Player B’s Scoring
\n\n PPR - WR16Chase Claypool is Player A and JuJu Smith-Schuster is Player B. Claypool only had 62 catches last year, but he had 873 yards and 11 total touchdowns from scrimmage. Smith-Schuster, meanwhile, had 97 catches but for only 831 yards and 9 touchdowns. Whether you were in a standard or PPR league, it drastically altered which of the two Steelers’ teammate was more valuable to your team. Make sure you know what scoring format your league uses.

2020 was another exciting season of offensive play in the NFL and there were some elite wide receivers who stole the show in fantasy football. Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill stood out among the rest, but Stefon Diggs, Calvin Ridley, D.K. Metcalf, Justin Jefferson, and DeAndre Hopkins were among the many to turn in epic seasons. The depth at the position was outstanding, as well, and numerous players had week-winning games throughout the year.
SThis offseason, lots of wide receivers have changed teams in free agency. Julio Jones is now on the Titans, Kenny Golladay is now on the Giants, Marvin Jones is now on the Jaguars, Will Fuller V is now on the Dolphins, Corey Davis is now on the Jets, and Nelson Agholor is now on the Patriots. These receivers all have a wide range of outcomes for this season and it will be interesting to see how they perform in their new cities.
NFL teams now have three or four wide receivers who will play a major role in the offense week-to-week, which provides more depth at this position than any other in fantasy football. As such, lineups with three starting wide receivers are becoming more common in fantasy leagues. It’s also important to make note of whether or not your league utilizes half-PPR or PPR scoring, as this vital information will help you know which receivers are most relevant. Adding points for catches helps make wide receivers who catch passes but don’t necessarily score touchdowns more relevant.
There will always be late-round wide receivers who explode in fantasy football and help managers win their league. Many of these late-round wideouts can be rookies who break out towards the end of the year. Last season, Justin Jefferson was a 12th-round pick by ADP last year and was undrafted in many leagues - he finished as a top-ten wideout as a rookie. Chase Claypool was also very productive in his rookie season, as were CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aiyuk. While this was an especially talented rookie class, it showed that you shouldn’t completely discount rookie receivers in fantasy as we have in the past.
Managers who are drafting at the end of the first round will need to decide whether to take one of the second-tier running backs or one of the top-tier wide receivers. Players like Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, Calvin Ridley, and DeAndre Hopkins are available near the end of the first round and can elevate your week-to-week ceiling in fantasy. However, there are plenty of mid-round wide receivers who I love this season such as Cooper Kupp, Tyler Lockett, D.J. Moore, Chris Godwin, and Brandon Aiyuk. The drop-off at running back is much more significant and you can land reliable starters later on at wide receiver.
There are a number of wide receivers who can be drafted with confidence early on this season, and guys like Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, and DeAndre Hopkins have been consistently elite. Stefon Diggs has joined that top tier after a breakthrough season in his first year with the Bills. Young wide receivers such as Calvin Ridley, Justin Jefferson, A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf, and Terry McLaurin are on the cusp of joining this group, as well.
While there are a number of wide receivers who I like in the first or second round this year, I don’t have to think too hard to decide that Davante Adams is my favorite. He finished as the WR1 last year despite missing two games and is attached to one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Aaron Rodgers. Adams and Rodgers posted an image of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen on Instagram over the offseason, and if this is their “Last Dance”, it’s going to lead to a heap of fantasy points.
Generally, a fantasy league is going to roster between two and four wide receivers. You have your FLEX spots that can include a wide receiver, but it also depends on if you have to roster two or three true wide receiver spots. Either way, having some depth at the position is not a bad idea. It gives you options on a week-to-week basis, where receivers can be more matchup dependent than other positions. It gives you the flexibility to start someone against a weaker defense that was on your bench over a weekly starter who is in a matchup against the top secondary in the league. I would shoot between 5-7 wide receivers on a standard roster. Once the season gets going and
When looking at your WR1, you are going to want a player who brings you stability on a weekly basis. They can get to that 14-15 fantasy point mark generally without having to find the end zone to get there. DeAndre Hopkins is great at this as he averaged 7.1 catches for 87.9 yards last season. This puts you on a weekly floor of about 16 fantasy points in PPR leagues. Hopkins is also a great mix of upside because he has those games where he can produce 100+ receiving yards and find the end zone. Generally, the Tier One and Two receivers are going to give you that perfect balance.
Now looking at the position as a whole, volume is your best friend. It is no surprise to see most of the top scorers also rank high in
Red zone targets are also something to keep an eye on, as you can find most of the big named fantasy scorers were also high in red zone targets. Teams with bad defenses also can produce more fantasy points in the passing game. We saw a lot of fantasy-relevant wide receivers from teams with bad defenses for that reason. Teams that throw a low amount, you have to focus on where the volume is going. Minnesota doesn’t throw a ton, but Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen get the bulk of it.
There are three different popular fantasy football formats including standard, half-PPR, and full PPR. Each of the three will alter the projections and rankings of fantasy players. Here’s an example of how drastically the rankings can be affected, with two 2020 players used:
Player A’s Scoring
PPR - WR23Player B’s Scoring
PPR - WR16Chase Claypool is Player A and JuJu Smith-Schuster is Player B. Claypool only had 62 catches last year, but he had 873 yards and 11 total touchdowns from scrimmage. Smith-Schuster, meanwhile, had 97 catches but for only 831 yards and 9 touchdowns. Whether you were in a standard or PPR league, it drastically altered which of the two Steelers’ teammate was more valuable to your team. Make sure you know what scoring format your league uses.
