PPR WR Rankings ROS (1 Viewer)

[Nickdi]

Now that we're a quarter of the way through the season, I'll revisit PPR WR rankings for the rest of the season. This is open to debate so please discuss who should move up and down. I'll probably stop explanations around top 20

Tier 1- Studs

1. Megatron- Matchup-proof, no need for much explanation he's a physical specimen.

2. AJ Green- Tearing it up right now, probably 2nd most talented WR behind Calvin

3. Victor Cruz- PPR machine, Eli loves him, NIcks doesn't seem to be getting better

4. Julio Jones- A couple of rough games so far but still a dominating force and gets a lot of targets

Tier 2- Mid WR 1's

5. Roddy White- very favorable schedule, matt ryan has plenty of yards and tds to go around

6. Percy Harvin- Minnesota keeps him incredibly involved, explosive and should get Tons of targets.

7. Reggie Wayne- Colts should be behind a ton, he hasn't lost a step yet, luck throws to him pretty much every other play.

8. Larry Fitzgerald- After weak start, last 2 weeks his talent has overmatched his situation, should be a good WR1.

9.Brandon Marshall- Jay Cutler loves him- should bounce back from average last couple of weeks

10. Dwayne Bowe- Chiefs playing from behind every game, should get a ton of targets

Lower WR 1's, High 2's:

11. Mike Wallace- Roethlisberger loves him- starting not to be a one trick pony.

12.Demaryius Thomas- Manning looks like his old self almost, demaryius is a beast and should continue production.

13. Wes Welker- PPR beast and brady has a lot of trust in him.

14. Greg Jennings- Probably Rodgers' number 1 target when healthy. High powered offense will get him a lot of tds

15. Danny Amendola- Rams play from behind all the time, he's pretty much all they have at receiver

16. Jordy Nelson- 1 bad game so far, should get back on track while the packers get back on track as a team

17. Andre Johnson- Too talented to leave out of top 15, texans running should open up a lot of receiving to continue.

HIgh upside WR 2's:

18. Eric Decker- Manning starting to come into his old self should lead to big ppr numbers to decker

19. Torrey Smith- Flacco looks to him a ton, a lot of extra motivation now

20. Brandon Lloyd- High powered offense and gets a lot of targets should lead to a lot of receptions and tds

21. Dez Bryant- A ton of talent, should get some tds soon

22. Hakeem Nicks- When healthy hes a stud

23. Desean Jackson- Vick's going deep to him a lot, starting to use his head

Safe WR 2's, good WR 3's

24. Antonio Brown

25. Marques Colston

26. Stevie Johnson

27. Steve Smith (CAR)

28. Jeremy Maclin

29. Lance Moore

30. Vincent Jackson

31. Miles Austin

32. Pierre Garcon

Average WR's, bye week fill-ins:

33. Brian Hartline

34. Nate Burleson

35. Malcom Floyd

36. Randall Cobb

37. Kenny Britt

38. Anquan Boldin

39. Andre Roberts

40. Santonio Holmes

41. Kendall Wright

42. Michael Crabtree

43. Jeremy Kerley

44. Mike Williams (TB)

45. Denarius Moore

46. Davone Bess

47. Greg Little

Tell me what u think

ETA: Added Greg Jennings and Maclin to the list as i initially forgot them

 

[Islanders rule]

16. Andre Johnson- Too talented to leave out of top 15, texans running should open up a lot of receiving to continue.

Then why is he listed at # 16?

Nice work though!

Islanders

Haha ya whoops I put him at 15 and then I remembered Mike Wallace so i moved everyone down a spot

 

[lbouchard]

I think I would switch Harvin and Julio. Or at least move Harvin to top tier. Not sure about Julio vs Roddy right now to be honest. I think I would also make DemThom a member of Mid WR1. Final quibble is that I think Britt will be more than a bye week fill in. But other than those, .

 

[sporthenry]

I'd move V-Jax up. 38 targets through 4 games. 16 catches. Freeman looks his way early and often in a division with some bad defenses and he is bound to go off several weeks. Last week he played the Cowboys whose secondary might be the best in the league so I'll give him a pass for that.

