Dynasty Half-PPR Superflex Rookie WR Rankings 2025

Updated on Fri, 5 Dec 2025

Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating Half-PPR Superflex Rankings. You wouldn’t buy a house with a cracked or leaking basement, would you? No! The foundation for anything is critical.

At Draft Sharks, our Dynasty Rankings are based on data—a lot of it. We start with a player's baseline, a weighted average of this year’s projection, and their last two seasons. Then we use 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy forecasted output. This isn't guesswork. Our process has been built using machine learning for all NFL data since 1999. We determine this output using scientifically-sound performance aging curves and retirement rates. And these numbers are specific to both positional groups and archetypes of players. These are the smartest fantasy football projections on the market. Period.

3D values+ then apply a weighted average of those 1-,3-,5- and 10-year projections and a cross-positional algorithm based on your exact league setup and scoring. The results are an unparalleled single (true) value you can use universally on the site. That means you can use these values for ranking in the preseason, regular season, and trade valuations.

Ready to go for the gold? In the Draft War Room you can adjust the weighting even heavier toward year-one projection in "Win Now" mode.

Tier 4
1	Tetairoa McMillan T McMillan CAR WR11	N/A	14	22.7	185	587	994	1,940	At Arizona, McMillan tallied two straight years of 1,300+ yards and 8+ TDs. He brings a clear X WR skill set at 6’5, 212 pounds. He supplies some deep speed but still has the footwork and route tree to freeze defenders. With long arms and a good catch radius, McMillan boasts tremendous fantasy upside. The Carolina landing spot supplies a path to WR1 targets within a couple of seasons.	39

2	Emeka Egbuka E Egbuka TB WR13	N/A	9	23.1	191	547	964	1,917	Egbuka went back for his senior year to chase a National Championship and caught 70 passes for 896 yards and 10 TDs. He is an ideal NFL slot WR with a quick first step and clean routes to turn slants and drags into big gains. While the Round 1 draft capital was nice, the Bucs don’t supply a clear landing spot for meaningful short-term targets. Mike Evans returns for 2025, Note that Evans is only under contract for one more season.	37

3	Travis Hunter T Hunter JAC WR27	N/A	8	22.5	60	458	780	1,550	Hunter showed elite receiver ability last year, catching 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 TDs while also playing full-time on defense. The Heisman winner is a smooth mover with excellent hands and body control. Jacksonville traded up to secure Hunter, who's fully expected to play on both sides of the ball. Most importantly, Hunter will have a sizable role on offense. We’ll keep a close eye on his deployment alongside Brian Thomas Jr. this offseason.	21

4	Matthew Golden M Golden GB WR34	N/A	5	22.3	109	419	709	1,383	Golden was a surprising four-star commit to Houston, where he showcased deep threat talent. Moving to Texas this past season unleashed his potential with 58 catches for 987 yards and 9 TDs. He was also the fastest WR at the NFL Combine with a 4.29 40-yard dash. Green Bay saw enough to select him in Round 1, and they’ve already talked up his speed, hands, and versatility. He should make a Year 1 fantasy impact – especially with Christian Watson rehabbing a torn ACL.	18

5	Jayden Higgins J Higgins HOU WR35	N/A	6	22.9	104	428	712	1,322	Higgins should start opposite Nico Collins in the Texans offense with Christian Kirk playing the slot. His size (6’4, 212 pounds) gives him Higgins turned heads at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, where he ran a 4.47 40-yard dash along with a 39" Vertical and 10'8 Broad Jump.	18

6	Luther Burden III L Burden III CHI WR39	N/A	5	21.9	97	406	687	1,321	Burden joins a stacked Bears team with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and Colston Loveland. But if there is a HC who can scheme touches for him, it is Ben Johnson. His ability in the screen and short passing game could make him a weapon, though he may struggle to produce consistent fantasy numbers early in his career.	17

7	Tre Harris T Harris LAC WR49	N/A	12	23.8	67	393	650	1,165	Harris joins a unit desperate for talent outside of Ladd McConkey. His size, production and downfield speed makes Harris a great deep threat for QB Justin Herbert. He should be locked into a starting spot with a good QB, but HC Jim Harbaugh will always want a run first offense.	14

8	Elic Ayomanor E Ayomanor TEN WR56	N/A	10	22.5	113	361	610	1,213	A beacon of talent on an awful football team, Ayomanor sports perhaps the best body control in the class. He is built on highlight catches and physically boxing out defenders to keep position. The overall athleticism is there, but he struggles with concentration drops that will need to be cleaned up. He had a solid NFL Combine running a 4.44 40-yard dash, though he had the slowest 10-yard split among WRs at 1.58. Ayomanor landed in an excellent spot for long-term opportunity.	13

9	Jaylin Noel J Noel HOU WR57	N/A	6	23.3	75	365	618	1,183	Noel was drafted to join college teammate Jayden Higgins. He played primarily in the slot at Iowa State, but showed some outside ability at the Senior Bowl. Likely to start as the back-up to Christian Kirk, Noel could develop into a starting role by his second year.	13

10	Pat Bryant P Bryant DEN WR58	N/A	12	22.9	81	354	607	1,170	Bryant was a surprise third-round pick, but HC Sean Payton compared him to former Saints WR Michael Thomas. Bryant isn’t fast, running a 4.61 40, but he is quick off the snap with good hands. He likely slots behind the top four WRs for the Broncos, but is unique in his slant and possession WR ability compared to the rest of the group.	13

