Running back, wide receiver, and tight end all see shakeups in their rankings in PPR leagues compared to standard, but just how pronounced are the differences? For wideouts, it’s not as dramatic as it is for backs, but it’s still important to note which players are more appealing in PPR formats. While the players at the top, such as Stefon Diggs and Davante Adams, are equally as valuable across both formats last season, more mid-tier and late-round sleepers emerge when you factor in even a half-point uptick per reception. Our 2021 fantasy WR PPR rankings highlight those players, as well as pass-catchers who go from “good” to “great.”
Take Keenan Allen for example. In standard formats last season, Allen finished as the No. 18 WR. However, he finished at No. 13 in PPR formats. The difference lies in the obvious points per reception and average yards per reception. Allen charted 100 catches (tied for fifth) but produced just 9.9 yards per reception (96th among WRs). In formats that don’t reward receptions, it’s easy to see why he fell to a slightly more pedestrian ranking.
On the flip side, Chase Claypool was up nine spots (14th) in standard compared to PPR. Registering just 62 receptions last year, Claypool had a limited PPR ceiling. But with 14.1 yards per reception and 11 total touchdowns (including two rushing), he was able to maximize his touches to the fullest extent, a recipe for standard success from a lower-volume player.
In PPR formats specifically, target share and an offenses’ passing volume is extra significant. Players who are force-fed passes are highly valuable, regardless of whether they have big-play ability. Route-running technicians who command volume are the most reliable in PPR, especially if they are also explosive downfield receivers. However, there are players who are explosive downfield receivers that aren’t going to see a large number of receptions — Claypool, Mike Williams, etc. Of course they are still valuable to a roster, but not in the same way reception hogs are.
Look for players who are set to see a lot more targets and receptions due to vacated targets from last year, such as Calvin Ridley with the loss of Julio Jones or D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson with Curtis Samuel out of town, or guys like Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods, CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper, Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel, or DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault Jr., whose offenses are set to take a step forward in passing volume and efficiency. These players range from elite options to mid-tier breakout candidates. Meanwhile, guys like Tyler Boyd, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, Cole Beasley, Antonio Brown, Darnell Mooney, Jalen Reagor, and DeVonta Smith also play in high-volume offenses that should give them plenty of opportunities to be every-week WR2/3s in PPR.
Wide receiver is always a deep position in fantasy, and you can find players later in the draft who are set to command a lot of targets. Just make sure to understand the format of your league before the draft and evaluate the difference between PPR and standard rankings.
We’ll be adjusting these WR PPR rankings and providing further analysis from now until Week 1, so check back for updates.
2021 Fantasy WR PPR Rankings
Rankings are based on full-point PPR scoring formats
-
#1
Davante Adams, Packers
With Aaron Rodgers now poised to remain the Packers quarterback in 2021, Adams will once again sit near the top of the league in targets, yards, and touchdowns. Yes, 18 touchdowns from 2020 will be tough to replicate, but he’ll see plenty of opportunity in the red zone. Adams should still serve as the security blanket in the offense. Expect a flurry of targets once again, after he led all WRs in target share last season at 33.93 percent.
-
#2
DeAndre Hopkins, Cardinals
In the thick of his prime, Hopkins will continue dominating with weekly monster fantasy outings. While touchdowns are fluid, last year’s six scores feels like his floor, so there’s decent likelihood he improves on last year’s performance that saw him finish fourth among WRs in PPR leagues and 10th in standard leagues.
-
Like Hopkins, Diggs is entering year two with his star young quarterback. Diggs has been a solid fantasy option before emerging to elite status in 2020 with a top-five finish in fantasy points per game(FPPG). Diggs ranked third in 2020 in target share (29.2 percent) and will enjoy a stellar fantasy season even if that figure drops a bit.
-
#4
Calvin Ridley, Falcons
There is some worry among the fantasy community thatRidley is somehow hindered with the loss of Julio Jones. It’s the age-old question of whether Julio’s departure means more coverage or more targets for Ridley. The fear is not warranted. In eight career games without Jones, Ridley has averaged 11.1 targets, 7.3 receptions, and 107 yards. He’s going to be just fine, and you can confidently press the draft button on him.
-
Hill finished 2020 right on the heels of Davante Adams for the top WR spot. With the uncertainty surrounding the Aaron Rodgers situation, Hill should be taken as the first wideout off the board in standard leagues, though his semi-reliance on big plays dings him a bit in PPR.
