2020 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers (Sept. 8):
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100
Other Positions: QB | RB | TE | Top 250 | Sleepers | Busts
-
Michael Thomas, WR, Saints. Bye: 6.
Michael Thomas is the best receiver in the NFL right now. He was an amazing and consistent producer in 2019, catching 149 passes for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns. With Drew Brees returning for at least another year, there’s no reason to think he’ll regress.

Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 140 catches. 1,660 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 242.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 382.
-
Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 10.
Tyreek Hill missed four-and-a-half games last year, which is why he caught just 58 passes for 860 yards and seven touchdowns. Hill can be inconsistent, but no one has more weekly upside at the position than he does.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 89 catches. 1,470 yards. 12 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 219.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 308.
-
Davante Adams, WR, Packers. Bye: 5.
Davante Adams had some monster performances in 2019. He caught 83 yards for 997 yards and five touchdowns despite missing four games. Adams keeps getting better and better, so you have to love his outlook for 2020.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 108 catches. 1,360 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 217.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 325.
-
Julio Jones, WR, Falcons. Bye: 10.
Julio Jones turns 31 this offseason, but he should still have a couple of elite years remaining in the tank. Jones was one catch shy of 100 last season, accumulating 1,394 yards in the process. He scored just six touchdowns, which has sort of been the norm for him throughout his career.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 98 catches. 1,470 yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 211.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 309.
-
Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 13.
Mike Evans had a huge year, catching 67 passes for 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns despite missing the final three-and-a-half games of the season. He had some dud showings in the process, but also mixed in some monstrous performances. Evans should be more consistent in 2020, but his upside will take a hit with Tom Brady under center. Brady is obviously better than Jameis Winston, but that’s part of the problem because Brady won’t throw himself into large deficits like Winston did with his interceptions.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 80 catches. 1,270 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 210.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 290.
-
Kenny Golladay, WR, Lions. Bye: 5.
Kenny Golladay posted 65 receptions for 1,190 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2019, but keep in mind that he played without Matthew Stafford for half the year. If you just take his first-half stats and multiply them by two, you get 1,280 yards and 14 touchdowns. I think the yardage sum is a realistic expectation for Golladay in 2020 unless Stafford gets hurt again, which, sadly, is bound to happen.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 77 catches. 1,280 yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 198.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 275.
-
DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Cardinals. Bye: 8.
DeAndre Hopkins scored single-digit touchdowns for the first time since 2016 last year. We’ll see if that continues in Arizona. Hopkins is still an elite receivers – he had 104 receptions for 1,165 yards last year – but he’ll be playing with a worse quarterback in 2020. Kyler Murray isn’t a bad player, but he’s no Deshaun Watson. Murray also scrambles more than Watson, so Hopkins will lose a target per week.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 96 catches. 1,190 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 195.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 291.
-
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 6.
AUG. 14 UPDATE: D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett both stand to benefit from the news brought to light by Russell Wilson, who stated that he’ll be treating the entire 60 minutes of each game “like the fourth quarter.” Metcalf and Lockett should see more targets as a result.
D.K. Metcalf turned out to be more than just a physical specimen. He learned how to run routes very quickly and became a dominant force down the stretch. He became Russell Wilson’s favorite target, so his 2020 outlook is very promising.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 82 catches. 1,270 yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 192.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 274.
-
Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 13.
Chris Godwin lived up to his hype last season. He caught 86 balls for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns despite missing the final two games of the regular season. There’s no reason to expect Godwin to slow down as an actual player, but his fantasy outlook will take a hit because Tom Brady won’t throw himself into deficits like Jameis Winston often did.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 95 catches. 1,190 yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 189.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 284.
-
Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos. Bye: 8.
Courtland Sutton made huge strides in his second year. He registered 72 catches for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns despite receiving passes from Brandon Allen for a few games in the middle of the season. Sutton will be much better with Drew Lock for an entire season, though Lock’s scrambling isn’t exactly ideal for Sutton.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Stats: 82 catches. 1,230 yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2020 Fantasy Points: 188.
Projected 2020 PPR Fantasy Points: 270.