Ya i was having a hard time trying to figure out what to rank britt as. I do think his number ranking is correct but i probably wouldnt call him a bye week fill in when healthy. I mostly think he'll miss a lot of time from here on out due to injury or general stupidity

 

[Chazzhawk]

Move Harvin into the top 5, this weeks game wasn't the norm. I think you can move Greg Little and probably Holmes out of the picture, if Holmes injury was as serious as it looked.

Maclin not in Top 45?Wayne is too high and so is Amendola.

[Nickdi]

Maclin not in Top 45?Wayne is too high and so is Amendola.

Crap forgot about Maclin. and im a big believer in them maybe i could see amendola but wayne is looking near elite right now

 

[therush]

You missed Greg Jennings.

 

[Nickdi]

You missed Greg Jennings.

Just edited to add Greg jennings and maclin to the list. cant believe i forgot them

 

[Sweetness_34]

Amendola is the 6 th WR and Lance Moore is the 15th WR in my PPR league.....these guys drafted after round 10 are what win leagues for you

 

[sporthenry]

Move Harvin into the top 5, this weeks game wasn't the norm. I think you can move Greg Little and probably Holmes out of the picture, if Holmes injury was as serious as it looked.

Just wait til he learns to catch the ball. Then you'll see. All of you will see.

 

[bweiser]

if you watched sunday night's game, it is easy to see why you forgot about maclin.

 

[flc735]

i'd have garcon a lot higher. rg3 can produce a top 10 WR and garcon has looked the part through the preseason and week 1.

moore - oak's D sucks, Dmac isn't doing much, DHB is out and palmer loves moore. he's getting a good amoutnt of targets to at worst maintain low wr2 numbers with a few BIG games sprinkled in.

nicks - his injuries suck but the nice thing is we have hixon, a cheap handcuff for him. you can't say that with many WRs and i think this minimized the injury concerns.

i'd move all the below down

dez doesn't look good to me. witten is back now and i think dez will fall back down the pecking order

jennings with his injuries

welker will be back to his wr40 status when hernandez comes back. i like him now, but not in the playoffs.

harvin - last year, he didn't really blow up until AP was out. with simpson in the picture now, i think that takes targets away from harvin and he falls back to a good wr2

 

[Shawn]

Maclin not in Top 45?Wayne is too high and so is Amendola.

Crap forgot about Maclin. and im a big believer in them maybe i could see amendola but wayne is looking near elite right now

Amendola is not high enough. he has been money all season long...

 

[otb_lifer]

Colston gave a preview of what possibly lies ahead ... that Saints defense is awful, and Brees just may toss it 'til his arm falls off.

This was his first week not on the injury report, and he goes for 9/153/1.

IMO, belongs in the 11-17 (low wr1, high wr2) tier going forward.

 

[wudaben]

Maclin not in Top 45?Wayne is too high and so is Amendola.

Crap forgot about Maclin. and im a big believer in them maybe i could see amendola but wayne is looking near elite right now

Amendola is not high enough. he has been money all season long...

If Amendola is not high enough then Hartline really isn't high enough!

 

[MCguidance]

Britt and Crabtree should be higher as more than WR fill ins. Crabs espec. in PPR. Britt can probably go nowhere but up with more time and confidence in his knee. And Hass likes him, and he could be playing for a while.

The thing is i dont think hes getting any better each week and even when he Comes back he barely ever plays the whole game without getting hurt

 

[We Tigers]

Very nice thread. I think you have Brown and Austin far too low. They should at least be in the high upside WR2 category, possibly higher--especially for Austin. Brown hasn't had a game under 8 targets or 74 yards, and Austin has scored 3 of 4 games and notched 100 in the other.

I would also put Jerome Simpson on the list in the low 30s/high 40s. He looked very good this week, picking up 50 yards and a huge PI penalty in a game where Minnesota barely threw the ball.

I agree that the brown and Austin ranking number seems low, but when i was doing the ranking i realized how many really good wrs there are so that ranking isnt as low looking at other players

Point taken, but then you can expand the tiers. Austin below Decker or Jordy doesn't make sense.

