Our Consensus Top 12 Dynasty WRs

Mixin’ it up this week heading going into Week 10, and we had the whole team rank their top wide receivers in Dynasty Fantasy Football. Let’s take a look at our consensus top 12, and why guys have risen and fallen with half the season down. Let’s hit the Detour.

🔮 Top 12 Dynasty Wide Receiver Rankings

Our favorite receivers in the game and our reason’s for why they fell where they fell. Bring on the rankings.

1. Jamarr Chase

Age: 25.7 years | High: 1 (Everyone)

The whole team has Uno at numero uno, and it’s pretty obvious why. With 20.9 PPG with three different QBs this year, it’s officially time to declare the Bengals locked-down long-term number 1 QB proof. He’s got the ceiling, he’s got the floor, he pairs youth with elite NFL talent and situational security. ‘Nuff said. - Dynasty Detour Ryan

2. Puka Nacua

Age: 24.4 years | High: 2 (Jesse and Tom) | Low: 4 (John)

After the first 4 weeks of the season, I was absolutely ready to crown Puka as the unrivaled WR1 in dynasty. However, Flacco returning impacted Jamaar’s stock, and a couple of nagging Puka injuries continue to concern me just enough to be wary. My personal vote below JSN is not so much a disbelief in Puka but more so the stability I see with JSN’s production and the injury risk that has shown itself in the last two years. Puka was averaging over 12 targets a game in the first 5 weeks and did not have a finish outside the top 10 and has only slowed down a little in these last couple of weeks. Puka is a big-bodied receiver with good speed and big-play ability (which McVay is not afraid to take advantage of), but his reliability and strong hands make him a favorite of Stafford’s. His catch rate of 83.56% is among the highest in the league and second only to Stefon Diggs in terms of receivers. Stafford’s near-perfect play over the front half of the season has helped Puka be unbelievably dominant so far, but that obviously relies on him being on the field. Let’s hope that health keeps up. - Dynasty Detour John

3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Age: 23.7 years | High: 2 (John) | Low: 8 (Ryan)

I have absolutely loved everything about the season JSN has had. I think every single one of my leaguemates last year grew tired across my dynasty leagues due to my constant pestering about him, but I could never land the right trade for him because his owners understood the talent they had on their hands. Even with fewer receptions than Chase, he is currently leading the league in receiving yards. What has been the most interesting development for me (and the reason I personally ranked him as my #2 dynasty receiver) is his transition to an outside receiver and the success he has had there. He leads the league in the percentage of air yards for his team while also still averaging about 4 yards after the catch, putting him in the same range as guys like Puka, CeeDee, and ARSB, who all have a much lower average depth of target and air yards per target. This is his first year as a true #1, primarily being the X receiver for a team that has lacked receiver production outside of him. I mean, we are talking about a guy who had 347 yards in his final game of college while sharing the field with Marvin Harrison and Emeka Egbuka. I feel confident he will dominate the air, regardless of competition and QB (even though I like Darnold) moving forward. - Dynasty Detour John
