One of the most important positions in fantasy football is wide receiver. There are 152 days until the opening kickoff for the 2024 NFL season. Even sooner will be your 2024 fantasy football drafts and here are the wideouts you should be looking to draft for the 2024 season.
Top 10 Wide Receivers in Fantasy Football
1. Justin Jefferson – Minnesota Vikings
While injuries plagued him Jefferson still had over 1,000 yards receiving in 2023. Even though the Vikings lost quarterback Kirk Cousins, they replaced him with Sam Darnold. It doesn’t matter who is throwing the ball to him Justin Jefferson is still the best wide receiver in the NFL and looks to stay on top in 2024.
2. CeeDee Lamb – Dallas Cowboys
Lamb had a massive breakout season in 2023. He was second in the NFL with 1,749 yards. Lamb does not have much coemption for targets in Dallas. Therefore, Lamb should be able to replicate his incredible season alongside Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
3. Tyreek Hill – Miami Dolphins
Just in front of Lamb was Tyreek Hill who led the NFL in receiving yards. Hill was on pace for 2,000 yards but injury kept him from the milestone. Even though Miami has lots of weapons Hill should still be able to have a great season in 2024.
4. Ja’Marr Chase – Cincinnati Bengals
Chase did not have the season he was looking for in 2023. This was mainly due to injury to quarterback Joe Burrow. With Burrow back for next season Chase should be a lock for another top-five wide receiver season.
5. Amon Ra St Brown – Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions had one of their franchise’s best seasons in 2023. Their amazing offense, St Brown helped pave the way to an NFC Championship appearance. Amon Ra had 1500 yards in 2023 and should be primed for another 1200-yard season in 2024.
6. Brandon Aiyuk – San Francisco 49ers
Brandon Aiyuk finally had the best season of his career in 2023. With over 1,300 yards he was the 49ers’ number one wide receiver. Forming a strong connection with Brock Purdy, Aiyuk is due for another great season for San Francisco.
7. AJ Brown – Philidelphia Eagles
In his second season in Philidelphia, AJ Brown put up great numbers in 2023. Brown had over 1,400 yards and outproduced another wide receiver, DeVonta Smith. With the Eagles keeping the majority of their offense together Brown should be able to recreate his 2023 season in 2024.
8. Puka Nacua – Los Angeles Rams
Puka Nacua had the best rookie wide receiver season in NFL history in 2023. Puka racked up over 1,300 yards and was the number-one target for Mathew Stafford. With competition with Cooper Kupp, Nacua lands at number eight on the list as he tries to recreate his rookie season.
9. DJ Moore – Chicago Bears
If this list were made a couple of weeks ago DJ Moore would be a couple of spots higher on the list. Since the Bears traded for Keenan Allen, Moores’s stock had dropped. Moore had an incredible season in 2023 and will try to recreate it with the future quarterback of the Bears.
10. Chris Olave – New Orleans Saints
Landing at the final spot on the list is Chris Olave. Olave has been a very consistent wide receiver for the Saints in his first two seasons. With the exit of Michael Thomas, Olave does not have much competition for targets and should have a great season in 2024.
