Two of the other three - Mike Evans and Tee Higgins - finished 13th and 14th, respectively, in fantasy points per game (FPPG) among receivers who played at least nine games. In 2022, nine of the 12 wide receivers with ADPs in the WR1 range finished as WR1s in fantasy points per game (half-point PPR). Rarely do we ever see receivers come out of the fog to finish in WR1 range. But Wilson was still only a midrange WR2. Garrett Wilson was a rare exception last season, finishing WR19 after having an ADP of WR59. It’s far less common to see wide receivers emerge from the middle and late rounds of fantasy drafts and make an impact. Rhamondre Stevenson‘s ADP was RB35, and he finished RB11. Jamaal Williams‘ ADP was RB53, and he finished RB8. Tony Pollard‘s average draft position (ADP) last year was RB30, and he finished RB7 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. We routinely see running backs taken in the mid to late rounds of fantasy drafts emerge as impactful performers. Ideally, four of your first six picks will be receivers. In 3WR leagues, at least three of your first five draft picks should be wide receivers. If you’re the one being overwhelmed at the WR position on a weekly basis, your chances of making the fantasy playoffs will be slim.
If you’re able to overwhelm opponents at the WR position, you can ham-and-egg it at one or two of the other positions and still have a powerhouse team. In leagues where you have to start three receivers, it’s imperative to stay ahead of the curve at the position. In leagues where you’re required to start only two receivers, it’s OK to simply keep up with the competition at wide receiver as long as you’re building positional advantages elsewhere. That percentage would jump to 50% if you put a WR in the flex spot. How important is the WR position in 3WR leagues? Think of it this way: If your league requires you to start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE and 1 FLEX, at least 37.5% of your non-defense, non-kicker starters will be WRs. Ideally, your WR4 will be better than everyone else’s WR3 and maybe even better than some people’s WR2. Your goal should be to overwhelm your competitors at wide receiver. In a league that requires you to start three wide receivers, you should hammer the WR position early. Your goal should be to amass a formidable collection of high-scoring receivers, particularly if your league requires you to start three WRs every week. Only 21 receivers hit the 1,000-yard mark. Only 26 receivers scored more than 5 touchdowns. Only 32 receivers drew at least 100 targets. Only 29 receivers played at least 10 games and averaged double-digit points in half-point point per reception (PPR) scoring last season.
We need points, and the number of receivers who reliably deliver significant point totals is smaller than some fantasy managers think. NFL offenses frequently use three-receiver sets, and some NFL teams have three fantasy-viable receivers.īut we need our wide receivers to do more than just get exercise by running routes with nothing to show for it.
There are 32 NFL teams, after all, and each team starts at least two wide receivers. The WR position is only deep in the sense that a lot of wide receivers get significant playing time.
