Remains one of the best handcuff receivers in football; ranked WR60.

Sometimes Jameis might get confused and mistake Fields for Malik Nabers; ranked WR59.

Yet to reach 30 yards in a game or find the end zone inside this broken offense.

Has snatched Isaac TeSlaa's chain as the league leader in most fun per reception.

Posted 53, 76 and 60 yards in his last three games.

Just 50 combined yards across the last two weeks in this broken offense.

Ranked WR54 in a revenge game against Indianapolis.

Set season highs in targets (8) and snaps (69%); the rookie has a long TD called back by an illegal shift and iffy holding penalty. Williams continues to flash with his opportunities and is looking at more of them with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) potentially sidelined this week.

Posted 3-60-1 and 3-74-1 performances the last two weeks; the source sarcastically notes that people are saying Wilson might be the best NFL player from that Michigan national championship team.

Pending recovery from his groin injury (not an adductor injury).

Leads the league in yards per reception (23.3) and is averaging a healthy 15.5 yards per target, which only trails Zay Flowers; the source suggests throwing the football to Noel more often and seeing what happens.

Ranked WR49 with favorable matchup against Dallas on Thursday night.

Came crashing back to earth right as managers finally worked up the courage to start him; that's fantasy football in a nutshell.

Electric 28-yard rushing TD last week featured Shaheed lined up as a true RB; maybe more is to come with this Seahawks backfield remaining so banged up. Similar to Marvin Harrison Jr., the source is mostly just elevating Shaheed thanks to the potential shootout game script against San Francisco.

Scored a TD last week, got another end zone target on a contested slant and dropped a would-be second TD that he also drew a DPI on; progress. The matchup against Detroit lifts Marv into the boom-or-bust WR4 conversation.

Looks poised to see something close to a full-time role with Mack Hollins (calf) joining A.J. Brown (ankle) on the sideline. The artist known as Pop has always been a threat in the open field, and now he could be Drake Maye's No. 2 target behind only Romeo Doubs. Add it all together, and you get a low-end WR4.

Scored 12 PPR points in a game only once in his last 16 games; last week Egbuka barely got to 12 yards. That said, the matchup against Dallas on Thursday night is winnable, and Jalon Daniels didn't look completely lost in his first career start.

Scored in back-to-back weeks, and Cam Ward didn't look THAT bad in Week 4; progress for the $70 million receiver. This passing game certainly flows through Carnell Tate first and foremost, but Wan'Dale is deserving of WR4 treatment in full-PPR formats.

Shakir's ranking wouldn't move as much with DJ Moore's potential absence; he's his usual PPR-friendly WR4 self ahead of Monday night against the Rams.

Trails only Zay Flowers and Drake London in yards per target this season (16 targets); played a season-high 78 percent of the offense's snaps last week and looks to have won out over Joshua Palmer for No. 3 WR duties. Would move Coleman up inside the top 30 if DJ Moore (shoulder) is unavailable for Monday night's potential shootout against the Rams. The source credits the 23-year-old talent for largely doing nothing other than keeping his head down and making plays this season.

Only Carnell Tate (32) has more targets than KC (28) without a receiving touchdown; the rookies are due. Good news: Concepcion has racked up 17 targets in the last two weeks inside a Browns passing game that inexplicably isn't that bad. The source is still holding the talented first-round pick on the bench in fantasy leagues.

Caught 7 of 9 targets for 82 yards against the Jaguars in Week 4 and looked really good; the 26-year-old former undrafted talent is suddenly looking at a full-time role with Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) presumably sidelined. Could move as high as WR30 if Tee Higgins (adductor) is also out, though the Bengals have a Week 6 bye so don't expect this to last too long.

Would get into the top-30 conversation if Justin Jefferson is again sidelined, but it was disappointing to see just six targets last week without the team's No. 1 WR; currently ranked WR38.

Murray is looking like one of the league's worst passers to anyone not named T.J. Hockenson, which is why the source's lukewarm ranking of Vikings receivers like Jordan Addison is far more due to Murray's poor passing than any sort of indictment to the talent level of these receivers.

The source notes the Ravens have the easiest matchups in Weeks 5-10 in terms of opponent PPR points per game allowed to opposing WRs, with a note to 'please get healthy, Lamar Jackson,' indicating Jackson's health is key to the Ravens' passing game benefiting from this favorable schedule.

The source notes the Rams have the easiest matchups in Weeks 5-10 in terms of opponent PPR points per game allowed to opposing WRs, with a note to 'please stay healthy, Puka Nacua,' indicating Nacua is the primary beneficiary of this favorable schedule.

The source notes the Giants have the easiest matchups in Weeks 5-10 in terms of opponent PPR points per game allowed to opposing WRs, with a note to 'please stay healthy, Malik Nabers,' indicating Nabers is the primary beneficiary of this favorable schedule.

