First-year head coach Ben Johnson and second-year quarterback Caleb Williams appear to be clicking in Chicago, but Fantasy football managers everywhere will be wondering how much they can trust the Bears’ offense in 2025. Williams, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Cole Kmet, Colston Loveland and D’Andre Swift are all worth of consideration for your upcoming 2025 Fantasy football drafts. But how big of an impact can Johnson’s playcalling have, and where exactly should you be targeting those players?
Having a reliable set of live-updated 2025 Fantasy football rankings can help you gauge when is the right time to strike on these Fantasy-relevant Chicago playmakers. They can also help you identify the potential 2025 Fantasy football sleepers, breakouts and busts that may define the upcoming season. Before setting your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2025 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud might take a step back in his second season. He finished as QB18 and anybody who avoided drafting him early dodged a major headache in their Fantasy football lineups.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020, nailing Jonathan Taylor’s monstrous season in 2021 and calling Rachaad White’s breakout in 2023. Additionally, it has called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest 2025 Fantasy football rankings for PPR and non-PPR leagues, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2025 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2025 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. He set new career highs in rushing yards (799), rushing touchdowns (eight) and yards per rush (4.3) last year in his third NFL season. Despite not being a strong pass-catching running back (only 20 receptions last year), Robinson was a focal point in the offense with more than 100 more carries than any other running back to make up for his lack of receptions.
The model expects Robinson to be an important part of the offense again this fall. The Commanders’ offense should continue to progress as well, following Jayden Daniels winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year and Washington adding to its playmaking group with Deebo Samuel. Robinson could do most of his Fantasy football damage inside the 5-yard line with his 6-foot-1 build, and the Commanders figure to be inside the red zone often this season.

Top 2025 Fantasy football breakouts
One of the 2025 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty enters the NFL following a dominant final season at Boise State, where he totaled over 1,800 yards and 19 touchdowns. A true three-down back, Jeanty combines elite balance, tackle-breaking strength and proven pass-catching ability, hauling in over 40 receptions in 2024. His all-around skill set made him one of college football’s most versatile offensive weapons and a nightmare for opposing defenses.
Jeanty, the No. 6 overall pick in the NFL Draft, is expected to be the focal point of the Raiders’ ground game from Day 1. He lands in an ideal situation under new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who has a track record of maximizing dynamic running backs, and head coach Pete Carroll, who favors a run-heavy philosophy. With a strong supporting scheme and immediate opportunity, Jeanty is well-positioned to become a Fantasy football standout and one of the league’s most impactful rookie playmakers.

Top 2025 Fantasy football busts
As for players to avoid, the model lists Colts running back Jonathan Taylor as one of its 2025 Fantasy football busts. He’s been the 10th running back off the board on average in early 2025 Fantasy football drafts and he’s going late in the second round or early in the third round in most 10-team leagues, but the model is barely ranking him inside its top 20 running backs for the 2025 season.
Taylor is coming off a bounceback season where he rushed for 1,431 yards and 11 touchdowns after two injury-plagued years, but his involvement in the Indianapolis passing attack is suboptimal. He finished the 2024 season with career-lows in receptions (18) and receiving yards (136). He also missed three more games last season after missing 13 games the previous two years, and that’s another reason the model is ranking Taylor behind James Conner and Aaron Jones, who are available at least two rounds later on average.
