2018 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers (Sept. 5):
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100
-
Dante Pettis, WR, 49ers. Bye: 11. 
JULY 30 UPDATE: Dante Pettis has been impressive in training camp thus far, according to team reporter Joe Fann. Pettis had some praise earlier in the offseason, so it’s nice to hear that he hasn’t suffered any sort of drop-off. Pettis was the 44th-overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he could have a strong rookie year. I wouldn’t draft him until extremely late just yet, but if he has a strong preseason, I’ll definitely recommend him as a Round 10-12 sleeper.
It’s difficult to trust rookie receivers, and Dante Pettis has a couple of solid players ahead of him on the depth chart in Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin. I wouldn’t draft him this year.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 57 catches. 730 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 123.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 180.
-
D.J. Chark, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 9.
The Jaguars lost their top receiver, Allen Robinson, to free agency. D.J. Chark gets to compete against some mediocre talents at receiver, and he should be able to move up the depth chart quickly. Unfortunately, Blake Bortles’ incompetence will prevent Chark from doing great things.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 730 yards. 5 total TD.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 123.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 174.
-
Anthony Miller, WR, Bears. Bye: 5.
AUG. 19 UPDATE: Rookie receiver Anthony Miller flashed. He saw two targets from Mitchell Trubisky, one of which was a tremendous reception over Bradley Roby for 19 yards. Miller hauled in three passes for 33 yards. He has lots of potential, both in real life and fantasy.
There’s an outside chance Anthony Miller could become Chicago’s No. 2 receiver this season, but I like him better for the long haul. I would not draft him in standard formats this year.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 59 catches. 740 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 123.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 180.
-
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, Packers. Bye: 7.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been the best of the three Packer rookie receivers, though that’s not a guarantee that he’ll see more snaps than the other two.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 54 catches. 780 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 122.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 176.
-
Kevin White, WR, Bears. Bye: 5. 
AUG. 10 UPDATE: Kevin White had a rough 2018 debut. He dropped a ball, but was bailed out by a roughing-the-passer penalty, so it technically didn’t count. Mitchell Trubisky fired passes thrice in White’s direction, but White couldn’t come up with a single reception.
JUNE 8 UPDATE: Mitchell Trubisky told the media that Kevin White has been “hungry,” showing lots of passion. Trubisky also said he “wants to be coached.” White’s career has been very disappointing for a first-round pick, as it’s been laden with injuries and lethargy. However, White seems to be taking his career seriously for the first time, and he’s being coached at a high level with Matt Nagy replacing the inept John Fox.
Kevin White has played in just five of 48 possible games thus far in his career. The Bears are giving White one more chance, and he has been working hard this offseason. Still, it’s very difficult to trust him.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 720 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 122.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 174.
-
Rashard Higgins, WR, Browns. Bye: 11.
Rashard Higgins created a buzz in training camp, but I wanted to see him translate that to live action. That certainly happened, as Higgins caught four passes for 66 yards in his preseason debut. He saw two targets from Tyrod Taylor, so half of his catches came from each quarterback. The announcers of the Browns-Giants game called Higgins the “master of the back-shoulder throw,” as he made multiple such catches. On one instance, Higgins turned Giants cornerback Eli Apple around and caught a back-shoulder pass for a big gain. Higgins may have entered late-round sleeper range, especially in the wake of Josh Gordon’s absence.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 740 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 118.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 171.
-
Albert Wilson, WR, Dolphins. Bye: 11.
The Dolphins gave Albert Wilson $24 million this offseason even though it’s not clear if he’ll even catch 24 passes this year.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 840 total yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 118.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 186.
-
Terrelle Pryor, WR, Jets. Bye: 11.
JUNE 14 UPDATE: Terrelle Pryor’s status for training camp is “up in the air” because of ankle surgery. It’s disappointing that Pryor hasn’t been able to work with Sam Darnold, who seems on track to start Week 1.
I disliked Terrelle Pryor heading into 2017, but I never imagined that he would do so poorly. Pryor caught just 20 passes in 2017 before he was benched. Pryor had 1,007 yards with the Browns in 2016, so perhaps he can rebound in a better situation next year. The Jets don’t seem ideal for Pryor, but keep in mind that he has played well with Josh McCown in the past.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 57 catches. 770 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 117.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 174.
