Davante Adams has had a somewhat disappointing season aside from a couple of weeks. The running back shuffle happened last week, and now it’s time for the wideouts to go through the car wash. Here’s how I would rank and sort the wideouts if I were to draft from scratch today.
The Big Tickets
* $44 Tyreek Hill
* $43 A.J. Brown
* $42 Ja’Marr Chase
* $41 Stefon Diggs
* $41 CeeDee Lamb
* $40 Amon-Ra St. Brown
* $36 Keenan Allen
* $35 *Justin Jefferson
* $34 Cooper Kupp
* $33 Davante Adams
* $32 Jaylen Waddle
Brown managers can take heart in an easier fantasy playoff schedule: Seahawks, Giants, Cardinals. On the other hand, the challenge for the Eagles is the nasty slate they encounter after their bye week (Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Cowboys). Nevertheless, Brown is a reliable player who always finds a way to make the plays.
The Jefferson salary is an estimate, and there’s no guarantee on how healthy and sharp he’ll be when he returns to action. The same applies to Adams, who hasn’t had an ideal season, though there’s still hope for him in the long run.
Legitimate Building Blocks
* $27 Puka Nacua
* $25 Brandon Aiyuk
* $25 Chris Olave
* $25 DeVonta Smith
* $24 Amari Cooper
* $23 DJ Moore
* $22 DK Metcalf
* $22 Deebo Samuel
* $21 Mike Evans
* $21 Michael Pittman Jr.
* $20 Garrett Wilson
* $19 Chris Godwin
* $19 Christian Kirk
* $18 Adam Thielen
* $18 Tee Higgins
* $18 DeAndre Hopkins
* $18 Terry McLaurin
Smith probably gets a $2-4 bump forward with the Dallas Goedert injury. The key with players like him is to pair them with high-floor receivers in the upper tier. The same goes for the other building blocks, creating a balanced roster with both floor and upside.
Understand that the running backs and wideouts are subject to weekly changes based on performance. Games on the horizon typically change the landscape in fantasy football. Join me on Twitter for all the latest updates.
