Updated on Fri, 5 Dec 2025

Looking for 2025 DB Rankings? You’ve found them. And they’re much more than just straight rankings.

We start with baseline projections for every defensive back. But we also factor in ceiling projections, floor projections, and consensus projections. Each guy’s 3D projection combines with a cross-positional algorithm to deliver his 3D Value.

Pay close attention to your league’s scoring to make sure you’ve got the proper rankings for your situation. And don’t overlook the DB tier breaks. They’ll help you see the true value gaps throughout the rankings.
