As the weather heats up, so does our excitement about the 2025 fantasy football draft season. Whether you play in a casual redraft league, an intense deep dynasty format or anything in between, we at ESPN Fantasy are here to help.

The NFL has held one preseason game already and will soon see the entire league enter the exhibition portion of their schedule.

As a reference point, our starting lineup is QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 FLEX (RB/WR/TE) and one WR/TE FLEX with seven reserves for a 16-round draft. The scoring is 0.5 PPR with six points for all rushing and receiving touchdowns. Passing touchdowns are worth four points. You do not need to use a tight end.
