Fantasy Football Rankings: WRs – 41-60

Rashid Shaheed, WR, Saints. Bye: 11.

Rashid Shaheed was a dynamic deep threat in 2023. He became so much more consistent in 2024, but his season ended after just six games. His outlook took a shot because of Derek Carr’s injury.

Michael Pittman, WR, Colts. Bye: 11.

Michael Pittman Jr. was a receptions machine until last year. That changed with Anthony Richardson weighing him down.

Jakobi Meyers, WR, Raiders. Bye: 8.

Jakobi Meyers continues to be a solid producer no matter who his quarterback is.

Tory Horton, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 8.

Rookie Tory Horton, who had been enjoying a terrific camp, was outstanding in his preseason debut. Horton made numerous big plays, using his nice size (6-2) and shiftiness to impress. His stats could’ve been even better had a reception he made out of bounds counted. Horton, who would have been a second-round pick had he not come with any injury concerns, could emerge as Seattle’s No. 2 receiver. Horton continues to “make plays,” according to a report from ESPN. Horton was awesome in the opening preseason game, and he has continued to dominate in practice. He’s worth a late-round flier as Seattle’s possible No. 2 receiver.

Jauan Jennings, WR, 49ers. Bye: 14.

Although Kyle Shanahan said that Jauan Jennings will be ready for Week 1, a report from reporter Tim Kawakami says otherwise. Kawakami wrote that the 49ers may place Jennings on IR, marking the second consecutive year that the 49ers will have lied about an offensive player’s calf injury.

Stefon Diggs, WR, Patriots. Bye: 14.

Stefon Diggs is coming off a torn ACL, so he’s not to be trusted, especially on a run-first team like the Patriots.

Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Panthers. Bye: 14.

Tetairoa McMillan is a great athlete, but will be playing on a bad team. There’s no guarantee that he even outgains Adam Thielen this year.

Troy Franklin, WR, Broncos. Bye: 12.

Troy Franklin has enjoyed a terrific training camp and has parlayed that into two outstanding showings in the preseason. Franklin caught two touchdowns in the second preseason game: a 27-yard fade pass and a back-shoulder reception.

Jerry Jeudy, WR, Browns. Bye: 9.

Jerry Jeudy had an amazing finish to his 2024 season, but we’ve seen this before. Tread carefully.

Jayden Higgins, WR, Texans. Bye: 6.

Jayden Higgins is rotating on the outside with Xavier Hutchinson, according to an ESPN report. This didn’t appear to be the case in the most recent preseason game, but that’s what this ESPN report says.

Keon Coleman, WR, Bills. Bye: 7.

Keon Coleman had a couple of big games as a rookie, but he’s still just a No. 2 possession receiver at best.

Jayden Reed, WR, Packers. Bye: 5.

Jayden Reed is in a walking boot and is in danger of missing Week 1. Reed is already being drafted too high because he doesn’t play in two-wide receiver sets, so perhaps this will put his ADP into a reasonable area.

Quentin Johnston, WR, Chargers. Bye: 12.

Quentin Johnston is enjoying a terrific training camp. We’ll see if that continues when the lights come on, but Johnston will be looking to replicate Reggie Wayne, who struggled in his first two seasons and then took off to have a Hall of Fame career.

Khalil Shakir, WR, Bills. Bye: 7.

Khalil Shakir was a consistent PPR option in his third season, but there wasn’t much weekly upside in standard-scoring leagues.

Cedric Tillman, WR, Browns. Bye: 9.

Cedric Tillman was very productive with Jameis Winston last year. He’ll be a viable option as long as Joe Flacco is starting.

Alec Pierce, WR, Colts. Bye: 11.

Alec Pierce had some monster games last year. He’s very inconsistent, but has major potential.

Adam Thielen, WR, Panthers. Bye: 14.

Adam Thielen had some terrific games down the stretch last year after missing seven games with an injury. However, he’ll be 35 this season, so it’s difficult to justify any sort of high draft pick on him.

Malik Washington, WR, Dolphins. Bye: 12.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was a touchdown machine last year. He’s bound to regress.

Rashod Bateman, WR, Ravens. Bye: 7.

Rashod Bateman finally showed signs of life last year. He might be able to be a No. 2 receiver if he continues to improve. He’s still just 26 years old.

Pat Bryant, WR, Broncos. Bye: 12.

Pat Bryant was considered a reach in the draft, but he’ll have a chance to earn the No. 2 receiver spot across from Courtland Sutton.
