WR1: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions ($7,100)

In terms of consistent fantasy performers, Amon-Ra St. Brown is up there with the best of the best. Even with an injury costing him a few games this season, St. Brown ranks as the overall WR11 on the season, which is higher than guys like Tee Higgins, D.K. Metcalf, and Deebo Samuel.

St. Brown and the Lions take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, who allow the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. St. Brown has been generally matchup-proof this season, as his high volume role makes him as sure of a bet as you can get in fantasy football.

WR2: Garrett Wilson, New York Jets ($5,300)

Garrett Wilson has consistently been the best receiver on the Jets this season. Even while playing with Zach Wilson, he’s had a few top-15 finishes. Now, with Mike White under center, he’s set up for possibly the best play of his rookie season.

Last week, Wilson caught 5-of-8 targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns, as he led the team in receiving and looked like White’s favorite target. Expect a similar output from him when the Jets take on the Vikings, who allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

WR3: George Pickens, Pittsburgh Steelers ($5,100)

George Pickens has been the favorite target of rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, and their connection in recent weeks is a sign of things to come for the Steelers’ future. Seemingly a highlight play waiting to happen, Pickens has been one of, if not the best player on the Steelers offense.

This week, Pickens gets a great matchup against an Atlanta Falcons vanilla secondary that allows the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Pickens has big-play upside every week, and one of those plays could propel this lineup into the winning ranks.
