Fantasy Football 2019 Wide Receiver Tier Rankings

Wide receivers are gaining more fantasy football value with quarterbacks throwing more passes per season, deepening the player pool.

The wide receiver position is the deepest in fantasy football. Most teams use a 3WR set, meaning there are 96 potential receivers with value available to draft. Some teams may even have four options depending on their offensive playbook.

The WR1 and WR3 have different roles in their offense and their ADP reflects that. A guy with 100-catch, 1,000-yard potential is going to be drafted rounds ahead of a 30-500-4 player. But, those players can be worth drafting in PPR and deeper standard leagues.

The NFL is changing to a passer-friendly league. With the rules to protect quarterbacks and coaches using a committee at running back, wide receivers are getting more targets which leads to more opportunity to rack up fantasy points.

Because of the extensive depth at the position, I expanding my rankings to the most I’ve done this season. I have my top 60 wide receivers for the 2019 fantasy season. That’s either six wide receivers per team in a 10-team league or four per team in a 12-team league, two of the most common format.

My rankings reflect leagues using standard scoring (non-PPR). There are a few players that would improve significantly if I were to use PPR scoring. Guys like Julian Edelman, Mike Evans and Tyler Boyd would be ranked higher.

The first two slides feature I lot of players, so I’m going to keep their outlooks brief. But look for more detail for the top 40.

Here is my final list of rankings, my top-60 wide receivers for the 2019 fantasy football season.
