Welcome to Part III of my final rankings. You can find my July WR rankings, tiers, and player commentary here: WRs. At each position, I’m providing my final rankings and tiers while informing you of major changes.
Here’s where you can find all my preseason draft prep content, including all of my final rankings, sleepers, players to avoid and target at ADP, draft tips, a Giants fantasy preview, and more: Fantasy Football Hub.
My WR rankings haven’t changed all that much in the last month. The biggest fallers include Terry McLaurin, Chris Godwin, and Rashee Rice. Big risers include everyone’s preseason darlings Emeka Egbuka and Ricky Piersall, and lower down, Keenan Allen and DeMario Douglas. Of the higher ranked receivers, old reliable Mike Evans received the biggest bump from the preseason.
I’ve organized the wide receivers into tiers, as I do at every position. You should do the same. In a nutshell, everyone wants the best players, and a tiered approach allows fantasy managers to have a great view of (a) ranges of players who can be expected to have similar fantasy production, (b) where the drop-offs are between those ranges, and (c) how many players in a range remain available at any given time. Tiers really help when position runs come, and they facilitate more effective drafting, regardless of whether you use a snake or auction format.
My WR rankings and tiers are for Half-Point PPR. In Full PPR, the target hogs climb the rankings some. Note: How you approach this position depends in part on the size of your league and its starting lineup requirements.