-
Robinson is QB-proof. From Blake Bortles to Mitchell Trubisky, he continues to put together top-15 fantasy campaigns. Oddly enough, Andy Dalton is likely an upgrade from the quarterbacks he’s been playing with. If Justin Fields is the real deal and earns the starting job, Robinson’s ceiling could be higher than we’ve ever seen. Tied for fourth in red-zone targets in 2020 (23), he’s a premier go-getter.
-
Metcalf ranked No. 5 in standard leagues at the position last season. While he’s viable in all formats, standard leagues is where he’s the most attractive commodity. Russell Wilson’s willingness to let it rip deep, combined with Metcalf’s elite size and speed sets up for potential nuclear outings each week. In 2020, Metcalf ranked third in yards/reception among wide receivers who caught 54-plus passes.
-
#8
Justin Jefferson, Vikings
Jefferson startedthe 2020 season on the bench, leading to panic among his fantasy owners. After his breakout week against Tennessee in Week 3 (23.5 FP), Jefferson found himself within the top six in total fantasy pointsat season’s end. He ranked fourth in the NFL in receiving yards (1,400) on just 88 catches. If he’s anywhere near his 2020 yards/ per reception average (15.9), a 100-catch season could yield a top-five finish.
-
#9
Keenan Allen, Chargers
Year two with Justin Herbert should mean excellence from Allen. Yes, he’s 29, but he’s still one of the premier route runners in the league. Those guys stick around. While his aDot of 7.29 isn’t all that impressive in standard formats, the sheer number of targets and receptions he draws makes him a great option at WR. In PPR, Allen is comfortably ranked inside the top 10. He sees just a slight drop in standard.
-
Lamb is expected to take the next step as the No. 1 WR in a high-powered Dallas offense. He finished just one spot behind Amari Cooper at WR20 last year, all while dealing with the likes of Andy Dalton and Ben DiNucci at QB. With Dak Prescott back at the helm, a 1,000-yard receiving season is iminent.
-
Before the addition of Julio Jones to the Titans, Brown probably would’ve ranked closer to the top five. Even so, Brown is still a top-10 standard scoring option. He makes every reception count, breaking 13 tackles on receptions in 2020, third best in the NFL and second among wide receivers. He can score on a long ball, take a slant the distance, or just beast a corner in the end zone.
-
#12
Terry McLaurin, Washington
Third-year McLaurin should be the best version of himself. Gone are the days of Dwayne Haskins and Alex Smith. Oddly enough, Ryan Fitzpatrick raises the bar for the offense and McLaurin. We’ve seen Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson, Chris Godwin, and DeVante Parker have tremendous fantasy success with Fitzmagic behind center. Parker finished 2019 as the No. 6 wideout in standard scoring fantasy with Fitzpatick at the helm. As WFT’s No. 1 option, McLaurin cements himself in the top 15.
-
No player is set to be more enhanced by a change at quarterback than Kupp. Kupp’s aDot of 6.44 is ugly, but Matthew Stafford will raise everyone’s aDot on the roster. After all, that’s the reason the Rams made the blockbuster QB trade. While the Rams aren’t going to completely abandon the run with theloss of Cam Akers, it can be assumed they’ll now pass more often. Kupp saw 125 targets and netted 978 yards last season. If his aDot and/or targets increase even a hair, he will be a big factor. You can also expect his career-low three TDs from last year to be closer to his totals the previous two seasons (16 in 22 games).
-
#14
Amari Cooper, Cowboys
Anytime you can get a piece of the Cowboys offense, do it. Cooper and Lamb are ranked closely together for a reason. They are the only receiving duo to both be inside the top 16. Dallas’ explosive offense will net smiling faces on the owners of their players. And like Lamb, Cooper still carved out a nice year with a bad QB situation in place. The only worry is an ankle injury that’s still bothering him in the preseason, but if healthy, Cooper will be solid.
-
#15
Mike Evans, Buccaneers
For those who have rostered Evans in the past, you know it’s a game of Russian Roulette. You can’t necessarily trust him week to week, but he will provide several mind-blowing games throughout the season. In 2020, he produced as low as 1.0 points and as high as 30.1 points. That gives the idea of his range of outcomes. On the bright side, he did record 21 red-zone targets in 2020, good for 11th in the league, with nine red-zone touchdowns. And in the end, he finished 10th in FPPG. On another note, a fully healthy season of Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, and Rob Gronkowski may limit his upside. He should be a weekly feature in boom-or-bust articles.
