Last Updated: September 3
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100 |
Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE | DraftSharks’ Projections
Keon Coleman will have a chance to be a big producer right away in Buffalo’s offense. Despite being a second-round pick, he should be ranked highly.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 56 catches. 770 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 117.
Jameson Williams has big-play potential, but hasn’t put it together yet in the pros. Perhaps he’ll take a big leap in his third year. Dan Campbell talked up Williams recently, calling him a “man on a mission.” Here we go again with the Williams hype train! Perhaps Williams will finally pan out this year, but it’s fair to be skeptical.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 770 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 117.
Zay Jones missed half the season with injuries. He was released after Jacksonville drafted Brian Thomas Jr.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 700 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 114.
Brandin Cooks turns 31 in September, so regression is coming. He’s difficult to trust at this stage of his career.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 58 catches. 710 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 113.
Darnell Mooney’s stats have declined in each of the past three years, but he’ll have a chance to thrive in Atlanta with Kirk Cousins.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 70 catches. 880 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 112.
Tyler Boyd is a free agent. He can be a No. 2 on some teams, but he’s been stuck as the third receiver in Cincinnati.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 75 catches. 800 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 110.
Demarcus Robinson developed into a viable third receiver for Matthew Stafford last year.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 730 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 109.
Ja’Lynn Polk won’t be playing in an exciting offense, but he’ll see tons of usage as one of the few talented threats on the team.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 680 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 107.
Marvin Mims has been performing well at OTAs. This prompted Sean Payton to say, “You’re going to see a lot of growth” from Mims. This could be all hype, but Mims has a lot of talent and was blocked from producing last year with Jerry Jeudy on the roster.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 45 catches. 710 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 105.
Adam Thielen had a surprise 1,000-yard season in Carolina, but he turns 34 this summer. The receiving room is much more crowded, too.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 78 catches. 790 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 103.
Curtis Samuel is week-to-week with a turf toe injury. Samuel seems likely to miss the first two games of the season.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 70 catches. 730 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 103.
Dyami Brown will be the No. 2 receiver on the Redskins in the wake of the Jahan Dotson trade. Brown’s outlook is bullish with Washington having a quarterback who will be throwing far more often than last year’s quarterback.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 55 catches. 790 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 103.
Michael Wilson showed some potential as a rookie. He was inconsistent, but he should improve in that regard with Kyler Murray being healthy.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 57 catches. 720 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 102.
Malachi Corley compares favorably to Deebo Samuel. His upside is high with Aaron Rodgers being his quarterback.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 630 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 102.
Demario Douglas became New England’s No. 1 receiver when Kendrick Bourne got hurt. He’s a slot receiver who racks up catches.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 70 catches. 780 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 102.
Xavier Legette is a talented receiver, but he’s in a bad quarterbacking situation in Carolina.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 45 catches. 620 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 101.
Greg Dortch can be a PPR machine in the right matchups if players ahead of him get hurt.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 720 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 100.
Elijah Moore had lots of preseason hype last summer, but failed to live up to it.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 65 catches. 700 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 94.
Allen Lazard was a predictable disappointment last year, but perhaps he’ll rebound with Aaron Rodgers.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 40 catches. 630 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 93.
Darius Slayton had some big games at the end of the year once Tommy DeVito was benched. The Giants drafted Malik Nabers, but that could help Slayton see softer coverage.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 47 catches. 740 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 92.
There’s some chatter about Courtland Sutton being traded. Jerry Jeudy is gone, so if Sutton leaves, Troy Franklin will have a great chance to contribute early in his career.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 37 catches. 530 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 91.
D.J. Chark showed flashes of his past production once in a while last year, but he was hindered by horrific quarterbacking. It’ll be much better in 2024, but Chark’s injury history is problematic.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 40 catches. 650 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 89.
It’s a small sample size, but Tim Patrick appears to be Bo Nix’s favorite target, as he was targeted on three more occasions than Courtland Sutton. Patrick finally appears to be over his injuries, though it’s hard to ignore his poor durability.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 50 catches. 650 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 89.
Wan’Dale Robinson was mostly healthy last year, playing in 15 games after missing 11 contests his rookie year. He’s in consideration for PPR leagues only.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 700 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 88.
Devontez Walker will be replacing Odell Beckham Jr. He’s just a fourth-round rookie, but given the lack of receiving depth on the roster, Walker could see playing time immediately.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 30 catches. 510 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 88.
Kendrick Bourne was a favorite sleeper of mine last year. He was thriving before tearing his ACL. It’s hard to like him this year because of that injury.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 46 catches. 660 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 84.
K.J. Osborn had a golden opportunity to take the next step last year with Adam Thielen gone, but failed to do so. He’ll likely disappoint in New England.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 610 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 79.
Quentin Johnston looked like a major bust last year, failing to do anything even when Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer were all hurt. Allen and Williams are gone, but I still wouldn’t be bullish on Johnston.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 560 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 74.
Roman Wilson was carted off the practice field with an ankle injury. Fortunately, he’ll only miss a few weeks. This will still have negative repercussions, however, as Wilson is a rookie who won’t be able to earn playing time with strong performances in practice.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 29 catches. 420 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 69.
Jonathan Mingo struggled to separate as a rookie. The Panthers added Xavier Legette and Diontae Johnson, so his outlook is bleak.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 57 catches. 550 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 67.
Everyone has heard of Ricky Pearsall, but another 49er rookie receiver was the top wideout performer in the second preseason game. That was Jacob Cowing, a fourth-round pick. Cowing showed off his electric speed in this game on a 19-yard end-around and a 38-yard deep reception.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 24 catches. 290 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 66.
Jalin Hyatt has some great speed and upside, but he looked like a very raw product last year.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 36 catches. 540 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 66.
Ricky Pearsall will need one of Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk to be traded in order to be relevant this year. There’s major long-term potential here, obviously.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 17 catches. 190 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 61.
Treylon Burks caught just 16 passes last year, as he dealt with multiple injuries. Perhaps he’ll take the next step in his third season.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 430 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 61.
Rashod Bateman was hyped up by some publications last year, but all he did in 2023 was catch 32 passes and one touchdown.
Projected 2024 Fantasy Stats: 43 catches. 480 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.Projected 2024 Fantasy Points: 60.
