College football is underway, which means we are so close to September. Wide receivers are the most fun to rank, so today, I dove in, ranked, and put the top 60 receivers for 2024 in tiers. If you want to check out the same concept but for running backs, the link will be below. Enjoy, and happy football season! Tier 1 (WR1 Upside) 1. Tyreek Hill 2. Ceedee Lamb 3. Amon-Ra St. Brown 4. Ja’Marr Chase 5. Justin Jefferson If I’m planning to draft a wide receiver in the first round, this is my shortlist. You can disagree on the order, but to me, the gap between these five guys and the next few is noticeable. Every one of them has a top 5 finish under their belt in their career, and they’re all in great spots with either a good QB, a great coordinator, or, in some cases, both. Any of them could be the WR1 at the end of the year, and I think all of them end up in the top 10, barring injuries. Tier 2 (High Upside Plays) 6. A.J. Brown 7. Garrett Wilson 8. Puka Nacua 9. Marvin Harrison Jr Tier 2 has guys that have tons of talent and potential but don’t have quite the track record of the first tier. They also have solid floors with their expected target volume within their respective offenses. Even Harrison, as a rookie, seems like a lock for 130+ targets and is as polished of a route runner as you can expect from a rookie. Tier 3 (High Risk, High Reward) 10. Mike Evans 11. Drake London 12. Davante Adams 13. Chris Olave 14. Nico Collins 15. Brandon Aiyuk 16. Deebo Samuel Many people have mentioned their disdain for the mid-late second-round wide receiver options this year. None of these guys are sure things, and all of them seem to have plausible worst-case scenarios in which they grossly underperform. Evans and Adams are aging, and the question is whether they have another top-10 season left or not. London perhaps has the highest ceiling of the group but is unproven. Olave is simply here because he is attached to Derek Carr. Collins may or may not be the alpha in the Houston receiving corps, and Aiyuk and Samuel have some questions about usage and consistency, especially with Aiyuk’s 2024 team potentially changing. Tier 4 (Solid WR2) 17. DK Metcalf 18. Jaylen Waddle 19. Cooper Kupp 20. DJ Moore 21. Devonta Smith 22. Amari Cooper 23. Malik Nabers 24. Tee Higgins 25. Michael Pittman Jr There are a few guys on this list who feel like high-floor, low-ceiling guys who are dependable but won’t win you a lot of games on their own (Metcalf, Waddle, Smith, Higgins, Pittman), but a few others are likely more boom or bust either on a game to game basis (Moore, Cooper) or on the year as a whole (Kupp, Nabers). I would be fine with any of these guys as my WR2 and ecstatic if they’re my WR3/flex. Tier 5 (Comfortable Flex Plays) 26. Tank Dell 27. Stefon Diggs 28. George Pickens 29. Zay Flowers 30. Terry McLaurin 31. Rashee Rice 32. Christian Kirk 33. Calvin Ridley 34. Diontae Johnson 35. Chris Godwin 36. Keenan Allen This tier is littered with question marks. The answers to those questions could make or break your season if you hit on someone in this list or not. What do we make of the Houston receiving room? Will Russel Wilson or Justin Fields be able to support someone like Pickens? Will Rice ever get suspended? Is Jayden Daniels the best passer McLaurin has had in the league? Will Kirk gain or lose targets after the exit of Ridley and the additions of Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr? Will Diontae Johnson get the targets that Adam Thielen got last year? Is Chris Godwin ever going to come close to his 2019 numbers? How will Keenan Allen do as he ages and has to compete with DJ Moore and Rome Odunze for targets? Tier 6 (Could Be Starters if Things Go Right) 37. Christian Watson 38. Jayden Reed 39. Xavier Worthy 40. Marquise Brown 41. DeAndre Hopkins 42. Courtland Sutton 43. Josh Palmer 44. Tyler Lockett 45. Jaxon Smith-Njigba 46. Jakobi Meyers 47. Khalil Shakir 48. Darnell Mooney A lot of these guys have questions about what their role or target share will be on their team. Teams like the Packers and Chiefs and Seahawks will try to support a multitude of receivers while teams like the Broncos, Chargers and Raiders will likely have sub-par passing attacks. Tier 7 (Bye Week Fill-Ins With High Potential) 49. Rome Odunze 50. Brian Thomas Jr. 51. Jordan Addison 52. Ladd McConkey 53. Keon Coleman 54. Rasheed Shaheed 55. Romeo Doubs 56. Mike Williams 57. Curtis Samuel 58. Gabe Davis 59. Jerry Jeudy 60. Jameson Williams Almost all of these players could be a tier or two higher if their circumstances were slightly better. The rookies are either the third wide receiver on their team or are in a bad passing offense. Guys like Gabe Davis and Jameson Williams are better best ball players than standard fantasy options. Still, these are guys you can survive with in a pinch, and if a few things go right, they could significantly outperform their ADP.
