2025 Pre-Draft Power Rankings

August 9, 2025 by Neal Down Leave a Comment


As the 2025 fantasy football season approaches, the Desert Dynasty League Pre-Draft Power Rankings are here to spark debate and set expectations. From top-tier juggernauts to underdog long shots, every team’s path to the championship starts with smart draft strategy and roster building. In this breakdown, we rank all 12 teams into clear tiers, analyze last season’s performance, and highlight the strengths, weaknesses, and storylines that could define the upcoming season.

The 2025 Desert Dynasty League Pre-Draft Power Rankings are here, and the tiers have never been more sharply defined. Last season’s final standings gave us plenty to chew on, from dominant regular-season performances to hard-luck heartbreakers.


This year’s draft will test every GM’s ability to balance risk, reward, and roster chemistry. Will the Heavyweights hold the crown, or is a Contender ready to crash the party?

Tier 1 – The Heavyweights
(Championship or Bust)

Worthy No More (Joe V leads the pack after a 9-2 season with a league-best +14.1 differential. Efficient, disciplined, and the nightmare of every opponent’s schedule, Joe’s squad is the early title favorite.

Hot on his heels, Team Flying Fish (John F) boasts a dangerous offense and a +10.5 diff, proving they can score in bunches and win shootouts.

Bobby Bouche (Marc F) rounds out Tier 1, bringing a +11.9 diff and the chip-on-the-shoulder energy of a team that tasted “almost” last year.

Tier 2 – The Contenders
(Knocking on the Door)

So Purdy It Hurts (Rob F) lit up the scoreboard at 121.6 PF/G but must patch up the defense to make a title run.

London Calling (Jeremy S) and LaPorta Potty (Brian H) both have winning potential if they can find consistency and capitalize on big-game moments.

Tier 3 – The Wild Cards
(Boom or Bust)

Brown and Harry (Scott S) has the tools but needs to close out tight games.

Gibbs Me Some Love (Jason B) is as middle-of-the-pack as it gets — which means they’re one lucky break away from a deep run.

In My Losing Era (Aaron L) wasn’t as bad as the name implies and could quickly flip the script with defensive improvements.

Tier 4 – The Long Shots
(Needing a Miracle or Two)

No Fournette Play (Matt G) fought hard but couldn’t win enough close calls.

Everyday I’m Russellin’ (DeLoy B) struggled to find the end zone and will need an offensive overhaul.

Davis (Eric D) took more than their share of hits last year, but the only way to go from his 12th place regular season finish is up.

Rough news. Hate to see a guy go down with any sort of injury.
How does this affect your Fantasy Football outlook for leagues with #idp roster positions? Who do you get to replace a #TreyvonDiggs in your roster?
