2024 Fantasy Football: Ranking the Top 10 WRs You Need To Draft

We are less than two weeks away from the start of the NFL season, and I’m kicking off my top 10 series. It’s an exciting time for football fans as fantasy drafts are about to take place. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry—I’m here to help! Today, I’ll be going over the top 10 wide receivers for fantasy football this year. These rankings are based on PPR formats. If you have any questions or need additional help, feel free to reach out to me on X @cardiacchase—I’ll be glad to assist. Now, let’s dive into my top 10 WRs for fantasy football.

If you missed my past Top 10s, you can find them here. QB | RB

10. Marvin Harrison Jr.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is arguably the best player in this year’s NFL draft, and he cracks my top 10 for wide receivers. He enters the NFL in a unique situation—typically, top WRs drafted as high as Harrison don’t have much help at quarterback. However, with Kyler Murray at the helm, Harrison will step into the Cardinals offense as the top target. He possesses all the traits of a superstar, and I can’t wait to see what he accomplishes this season.

9. Davante Adams

Adams finished last year as WR10 despite some questionable QB play. Does it get better this year? Perhaps. The Raiders announced Gardner Minshew as their starting QB, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Minshew is likely to rely heavily on Adams, and I expect him to have a “bounce-back” year.

8. Puka Nacua

Puka Nacua set the league on fire last year, finishing in the top 10 at WR in three of his first four games. After going undrafted in 99% of fantasy leagues, there was a frenzy to pick him up in free agency. This year, Nacua will be the WR1 in LA. While some may worry about his production declining with Cooper Kupp’s return from injury, I wouldn’t be too concerned—he’s going to get plenty of looks. Volume is key, and Puka Nacua provides just that.

7. A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown might experience a dip in fantasy production this year. He’s an elite receiver on a team filled with offensive talent. With players like Barkley, Goedert, Smith, and now Dotson in the Eagles’ offense, Brown will still get his opportunities, and he’ll have a game here and there where he excels. However, I believe the overall volume just won’t be as high this year. Still, Brown is a solid pick and will provide consistent contributions.

6. Garrett Wilson

This season, we may finally see what Garrett Wilson can do with above-average QB play. Last year, he finished as WR26, which is about as low as I expect to see him perform. With Aaron Rodgers returning, Wilson is likely to be the biggest beneficiary and has the potential to emerge as a top WR in fantasy this year.

5. Ja’Marr Chase

Ja’Marr Chase is ranked lower primarily due to his contract situation. Although he has reported to camp, he’s not entirely happy, and past experiences have taught me to be cautious of unhappy players. That said, he will still produce, especially with Joe Burrow back—this is huge for his fantasy value. Chase finished as WR11 last year despite Burrow missing most of the season, and I believe his floor is among the highest in the NFL.

4. Amon-Ra St. Brown

When it comes to high floors, Amon-Ra St. Brown is one of the safest picks in the draft. While he may not have explosive games every week, you can count on him to get his receptions. Last season, St. Brown had only one poor performance; in the rest of his games, he either met his projection or missed it by a point or less. If you see him available, make sure to draft him—you’ll be in good hands.

3. Justin Jefferson

Justin Jefferson’s season was derailed last year by a hamstring injury and Kirk Cousins tearing his Achilles, creating a nightmare scenario for fantasy owners. However, once he returned, Jefferson demonstrated that he is QB-proof. There’s no reason to overthink this—if the top two WRs are off the board, Jefferson is the clear choice.

2. Tyreek Hill

If you’ve ever had the luxury of drafting Tyreek Hill, you know he can light up the scoreboards. However, there’s one concern: his quarterback has consistently struggled in December. From December to January last year, Hill finished outside of the top 15 three times, with a low of WR36. My advice? Enjoy the first month or so, then consider trading Hill at the deadline. This strategy could help you win your league.

1. CeeDee Lamb

I understand the confusion regarding my rankings of Chase and Lamb, but here’s why Lamb remains so high. The Cowboys’ success this season hinges on Lamb; they have no one else of equal caliber. As an Eagles fan, I get to watch Lamb twice a year, and the Cowboys love putting him in advantageous situations. They frequently manipulate defenses to create mismatches against weaker cornerbacks, and it pays off. Just pay the man, Jerry. I wouldn’t worry too much about this holdout.