11	Tory Horton T Horton SEA WR59	N/A	8	23	52	367	622	1,174	Horton was looking to follow up his 1,136 receiving-yard season from 2023 with a big 2024, but a knee injury cost him significant time. Still, he enters the league with an excellent size/speed combo. And despite lasting until Round 5, he lands with a Seattle team offering little WR depth. Horton has gotten some work with the first team in training camp.	13

12	Isaac TeSlaa I TeSlaa DET WR61	N/A	8	23.8	61	346	608	1,128	The Lions gave up two 2026 third round picks to secure TeSlaa, so his athletic upside and toughness enticed them to take a shot on the massive upside. He could be developed to replace Jameson Williams down the line, but the lack of college production is concerning.	12

13	Chimere Dike C Dike TEN WR66	N/A	10	23.9	94	349	578	1,070	Dike spent his first four years of college at Wisconsin in a run first offense. The 4.3 speedster flashed at times, but never was able to take over a game. He ended the season with 42 catches for 783 yards. His 18.64 yards per catch ranked 17th in the country. With Dike’s experience and athleticism, he has a ton of upside with some coaching and development.	11

14	Dont'e Thornton Jr. D Thornton Jr. LVR WR67	N/A	8	23	62	341	578	1,106	Thornton was a four-star recruit who headed to Oregon based on his speed and athletic ability. He never quite developed in Eugene, but found some success as a deep threat in Tennessee over the last two seasons. A downfield role is a realistic one for Thornton in Vegas.	11

His sharp route running and great hands make him an immediate impact slot player, perhaps with Ladd McConkey type of upside. He should be the third receiving option behind Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers.	10

16	Kyle Williams K Williams NE WR71	N/A	14	23	47	335	557	1,034	Williams is an elite deep threat who was added to one of the worst WR groups in the league. He should find an immediate role, though may be limited to deep shots and big plays. Being paired with Drake Maye is a great landing spot. As only a Round 3 NFL Draft pick, he isn’t guaranteed playing time, but the situation is good enough for him to be on the back end of dynasty rosters.	10

17	Jalen Royals J Royals KC WR73	N/A	10	22.8	18	325	551	1,040	Royals showed promise as a catch-and-run threat at Utah State. A foot injury limited his 2024 production, but we were impressed by his 2023 breakout in a bad offense. He’s a developmental piece to watch over the next couple of seasons.	9

He outperformed Troy Franklin, running a more nuanced route tree and connecting with QB Bo Nix. Johnson took a step back in 2024, but he still led the team with 83 catches for 898 yards and 10 TDs. Small, thin, and fast, Johnson ultimately dropped to Round 7 of the NFL Draft. He’s blocked by a deep Bucs WR corps.	7

19	Isaiah Bond I Bond CLE WR86	N/A	9	21.7	75	289	488	976	Bond spent his first two years at Alabama -- where he broke out -- and then transferred to Texas. An injury-filled 2024 resulted in only 33 catches for 532 yards and 5 TDs. Despite never having a 700-yard receiving season, Bond’s athleticism makes him a potential NFL starter. He was expected to run in the 4.2s at the NFL Combine, but only mustered a 4.40. Bond signed with the Browns in mid-August, so the late start could be an issue making a team.	7

After dominating at Middle Tennessee, he transferred to Virginia Tech with middling results. Even so, he has NFL athleticism and could be used as a gadget player at the next level.	5

21	Savion Williams S Williams GB WR93	N/A	5	24	29	277	472	860	Williams was a unique weapon at TCU, lining up at RB, WR, and Wildcat QB. The Packers have a pretty full WR room, but will likely use Williams on special teams and the occasional gadget play. He has the size for long term fantasy upside, but is likely a long way from relevancy.	4

22	Tai Felton T Felton MIN WR100	N/A	6	22.7	2	253	431	840	Felton has good size, athleticism and production. He should compete with Jalen Nailor and Rondale Moore for snaps as a rookie and could develop into a third WR for the team. He would be a stash for when Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison go down.	3

23	KeAndre Lambert-Smith K Lambert-Smith LAC WR101	N/A	12	23.3	18	249	422	795	Lambert-Smith joined Auburn ahead of last season. He blossomed into a legit deep threat, setting career highs in yards per catch (19.2), aDOT (13.8), and yards per route run (2.70). Lambert-Smith led Auburn pass catchers in catches and yards and tied for first in TDs. KLS was widely considered a Shrine Bowl winner and further boosted his stock with a 9.11 Relative Athletic Score at the NFL Combine. Still, he dropped to Round 5 to a team that took WR Tre Harris in Round 2.	2

He ranked third behind Malik Heath and Jonathan Mingo in receiving in ‘22. Watkins repeated the finish in ‘23, this time behind fellow prospect Tre Harris. Watkins set career highs in yards, YPC, and TDs in 2024. Still, he ranked third on the team in targets with a moderate 16.5% share. Watkins could blossom into a WR3, but we don’t see upside beyond that.	2

His deep speed will be an asset in the NFL, similar to Marques Valdes-Scantling. His skillset was expanded a bit on Georgia this past season, leading the team in receiving, but he is far from nuanced enough to be an instant starter in the pros.	-0
