Be ready for your fantasy football draft by checking out my WR rankings after three weeks of preseason action.

This weekend will be a busy one for fantasy football owners, and you’ll need to get all your preparation wrapped up and be ready to make those perfect selections. One of the trickiest positions to be ready for is wide receiver.  There are so many options to choose from, but don’t be overwhelmed.  Check out my WR Rankings of my top 100 wide receivers in the box below

If this is your first year playing fantasy football, check out my 10 tips for beginners to get a grasp on overall strategy and how to approach your rookie season.  If you’re a more seasoned owner, you already know how important cheatsheets are to your draft strategy.

For plenty of wide receiver content, check out my previews of each team’s wide receiver situation which you can find by checking out my latest post in the series which featured the New York Giants wide receivers. I’ll be wrapping up that series leading up to Opening Night. Earlier this preseason, I highlighted by top undervalued WR and my Top 10 WR breakout candidates.

To see exactly where I would rank all those options in the overall scheme of your draft, check out my WR Rankings below.  You can easily see each WR bye week, so you make sure you don’t get over-loaded with receivers that have the same week off.

For the top 70 WR, I’ve also included notes analyzing why they are ranked where they are. The receivers are listed in the order that I would take them based on standard scoring guidelines, but be sure to double-check if you’re league has any unique wrinkles. I suggest you use WR rankings to let you know the best available option throughout your draft. It would be helpful to cross off or delete players when they are taken, so that you’re aware of how many receivers are going and when you need to draft yours.
