Were WRs Overrated in 2025? - A Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/15
Wide receiver was supposed to be the safest position in fantasy football… but 2025 told a different story. In this episode, the Comanagers break down the Top 12 Fantasy Wide Receivers of 2025, and the results are a mix of expected dominance, surprise breakouts, and a whole lot of weekly frustration. Puka Nacua proved nearly unstoppable, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as one of the most complete receivers in the league with elite route running. Amon-Ra St. Brown quietly kept doing what he always does — finishing as a top-3 WR for the third straight season . But the rest of the list tells a complicated story. Ja’Marr Chase’s season was inconsistent thanks to Joe Burrow’s injury. George Pickens benefited from opportunity when CeeDee Lamb went down. Chris Olave put together a healthy season and might have his best quarterback situation yet. Then there were the strange finishes. Zay Flowers ended the year as WR7 despite rarely feeling like a weekly difference maker. Davante Adams remained a touchdown machine. Nico Collins stayed elite even while stuck in a struggling offense. Jameson Williams exploded after Detroit changed play callers. Meanwhile, Courtland Sutton and Tee Higgins managed top-12 finishes that often didn’t feel as strong as the final numbers suggest. The biggest takeaway? The WR middle class is massive. From roughly WR6 through WR24 , production was surprisingly flat. So the guys debate what this means for 2026 draft strategy — and whether loading up on running backs early might actually be the sharper move next season. Text a question or just say hi!
