Fantasy Football Week 1 Rankings – Wide Receivers PPR

Walt19 mins
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 PPR scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

  1. Tyreek Hill, WR, Dolphins (vs. Jaguars)- 30 Points
    8 Catches, 130 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Tyreek Hill figures to torch the Jaguars.

  2. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys (at Browns)- 27 Points
    7 Catches, 110 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    CeeDee Lamb figures to dominate once again this year, despite the holdout.

  3. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Lions (vs. Rams)- 27 Points
    8 Catches, 100 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Amon-Ra St. Brown will continue to be a PPR machine.

  4. Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings (at Giants)- 27 Points
    7 Catches, 110 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Giants have a horrible secondary, so Justin Jefferson will thrive.

  5. A.J. Brown, WR, Eagles (vs. Packers)- 26 Points
    7 Catches, 100 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    A.J. Brown should dominate the Packers, as Jaire Alexander is not the player he once was.

  6. Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Bengals (vs. Patriots)- 21 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    There’s no more Bill Belichick to eliminate one aspect of an opposing offense.

  7. Nico Collins, WR, Texans (at Colts)- 20 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Nico Collins didn’t have Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell with him when he was crushing at the end of 2023.

  8. Mike Evans, WR, Bucs (vs. Redskins)- 16 Points
    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Mike Evans is 31, so he could begin to slow down.

  9. Rashee Rice, WR, Chiefs (vs. Ravens)- 16 Points
    8 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Rashee Rice will be an excellent option until he’s suspended.

  10. Christian Kirk, WR, Jaguars (at Dolphins)- 16 Points
    7 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Christian Kirk will serve as the top receiver with Calvin Ridley gone.

  11. Puka Nacua, WR, Rams (at Lions)- 16 Points
    7 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Puka Nacua is banged up, but could be fine for Week 1.

  12. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Dolphins (vs. Jaguars)- 15 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    This is a fantastic matchup for Jaylen Waddle.

  13. Drake London, WR, Falcons (vs. Steelers)- 15 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    The Steelers struggled against top receivers last year.

  14. Malik Nabers, WR, Giants (vs. Vikings)- 15 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Malik Nabers has a great matchup to start his career.

  15. Davante Adams, WR, Raiders (at Chargers)- 15 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    I wouldn’t worry about Davante Adams’ quarterbacking.

  16. Terry McLaurin, WR, Redskins (at Buccaneers)- 15 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    A great matchup for Terry McLaurin.

  17. Amari Cooper, WR, Browns (vs. Cowboys)- 14 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Revenge game for Amari Cooper.

  18. DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles (vs. Packers)- 14 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    DeVonta Smith figures to thrive out of the slot this year.

  19. Christian Watson, WR, Packers (vs. Eagles)- 14 Points
    5 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Christian Watson has amazing upside if he can remain healthy.

  20. Diontae Johnson, WR, Panthers (at Saints)- 14 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Diontae Johnson will be the focal point of the passing offense.

  21. Cooper Kupp, WR, Rams (at Lions)- 14 Points
    6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Cooper Kupp will be much healthier to start 2024.

  22. Chris Olave, WR, Saints (vs. Panthers)- 14 Points
    5 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Chris Olave is a great talent, but everything around him sucks.

  23. Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers (vs. Jets)- 13 Points
    10 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Deebo Samuel is the preferred receiver in this matchup.

  24. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals (at Bills)- 13 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Marvin Harrison Jr. should be great, but it’s tough to know what to expect in his first game.

  25. Michael Pittman, WR, Colts (vs. Texans)- 13 Points
    6 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Michael Pittman will continue to rack up the receptions.

  26. Jayden Reed, WR, Packers (vs. Eagles)- 13 Points
    6 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Jayden Reed is a much better receiver for PPR formats.

  27. Stefon Diggs, WR, Texans (at Colts)- 13 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Stefon Diggs will bounce back from his horrible 2023 finish.

  28. Calvin Ridley, WR, Titans (at Bears)- 13 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Calvin Ridley doesn’t have the easiest matchup against Jaylon Johnson this week, but it’s not impossible.

  29. Garrett Wilson, WR, Jets (at 49ers)- 12 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Garrett Wilson will finally have a great quarterback throwing to him.

  30. Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens (at Chiefs)- 12 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Zay Flowers has a tough matchup, but he is still playable on opening night.

  31. D.K. Metcalf, WR, Seahawks (vs. Broncos)- 12 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    D.K. Metcalf has a tough matchup, but you’re still going to play him.

  32. George Pickens, WR, Steelers (at Falcons)- 12 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    George Pickens will look great now that we know Brandon Aiyuk won’t be traded to Pittsburgh.

  33. Tank Dell, WR, Texans (at Colts)- 12 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Tank Dell is the third receiver, but he’ll be heavily involved.

  34. Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings (at Giants)- 12 Points
    5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Jordan Addison will be hurt more by bad quarterback more so than Justin Jefferson.

  35. Chris Godwin, WR, Bucs (vs. Redskins)- 11 Points
    5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Chris Godwin figures to have a strong PPR year in the slot.

  36. Xavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs (vs. Ravens)- 11 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Xavier Worthy has big-play potential, especially with Marquise Brown sidelined.

  37. Brian Thomas, WR, Jaguars (at Dolphins)- 11 Points
    4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Brian Thomas could mirror D.K. Metcalf’s rookie year.

  38. Demario Douglas, WR, Patriots (at Bengals)- 11 Points
    5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Demario Douglas should continue to do well in PPR only.

    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    A tough matchup for D.J. Moore to kick off the season.

    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.


  43. Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos (at Seahawks)- 10 Points
