End-of-Season Power Rankings

End-of-Season Power Rankings – 2025 Season

Hello All,

It has been a season for the ages in the world of Extraordinarily Fresh! We had a playoff run that did not lack excitement, drama, and surprises. Although I’m sad to see the end of our Extraordinarily Fresh year, I look forward to next year with great anticipation of another competitive year with a great group of managers. Congratulations to our “Best of the Fresh,” “Kinda Fresh,” “Not So Fresh”, and “Best of the Un-Fresh” winners, and good riddance to our “Putrid” representative.

It’s time for the End-of-Season Power Rankings. Note that these Power Rankings reflect this season’s performance and (most important) the outlook for next season based on potential keepers and taxi squad draft picks on the final rosters. Potential keepers, taxi squad players, and taxi squad draft picks are below the description (note that the list is not exhaustive).

A special consideration is our upcoming reset in 2025, which changes the outlook for many managers. This will be reflected in the chaos of the Power Rankings. Check out the 2026 Draft Summary to see the players that will not be included in the resest (marked with an asterisk*).
