Wide receiver is the deepest position in fantasy football, yet still must be carefully navigated when drafting in all formats. When you have tight decisions between two players or the best few targets in a tiered grouping, being well-informed will help you make the best possible call. Knowing how rookies fit into the overall picture is very important when constructing a roster throughout the draft. 

In seasonal leagues, two rookie WRs stand out above the rest of the field as players who should be highly impactful fantasy performers right away. Any one of the top five first-year WRs can find their way into fantasy starting lineups, and the WRs who flesh out the top 10 are viable depth picks. Dynasty league drafters will have to wait on many rookie WRs to become quality fantasy contributors but will be able to land good draft targets through the top 15 at the position. 

We provide WR rankings for seasonal and dynasty drafters, highlighting where the rookies place in the overall ranks at the position, with an eye towards PPR formats.
