Your WR top 80 8.0 is here! We’re getting some studs back playing on the field, so that’s a bonus to the upper tier. As a rule, injuries will always bump guys down. I am generally pessimistic that players will return on time at full strength without a setback.
This list is not league or format specific, but it is based on 2020 rest-of-season projection only. When thinking through tiers and rankings I asked myself simply – “all things considered who would I rather have on my roster?”
| Rank | Change | Name | Team | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | ||||
| 1 | DeAndre Hopkins | ARI | ||
| 2 | +4 | Davante Adams | GB | Back, healthy and saw 10 targets; game on |
| 3 | -1 | Tyreek Hill | KC | |
| Tier 2 | ||||
| 4 | -1 | Calvin Ridley | ATL | |
| 5 | -1 | Stefon Diggs | BUF | |
| 6 | +14 | Julio Jones | ATL | Welcome back |
| 7 | Michael Thomas | NO | ||
| 8 | -3 | Adam Thielen | MIN | Touchdown machine but any given week isn’t the WR1 on his own team |
| 9 | -1 | D.K. Metcalf | SEA | |
| Tier 3 | ||||
| 10 | +6 | Will Fuller | HOU | This is what we all dreamed could happen |
| 11 | -1 | Tyler Lockett | SEA | |
| 12 | -1 | Kenny Golladay | DET | A TD or 100 yards in every game this season |
| 13 | -4 | Amari Cooper | DAL | Dalton might cause more of a drop than previously anticipated |
| 14 | +4 | A.J. Brown | TEN | He’s 100% back and it’s glorious |
| 15 | -3 | Mike Evans | TB | Week 6 was the valley game I knew was coming, with Godwin healthy could happen more often |
| 16 | -3 | Allen Robinson | CHI | |
| 17 | +2 | Keenan Allen | LAC | |
| Tier 4 | ||||
| 18 | -3 | Robert Woods | LAR | The TDs are hitting but overall volume capping upside |
| 19 | -5 | Robby Anderson | CAR | |
| 20 | +2 | Terry McLaurin | WAS | Still put up 7-74 on 12 targets against a sneaky good D |
| 21 | +4 | Chris Godwin | TB | The Bucs offense just doesn’t want to play fast and loose, Brady wants to control games |
| 22 | -5 | CeeDee Lamb | DAL | It’s one game, but Dalton not looking like the solution for Dak’s absence |
| 23 | +10 | Justin Jefferson | MIN | Trading off with Adam Thielen but three 100 yard games in the last 4 |
| 24 | +5 | Tee Higgins | CIN | 3 weeks in a row on the rise |
| 25 | -4 | Tyler Boyd | CIN | |
| Tier 5 | ||||
| 26 | +4 | Brandin Cooks | HOU | The Texans have no choice but to try and trade scores every game |
| 27 | -4 | Diontae Johnson | PIT | |
| 28 | -4 | Cooper Kupp | LAR | |
| 29 | +3 | D.J. Moore | CAR | Popped back into our hearts with 11 targets; was it because Samuel was out? |
| 30 | -4 | DeVante Parker | MIA | |
| 31 | +10 | Chase Claypool | PIT | Could be the WR1 in Pitt but for now, moved him up to second place |
| 32 | -5 | Odell Beckham | CLE | |
| 33 | -5 | Juju Smith-Schuster | PIT | |
| 34 | -3 | Jamison Crowder | NYJ | Still a WR3 but this team is caving in fast |
| 35 | Deebo Samuel | SF | ||
| 36 | +4 | Mike Williams | LAC | Herbert is unlocking this offense, but week to week liable to have a 1-12-0 line |
| Tier 6 | ||||
| 37 | -1 | Brandon Aiyuk | SF | |
| 38 | -4 | Laviska Shenault Jr | JAC | |
| 39 | +3 | Henry Ruggs III | LV | |
| 40 | -3 | DJ Chark | JAC | |
| 41 | -3 | Michael Gallup | DAL | |
| 42 | -3 | Marquise Brown | BAL | |
| 43 | +12 | A.J. Green | CIN | A week of relevance, perhaps to drum up trade interest? |
| 44 | +15 | Jalen Reagor | PHI | Was hoping he’d get activated off IR this week; should walk into a feature role |
| 45 | -1 | Darius Slayton | NYG | |
| Tier 7 | ||||
| 46 | +31 | Tim Patrick | DEN | 15 targets over the last 2 games turned into 10-214-1 and there’s not much competition |
| 47 | -2 | Russell Gage | ATL | |
| 48 | -2 | Jerry Jeudy | DEN | |
| 49 | +27 | Cole Beasley | BUF | On a career high pace in 2020 |
| 50 | -3 | Julian Edelman | NE | A poor man’s Cole Beasley now |
| 51 | +2 | Preston Williams | MIA | Another TD and he’s still barely a fantasy starter |
| 52 | -3 | Emmanuel Sanders | NO | |
| 53 | +14 | Travis Fulgham | PHI | Making a case to remain involved even with a healthy WR group |
| Tier 8 | ||||
| 54 | -3 | Randall Cobb | HOU | |
| 55 | -3 | Marquez Valdes-Scantling | GB | |
| 56 | -13 | Jarvis Landry | CLE | One game over 6 targets, two games over 50 yards |
| 57 | -7 | TY Hilton | IND | Production has completely evaporated |
| 58 | -4 | Hunter Renfrow | LV | |
| 59 | NR | Demarcus Robinson | KC | Could be relevant while Sammy Watkins is out |
| 60 | -4 | John Brown | BUF | |
