Fantasy Football Rankings: WRs – 21-40

Mike Williams, WR, Chargers. Bye: 5.

Mike Williams regressed last year, thanks to his inability to stay healthy. He should be able to rebound in 2022, but there’s an obvious downside.

Jahan Dotson, WR, Redskins. Bye: 14.

Jahan Dotson looked like he had strong chemistry with Sam Howell in the preseason opener. Dotson caught two passes for 30 yards and a touchdown, making a great grab on the score. I’m high on Dotson this year, so I was glad to see this performance.

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Titans. Bye: 7.

DeAndre Hopkins was released, so we’re waiting to see which team signs him.

George Pickens, WR, Steelers. Bye: 6.

George Pickens was Kenny Pickett’s favorite receiver. He’s a mega talent with immense potential.

Jerry Jeudy, WR, Broncos. Bye: 9.

Jerry Jeudy struggled to start the year, but caught fire at the end of the season once he and Russell Wilson were able to gel together. With Denver improving its coaching staff and offensive line, Jeudy could be in for a huge season.

Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers. Bye: 9.

Deebo Samuel had a monstrous 2021 campaign, but his production took a hit last year when the 49ers traded for Christian McCaffrey.

Brandon Aiyuk, WR, 49ers. Bye: 9.

Brandon Aiyuk’s days in Kyle Shanahan’s dog house are long gone. He posted career-highs in receptions (78), receiving yards (1,015) and touchdowns (8) last year.

Christian Watson, WR, Packers. Bye: 6.

Christian Watson has superb athleticism and high upside. He made some big plays as a rookie, and he should continue to improve, though the downgrade at quarterback isn’t ideal.

Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 5.

Mike Evans is coming off a down year, and things will get worse with Baker Mayfield replacing Tom Brady.

Diontae Johnson, WR, Steelers. Bye: 6.

Diontae Johnson’s stats took a hit this past year because Kenny Pickett didn’t like throwing to him as much as George Pickens.

D.J. Moore, WR, Bears. Bye: 13.

People were waiving D.J. Moore early last season because he couldn’t produce anything with Baker Mayfield. That turned out to purely be a Mayfield problem, as Moore’s production increased when Mayfield was jettisoned. We’ll see how he performs with Justin Fields.

Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 5.

Tyler Lockett eclipsed 1,000 yards for the fourth year in a row despite playing with Geno Smith. Age will become an issue soon; Lockett turns 31 in September. Jaxon Smith-Njigba will take away some targets.

Gabriel Davis, WR, Bills. Bye: 13.

Gabe Davis had a couple of big games last year, but had so many duds. It’s difficult to trust him because of the horrible inconsistency.

Christian Kirk, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 9.

Christian Kirk had career-high figures in his first season with Trevor Lawrence last year. The two should continue to show great chemistry together, though Calvin Ridley will draw some targets away from Kirk.

Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 5.

Chris Godwin remained a PPR machine last year despite coming off a torn ACL. He’ll be more explosive next year, though the downgrade at quarterback will hurt.

Brandin Cooks, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 7.

Brandin Cooks’ production took a dive last year. He was disgruntled and in a bad quarterbacking situation, so he should bounce back next year in Dallas.

Marquise Brown, WR, Cardinals. Bye: 14.

Marquise Brown showed great chemistry with Kyler Murray to start the year, but his production took a hit when DeAndre Hopkins returned from suspension. With Hopkins on his way out, Brown will be productive in 2023 when Kyler Murray returns from injury.

Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos. Bye: 9.

Courtland Sutton was Russell Wilson’s favorite receiver when the year started, but that changed at the end of the season.

Elijah Moore, WR, Browns. Bye: 5.

Elijah Moore suffered a sophomore slump, as he struggled with Zach Wilson. Perhaps he’ll improve with Deshaun Watson.

Kadarius Toney, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 10.

Kadarius Toney has great potential playing with Patrick Mahomes, but he also has a low floor due to his injury history. He also has big upside heading into 2023.