-
Moore’s talent alone could place him within the top 10 of the rankings. Unfortunately, he’s going into another year with a questionable QB. With Teddy Bridgewater at the helm of the Panthers offense last year, Moore racked up the fifth-most air yards. Air yards account for total yards of his targets, whether complete or incomplete. He also finished with an aDOT above well-known deep threats Tyreek Hill and DK Metalf (13.36). If somehow Panthers OC Joe Brady can unlock Sam Darnold’s potential, Moore is completely equipped to break out in a big way.
-
Woods outperformed Kupp in 2020, mostly due to doubling him in touchdowns (six to three). They saw eerily similar targets, catches, and yards. Both are a part of an emerging electric offense in LA, but we expect Kupp to garner more of the touchdowns in 2021.
-
#18
Tyler Lockett, Seahawks
Lockett finished 2020 as WR11 despite notable inconsistence. Eight of his 10 receiving touchdowns came in just three games in which 52.6 percent of Lockett’s total fantasy points came from. When he was on, he was on. When he wasn’t on, it wasn’t pretty for your team. With a change at OC in Seattle, the passing volume of the offense is presumed to be pointing up, hopefully leading to a more consistent Lockett.
-
#19
Michael Thomas, Saints
Thomas let down fantasy owners in 2020, and many are quick to write him off. It’s important to rememberhe dealt with a lingering high ankle sprain all season and never got back into his true form. Still, he remained among the top-four wide receivers in target share when he was on the field (27.8 percent). If Jameis Winston is QB1 in New Orleans, a healthy Thomas will see plenty of opportunity. As weird as it may sound, Winston is an upgrade in the Saints air attack over a weaker-armed Drew Brees, at least in terms of yardage potential for the WRs. Unfortunately, Thomas is already having injury issues, as it’s been reported he might miss the first few weeks of the season after surgery on the same ankle that gave him so many problems last year. Even if Thomas is cleared for Week 1, he’s still a risk to see recurring problems throughout the season, which is why he’s ranked so low.
-
While Jones’ arrival in Tennessee enhances its offense, his ceiling is undoubtedly lower. The Falcons aired it out 144 more times than the Titans in 2020. Put simply, the volume will not be what it was in Atlanta for Jones. He still remains in the top 20 due to his presumed efficiency in an already efficient offense. He’ll still see plenty of opportunities, but it will likely be a far cry from his 10.5 targets/game in his last full season, especially with an already established alpha receiver in A.J. Brown lining up in the same offense. A lot has been made of Julio’s injury concerns, but prior to last season, he had missed just four of the past 96 games for the Falcons. Hopefully his seven missed games last season doesn’t become a pattern.
-
#21
Chris Godwin, Buccaneers
Even with a crowded skill position group in Tampa Bay, Godwin could see a return to closer to his 2018 form in which he finished No. 2 among WRs. The Bucs franchise-tagged Godwin and were unable to reach an extension with him before the July 15 deadline. Godwin knows a great year means serious long-term money next offseason. Bank on him taking it to the bank.
-
Deebo Samuel was once thought of as the future No. 1 receiver in San Francisco — that is, until Aiyuk emerged. After missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury, Aiyuk struggled in his first action in Week 2. From Week 3 to Week 15, Aiyuk was No. 9 in FPPG at the position. He saw 13 and 16 targets in the thick of the fantasy playoffs in Weeks 14 and 15, rewarding fantasy owners that stuck with him. Regardless of who’s under center for the Niners, Aiyuk is primed to challenge George Kittle as the primary weapon in the offense. FantasyPros also ranks the 49ers wide receivers as the group with the easiest strength of schedule in 2021
-
#23
Robby Anderson, Panthers
While D.J. Moore was used as the deep threat in Carolina, Anderson became the underneath man for Teddy Bridgewater. If that recipe remains true, Anderson could see another flurry of targets (138 in 2020). Again, it remains to be seen if there will be competence at the Panther’s quarterback position.
-
#24
Odell Beckham Jr., Browns
Before suffering a torn ACL in Week 7, Beckham Jr. showed flashes of his old self that we hadn’t yet seen in Cleveland. In Week 4, he exploded for 33.4 fantasy points. Unfortunately, he was a frustrating option at other points in the year. On the bright side, he saw eight or more targets in three of the seven games he played, possibly foreshadowing a future with consistent opportunities. If Beckham doesn’t hit this year, he likely won’t again.
