With the month of July comes an influx of dynasty startup draft chatter. After all, the start of the summer months means we now have a very clear idea of how rosters look, who could end up where on team depth charts and in turn, what a player’s value projects to be in 2025.

For those who are unaware, dynasty leagues are most like running a real NFL team … you build a roster with a one-time “all-players” draft, followed by yearly “rookies-only” for as long as the league exists. If this seems like something you’d like to do in addition to your seasonal leagues, well, these dynasty startup league rank lists are perfect for you.

The difference between these rankings and redraft rankings are primarily in examining the age of the players. You’ll notice that “older” veterans like Dak Prescott, Derrick Henry, Mike Evans and Travis Kelce, for example, are ranked much lower than in traditional formats.

With that said, here’s a look at my 2025 dynasty start-up league top 200 rankings.
