Fantasy Football Rankings: WRs – 41-60

Brian Thomas, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 12.

Brian Thomas is a raw receiver, but has high upside. He’ll have to battle lots of players for targets and snaps right away.

Ladd McConkey, WR, Chargers. Bye: 5.

Justin Herbert is developing a connection with Ladd McConkey, according to reports. McConkey has been practicing out of the slot with the first-team offense, which was Keenan Allen’s role in the past.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 10.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had some nice moments as a rookie. He’ll supplant Tyler Lockett as the No. 2 receiver this year.

Joshua Palmer, WR, Chargers. Bye: 5.

Joshua Palmer has proven that he can be productive when one of Keenan Allen or Mike Williams are out of the lineup. Now, both are gone.

Khalil Shakir, WR, Bills. Bye: 12.

Khalil Shakir has a chance to be Josh Allen’s No. 1 receiver this year.

Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Jordan Addison performed well as a rookie last year. He’ll be better in real life in his second year, but his stats may not show it because of poor quarterbacking.

Rashid Shaheed, WR, Saints. Bye: 12.

Rashid Shaheed became a consistent presence for Derek Carr after being just a deep threat as a rookie. He should continue to develop well.

Mike Williams, WR, Jets. Bye: 12.

Mike Williams has a major problem staying healthy. He’s great when he’s available, but that’s a rare thing these days. He’s coming off a torn ACL, so he should be avoided.

Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 11.

There was a chance Chris Godwin would be Tampa’s No. 1 receiver if Mike Evans left via free agency, but Evans returned.

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Titans. Bye: 5.

DeAndre Hopkins suffered a high ankle sprain and will be out 4-6 weeks. He may miss the first game or two of the regular season.

Romeo Doubs, WR, Packers. Bye: 10.

Romeo Doubs didn’t do much in the regular season, but exploded with two great performances in the playoffs.

Gabriel Davis, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 12.

Gabe Davis continued to be an inconsistent deep threat. He’s much better in best-ball formats.

Adonai Mitchell, WR, Colts. Bye: 14.

Adonai Mitchell saw the most targets from Anthony Richardson in the preseason finale. This is a very significant development, as Mitchell becomes a very intriguing late-round fantasy flier. Mitchell’s first reception was a short toss in which he picked up nine yards thanks to some good blocking. He then caught another short pass and scored a touchdown.

Josh Downs, WR, Colts. Bye: 14.

Josh Downs was able to rack up plenty of receptions in his rookie season.

Rome Odunze, WR, Bears. Bye: 7.

Rome Odunze is a talented receiver, but landed in a bad short-term situation because he’ll be in a very crowded Bears receiving room.

Jerry Jeudy, WR, Browns. Bye: 10.

Jerry Jeudy is now on the Browns, but he’ll likely continue to disappoint on his new team.

Jahan Dotson, WR, Eagles. Bye: 5.

Jahan Dotson has been traded to the Eagles. He’ll have a chance to be more productive in an explosive offense, especially if one of A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith were to get injured.

Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos. Bye: 14.

Courtland Sutton was Denver’s top receiver last year, though that’s not saying much. Playing with a rookie quarterback is not ideal.

Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 10.

Tyler Lockett failed to reach 1,000 yards for the first time since 2018. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s role bound to grow, Lockett will continue to regress.

Dontayvion Wicks, WR, Packers. Bye: 10.

Dontayvion Wicks had some big games as a rookie, particularly when Christian Watson was sidelined. He has some serious upside.