I think that now that the pack bounced back and manning broke out into his old self i think decker and jordy will be really good the rest of the season. I dont think miles austin will keep up what hes doing right now

Hartline should be in the top 15 ahead of Andre Johnson.

Is that what this ranking is supposed to reflect? General trade value?I have both Hartline and Andre. I would certainly not trade Hartline to get Andre. If I had to bet, I think Hartline will have better numbers in PPR for the ROS.

Not exactly but if someone is ranked higher than someone else on this list for the rest of the season i would say they do have more trade value. I do think hartline will be good but andre is Very good too

 

[Squintz82]

Maybe I'm the minority, but I think Roddy White has proven to be more valuable than Julio Jones. Yes, Jones will have those huge games, but he's shown that he's not that consistent. Roddy White has pretty much been Ryan's favorite target so far.

I think accurate rankings and trade value diverge. A guy like Hartline's trade value is going to lag for awhile. Other guys like Julio Jones, who I don't have in my top 10 ROS anymore, will still have great trade value for awhile.

 

[mbuehner]

Lance Moore would be even higher but he's dropped A LOT of balls including a couple TDs. Bad drops. I'm leery, if one of the young receivers on the Saints gets Brees's trust he may fall off the radar rapidly. I might try to sell high but he just doesn't have the name value to command anything worth trading for. For the moment he's so far outproducing his draft position its all gravy anyway. Slot receivers are still undervalued in todays NFL in PPR.

I concentrate on guys with targets- Kendall Wright is somebody you can get for peanuts in a redraft and could blow up into a poor mans Victor Cruz if Hasselback plays well, regardless of what Britt does. Wright leads the Titans in targets already... by a lot- 33, the next best is Cook with 20. Thats more than 8 targets a game, good enough for 21st in the league so far and still working out the rookie jitters. He's already on pace for 72 catches, 600y, and 8 TDs.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Hartline should be in the top 15 ahead of Andre Johnson.

I dont know many people who would trade andre for hartline right now

i get that, I do, and frankly if someone offered me Johnson for Hartline I'd have an awful hard time not saying yes (who am I kidding I would likely click the button, and I would not offend my league mate by doing the reverse offer either), but it sure seems like watching Texans games they could go forever running the ball and not having to go to AJ.FBG's has this targets (per game) listing right now.

Going forward, I would expect players who are tethered to the top qbs to blow up. Packers, Saints, Patriots, Broncos, Steelers, etc. are good plays and buy lows where possible.

My reason for predicting this is that I heard an interesting theory from a semi prominent sports guy in our area. He stated that the replacement refs biggest negative effect was not the amount of blown calls, but the actual pace of the game. The true game managers, the Brees, Rodgers, Bradys, and Mannings of the world were being thrown off kilter because there was no consistency in where or when the ball was being set into play and it took away a good deal of their ability to manage the game the way they are used to.

Now I admit, I could be wrong, but it makes sense, especially in light of the fact all of those guys played great last week with the normal refs. Rodgers, in particular, might have left even 4 - 6 more points on the board had he not been poked in the eye. Anyways, seeing that so much of the NFL is predicated on timing and precision, especially with wrs, I am looking at this theory pretty seriously and am expecting a little bit of an actual shift in how players are scoring. I am also expecting defenses to adjust to tendencies by all the rookie qbs. How they deal with these adjustments will really tell how good they are, but I would expect some growing pains out of some of the young guys as they get new looks thrown their way. So don't get your hopes up on Hartline just yet.

Counterpoint is that you are seeing a lot of teams take away the big plays. Add in the conscious effort by GB and NE to run the ball, and I'm not sure the real refs will have that much of an effect. Brees is already putting up some gaudy numbers and he always spreads the ball around. I'd expect Graham to put up some more consistent numbers but Colston and Moore are already having good years. In GB, likewise he'll spread the ball around. Without Jennings, I think it hurts Jordy even more b/c he relied a lot on the long ball. And in NE, Lloyd is already playing fairly well just missing the TDs which a lot of that has to do with running the ball near the goal line.

