Fantasy Football Top 10 Wide Receivers: Tyreek Hill, CeeDee Lamb, Amon-Ra St. Brown and More

I noticed my wide receiver rankings did not closely align with the expert consensus ranking or "ECR". So I decided to post my own top 10 rankings to give a different perspective than what you're most likely seeing copied and pasted everywhere else. The rankings are based on a .5 PPR scoring format. 

10. Nico Collins, Houston Texans
ECR: WR15

Picking the WR10 was shockingly hard. There were a handful of guys I liked here, but ultimately landed on Collins. While all the mouths to feed in Houston do scare me, it wasn't enough to drop Collins outside of my top 10. However, if Brandon Aiyuk does not end up traded, it could drastically change this list. As of now, I expect him to be traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

9. Deebo Samuel Sr., San Francisco 49ers
ECR: WR16

As I just mentioned, I'm willing to call my shot and grab Deebo going off the assumption that Aiyuk will be shipped out of San Fran sooner rather than later. With Aiyuk gone, Samuel has a clear path to a monster fantasy season. His volume will drastically increase as will his fantasy production. There is no one else on the roster or who will be acquired in a trade who can come close to matching the talent of Aiyuk. 

8. Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals
ECR: WR9

It's admittedly a bit scary putting a rookie this high in the rankings. However, the talent and opportunity are undeniable. I've been scouting and grading receivers for a long time now and he graded out in my top three of all-time - in a dead heat with Mike Evans and behind Calvin Johnson, who was in the first class I ever graded back in 2007. Harrison is just too good to rank any lower and has less uncertainty than Samuel. 

7. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings
ECR: WR4

Jefferson is the second-best real-life wide receiver in the NFL. Unfortunately, I can't get past the quarterback situation in Minnesota. Sam Darnold is a disaster and I don't think J.J. McCarthy will be a whole lot better. The offense as a whole will be terrible, which will drive down TD opportunities. It's a massive compliment that he's ranked this high despite everything he'll have to overcome this season. 

6. A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles
ECR: WR6

Brown is awesome. That's all there is to it. I don't have some in-depth analysis other than that he's a physical force who is going to dominate like he always does. The key to this ranking is not to overthink it and trust what he's shown you since entering the league. 

5. Garrett Wilson, New York Jets
ECR: WR7

I'm all in on Wilson this season. He graded out as the top wideout in his draft class and has been held back by historically bad offenses on the Jets. Still, he's managed to perform at a high level and has seen an abundance of volume. No wideout could overcome the dumpster fire that has been the New York Jets since he was drafted. This will be the year that he breaks out and emerges as one of the elite wideouts in the league. 

4. Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals
ECR: WR3

I feel the same way about Chase as I do about Brown. There is no denying his greatness and you know when he's on the field he's going to dominate. At the end of the day, he's simply better than the guy who is trying to cover him no matter who that guy is. If Joe Burrow can stay healthy, a WR1 overall finish is possible for Chase.  

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions
ECR: WR5

Brown has been ascending since entering the league and this is the year he goes from superstar to in the conversation for best wideout in the league. There is nothing he can't do and his insane volume is matched by his incredible efficiency. His floor is 110 receptions, 1,400 yards and eight TDs, and his ceiling is him breaking all-time records similar to what we saw from Cooper Kupp a few years back. 

2. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys
ECR: WR1

Lamb is going to see a ton of volume and will produce accordingly. With the top three wideouts here, you could rank them in any order you wanted, and not many people would argue with you. With that said, Lamb is simply a safer option than St. Brown because we've seen it already, but he's not quite as good as the man who I have in my top spot. 

1. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins
ECR: WR2

Hill is the best wide receiver in the NFL. His speed is simply an ability that can't be matched. No matter who you are, you can't match his speed and it makes him almost impossible to defend. Beyond his speed, he is also in a better system and has a better quarterback than Lamb. There is no wideout I would draft over Hill in a redraft league this year regardless of the scoring format.
