver Rankings

Well, that was fun. Another year in the books, and hopefully you were able to grab that dynasty league championship. While the games are thrilling and the results matter, this is the time of year I really look forward to. Yes, the off-season is my favorite part of fantasy football. I love diving into the NFL Draft, analyzing rookies, re-assessing the veteran dynasty landscape, and giving you all the info I can to help you get ready for the upcoming season.

This year, I’m continuing my series – My Dynasty Off-Season. This is where I pull back the curtain a little to share what I’m doing in terms of team building, roster evaluation, player assessments, trade possibilities, value changes, and anything else that’s on my mind. I hope this series helps guide you through the off-season and positions you for success next year. Over the coming weeks, I’m going to share my positional rankings for the rookies in detail. If you missed it, this was the preview version. Today, let's jump into the wide receivers.

Wide Receivers

1.) Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona

There are a number of players vying to be this year’s WR1 in rookie drafts, but the favorite is clearly McMillan, who posted another great season in the desert with a 84/1,319/8 line last season.  When you consider he was playing at less than 100% for most of the year, that’s impressive. He may not have truly elite speed, but he’s fast enough. When you consider he’s clearly the most versatile receiver in the class, it may not matter anyway. NFL teams are going to fall in love with his vast skill set and could use him on the outside, in the slot or anywhere else all over the field. As a receiver who is as “plug and play” ready as we’ve seen in some time, he’s going to be highly sought after in fantasy and reality. While not a truly elite-level prospect like Malik Nabers or Marvin Harrison last year, McMillan looks pretty close to a “can’t miss” player.

McMillan has been popularly mocked to Dallas, Las Vegas, and New Orleans in the top 12 in recent weeks and any of them could be good landing spots. Again, McMillan may not have an unbelievable ceiling, but it's really hard to look at him and not think his floor is that of a low-level WR1 or top-end WR2 when all is said and done. The plan for him is going to be a key to his value as dynasty managers are going to need to be convinced he's in a spot for a heavy volume, but it's hard to see another receiver going higher than he does in fantasy or reality.
