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