 

[Run It Up]

Ill continue to add to this as I finish eating and studying. Ill comment a few.

Just my opinion, ppr going forward:

Top Tier WR1:

1. Megatron

2. Green

3. Julio

4. Welker

5. Cruz

Mid-Low WR1:

6. Harvin

7. White

8. Marshall

9. Wallace

10. Nicks

Top Tier WR2:

11. Fitzgerald

12. A. Johnson

13. S. Johnson

14. Lloyd

15. Decker

Mid-Low WR2:

16. Maclin

17. Jennings

18. Bowe

19. Amendola

20. Brown

Outliers:

21. Smith

22. Thomas

23. Wayne

24. Garcon

25. T. Smith

26. Colston

27. Floyd

28. Austin

Feast or Famine:

29. Bryant

30. Moore

31. DJax

32. Hartline

WR3:

33. VJax

34. Nelson

35. Hawkins

36. Bess

37. Lafell

38. Crabtree

39. Jones (GB)

40. Williams (TB)

 

[JD8p]

I feel like Antonio Brown is being severely underrated.

 

[DoubleG]

Perhaps some of you who ranked Jones higher than White would like to comment on the following:

White: 39 targets (1st on team 26.9%), CR% = 69.2%, 413 RecYards, Deeptarget% = 28.2% (28.2% of targets are past 15 yards)

Julio: 31 targets (3rd on team 21.4%), CR% = 51.6%, 219 RecYards, Deeptarget% - 35.5%

So White is being targetted more, has a better catch rate and has almost double the number of receiving yards - and yet many of you think this trend will reverse?

While it might be fair to put the two close, I think White is still clearly the lead dog in Atlanta - especially in PPR. If this were non-PPR, I could almost see having Julio higher, as he has the possibility of a few more long TDs - but give me White in PPR.

 

[Run It Up]

I feel like Antonio Brown is being severely underrated.

I felt he was being appropriately rated during the offseason/preseason. Then it looked like Wallace actually got better and Brown somehow lost a step.

 

[JD8p]

The two lists I see here have him at 20 and 24...he has been consistent to start the year and is getting plenty of targets. 7 catches each of the last two weeks, bye already out of the way...I don't know, I would move him closer to 12 then 24.

I have him rated so low because I think a lot of players who will do better - will do better. It was a very tough start for a lot of the elite WRs.

Big plays happen when the qbs control the tempo and run snaps when the defense does not have time to get set. When the defense has more time to adjust to whatever formation the offense comes out in that is an advantage for them,

 

[Chazzhawk]

Move Harvin into the top 5, this weeks game wasn't the norm. I think you can move Greg Little and probably Holmes out of the picture, if Holmes injury was as serious as it looked.

Just wait til he learns to catch the ball. Then you'll see. All of you will see.

I think this is sarcasm, if it isn't how many more years of football is it going to take? I am guessing Little has played organized football since middle school. So roughly 12 years of football and he still can't catch, sorry charlie but he ain't ever going to get right.

Good post, and you're probably correct. The information missing from this post, though, is opponent coverage. Is Julio being doubled more? Which of them is drawing the #1 CB?I have no idea how to figure how who's being doubled the most, though I do seem to remember the announcers talking about teams rolling coverage Julio's way in one of the games. These are the CBs that were covering them though (based on game log tackles...even this could be based mostly on the side of the field they generally line up on):wk1 - elam (backup SS) on white?! mix on joneswk2 - mixed? not many tackles/PD/pentalties by either Porter or Champwk3 - mixed coverage...seemed to throw to whoever Cason was covering and avoid Jammerwk4 - norman on jones, gamble on white - which one is the #1?Anyway, if Julio has been getting the main CB/more doubles/coverage rolled his way, things might start to even out...right? (Jones owner >.> )

Colston gave a preview of what possibly lies ahead ... that Saints defense is awful, and Brees just may toss it 'til his arm falls off.This was his first week not on the injury report, and he goes for 9/153/1. IMO, belongs in the 11-17 (low wr1, high wr2) tier going forward.

Two weeks not on the injury report: 18/284/4.
