Fantasy Football Week 1 Rankings – Wide Receivers HALFPPR

To differentiate between all the “Start ‘Ems” on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy WR rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a HALFPPR scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

Updated 9/19/2023 6:46:48 AM – Follow @walterfootball for updates.
  1. Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings (vs. Chargers)- 20 Points
    7 Catches, 100 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Justin Jefferson is a no-brainer play, especially in this soft matchup.

  2. Stefon Diggs, WR, Bills (at Redskins)- 17 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Stefon Diggs didn’t have the best game last week, so he should see more targets tin this matchup.

  3. Calvin Ridley, WR, Jaguars (vs. Texans)- 17 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Calvin Ridley should bounce back from last week’s dud performance in which he dropped two passes.

  4. Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Bengals (vs. Rams)- 16 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Ja’Marr Chase status obviously hinges on Joe Burrow’s health.

  5. A.J. Brown, WR, Eagles (at Buccaneers)- 16 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    A.J. Brown figures to thrive against the Buccaneers, especially after such a down week.

  6. Keenan Allen, WR, Chargers (at Vikings)- 15 Points
    8 Catches, 100 Receiving Yards.
    Enjoy Keenan Allen while he’s healthy! He should perform well versus the Vikings.

  7. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys (at Cardinals)- 15 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    CeeDee Lamb will be going against a terrible secondary.

  8. Tyreek Hill, WR, Dolphins (vs. Broncos)- 15 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Tyreek Hill can explode in any matchup, particularly one where the opposing defense can’t rush the passer.

  9. Davante Adams, WR, Raiders (vs. Steelers)- 15 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Davante Adams got hurt against the Bills, so his status is unknown.

  10. Garrett Wilson, WR, Jets (vs. Patriots)- 14 Points
    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Garrett Wilson figures to be a top receiver most weeks, even with Aaron Rodgers sidelined.

  11. Brandon Aiyuk, WR, 49ers (vs. Giants)- 12 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Brandon Aiyuk can continue to dominate in an easy matchup.

  12. Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers (vs. Giants)- 12 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Deebo Samuel is a great player, but he’s behind Brandon Aiyuk in the pecking order unless he’s running the ball.

  13. Mike Williams, WR, Chargers (at Vikings)- 12 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    The Chargers will go deep more frequently with Kellen Moore as the offensive coordinator, so that should benefit Mike Williams.

  14. D.K. Metcalf, WR, Seahawks (vs. Panthers)- 12 Points
    7 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    D.K. Metcalf should thrive with the Seahawks potentially playing from behind.

  15. George Pickens, WR, Steelers (at Raiders)- 12 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Kenny Pickett loves throwing to George Pickens, who will have an increased target share with Diontae Johnson hurt.

  16. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Broncos (at Dolphins)- 11 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Jerry Jeudy figures to be healthier and more productive this week.

  17. Amari Cooper, WR, Browns (vs. Titans)- 11 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Status unknown after missing Monday’s game. The matchup’s a good one though.

  18. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Dolphins (vs. Broncos)- 11 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Jaylen Waddle could go off if Denver sells out to stop Tyreek Hill.

  19. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Lions (vs. Falcons)- 11 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Amon-Ra St. Brown is a great option if healthy, but it’s unclear if he’ll be 100 percent this week, if he even plays.

  20. Puka Nacua, WR, Rams (at Bengals)- 11 Points
    7 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Puka Nacua should continue to rack up the receptions in the Cooper Kupp role.

  21. Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens (vs. Colts)- 11 Points
    10 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Zay Flowers continues to impress. The Colts won’t be able to contain him.

  22. Gabriel Davis, WR, Bills (at Redskins)- 10 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Gabe Davis figures to take advantage of a team that struggles against the deep pass.

  23. DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles (at Buccaneers)- 10 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    DeVonta Smith is always live for a spike week, though maybe not so much after one.

  24. D.J. Moore, WR, Bears (at Chiefs)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    D.J. Moore will see his production slip a bit because Justin Fields runs so much.

  25. Tee Higgins, WR, Bengals (vs. Rams)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Tee Higgins will likely regress to the mean this week.

  26. Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos (at Dolphins)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Courtland Sutton has an easy matchup versus the Dolphins.

  27. Chris Godwin, WR, Bucs (vs. Eagles)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Chris Godwin is the preferred option with Baker Mayfield having no time to throw.

  28. Mike Evans, WR, Bucs (vs. Eagles)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Mike Evans has a tough matchup for once.

  29. Michael Pittman, WR, Colts (at Ravens)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    The Ravens have injuries in the secondary, so Michael Pittman’s matchup may not be as bad as it initially seems.

  30. Drake London, WR, Falcons (at Lions)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    The Falcons will have to throw more this week, so Drake London should be productive again.

  31. Zay Jones, WR, Jaguars (vs. Texans)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Zay Jones appeared to be ahead of Christian Kirk until last week.

  32. Christian Watson, WR, Packers (vs. Saints)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Status unknown.

  33. Kendrick Bourne, WR, Patriots (at Jets)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Kendrick Bourne saw more targets than anyone last week.

  34. Jakobi Meyers, WR, Raiders (vs. Steelers)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Status unknown.

  35. Terry McLaurin, WR, Redskins (vs. Bills)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Terry McLaurin looked much healthier last week. He’s in play for garbage-time stats this week.

  36. Chris Olave, WR, Saints (at Packers)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Chris Olave has a tough matchup against Jaire Alexander, but I wouldn’t sit him.

  37. Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks (vs. Panthers)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Tyler Lockett could have some production in garbage time.

  38. Tank Dell, WR, Texans (at Jaguars)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Tank Dell broke out last week, and he should continue to see an increased workload.

  39. Nico Collins, WR, Texans (at Jaguars)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Nico Collins does not have much upside, though garbage time could be a thing again.

  40. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Titans (at Browns)- 9 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    DeAndre Hopkins wasn’t quite himself last week. He’ll be better with a week to heal.

  41. Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings (vs. Chargers)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Jordan Addison continues to catch deep passes, and he could have another one against the sorry Chargers.

  42. Marquise Brown, WR, Cardinals (vs. Cowboys)- 8 Points
    5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Marquise Brown’s upside is capped with Kyler Murray sidelined, despite what we saw in Week 2.

  43. Kadarius Toney, WR, Chiefs (vs. Bears)- 8 Points
    5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.


  44. Christian Kirk, WR, Jaguars (vs. Texans)- 8 Points

    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Josh Reynolds can be used if Amon-Ra St. Brown is out.

  46. D.J. Chark, WR, Panthers (at Seahawks)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    D.J. Chark is the only Panther receiver with speed. This is a good matchup.

  47. DeVante Parker, WR, Patriots (at Jets)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.


  48. Tutu Atwell, WR, Rams (at Bengals)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Tutu Atwell figures to take a step backward this week.

  49. Jahan Dotson, WR, Redskins (vs. Bills)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Jahan Dotson should rebound with a good game soon.

  50. Michael Thomas, WR, Saints (at Packers)- 8 Points
    5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Michael Thomas isn’t what he used to be, but he looks to be a solid second receiver.

  51. Diontae Johnson, WR, Steelers (at Raiders)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Diontae Johnson will probably miss this game.

  52. Robert Woods, WR, Texans (at Jaguars)- 8 Points

  85. Skyy Moore, WR, Chiefs (vs. Bears)- 4 Points
    2 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
