Dynasty vs. Redraft: Quick Reminder
Dynasty leagues project player value over the next three to five years. It’s all about long-term upside, not just 2025 stats. Redraft leagues reset each year. Dynasty requires you to think ahead, and that’s where these wide receivers come in.
Honorable Mentions with Upside
Travis Hunter (JAX) didn’t make the top 15, but the talent is undeniable. Playing both corner and wide receiver, he’s raw on offense but has unicorn-level athleticism. His future depends on how Jacksonville splits his snaps between both sides of the ball.
Rashee Rice (KC) is coming off an ACL tear. He built chemistry with Patrick Mahomes before the injury and could reclaim WR1 duties once healthy. Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy are present, but Rice may thrive again, especially if Travis Kelce retires.
Tier 3: “Grab Them If You Can” (WR15–WR11)
These wide receivers offer top-tier upside with minor concerns keeping them outside the elite tier.
WR15: DeVonta Smith (PHI)
13 GP | 68 Rec | 833 Yds | 8 TDs
Smith has proven production, but his target share is limited behind A.J. Brown and a run-heavy shift with Saquon Barkley.
WR14: Marvin Harrison Jr. (ARI)
17 GP | 62 Rec | 885 Yds | 8 TDs
Harrison enters year two with massive expectations. Compared to Larry Fitzgerald’s rookie stats. Only 22 years old. Buy now.
WR13: Drake London (ATL)
100 Rec | 1,271 Yds | 9 TDs
London finally posted WR1 numbers. Michael Penix Jr. could stabilize the offense and unlock more of London’s potential.
WR12: Garrett Wilson (NYJ)
101 Rec | 1,100 Yds | 7 TDs
New QB Justin Fields reunites with Wilson from their Ohio State days. He should be the clear alpha in New York.
WR11: A.J. Brown (PHI)
13 GP | 67 Rec | 1,005 Yds | 7 TDs
Injuries held him back, but Brown is still elite. Rumors of a trade swirl, but talent always wins in dynasty.
Tier 2: “Rising Studs” (WR10–WR6)
These wideouts are on the verge of dynasty dominance. Young, explosive, and in situations where they can take over.
WR10: Ladd McConkey (LAC)
16 GP | 82 Rec | ~1,200 Yds | 7 TDs
He’s already Justin Herbert’s favorite target. McConkey lines up everywhere and dominates routes. No clear WR2 behind him.
WR9: Nico Collins (HOU)
Elite connection with CJ Stroud. Tank Dell’s injury opens more targets. Collins wins against top corners. Age 26 breakout candidate.
WR8: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA)
137 Rec | 1,130 Yds | 6 TDs
Metcalf and Lockett are gone. Cooper Kupp adds experience, but JSN is the future. New QB Sam Darnold is the question.
WR7: Brian Thomas Jr. (JAX)
87 Rec | ~1,300 Yds | 10 TDs
Rookie star who instantly clicked with Trevor Lawrence. Should face less double coverage with Travis Hunter in the mix.
WR6: Malik Nabers (NYG)
109 Rec | 1,200 Yds | 7 TDs
Quarterback mystery looms, but Nabers is undeniable. Only 21. Immediate WR1 on a thin Giants depth chart. Volume is king.
Tier 1: “Elite WR1s” (WR5–WR1)
These are the top dynasty wide receivers to target in every format. You win championships with these names.
WR5: Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET)
115 Rec | ~1,300 Yds | 12 TDs
Jared Goff peppers him with targets. Ben Johnson’s departure is a concern, but talent and role keep St. Brown elite.
WR4: CeeDee Lamb (DAL)
101 Rec | ~1,200 Yds | 6 TDs (2024)
135 Rec | ~1,800 Yds | 12 TDs (2023)
Lamb has elite PPR value. George Pickens joins Dallas, but Lamb’s chemistry with Dak Prescott keeps him locked in at WR1.
WR3: Puka Nacua (LAR)
11 GP | 79 Rec | 990 Yds | 3 TDs
Year prior: 105 Rec | ~1,500 Yds | 6 TDs
Stafford’s health is fading, but McVay’s creative offense helps. PCL injury was serious, but shouldn’t impact long-term value.
WR2: Justin Jefferson (MIN)
103 Rec | 1,500+ Yds | 10 TDs
JJ McCarthy is the new QB. Jefferson remains elite but will need McCarthy to prove he’s more than just a game manager.
WR1: Ja’Marr Chase (CIN)
127 Rec | 1,700+ Yds | 17 TDs
Reigning Triple Crown winner. Locked in with Joe Burrow. Massive extension signed. Set up to dominate for the next 5+ years.
Dynasty Takeaways and Final Thoughts
In dynasty, targeting the top dynasty wide receivers with youth, talent, and a strong QB is the formula for success. Players like Chase, Jefferson, and Lamb offer long-term safety. Rising names like Nabers and McConkey bring breakout potential with big upside.
