2022 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers (May 29):
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100
Other Positions: QB | RB | TE
-
Hunter Renfrow, WR, Raiders. Bye: 0.
Hunter Renfrow caught 100 passes for the first time in his career. He was amazing for the Raiders last year, especially after Henry Ruggs was kicked off the team. Renfrow will continue to rack up tons of receptions, but he’s no longer the No. 1 wideout in the wake of the Davante Adams trade.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 96 catches. 1,000 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 146.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 242.
-
Treylon Burks, WR, Titans. Bye: 0.
Treylon Burks will take A.J. Brown’s spot in Tennessee’s offense. I love Burks as a player, but the Titans have a run-heavy offense, so it’s tough to envision a rookie receiver being a big producer.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 58 catches. 790 yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 146.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 204.
-
Kadarius Toney, WR, Giants. Bye: 0.
Talk about a roller coaster season. Kadarius Toney didn’t play very much to start the year, then saw action and put together some amazing performances. After that, Toney barely played because of injuries. Toney has amazing upside, but his off-the-field issues could cost him some playing time.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 900 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 145.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 217.
-
D.J. Chark, WR, Lions. Bye: 0.
D.J. Chark logged 154 receiving yards and two touchdowns in three full games with Trevor Lawrence before breaking his ankle in a dreaded Thursday night game. Chark should be 100 percent heading into 2022.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 58 catches. 880 yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 145.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 203.
-
Chase Claypool, WR, Steelers. Bye: 0.
Chase Claypool took a step backward in 2021, performing like an inefficient receiver. Perhaps this was just a sophomore slump. Unfortunately for Claypool, he’ll be catching passes from Mitchell Trubisky or a rookie quarterback.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 65 catches. 920 yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 144.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 209.
-
Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 0.
Chris Godwin suffered a torn ACL late in the year, so I don’t expect him to perform very well in 2022. It’ll likely be a lost season for him.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 65 catches. 820 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 143.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 208.
-
Christian Kirk, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 0.
Christian Kirk is a dangerous deep threat who will have some big games amid inconsistency issues. His role increased last year when both DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore were sidelined. He’s now the No. 1 receiver in Jacksonville, so he’ll need Trevor Lawrence to make a big leap.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 74 catches. 950 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 141.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 215.
-
Odell Beckham Jr., WR, TBA. Bye: 0.
Odell Beckham Jr. was a huge disappointment with the Browns, but his production picked up with the Rams. He’s currently unsigned because of his torn ACL.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 730 yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 141.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 194.
-
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 0.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a tough weekly start in fantasy because he’s so inconsistent. He’s better in best-ball formats because of his occasional upside.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 49 catches. 840 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 140.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 189.
-
Skyy Moore, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 0.
Skyy Moore automatically has huge appeal because he’ll be playing with Patrick Mahomes. Given the Chiefs’ weakness at receiver, Moore could have a big rookie year.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 58 catches. 790 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 140.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 198.
-
Christian Watson, WR, Packers. Bye: 0.
Christian Watson has superb athleticism and high upside, and he’ll be playing with Aaron Rodgers. Despite being drafted in the second round, he’s one of the top fantasy rookies in 2022.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 780 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 139.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 190.
-
DeVante Parker, WR, Patriots. Bye: 0.
DeVante Parker missed about half the season, yet still crossed 500 receiving yards. He’s the No. 1 receiver in New England now, but he’s in a run-heavy offense.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 960 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 136.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 204.
-
Tyler Boyd, WR, Bengals. Bye: 0.
Tyler Boyd is now the third receiver on the roster, so his upside is gone. He’ll need one of Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins to get hurt in order to be a significant fantasy producer.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 880 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 134.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 206.
-
Van Jefferson, WR, Rams. Bye: 0.
Van Jefferson made some big plays in his rookie year. With Odell Beckham coming off a torn ACL, Jefferson will continue to have plenty of opportunities.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 54 catches. 820 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 133.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 187.
-
Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Browns. Bye: 0.
Donovan Peoples-Jones drops many balls, but also makes impossible catches. Peoples-Jones will have a brighter outlook with Deshaun Watson throwing the ball to him.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 49 catches. 780 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 133.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 182.
-
Chris Olave, WR, Saints. Bye: 0.
Chris Olave is a speedy receiver with personal upside, but he’ll be playing in a conservative, run-heavy offense. He’s not very appealing at the moment.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 780 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 133.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 186.
-
Kenny Golladay, WR, Giants. Bye: 0.
Kenny Golladay was a huge disappointment with the Giants, though he played hurt for most of the year. Then again, when is Golladay not injured? He’s not trustworthy at all.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 55 catches. 620 yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 132.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 194.
-
Jameson Williams, WR, Lions. Bye: 0.
Jameson Williams could struggle in his rookie year because he’s coming off a torn ACL. He’s not ideal in re-draft formats, but I love him more in dynasty.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 65 catches. 880 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 129.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 184.
-
Russell Gage, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 0.
Russell Gage was a solid PPR producer after Calvin Ridley left the team last year. He’ll now be with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, which is obviously great news for his outlook.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 69 catches. 870 yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 129.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 198.
-
Will Fuller, WR, TBA. Bye: 0.
Will Fuller once again proved himself to be injury-prone last year, playing just two games. He’ll bounce back in 2022, but you can’t count on him to remain on the field.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 770 yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 126.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 174.
