Fantasy Football Week 1 Rankings: Wide Receivers

With an array of depth at the wide receiver position, there's going to be some tough choices. These are the best ones.

1. CeeDee Lamb

The best receiver in the league, expect Dallas to pass it early and often thanks to a depleted backfield. Cleveland’s secondary is good, but not CeeDee Lamb good.

2. Tyreek Hill

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown

4. Garrett Wilson

With a (hopefully) healthy Aaron Rodgers, Wilson can finally have his breakout. Rodgers always favors his WR1, so expect a massive season from Wilson, starting strong early against an average San Francisco secondary.

5. Justin Jefferson

6. Puka Nacua

7. Nico Collins

8. Cooper Kupp

While having two receivers in the top 10 is a bold take, Stafford plays hard against Detroit, so expect his two favorite receivers to have a field day. Cooper Kupp is this team’s best receiver when healthy, so expect no less than a top 12 finish this week.

9. AJ Brown

10. Drake London

11. Rashee Rice

12. Chris Olave

13. Jaylen Waddle

14. Devonta Smith

One of the best WR2s in the league, and with the game-plan looking to have him back in the slot, Smith has a real chance to breakout as a top option. If Jaire Alexander is able to contest AJ Brown, Smith could have a field day in Brazil.

15. Ja’Marr Chase

16. Mike Evans

17. Marvin Harrison Jr.

18. Tee Higgins

Following contract disputes all off-season for Ja’Marr Chase, the superstar receiver still hasn’t shown up for camp. This puts Tee Higgins in a prime position to perform in his potential absence. If he does play, expect second year cornerback Christian Gonzalez to lineup opposite of him, a player who managed to keep even Tyreek Hill in check in his rookie year. Expect Tee Higgins to benefit no matter what.

19. Stefon Diggs

20. DK Metcalf

21. DJ Moore

22. Davante Adams

23. Deebo Samuel

24. Michael Pittman

In what will be a run-first offense all season, Michael Pittman may not live up to his current expectations. Thankfully for him, week 1 presents Indy with a matchup that they’ll likely be behind often in, meaning they may need to rely on Pittman to keep them alive late. Temper season long expectations, but start him with confidence here.
