Fantasy football rankings 2025: Busts from model that was all over Raheem Mostert's
challenging season
Injuries, unfortunately, happen every season, and that can make things difficult for the 2025
fantasy football season. Avoiding busts is always at the top of everyone's minds. Jacksonville
Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was one of the biggest busts last season. He had an
average 19.5 ADP in 2024 but finished as RB35. He finished with career lows in carries (150),
rushing yards (558), and rushing touchdowns (two).
To steer clear of another situation like this, you'll need some 2025 Fantasy football rankings
you can bank on. Before finalizing your 2025 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check

Last year, the model accurately predicted that Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert
would fall well short of his ADP (RB23). The result: A season after rushing for over 1,000
yards and scoring 21 total touchdowns despite sharing time with De'Von Achane, Mostert
fell out of favor in Miami and finished as RB60 after managing only 439 scrimmage yards and
two touchdowns.
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
correctly predicting C.J. Stroud would take a step back in 2024. Additionally, it's 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
Fantasy football rankings 2025, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to

Top 2025 Fantasy football busts
One of the 2025 Fantasy football busts the model is predicting: Broncos wide receiver
Courtland Sutton. The 29-year-old is coming off his second career 1,000-yard season and his
chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix helped secure Sutton a new four-year, $92 million
contract extension this offseason.
However, Sutton has finished with 830 receiving yards or fewer in five of his seven seasons in
the NFL and any sort of regression in Nix's second season could also jeopardize Sutton's
production. The model ranks him behind wide receivers like Jakobi Meyers and Chris
Godwin, who are available at least 25 picks later on average.
Another bust that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2025 have identified: Detroit Lions
receiver Jameson Williams. He posted career-highs in targets (91), catches (58), receiving
yards (1,001) and receiving touchdowns (seven) in 2024. Despite these stats, he struggled
with injuries and was even suspended in his first two seasons.
The Lions also lost Ben Johnson and have John Morton replacing him as offensive
coordinator. It'll be interesting to see how the offense will be with a new playcaller. The
Alabama pr oduct's numbers will take a dip if Jared Goff or the offense as a whole takes a
step back. The model also has him ranked behind Darnell Mooney, Ricky Pearsall, and Stefon
Diggs despite having an ADP at least 25 picks ahead of those wideouts. See which other