-
Danny Amendola, WR, Dolphins. Bye: 11. 
Ryan Tannehill to Danny Amendola “is going to be a thing in 2018,” according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. Salguero is a top team reporter, and he predicts that Amendola will catch 80-85 passes if he can stay healthy. That last part is the key, as Amendola has been bothered by injuries throughout his career.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 75 catches. 760 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 116.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 191.
-
Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 7.
Tyler Lockett has great potential, but never has been able to live up to it. He caught 45 passes for 555 yards and two touchdowns. Lockett was targeted frequently in the end zone last year, but he couldn’t come up with those receptions. He’ll have a chance to perform better with Paul Richardson gone, but I don’t have high hopes for him.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 66 catches. 870 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 116.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 182.
-
Curtis Samuel, WR, Panthers. Bye: 4.
Curtis Samuel did nothing at the beginning of his rookie campaign, but showed some major potential in Week 10, catching five passes for 45 yards for a portion of a game against Miami. Unfortunately, Samuel suffered a season-ending ankle injury in that contest. Samuel will be much better in 2018, though his potential will be capped because the Panthers use such a run-heavy attack.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 820 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 116.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 176.
-
Dez Bryant, WR, TBA. Bye: 0.
Dez Bryant was woeful this past season, catching just 69 passes for 838 yards and six touchdowns. Bryant couldn’t get separation, and Dak Prescott’s struggles when Tyron Smith got hurt didn’t help. Bryant is a buy-low candidate for sure, but he has to find a home first.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 62 catches. 790 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 115.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 177.
-
Mike Wallace, WR, Eagles. Bye: 9.
JUNE 10 UPDATE: Mike Wallace has “looked the part,” according to Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice. Wallace has been playing with pedestrian quarterbacks of late, but that won’t be the case this year if Carson Wentz is healthy. I wouldn’t draft Wallace until the final rounds, however.
Mike Wallace was Baltimore’s best receiver last year, but that’s not saying much. He caught 52 passes for 748 yards and four touchdowns. Turning 32 in August, Wallace’s best days are long gone, but he has a chance to be a solid contributor with the Eagles.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 64 catches. 850 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 115.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 179.
-
Paul Richardson, WR, Redskins. Bye: 4.
Paul Richardson became Seattle’s No. 2 receiver this past season, and he caught 44 passes for 703 yards and six touchdowns despite Russell Wilson dealing with tons of pressure. Richardson has signed with the Redskins, which doesn’t seem like a good fit because Alex Smith doesn’t take nearly as many downfield shots as Wilson.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 740 total yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 114.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 162.
-
Antonio Callaway, WR, Browns. Bye: 11.
AUG. 10 UPDATE: Fourth-round rookie Antonio Callaway had a nice second-half performance in the exhibition opener. He struggled early, but things turned around for him when he made a great diving catch for a 24-yard gain, which featured him impressively tapping his feet inbounds as he fell out of play. Callaway then scored on a 54-yard slant, breaking away from his defender quite easily. Callaway finished with three catches for 87 yards and a score. Unfortunately, a dark marijuana cloud hangs over him, as he could be suspended because that drug was found in his car.
AUG. 8 UPDATE: Antonio Callaway had been enjoying a strong training camp, but the fourth-round rookie could be suspended after he was cited for marijuana possession. Roger Goodell runs the NFL like a Saudi Arabian dictator, so Callaway could be banned for five years because of this.
One of the reasons the Browns were willing to trade Corey Coleman to the Bills is because rookie receiver Antonio Callaway has been performing well in training camp. I wouldn’t draft Callaway in regular leagues just yet, but I’ll be monitoring him in preseason.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 690 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 113.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 161.
-
Tre McBride, WR, Jets. Bye: 11.
Tre McBride, a seventh-round pick from 2015, has been working ahead of the injured Quincy Enunwa with the first team in practice. McBride has reportedly impressed in training camp, and this has translated to in-game action; McBride tied a team-high figure in targets from Sam Darnold in the second preseason contest, securing both balls for 24 yards. There are worse late-round flier options.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 790 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 113.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 166.