-
#25
Adam Thielen, Vikings
Thielen was an elite wideout in fantasy in 2020 with a 14-touchdown campaign. While that number should come down to earth, he’s still very much a fantasy-relevant option. Justin Jefferson and Thielen both commanded around a 25-percent target share and an aDot around 11.4. The Vikings didn’t add any significant pass-catchers in the offseason, so much of the same can be expected, with Thielen seeing just a slight drop at worst.
-
#26
Diontae Johnson, Steelers
Johnson is often criticized over his league-leading 16 drops, but he did lead the Steelers in receiving yards (924) and targets (144). He and Claypool have seemed to overtake the once No. 1 option JuJu Smith-Schuster out wide. There’s a chance Johnson reached his fantasy ceiling last year, though. The Steelers offense was as pass happy as ever and should come down in volume a bit. Additionally, Najee Harris is likely to siphon targets from everyone.
-
#27
Juju Smith-Schuster, Steelers
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The man who was once poised to go nuclear with the departure of Antonio Brown in Pittsburgh now finds himself at the No. 35 spot in our rankings. As mentioned in the intro, Smith-Schuster found himself in a heavy-usage, low-result situation, becoming the dink-and-dunk man in the offense. Competing for targets with Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson, Najee Harris, and Pittsburgh’s TEs, things could continue to go south for JuJu. However, he is in a contract year and will be as motivated as ever to reclaim his spot as the ace wideout in black and gold. But for now, the Tik-Tok star is safely enlisted on the boom-or-bust list.
-
#28
Courtland Sutton, Broncos
Add Sutton to the growing list of WRs who sat out a big portion of the 2020 season. After a breakout 2019 season with 1,100 yards and six touchdowns (WR17), Sutton only appeared in the Broncos season opener the following season. His sophomore campaign looks even more impressive when you consider Joe Flacco and a rookie Drew Lock were his two facilitators. He has a great chance to return to form this season with analpha WR profile, and he should return as the No. 1 option in the Mile High City.
-
#29
Kenny Golladay, Giants
In Golladay’s last complete season, he finished third among all WRs in fantasy. He did so while catching just 56 percent of his targets and averaging 18.3 yards/reception. Unsurprisingly, that kind of statline netted a No. 9 ranking in PPR. No. 23 feels like a safe spot for Golladay heading into this year. It’s easy to sleep on Daniel Jones, but what if you knewhe was the league’s best deep passer in 2020?However, Jones will not be slinging it around like Matthew Stafford did in 2019. There are more mouths to feed in New York, including a possible 100-plus targets to Saquon Barkley, Don’t forget shiny first-round rookie KaDarius Toney. Golladay will likely join Lockett in a group of boom-or-bust wideouts each week — assuming he stays healthy after missing 11 games last year.
-
#30
DeVante Parker, Dolphins
Parker endured an underwhelming 2020 finish (7.4 FPPG), at least partially because of a lack of consistency from the quarterback position. It remains to be seen whether Miami will try to phase him out of the offense, or if the additions of Waddle and Fuller V will open up the field for him. Preston Williams is more likely to be the odd man out. Tua Tagovailoa is expected to take a step forward in year two, hopefully setting Parker up for a bounce-back season.
-
Beware. With a huge quarterback upgrade in Jacksonville, it’s easy to get excited about Chark. He enjoyed a Pro-Bowl season in 2019 and could return to form. However, he’s just as likely to get replaced as the Jags’ WR1 by Laviska Shenault or Marvin Jones. The target share is up in the air in a crowded WR room, but Chark gets the benefit of the doubt.
-
#32
Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals
Chase’s ceiling is somewhere around where Justin Jefferson’s was in his rookie season. However, rookies don’t always hit the ground running or make immediate impacts in fantasy. He projects as the No. 1 option in Cincinnati, but nothing is guaranteed with a rookie. He won’t bust like Henry Ruggs III or Denzel Mims, but it’s tough to automatically expect him to have Jefferson-like impact in year one. That is in his range of outcomes, though.
