2013 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers (May 24):
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-50 |

Calvin Johnson, WR, Lions. Bye: 9.
Calvin Johnson broke Jerry Rice's all-time record for yardage in a single season, but he frustrated his fantasy owners by scoring just five touchdowns. This was a fluke, however, as there were so many instances where Megatron was tackled at the 1-yard line. I expect him to rebound with double-digit scores in 2013.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 101 catches. 1,700 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 236.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 337.
A.J. Green, WR, Bengals. Bye: 12.
A.J. Green was one of the NFL's hottest receivers in the first half of the season last year, snagging a touchdown in nine consecutive games. However, he scored just once after Week 11. There's some concern there, and Tyler Eifert's presence will take away some end zone targets, but Green remains a top-three fantasy wideout.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 95 catches. 1,380 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 204.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 299.
Dez Bryant, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 11.
Dez Bryant was unstoppable down the stretch. Beginning in Week 10, he caught 50 passes for 879 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final eight games. This translates to 100 receptions for 1,758 yards and 20 scores over a whole season. He obviously won't hit those numbers, but he's a top-three fantasy receiver because things have finally clicked for him.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 90 catches. 1,350 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 201.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 291.
Brandon Marshall, WR, Bears. Bye: 8.
Brandon Marshall is a PPR machine. Being Jay Cutler's only viable option last year, Marshall was targeted more than any receiver in the NFL. His catches will go down this season with Martellus Bennett in the mix, but he's still the No. 2 PPR wideout behind Calvin Johnson.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 107 catches. 1,390 yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 199.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 306.
Julio Jones, WR, Falcons. Bye: 6.
Julio Jones caught 79 balls for 1,198 yards and 10 touchdowns last year, but was extremely hot down the stretch. He scored five times between Weeks 12 and 16 and then logged 11 receptions for 182 yards and two touchdowns in the NFC Championship. Now in his third year, Jones has cemented his status as a top fantasy receiver.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 81 catches. 1,220 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 188.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 269.
Demaryius Thomas, WR, Broncos. Bye: 9.
Demaryius Thomas will see fewer targets with Wes Welker in the mix. Thomas is less likely to be affected than Eric Decker though. He'll still be a middling fantasy WR1 option as long as Peyton Manning is throwing the ball to him.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 87 catches. 1,340 yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 188.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 275.
Victor Cruz, WR, Giants. Bye: 9.
Victor Cruz had a monstrous start to his 2012 campaign, scoring seven touchdowns in the first seven weeks. He fizzled out after that because of Eli Manning's reported arm fatigue, but he should be able to return as a top-10 fantasy wideout as long as Manning is 100 percent again.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 1,330 yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 187.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 271.
Percy Harvin, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 12.
Percy Harvin gets to go from Christian Ponder to Russell Wilson. Think that's a bit of an upgrade? Harvin, who missed just three games in three seasons prior to 2012, isn't a big touchdown producer, but he accumulates tons of yardage (he's good for about 200 rushing yards). Move him up a couple of spots if your league counts return stats.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 89 catches. 1,370 total yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 185.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 274.
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals. Bye: 9.
Larry Fitzgerald must be happy. After enduring the awful quarterbacking of John Skelton and Ryan Lindley last year, Fitzgerald now has Carson Palmer throwing to him. Palmer is nowhere near the quarterback he once was obviously, but he's still good enough to get the ball downfield consistently to his wideouts. Fitzgerald is a top-10 receiver again.

Projected 2013 Fantasy Stats: 82 catches. 1,300 yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2013 Fantasy Points: 184.
Projected 2013 PPR Fantasy Points: 266.
Roddy White, WR, Falcons. Bye: 6.
Roddy White is no longer a WR1 option because Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez have taken away his end zone targets, but he's still a strong fantasy WR2. He hauled in 92 receptions for 1,351 yards and seven touchdowns in 2012. The big concern is that he'll be 32 in November, but he should be fine for at least one more season.

Wait...roddy white isn't a #1 anymore, but he's a top 10 WR? Makes no sense.

Crabtree most likely will be out for the season but back for the post-season. Contract year for him and this happens, bummer. Wonder if AJ Jenkins steps up or Patton steals the show.

Anyway, time to put Mike Wallace in top 15 since this has happened. Agreed Walt? Lol

Torn Achilles for Crabtree. Bump everyone up a spot.

I'm in a ppr keeper league where you keep 1 player in the round you drafted him last year.
up Doug Martin in the 5th
down Dez Bryant in the 4th

really? 05-21-2013 10:19 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.217 (total posts: 1)

Randall Cobb is a top receiver. So how is he not in the top 10? aaron Rodgers is his qb, and greg Jennings is out. plus, cobb can do everything.

Really Walt, where is Mike Wallace. 2nd year players over him? The guy has 32TDs in 4 years, he has to be at least in the top 30. I don't understand.

Yea im only getting 1-20

How does everyone know Wallace is #41? I am not seeing anything past #20 here.

WHERE AM I?

@Dave 05-20-2013 12:54 pm xxx.xxx.xxx3.41 (total posts: 1)

AJ is not the WR he once was. The yards are cool and all, but I would feel more comfortable with a WR who scores more TDs. Especially with that same team being more running based.

Dave Texans Fan!!! 05-20-2013 12:22 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.103 (total posts: 1)

Andre Johnson #12???? You know he was 2nd in the NFL last year in yards right? And yea, he doesn't score a ton of TD's but thats because Foster gets like 20 td's a season himself.

@mike 05-20-2013 07:11 am xxx.xxx.xxx.247 (total posts: 1)

It depends. If you only get one keeper, take Doug Martin. Otherwise, you are keeping a different running back and should try to keep the other running back and Calvin Johnson.