-
Randall Cobb, WR, Packers. Bye: 7.
AUG. 27 UPDATE: The Ringer has reported that the Packers are shopping Randall Cobb. Ian Rapoport disputed it, but where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Cobb has an $8.6 million salary and can never stay healthy. The Packers, who have plenty of young receivers, have shown that they’re not afraid to make bold moves, as they cut Jordy Nelson this offseason. They could release Cobb to save $8.6 million.
Randall Cobb caught 66 passes for 653 yards and four touchdowns in 2017. Not impressive. That said, it’s important to note what Cobb did with Aaron Rodgers in five games: 30 catches for 302 yards and two touchdowns. If you extrapolate that over 16 games, you get 96 receptions, 966 yards and six touchdowns. Those numbers are fair to project for 2018, though Rodgers is always a risk to get hurt again.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 62 catches. 650 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 110.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 172.
-
John Ross, WR, Bengals. Bye: 9.
John Ross didn’t catch a single pass as a rookie, though he played just three games because of a shoulder injury. Ross has great potential, but I’m not too bullish on his 2018 prospects.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 49 catches. 740 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 109.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 158.
-
Keelan Cole, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 9.
Keelan Cole caught 42 passes for 748 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie despite not doing much in the first six weeks of the season. Cole had some big performances down the stretch, including a 7-186-1 line against the Texans. Cole’s 2018 outlook seemed promising with Allen Robinson gone, but the Jaguars then drafted D.J. Chark.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 44 catches. 700 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 108.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 152.
-
Allen Hurns, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 8.
AUG. 4 UPDATE: Allen Hurns has been limited with a groin problem in training camp. Hurns has missed 11 games in the past two seasons, so this can’t be a surprise to anyone. Hurns has a ninth-round ADP, which seems too high.
Allen Hurns is Dallas’ new No. 1 receiver unless third-round rookie Michael Gallup passes him this year. This may seem fine, given that Hurns had 1,031 yards in 2015, but that was all a byproduct of garbage yardage. Hurns is not a viable starter in the NFL, and he’ll produce mediocre stats as a result.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 54 catches. 730 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 108.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 162.
-
Chester Rogers, WR, Colts. Bye: 9.
Chester Rogers has a chance to contribute in 2018. Donte Moncrief is gone, and he has just Ryan Grant to compete with for the No. 2 receiving job. His outlook also depends on Andrew Luck’s health.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 680 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 107.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 155.
-
Josh Doctson, WR, Redskins. Bye: 4.
Josh Doctson finally did something late last season after struggling for a year and a half. Doctson has potential as a former first-round pick, but there are other late-round fantasy receivers with more upside. Paul Richardson’s presence only clouds Doctson’s outlook.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 680 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 107.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 155.
-
Donte Moncrief, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 9.
Donte Moncrief is getting $9.6 million this year, but that doesn’t change the fact that he sucks.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 820 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 106.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 166.
-
DeSean Jackson, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 5.
DeSean Jackson was a bust in his first season with the Buccaneers, catching just 50 passes for 668 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. The perennially overrated Jackson, who turned 31 recently, is past his prime and shouldn’t be considered a serious fantasy option.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 810 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 105.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 158.
-
Jake Kumerow, WR, Packers. Bye: 7.
Jake Kumerow is an undrafted free agent from 2015, but he’s getting a stock up today because Aaron Rodgers talked him up. Rodgers said he has confidence in the 6-foot-4 receiver and that he “practices like a pro.” I’d like to see Kumerow in real action before thinking about drafting him, but it’s worth noting that the Packers will need someone to step up and take Jordy Nelson’s targets, and it could very well be Kumerow.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 54 catches. 690 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 103.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 157.
-
Rishard Matthews, WR, Titans. Bye: 8.
AUG. 24 UPDATE: Rishard Matthews will continue to miss time with a torn meniscus. Matthews could come off the PUP list next week, but he’s missed way too much time for my liking. There’s a good chance he’ll frequently be banged up throughout the season.
AUG. 16 UPDATE: Rishard Matthews has yet to practice this summer. This is alarming news, as there is no indication that he’ll return anytime soon. Matthews’ stock needs to drop, while Corey Davis is looking much better.