-
Samuel was once talked about in the same breath as A.J. Brown, DK Metcalf, and Terry McLaurin. The physical nature of his game has caused his body to fail him early in his career. He’s missed 10 games in his first two seasons as a pro. Last year, when healthy, he was used in the intermediate part of the field while Brandon Aiyuk became the primary WR in the offense. Samuel still presents fantasy upside with his elite YAC skills if the 49ers can stabilize their quarterback position and he can stay on the field.
-
The case for Higgins is that he stillcouldbe the Bengals No. 1 option over Ja’Marr Chase. Higgins could just as easily find himself leading the team in targets. While the odds may be stacked against this with Joe Burrow already having rapport with Chase, it’s not out of the realm of possibilities. Either way, both are worth having on your team. On a lesser scale, Cincinnati’s offense is similar to Dallas’ — you want a piece of it.
-
#35
Antonio Brown, Buccaneers
After a chaotic 2019 season in which Brown played only one game, he joined the Bucs in 2020. For the first time since his first few years in the league, he wasn’t the No. 1 option in an offense. However, he settled in nicely, carving out a role as a secondary receiver. From Weeks 10 to 17, Brown drew either the most or second-most targets among Tampa Bay pass-catchers, including a 13-target game in Week 10 and a 14-target game in Week 17. With a real offseason to jell with Tom Brady, Brown could find himself right in the thick of the Bucs passing game.
-
#36
DeVonta Smith, Eagles.
Coming off the heels of the greatest season ever by a college wide receiver, the naysayers point to Smith’s thin frame (6-0, 170 pounds) as the reason he won’t be successful. With elite route-running prowess and college production, he can certainly be the guy who overcomes those odds. The bigger issue is Jalen Hurts. Hurts was the most inaccurate passer in the league in 2020 (52.3 completion percentage). Smith’s profile isn’t made for contested catches. He needs a quarterback that can put it on him. If Hurts continues where he left off in the passing game, Smith won’t prove fruitful for your team in 2021. Fortunately, he should see a ridiculous amount of targets in a putrid Eagle wide receiver group. Be cautious in redraft leagues taking him too early.
-
#37
Chase Claypool, Steelers
Claypool is another guy in a crowded WR room. However, he is undoubtedly the top deep threat and red-zone target in the offense. In his rookie season, he tied for 13th with 20 red-zone looks (and also received several goal-line carries on end-arounds). The 6-2, 240-pound Claypool obviously possesses the size to be a contested catch machine in that area. He led all Steelers receivers in air yards (1,438) despite finishing third in targets (109). If JuJu Smith-Schuster had opted to go elsewhere, Claypool would be higher on the list. He likely will be in 2022.
-
#38
Mike Williams, Chargers
Think of Williams as a discount version of Kenny Golladay. He won’t catch a lot of balls, but he will deliver chunk plays that often produce good weeks. In 2019, he caught just 49 passes for 1,001 yards, averaging over 20 yards/reception (all career highs). In ’20, he caught just one less pass for 250 fewer yards and put up 13.2-plus fantasy points four times, having lackluster outings otherwise. His ceiling has been potentially raised by Justin Herbert’s rocket arm, but he still doesn’t look to be a reliable option week to week.
-
Jeudy didn’t exactly make the immediate impact some had hoped for in his rookie season. Even without Courtland Sutton in the fold, Jeudy caught just 52 of 113 targets, producing 6.6 FPPG. Of course, Drew Lock isn’t exactly the most friendly fantasy quarterback, but at least Jeudy did draw a large number of targets. Even if Sutton returns healthy and ready to take over the No. 1 WR spot, any improvement in Broncos’ quarterback play could mean an uptick for Jeudy. There will still be plenty of targets to go around.
-
#40
Michael Pittman Jr., Colts
Like Jeudy, Pittman Jr. had quite the underwhelming rookie campaign. He was used primarily as an underneath target, with an aDOT of 8.45 (lowest on the Colts). However, he is in prime position to be the No. 1 WR in Indianapolis. If Parris Campbell can stay healthy and take over the underneath role, the 6-4, 223-pound Pittman possesses the size to be an alpha receiver out wide. The last time Carson Wentz was adequately protected by his offensive line, he was in the thick of the MVP race. If Frank Reich pullsthatCarson Wentz out, Pittman should see deep, accurate targets.
-
Boyd has been criminally underrated as one of the best slot receivers in the league. Expect Cincinnati to be among the league leaders in pass attempts, with Boyd getting a decent share of the targets. He’s noticeably more valuable in PPR leagues.
