Fantasy Football Rankings: WRs – 21-40

D.K. Metcalf, WR, Seahawks. Bye: .

DK Metcalf had a great start to his 2024 season, but played hurt down the stretch.

Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos. Bye: .

Courtland Sutton had 1,081 yards despite playing with a rookie. Sutton’s arrow is pointing up with Bo Nix having experience.

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

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had some nice moments as a rookie. He became the primary receiver down the stretch, althouh DK Metcalf was dealing with an injury.

Garrett Wilson, WR, Jets. Bye: .

Garrrett Wilson quietly logged 101 receptions last year. His outlook depends on what happens at quarterback.

Jaylen Waddle, WR, Dolphins. Bye: .

Jaylen Waddle was greatly impacted by Miami’s injured offensive line. He’ll bounce back in 2025 if Miami repairs its blocking and can take more shots downfield.

DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles. Bye: .

DeVonta Smith is an inconsistent fantasy option with huge upside, especially if A.J. Brown gets hurt.

Jalen McMillan, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: .

Jalen McMillan got off to a slow start, but was hot down the stretch. He’ll be a viable option next year if Chris Godwin leaves.

Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens. Bye: .

Zay Flowers had some big games in 2024. He should continue to improve with more experience.

Rashid Shaheed was a dynamic deep threat in 2023. He became so much more consistent in 2024, but his season ended after just six games.

Tetairoa McMillan is the top pure receiver in the draft. He should be great right away.

Ricky Pearsall, WR, 49ers. Bye: .

Ricky Pearsall was my top sleeper last year until he got shot. He’ll have a big role in 2025.

Jayden Reed, WR, Packers. Bye: .

Jayden Reed had some great games last year, but also vanished for long stretches.

Jameson Williams, WR, Lions. Bye: .

Jameson Williams finally lived up to his potential as a big-play threat.

Josh Downs, WR, Colts. Bye: .

Josh Downs had some great performances last year when Anthony Richardson wasn’t the quarterback. Richardson will continue to hinder his production.

Xavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs. Bye: .

Xavier Worthy had some struggles to start his career, but he improved as his rookie season progressed.

Chris Olave, WR, Saints. Bye: .

Chris Olave was able to gel with Derek Carr, but the two didn’t play very much together last year. Olave’s concussions are a concern.

Rashee Rice was stellar as a second-round rookie. He looked like he was going to have a great sophomore campaign, but he hurt his knee in Week 4.

George Pickens, WR, Steelers. Bye: .

George Pickens is a talented deep threat, but is stuck playing with terrible quarterbacks.

Calvin Ridley, WR, Titans. Bye: .

Calvin Ridley hit 1,000 yards last season, but did so mostly in garbage time.

Rome Odunze, WR, Bears. Bye: .

Rome Odunze didn’t have a great rookie year, but a lot of that was on Caleb Williams. Odunze has big-play upside.