Rishard Matthews has been Marcus Mariota’s favorite receiver the past two years, though that could change with Corey Davis certain to make great strides this upcoming season. Still, Matthews is relevant and could have a spot on a fantasy roster if the new coaching staff gets Mariota to play better.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 47 catches. 680 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 102.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 149.
-
Mohamed Sanu, WR, Falcons. Bye: 8.
Atlanta’s offense was much worse with Steve Sarkisian replacing Kyle Shanahan, but don’t tell that to Mohamed Sanu, who saw his catches and yards rise from 59 and 653 to 67 and 703, respectively. He also caught five touchdowns. Sanu is not a very good fantasy option, especially with Calvin Ridley now on the team.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 63 catches. 700 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 100.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 163.
-
Ted Ginn, WR, Saints. Bye: 6.
Ted Ginn had some solid performances in his first season with the Saints, but finished with mediocre numbers (53 catches, 787 yards, four touchdowns.) As long as the Saints have a strong defense and running game, Ginn’s potential will be capped, especially with Cameron Meredith now on the roster.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 750 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 99.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 151.
-
DeVante Parker, WR, Dolphins. Bye: 11.
AUG. 22 UPDATE: DeVante Parker’s status for Week 1 is “up in the air,” according to ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe. There have been nothing but negative reports on Parker this offseason, so this is just the latest one. He’s just a late-round flier at best now.
AUG. 14 UPDATE: DeVante Parker has missed practice with a hand injury. Parker has already been struggling, so this is more bad news for his outlook. Parker is basically undraftable at this point.
AUG. 10 UPDATE: If DeVante Parker wasn’t announced as a starter by the Dolphins’ television network, I wouldn’t have known he was even on the field. Tannehill didn’t target him at all in the preseason debut. It seemed as though Tannehill preferred to throw to Danny Amendola and Kenny Stills instead. I expect Parker to disappoint once again this year.
JULY 31 UPDATE: DeVante Parker has been “largely ineffective,” according to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald. This can’t be a surprise whatsoever. Parker has been sloth-like in practice for years now, and he’ll almost certainly disappoint once again this season.
DeVante Parker was a major disappointment this past season, catching 57 passes for 670 yards and a single touchdown in 13 games. Don’t just blame Jay Cutler; there were reports that Parker wasn’t trying very hard in practice. It’s difficult to trust Parker right now, though he does happen to be a buy-low candidate.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 50 catches. 650 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 99.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 149.
-
Tyrell Williams, WR, Chargers. Bye: 8.
Tyrell Williams is an inconsistent deep threat who should only be rostered in deeper leagues.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 47 catches. 740 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 98.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 145.
-
Bruce Ellington, WR, Texans. Bye: 10.
Bruce Ellington has flashed on the field, and with Deshaun Watson returning from injury, he’d be an intriguing late-round fantasy option if it weren’t for his durability issues. Ellington hasn’t been able to stay healthy throughout his career.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 40 catches. 660 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 94.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 134.
-
Demarcus Robinson, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 12.
Demarcus Robinson was a fourth-round pick in 2016, but would’ve gone earlier if it weren’t for character concerns. Robinson, who caught 21 passes this past season, will be Kansas City’s third receiver this year. He should be added on the waiver wire if either Tyreek Hill or Sammy Watkins gets injured.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 54 catches. 640 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 92.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 146.
-
Daurice Fountain, WR, Colts. Bye: 9.
Daurice Fountain is just a fifth-round rookie, but he’ll have an opportunity to play right away in Indianapolis. If Andrew Luck returns, Fountain might actually be productive right away.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 36 catches. 470 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 91.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 127.
-
Taylor Gabriel, WR, Bears. Bye: 5.
Taylor Gabriel had promise heading into this past season, but Steve Sarkisian couldn’t figure out creative ways to get the ball to him. It’s a shame, but Gabriel will have a better chance of producing under the more-creative Matt Nagy in Chicago.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 640 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 88.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 141.
-
Brice Butler, WR, Cardinals. Bye: 9.
Brice Butler is Arizona’s third receiver, which might have meant something several years ago. Butler has some potential, but not nearly enough to warrant a fantasy pick in 12-team leagues.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 38 catches. 590 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 87.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 125.
