Wide receiver is a volatile position which is always a hard one to predict in a short-term week-to-week basis.  For example, Allen Hurns was the #2 WR last week, but I don’t expect him to do much of anything the rest of the season while Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas both struggled, but I think they’ll finish in the top five in scoring by the end of the season.  With all the volatility, it can be tricky deciding who to start.  To help you make your tough lineup calls, you can find our top 25 WR to start here on FanSided each Thursday.