Chase is presumably sidelined with a concussion, opening up a full-time role for Dohnte Meyers.

Meyers caught 7 of 9 targets for 82 yards against the Jaguars in Week 4 and looked really good; the 26-year-old former undrafted talent is suddenly looking at a full-time role with Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) presumably sidelined.

Addison would get into the top-30 conversation if Justin Jefferson is again sidelined, but it was disappointing to see just six targets last week without the team's No. 1 WR; the lukewarm ranking is far more due to Kyler Murray looking like one of the league's worst passers to anyone not named T.J. Hockenson than any sort of indictment to the talent level of these receivers.

The absence of Pat Bryant (ankle) gets this passing game back to the Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton show, but the source questions whether Sutton is really washed at this point; Sutton has career lows in literally everything and the film looks rough; only Marvin Harrison Jr., Makai Lemon and Bryce Lance have averaged fewer yards per route run.

Odunze turned in season highs across the board in his 6-94-0 effort in Week 4; the problem with expecting too much consistency is the reality that the Bears continue to use Odunze as their primary downfield threat—only six of 54 wide receivers who have run 100 routes have an average route depth of more than 11 yards, and Odunze is one of them alongside Jameson Williams, Rashod Bateman, Marvin Harrison Jr., Courtland Sutton and Kayshon Boutte; Odunze has posted the fourth-most average separation yards among WRs; up next is a Packers defense that Odunze has averaged 42 scoreless yards against in three career meetings.

Meyers being the PPR WR36 this season is the most Jakobi Meyers thing ever; bigger days could be ahead if anyone out there ever forces the Jaguars into a back-and-forth shootout, but for now it's tough to get too optimistic about the ceiling here with fewer than five targets in all but one game this season.

Tucker had a case of the butterfingers last week but still has posted solid enough 5-119-1, 4-43-0 and 4-44-0 receiving lines across his last three games; expecting more of the former outcomes while Brock Bowers is alive and well is probably wishful thinking, but Kirk Cousins is suddenly playing awesome football again so maybe his No. 1 WR can at least provide upside WR3 numbers; the source is way more willing to buy into that idea if ace Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) remains sidelined; Jalen Nailor (concussion) is tentatively expected to join Jack Bech (forearm, IR) on the sideline this week.

Downs turned in a season-low effort in usage and production in an island game without Alec Pierce (foot, IR) or Keenan Allen (groin); while Downs is a very good real life receiver, it is becoming increasingly clear that Daniel Jones is a shell of his best self in 2026 with career lows in QBR (37.4) and yards per attempt (5.7) through four weeks; combined with Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell unironically being the team's deep threats, defenses have made it easy to zero in on Downs and Tyler Warren in the underneath areas; Pittsburgh has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per game to slot receivers this season.

McConkey exited after just 24 snaps while trying to play through a foot injury in Week 4 and the Chargers could be without both of their starting tackles; Justin Herbert has been downright bad all season; McConkey is a certifiably good receiver who has been pretty much the lone bright spot in this offense all season, but any sort of uncertainty surrounding his game status and health will make it difficult to start him with any level of confidence against a Broncos secondary that has limited him to 4-43-0, 4-41-0 and 6-87-0 receiving lines over the years.

Tate turned 12 targets into a breakout 9-145-0 receiving line in Week 4; the only 21-year-old wide receivers with more in a game since 2020 are Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Malik Nabers; while this week's matchup with the Texans could be tough if Tate gets shadow treatment from Derek Stingley, the stud corner hasn't consistently traveled with No. 1 WRs this season and has spent 79 percent of his snaps as the defense's outside left cornerback, so Tennessee should be able to let Tate feast on Kamari Lassiter who has allowed the fourth most receptions (21) and sixth most yards (244) among defensive players this season.

Washington has 15 targets and four rush attempts the last two weeks with De'Von Achane out of the picture; the short receptions add up in a hurry in full-PPR land and Washington deserves credit for making fun plays after the catch, tied with Luther Burden for the position lead in tackles avoided this season; WR1-worthy boom weeks are unlikely, but Washington could finish as a volume-based WR3 when the season is done.

Deebo looks good and the 49ers offense looks great; he's averaging his most yards per reception (13.2) since 2023 alongside a whopping 10.6 yards per rush—Samuel's most since his rookie season; the veteran leads the league in yards after contact and tackles avoided per carry, warranting top-30 treatment with room to grow if he gets more consistent volume.

Vele is the WR16 in PPR points this season and that doesn't seem too fluky considering his 31 targets are tied for the 13th most at the position; the 28-year-old third-year talent is in a pass-happy Saints offense doing enough to keep him and TE Juwan Johnson as very fantasy-relevant pieces alongside Chris Olave, though this week's matchup against Brian Flores and the Vikings' league-best scoring defense is brutal.
