Joe Burrow, Bengals and Tinsley

Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts headline UPI senior sports writer Alex Butler's Top 20 fantasy football quarterback rankings for the 2025 NFL campaign.
2025 Outlook: Burrow is poised to pass the ball at a high rate again, with a still-improving defense and two of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Chase and Higgins both averaged over 2.0 yards per route run last season and pair well with Burrow to boost him into the fantasy QB1 range for 2025.
The second week of the 2025 NFL preseason got underway on Friday, and these exhibition games can be particularly interesting to fantasy enthusiasts in dynasty leagues.
The Bengals have scored touchdowns on four of Burrow's five drives this preseason, looking ready for a Week 1 NFC North clash at Cleveland.
Over the course of the past five seasons, Josh Allen has either finished as the QB1 or QB2, and he is in line to reclaim the top spot for fantasy football in 2025. While he took a step back in both passing and rushing yards, Allen still managed to finish as the QB2 last year, behind Lamar Jackson.
A top quarterback-receiver stack can crush your opponent in any given week, but if you pick the wrong one, forget about your fantasy football title dreams.
The second week of preseason action is over, and it's time to see what's changed with the CBS Sports Average Draft Position data, which you can view here. I encourage you to study the ADP because it's a good blueprint for how your draft might go.
