Fantasy Football WR Draft Rankings

I have always wanted to play in a fantasy football league where I could pick my formation for my line up. I would do 5 wide, with a wildcat QB that was naturally a wide receiver. Who needs an RB, TE, or even a QB for that matter. In case you could not tell I love wide receivers. I think I love them so much because I find them to be more reliable than most positions. Probably why I love the zero running back draft strategy as well. Either way, my love for wide receivers has served me well. Below you will find my rankings for PPR wide receivers.

RankPlayer NameTeamBye WeekComment
1Antonio BrownPIT8Sometimes I think he is the only receiver running routes in Pitt
2Julio JonesATL11He just takes what he wants.
3Odell Beckham Jr.NYG8Catches everything and has a hard time being caught.
4Allen RobinsonJAC5Not worried about a regression, he is still the best weapon the Jags have.
5A.J. GreenCIN9Just does his thing every year.
6DeAndre HopkinsHOU9Moved him down a little because they wont have to lean on him so much.
7Dez BryantDAL7Just saw Romo out 6 - 10 weeks, does not concern me at all.
8Brandon MarshallNYJ11He was Fitz go to guy last year and that wont change.
9Keenan AllenSD11He was on pace for 134/1450/8 last year. He could easily be top 5
10Mike EvansTB6If he holds onto the ball he could have a year we all expected him to have last year.
11Amari CooperOAK10Such a polished route runner, well ahead of his years.
12Brandin CooksNO5Brees favorite target in a pass happy offense.
13Jarvis LandryMIA8TD's keeping him from being a top 5 WR.
14T.Y. HiltonIND10Took a big hit without Luck, but this is a new year.
15Jordy NelsonGB4I want to put him higher but I need to see something first.
16Alshon JefferyCHI9Falling fast for me. The Bears do not look good and I think they have moved on in their minds regarding him.
17Demaryius ThomasDEN11QB situation hurting him, but he should still produce.
18Sammy WatkinsBUF10Only this low because he is injured too often.
19Julian EdelmanNE94 games without Tom might hurt more than we think.
20Randall CobbGB4As long as Jordy is back he will be better too.
21Golden TateDET10Always had good games when Megatron sat. Now he has the whole year to show what he can do.
22Eric DeckerNYJ11TD machine last year, and it shouldn't change
23Jeremy MaclinKC5Had a very solid year last year and he should repeat.
24Doug BaldwinSEA5Regression in TD's nothing else.
25Michael FloydARI9A full year healthy in that offense could be special for him.
26Kelvin BenjaminCAR7Conditioning is a concern here.
27Larry FitzgeraldARI9Yes it feels like he has played forever but he is only 32.
28Donte MoncriefIND10The offense should be better and so should he.

The Professor

I have been playing fantasy football since 1991. My first draft I had the first pick and the first player I ever drafted was Randall Cunningham. I remember that because he broke his leg in the first half of the season. Since then I have been hooked on fantasy football and I have not and will not ever draft a QB in the first round again.