-
#42
Jakobi Meyers, Patriots
Meyers is a strong candidate to become the bonafide WR1 in New England. With Julian Edelman retiring and N’Keal Harry’s trade request, Meyers and Nelson Agholor will contend for the nod. Meyers saw the most work in a putrid passing offense in 2020 (59 catches, 729 yards, zerotouchdowns). The impressive Meyers statistic was his26 percent target share(seventh among WRs).Cam Newton will likely be replaced with Mac Jones at some point this year, and it’s fair to assume the Pats passing offense will improve as a result.
-
#43
Will Fuller V, Dolphins
Tua Tagovailoa is no stranger to playing with serious speed. Between Henry Ruggs III and Jaylen Waddle at Alabama, he’s seen his fair share of wide-open receivers streaking down the field. That bodes well for Fuller, another guy that can turn a 50-catch season into 1,000 yards and a bunch of touchdowns. His concern has been health. Since entering the league in 2016, Fuller has missed 27 of 80 possible games. Last year looked to finally be the year he was going to stay healthy, but he gottagged with a six-game suspension, serving five of them at the end of last year. His 16-game pace would’ve amounted to 77 catches for 1,300 yards and 11 touchdowns. While those numbers are unlikely in a more balanced Miami offense, he’s capable of producing nuclear weeks after his Week 1 suspension is served.
-
#44
Brandin Cooks, Texans
Cooks has somehow quietly produced 1,000-yard seasons with four different NFL franchises (NO, NE, LAR, HOU). Just last year, he finished at the WR16 spot on a bad Houston team. His drop to the No. 42 ranking has everything to do with the presumed absence of Deshaun Watson. Whether Tyrod Taylor or Davis Mills is set to take over the Houston offense, it’s tough to see a scenario where Cooks is fantasy relevant on a weekly basis. However, if for some reason you’re adamant on having a piece of the Houston offense, he’s the guy.
-
While Hilton isn’t the elite fantasy option he once was under an Andrew Luck-led offense, he still finds himself in the top 50. He shouldn’t be considered the Colts WR1 this year, but it wouldn’t be totally surprising if it plays out that way.
-
#46
Jarvis Landry, Browns
Landry commanded an impressive target share once again in 2020 (24.2 percent, 17th among WRs). However, the Browns ranked 29th in the NFL in passing attempts (32.9). If the Cleveland offense trends more toward a pass-friendly attack, Landry is always a candidate for high success, especially in PPR formats. Since entering the league in ’14, Landry ranks third in total receptions (636), trailing only Deandre Hopkins and Julio Jones. Even though he’s used as an underneath specialist in a low-volume pass offense, he presents a decent fantasy floor, at least in PPR, based on the number of receptions he accumulates.
-
Reagor carries first-round draft capital with him into 2021. Yes, he was dissapointing in his rookie season (31 receptions, 396 yards, one receiving touchdown), but he’s going to get plenty of time and opportunity to prove he was worth the pick. He has big-play ability with a 13.4 aDOT in ’20 and looks to be the No. 2 WR in the Eagles offense. With a new coaching staff coming into the season, he’ll get a much needed fresh start in the offense.
-
#48
Christian Kirk, Cardinals
It’s a now-or-never year for Kirk in Arizona. With Larry Fitzgerald, who has been playing in the slot, likely out of the fold, Kirk should see his greatest opportunity. Kirk flashes potential but hasn’t quite put it all together. The Cardinals signed an aging A.J. Green in free agency and took Purdue receiver Rondale Moore in the second round of the NFL Draft, so there is a risk of diminished targets. The good news for Kirk is Arizona’s offennse will remain explosive.
-
#49
Marquise Brown, Ravens
Brown will finally get to play to his strengths in 2021. He’s not a No. 1 wide receiver; h’s a speedy field stretcher who can also make his money in the underneath game. Rashod Bateman’s arrival moves Hollywood into a more natural role. Expect his efficiency to climb to a career high.
-
#50
Curtis Samuel, Washington
Samuel joins a young and emerging group of skill players in Washington, where he will settle in nicely in the slot. In 2020, Samuel netted over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and is a threat to take carries out of the backfield. A receiver with rushing potential (41 carries in ’20) adds value to his fantasy profile. Washington possesses an elite defense, which tends to yield a lower-volume passing offense. If they pass more than we expect, Samuel could finish higher than his 56th ranking. But you shouldn’t expect him to see a ridiculous amount of volume.
