Rankings
Andy Hicks
Justin Jefferson is considered quarterback proof. With an unproved J.J. McCarthy up for Minnesota, I'm moving him down a touch. The guys ahead of him dont have this issue.
Jason Wood
Jeff Haseley
One of the league's best wide receivers, who also has a head coach, Kevin O'Connell, with a brilliant offensive mind. The only downside, which many believe is an opportunity to buy at a discount, is an unknown quarterback in J.J. McCarthy.
Matt Waldman
A top-three talent at his position, Jefferson has proven he can produce with a wide range of quarterbacks. He's a safe WR1 value for fantasy leagues even if the potential variance in outcomes he could experience with J.J. McCarthy is greater than the quarterbacks I ranked ahead of him.
Ben Cummins
Amazing athlete at 202 pounds. His receiving yards floor in four seasons of 16+ games in the NFL is 1,400.
Ryan Weisse
When it comes to talent, you'd be hard pressed to put anyone ahead of him. However, his QB is an unknown commodity. He is going to be great, but he feels like the least safe option in the Top 5.
Colton Dodgson
The focal point of one of the NFL's most efficient passing attacks. He finished as the WR2 with a new quarterback in 2024. He's a high-end WR1 again in 2025.
