More League-Winning RBs?

Well, not quite. But these RBs possess something that virtually every league-winning RB has: 10-touchdown upside.

To quote Matthew Freedman:

“TDs aren't the only thing that matters—but if your RBs score a lot of TDs, they'll also probably have a lot of yards and thus fantasy points.

Implication: If you have multiple RBs with 10+ TDs on your roster, you'll have an enhanced chance of winning your league.”

Freedman has 11 total running backs projected for at least 10 touchdowns for the 2025 season, which means 11 league-winning ceilings.

The best part? His running back projected for the most touchdowns looks like a bargain at his current ADP. 👀⤵️

Switching Gears To Wide Receiver …

You were treated to Ian’s tight end tiers last time we were here, and today, he’s following it up with his wide receiver tiers for 2025.

Let’s cut the fluff and dive right into all nine tiers:

• Tier 1: THE WR1, y’all

• Tier 2: Easily imaginable path to overall WR1 status

• Tier 3: I don't have 99 problems, but I do have one

• Tier 4: Look at them, they're old! (Or their QB situation isn't ideal)

• Tier 5: Their offense's No. 1 WR … for what that's worth

• Tier 6: Bob Ross could paint a picture of greatness

• Tier 7: Could very well look dumb for not ranking higher

• Tier 8: The last of us

• Tier 9: We're saying there's a chance

Now that the most important part—the tier names—is out of the way … how many wideouts have easily imaginable paths to a WR1 overall finish? 🤔⤵️
