Fantasy Football Top 30 Wide Receiver Rankings: Tyreek Hill Tops List, Brandon Aiyuk in Top 10 and More

Last week, I started a series where I ranked my top fantasy football players for the 2024 season. I began by ranking starting quarterbacks and then gave my top-30 PPR running backs.

Today, I’ll cover my top-30 PPR wide receivers. That covers standard league starting options and a flex player. Let’s get right to it!

1. Tyreek Hill

If you’ve been reading our preseason coverage, you know I prefer Hill at pick No. 2. He’s had two uber-productive seasons in Miami, and there’s no reason to believe he’ll take a step back this season. 

2. CeeDee Lamb

Lamb got a late start to his preseason work as he waited for a deal, but the reason I take him behind Hill is because the Dallas wideout hasn’t been doing it as long. It’s super close, but I think Hill edges Lamb for PPR WR1 this season.

3. Ja'Marr Chase

I like Chase in the third spot. He performed pretty well for not having Joe Burrow around last season, and now the starting quarterback is healthy again. With a couple playmakers from previous teams now gone, I expect a monster season from Chase.

4. Amon-Ra St. Brown

It almost feels wrong to have St. Brown in the No. 4 spot, but I have him here because his offense has more weapons then the previous three wideouts on my list. ARSB is still in store for a huge fantasy season and is definitely worth a first-round pick.

5. A.J. Brown

Brown is another first-round pick, but on the latter end of things. The only real difference from last year’s Eagles’ offense is adding in Saquon Barkley, but I still think Brown will get his fantasy points and be a top-five option.

6. Garrett Wilson

I think Wilson takes a big leap forward with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball, and think Wilson could be picked late in round one as well. Wilson put up good fantasy totals without Rodgers, and he’s got upside to be a top-three fantasy guy this season.

7. Justin Jefferson

I’m not as high on Jefferson as others. He performed fine without Kirk Cousins around last season, but now he has to do it for a full season, and I just don’t think Sam Darnold is good enough to have Jefferson any higher on this list. He might rack up a ton of catches, but I think his yardage and touchdowns suffer with Darnold throwing to him.

8. Marvin Harrison Jr.

I really like Harrison going into his rookie season, and think I still might be ranking him too low. He’s got a good quarterback in Kyler Murray and not a lot of proven pass catchers around him - Harrison should be an instant fantasy star.

9. Puka Nacua

Nacua is dealing with an injury right now, otherwise he might also be higher on my list. He had an outstanding rookie season and should serve as a top-end PPR option this season, even if he’s not 100% right away.

10. Brandon Aiyuk

All the trade rumors around Aiyuk are really making people forget how good of a fantasy option Aiyuk was last season. If he’s traded to another team, he should be the clear No. 1 option, and be a fantasy star. There’s more competition for touches in San Fran, but with Christian McCaffrey already dealing with an injury and unlikely to be as great as last season, someone has to pick up the slack, and I see Aiyuk being that guy.

11. Mike Evans

This might seem high for Evans, but he was seventh last season at the position in PPR formats. I see a little touchdown regression coming, so I bumped him down a few slots. Evans is about as reliable a fantasy receiver as there is out there and that’s why I’m so confident in him again this season.

12. Michael Pittman 

On a per-game basis, Pittman was a top-15 PPR option last season. Having one quarterback (Anthony Richardson) should help Pittman to an even better season, and he’s the only proven pass catcher on the team.

13. Davante Adams

Adams was a top-10 finisher in PPR leagues last season, and has a better quarterback situation going into this season. He could finish even higher if the team struggles early and decides to trade Adams to a contender.

14. Deebo Samuel Sr.

Samuel should be in store for a big season as he looks to cash in with one more big deal. The team finds ways to get him the ball, and that makes him a great fantasy asset, even with so many other mouths to feed.

15. Nico Collins

Collins was a PPR star in per-game scoring last season, but now has more playmakers around him. I still think Collins will be the go-to guy for C.J. Stroud, and that’ll make him a top-15 option.

16. Chris Olave

Olave is in a good situation as his team’s clear No. 1, but with Derek Carr throwing him the ball, I can’t put him any higher. His heavy workload alone should be enough to put him into this kind of spot by the end of the season.

17. DK Metcalf

Metcalf’s situation in Seattle is pretty much the same as a season ago, but with Tyler Lockett likely stepping back to the No. 3 WR behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. I still think Metcalf easily leads the team and finishes as a top-20 PPR option as a result.

18. Jaylen Waddle

I’m higher on Waddle than most, and think he’s going to outscore several clear No. 1 WRs. All he needs to do is stay healthy, and a top-15 finish isn’t hard to believe.

19. DeVonta Smith

I also like Smith even though he’s his team’s No. 2 guy. He’ll still get his in an offense that should be better now that Barkley can add something to the running game.

20. Amari Cooper

I’m also higher on Cooper than most. He’s the clear No. 1 option for a pretty good offense - all he needs is for Deshaun Watson to stay healthy and he should be in store for a big season. I give him a big bump up because he only caught five touchdowns last season, and I expect him to get more this season.

21. D.J. Moore

Moore has more playmakers around him than last season, but likely a better quarterback too. Even though he might not dominate the targets like in 2023, I expect Moore to be in the running for a top-20 spot in PPR leagues.

22. Cooper Kupp

Kupp is being overdrafted in my opinion, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t in the running to be a top-20 PPR receiver. He’s on the back nine of his career, but he’ll still rack up the catches as long as he’s on the field.

23. Stefon Diggs

Diggs moves from being a clear No. 1 option to a team with a No. 1 already, and a pretty good third option in Tank Dell. Diggs is also being overdrafted, but he’ll likely still be startable every week.

24. Drake London

I am not nearly as high on London as others are. Sure, he’s got a better quarterback throwing to him, but London really hasn’t delivered great numbers yet. I’m letting someone else draft him early and then trying to buy low on him when he starts slow.

25. Terry McLaurin

I wanted to put McLaurin higher, but couldn’t with a rookie QB throwing to him. McLaurin is really the only proven wideout the Commanders have, and I think Jayden Daniels looks his way early and often this year.

26. Zay Flowers

Flowers should be the easy choice as WR1 in Baltimore, but with Mark Andrews healthy, he won’t dominate targets like he could last season. I do expect Flowers to grow in year two, so he’s slightly ahead of his ADP.

27. Tee Higgins 

Higgins is a player I felt like could go a lot higher, but several missed games over his career has me slotting him in 27th instead. He’s a big bounceback candidate now that Burrow is healthy.

28. Christian Kirk

I like Kirk a good deal this season, not because Trevor Lawrence is throwing to him, but because he’s got the most experience with the QB. Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. will factor in at some point, but I still think Kirk lands in the top 30 by the end of the season.

29. George Pickens

I debated dropping Pickens out of the top 30 because of his QB situation, but there’s really nobody else to throw to in Pittsburgh, so on volume alone, Pickens deserves a top 30 spot. It might be a lot of garbage-time production, but it counts all the same.

30. Keenan Allen

I just had to slip Allen into the top 30. Yes he’s older, yes he’s on a team with several good pass-catching options, but a veteran like Allen working the slot for a rookie quarterback seems like a great match. I don’t have him finishing way above his ADP, but his play will surprise a lot of people this season.
