Wide Reciever Rankings PPR

These are the wide receiver rankings for the 2023 fantasy football season based on PPR scoring.

Justin Jefferson – Minnesota Vikings= The safest pick of the group. He does not have an injury history and at the very least will put up good stats each week. He may have one or two down weeks, but he will also have many above-average weeks.
Cooper Kupp – Los Angeles Rams= Kupp was on track to be a top-3 receiver last year until an injury cut his season short. The injury was not severe and if the Rams were competitive he would have come back and played. Look for him to repeat the last two years’ production this year.
Ja’Marr Chase – Cincinnati Bengals
Tyreek Hill – Miami Dolphins
Davante Adams – Las Vegas Raiders= A new quarterback will not change the skill level of Adams.
Stefon Diggs – Buffalo Bills= Some off-season drama involving Diggs not being happy with his usage that should be monitored, but nothing significant.
CeeDee Lamb – Dallas Cowboys
A.J. Brown – Philadelphia Eagles
Garrett Wilson – New York Jets= Wilson excelled last year and won Offensive Rookie of the Year, all while playing with subpar quarterback play. He is getting an upgrade with Aaron Rodgers and is expected to have an even bigger breakout season this year.
Amon-Ra St. Brown – Detroit Lions
Jaylen Waddle – Miami Dolphins
DK Metcalf – Seattle Seahawks
DeVonta Smith – Philadelphia Eagles= A potential WR1 in the WR2 role on a powerhouse offense.
Tee Higgins – Cincinnati Bengals= See Above.
Chris Olave – New Orleans Saints
Keenan Allen – Los Angeles Chargers= Another victim of numerous injuries throughout his career and rarely finishes a whole season. When healthy he is a solid playmaker.
Amari Cooper – Cleveland Browns
DeAndre Hopkins – FA= Where he lands will change the rankings slightly.
Chris Godwin – Tampa Bay Buccaneers= Baker Mayfield
Diontae Johnson – Pittsburgh Steelers= 0. That is how many touchdowns he scored last year. There is only one way to go from there. He demands a high target share and should be the number 1 on Pittsburgh.
Terry McLaurin – Washington Redskins
Deebo Samuel – San Francisco 49ers= Deebo’s value came on rushing plays when the 49ers had questions at running back. After signing a new contract he demanded a decrease in his rushing load. They also signed Christian McCaffrey. His value is trending down.
Christian Watson – Green Bay Packers
Tyler Lockett – Seattle Seahawks
DJ Moore – Chicago Bears
Jerry Jeudy – Denver Broncos= The hope is that Sean Payton will fix Russel Wilson and last year’s stagnant offense will improve. Jeudy looks to be the benefactor if the offense does improve. If it does not significantly improve, this may be too high of a ranking for Jeudy.
Michael Pittman – Indianapolis Colts= Pittman will now be receiving catches from a rookie quarterback who, at the very least, has to improve his throwing fundamentals. Pittman is a talented receiver but he is going to be limited by passing offense for the Colts.
Mike Williams – Los Angeles Chargers= A roller coaster of a fantasy football player. If you have him you have to start him, but he is going to have a really good game or a really bad game. Flip a coin on when to start him.
Mike Evans – Tampa Bay Buccaneers= Again…Baker Mayfield.
Calvin Ridley – Jacksonville Jaguars= Two years ago Ridley was a top-12 receiver for the Falcons. The following season an injury ended his season, and last year he was suspended the full year for gambling. If Ridley is able to look like his old self he is very capable of moving into the top 20 or better.
Jahan Dotson – Washington Redskins= Dotson should be ranked higher based on our projections. He is a breakout candidate after a promising rookie year. He has an unproven quarterback that factors into his gameplay. Although Washington will be trailing a lot of games and will throw a lot.
Brandon Aiyuk – San Francisco 49ers
Drake London – Atlanta Falcons= London has the talent to be a WR1, but he is on a team that is run-first and a quarterback that did not look impressive last year.
Marquise Brown – Arizona Cardinals
Treylon Burks – Tennessee Titans= Burks is the clear number 1 at Tennessee. That is not saying a lot, but with Tannehill coming back from injury, and if he can stay healthy, Burks is on the border of a potential breakout candidate.
Christian Kirk – Jacksonville Jaguars
Brandon Cooks – Dallas Cowboys
George Pickens – Pittsburgh Steelers= A special player that can make amazing catches and a deep ball threat. He just does not get the targets to justify a higher ranking.
Jakobi Myers – Las Vegas Raiders
Gabe Davis – Buffalo Bills
Michael Thomas – New Orleans Saints= Once a stud receiver, those days are likely gone. He has missed or played very seldomly the last three years due to injuries. He can be taken as a flier with WR3 potential and some upside.
JuJu Smith-Schuster – New England Patriots
Courtland Sutton – Denver Broncos
Jordan Addison – Minnesota Vikings
Allen Lazard – New York Jets
Kadarius Toney – Kansas City Chiefs
Jaxon Smith-Njigba – Seattle Seahawks= Njigba will be a good or great receiver….in two or three years. He is third on the depth chart with two very good receivers above him. He will be ranked much higher next year.
DJ Chark – Carolina Panthers
Odell Beckham – Baltimore Ravens
Quentin Johnston – Los Angeles Chargers= A rookie who is third or fourth on the receiver depth chart. Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are injury prone, which opens the door to increased usage. Joshua Palmer is an underrated receiver he will fight for targets with.
Nico Collins – Houston Texans= A potential sleeper because he is technically the number one receiver. However, with a rookie quarterback and an offense not expected to move the ball very well, he is a dart throw will a good ceiling and a low floor.
Rashod Bateman – Baltimore Ravens
Elijah Moore – Cleveland Browns
Michael Gallup – Dallas Cowboys
Skyy Moore – Kansas City Chiefs= Last year he showed flashes in his rookie season, and he plays with the best quarterback in the game.