-
Zay Jones, WR, Bills. Bye: 11.
Zay Jones struggled this past season, though he played most of his rookie campaign with a torn labrum. I liked him better for 2018 before that horrible video of him surfaced. It’s unclear what will happen to Jones moving forward.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 630 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 87.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 138.
-
Cole Beasley, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 8.
Cole Beasley, serving as Dak Prescott’s safety valve, posted career-high figures in 2016, catching 75 passes for 833 yards and five touchdowns. Beasley’s numbers took a dive in 2017, however, as he logged just 36 receptions. Beasley will get more looks with Dez Bryant gone, but he’s still not a viable fantasy option.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 550 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 79.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 131.
-
Willie Snead, WR, Ravens. Bye: 10.
Willie Snead completely disappeared this past season, which is understandable because the Saints threw it much less, thanks to an improved running game and defense. Snead will be with the Ravens this year, a team that will throw the ball even less frequently.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 36 catches. 440 yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 76.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 112.
-
Torrey Smith, WR, Panthers. Bye: 4.
Torrey Smith is just an inconsistent deep threat at this stage of his career. He has no fantasy value.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 580 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 76.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 118.
-
Tyler Boyd, WR, Bengals. Bye: 9.
Tyler Boyd caught the game-winning touchdown in the season finale that knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs. However, he did nothing else this past season, logging just 22 receptions in 10 games. Boyd has very little upside in a stagnant offense.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 480 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 76.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 118.
-
Terrance Williams, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 8.
Terrance Williams has been a failure as Dallas’ No. 2 receiver over the past several seasons. Dez Bryant is gone, but Williams will still be a non-factor.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 570 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 75.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 97.
-
Quincy Enunwa, WR, Jets. Bye: 11.
Quincy Enunwa missed all of 2017 with a neck injury. He caught 58 passes for 857 yards and four touchdowns the year before. Enunwa will have to fight for targets with Robby Anderson emerging and Terrelle Pryor added to the roster.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 33 catches. 570 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 75.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 108.
-
Adam Humphries, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 5.
Adam Humphries is someone to add if the Buccaneers lose several offensive players to injuries. He caught seven passes for 102 yards in the finale when numerous play-makers were out.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 59 catches. 620 yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 74.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 133.
-
Kendall Wright, WR, Vikings. Bye: 10.
Kendall Wright had a few solid performances last year, but was incredibly inconsistent. He signed with the Vikings to be their new third receiver.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 44 catches. 500 yards. 1 total TD.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 66.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 110.
-
Brandon LaFell, WR, Bengals. Bye: 9.
Brandon LaFell caught 52 passes for 548 yards and three touchdowns this past season. With John Ross set to have a larger role in 2018, LaFell shouldn’t be used in fantasy.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 37 catches. 450 yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 63.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 100.
-
Eric Decker, WR, Patriots. Bye: 11.
Eric Decker has announced his retirement. This is for the best, as he was likely to be cut because he dropped everything in sight during training camp and the preseason.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 0 catches. 0 yards. 0 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 47.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 76.
-
Malcolm Mitchell, WR, Patriots. Bye: 11.
JULY 24 UPDATE: Josh Gordon has missed the beginning of training camp, citing that his absence is “part of my overall health and treatment plan.” This might be much ado about nothing, but it’s a reminder that Gordon is far from a safe player because he could be suspended at any moment.
Malcolm Mitchell missed all of 2017 with a knee injury. He has a chance to be productive in New England’s offense, especially with Danny Amendola gone.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Stats: 0 catches. 0 yards. 0 total TDs.
Projected 2018 Fantasy Points: 0.
Projected 2018 PPR Fantasy Points: 0.
-
Marqise Lee, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 9.
AUG. 26 UPDATE: Marqise Lee injured his knee on a reception versus Atlanta. He shouted in agony upon taking a hit and had to be carted into the locker room. There’s no diagnosis yet, but it looked pretty bad.
Marqise Lee is a better real-life receiver than fantasy option. He played well for the Jaguars this past season, but accumulated only 702 yards and three touchdowns. He missed two games, but that’s not enough to make up for his mediocre fantasy output.
