Dynasty WR Rankings
In the first half of this season, I recommended adding DK Metcalf to your roster. His price is on the rise, but his upside is limited. Next year, he will face a new quarterback. While this could be a good thing, the Lions’ lack of a running game means the Ravens will be without a reliable outside RB. If that happens, Kirk should be a top target for Rodgers.
In addition, if you are considering drafting a dynasty wide receiver, consider putting a player like Cooper Kupp on your team. This former Michigan State University standout is already a dynasty favorite. He had a solid fantasy season in 2019-20, posting a 1,947-yard, 16-TD season. Despite his age, he is still a great buy in dynasty football. His 2022 potential is great, as he’ll be playing on an exciting offense.
The second tier is more established and offers better upside than the 9A-tier wideouts. These players are a bit older than their predecessors, but they have a lot of name recognition and are still primed to deliver in the fantasy world. Even if they’re not going to break out as WR1s, they’re still worth considering for your team. Just keep in mind that they don’t have the same cachet as the top wideouts in the previous tier.
Dynasty WR Rankings 2022
Ja’Marr Chase and Jeff Jefferson have been among the top options for fantasy football rookies this year. These two former LSU Tigers have a combined 108-1,616-10 season last season. In terms of points per game, they are tied with Joe Burrow and Justin Jefferson. However, the latter is considered to be the tiebreaker, as Burrow is a better all-around option.
Michael Gallup, the former Jaguars first-round pick, has upside as a feature target. But after suffering an ACL injury early in the season, he may not be as aggressively pursued by teams looking to make a splash as a feature target this year. As a result, he may need to prove his health and upside again to be worth a tier in the dynasty WR rankings.
Adam Thielen was a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners. He was the top touchdown-or-bust option last season, averaging 10.8 yards per catch. He scored 10 touchdowns, but his age and injury issues will limit him in the future. With these numbers in mind, he’s one of the top dynasty WRs. If you are not a fan of Thielen, you can always try DeVante Parker. He’ll make the top five.
The Ravens’ passing volume will fall. The Ravens’ QB will likely be able to throw fewer passes to Bateman next season. However, Brown has a limited ceiling. The Ravens have no other receiver options in this tier. As long as he stays healthy, he’ll have plenty of opportunities to climb the rankings. While he’s not a lock for a top-five spot in the dynasty WR Rankings 2022, he’s a viable option.