| 61 | +2 | Christian Kirk | ARI | Signs of life on MNF |
| 62 | -13 | Sammy Watkins | KC | |
| Tier 9 | ||||
| 63 | -3 | Gabriel Davis | BUF | |
| 64 | -3 | Darnell Mooney | CHI | |
| 65 | -7 | Mecole Hardman | KC | Probably needs a Hill injury to become relevant |
| 66 | -2 | Corey Davis | TEN | Off COVID list, but what’s his role upon return? |
| 67 | -2 | Marvin Jones | DET | |
| 68 | -2 | Bryan Edwards | LV | |
| 69 | NR | Denzel Mims | NYJ | Could provide a spark once he returns and Gase is fired |
| Tier 10 | ||||
| 70 | -1 | James Washington | PIT | |
| 71 | -14 | Tre’Quan Smith | NO | Loses any real appeal with Thomas back |
| 72 | -1 | Curtis Samuel | CAR | |
| 73 | NR | Breshad Perriman | NYJ | Just throw darts at NYJ pass catchers if you’re desperate |
| 74 | -1 | Andy Isabella | ARI | |
| 75 | -1 | DeSean Jackson | PHI | |
| 76 | -1 | Golden Tate | NYG | |
| 77 | NR | Tyler Johnson | TB | 1 target, 1 touchdown on Sunday; a good stash if an injury happens to Godwin or Evans |
| 78 | NR | Marcus Johnson | IND | Came out of nowhere to lead the team with 8 targets and a 5-105 line |
| 79 | -1 | Keelan Cole | JAC | |
| 80 | NR | Cedrick Wilson | DAL | On the fantasy radar; stash if anyone ahead gets injured |

Is it worth pursuing Lamb in a trade at this point? How big a hit do you see his value taking ROS?
Also wondering about Claypool ROS with Diontae back. Would you still be looking to buy?
I’d wanna get Claypool but the role is a bit uncertain. He’s still a WR3 range for me
Oh yeah I’d def want to get Lamb if there was any discount. Talent finds a way and he’s got loads of it. Plus DAL still gonna have to throw a ton
Dynasty, std scoring, top 3 of this group for next yr and beyond?
Higgins, Ruggs, Aiyuk, Shenault, Reagor
Reagor, Higgins, Shenault
DJ Moore is tough to trust right now. Is there a chance he could retake the top spot in Carolina? Does it not matter because it’s Carolina? Cooks and Higgins on the WW.
Can’t drop DJM but I’d pick up Higgins with his upside or Cooks if you can drop another guy
You forgot to put Antonio brown in your tier 2 zzzzz the hype train is ridiculous right now
that’s probably why not there. the large r word you mentioned.
Hahahahaha lets get him signed on a team and active on a Sunday first
I know this is a WR column, but I’ve been holding onto ogzibo on IR (deep league). Will he be relevant or am I better of getting Sony Michel on my IR slot
Mims available too
Add Mims or Sony
No reason for Jax to go away from Jrob
Would you speculate and add antonio brown if you had room? Would you cut somebody like Josh kelly for him to make room? My team has been decimated by injuries and while it is a long shot, I am looking for anyone who may help. Thx
Nah keep Kelley… here’s who I dropped to add AB in a league – Mo Alie Cox.
Don’t drop anyone of startable value
Drake and Taylor for Hill and Freeman. Full PPR league?
I think I’d want Hill if you could spare the RB depth
Should I trade c.cupp for Michael Thomas
No, unless you just have to have production now
Even then I’d try to get someone better than Kupp
Do i dare say the name…… Antonio Brown
Would you drop cam akers or dobbins for him I’m tempted to pick him up. Seattle is an option and if he has russel throwing to him he could be a steal
he’s eligible to play in 2 weeks do u think he will be fantasy relevant?
I wouldn’t add AB unless it’s dropping a totally useles guy
For instance I dropped Mo AlieCox for him
Dobbins could blow up with Ingram out. Akers is one good game from a jump in use/value. AB will be the 3rd option on SEA… don’t fall for the name. Guy hasn’t played in almost 2 years. It’s hard to come back and be dominant. Ask Gronk
10 team 10 point bonus at 100 rushing or receiving yards non ppr
Would you drop Antonio brown for Christian Kirk or Gio Bernard or hold
Qb- Herbert, Dalton
Wr-Julio ,scary terry ,obj,d.parker,e.sanders, Antonio brown
Rb-mike Davis , j. Taylor ,a.gibson,d Swift ,L.Bell,Lindsay
Te-Engram,Cook
IR-nick Chubb ,Goedert
Dillon and ty hilton also available
Antonio Brown to visit Buccaneers tomorrow both sides want to get a deal done
Al ;
My current RB’s are Aaron Jones, Dalvin Cooks, Monty, and James Robinson, Chase Edmonds . Currently have Calvin Ridley as one of my WR, along with Robert Woods, DJ Moore.
My question is;
Would you trade James Robinson for Julio Jones? *(FULL PPR) * Would it be a problem starting both Ridley and Julio week to week?
