NFL Fantasy Football
Wide Receivers

Wide Receiver is the most difficult fantasy football position to draft.  Compared to Running backs and quarterbacks, most wide receivers are inconsistent at scoring points from week to week.  There are many factors that can negatively impact a wide receiver’s production during a game or during the NFL season as a whole.  A quarterback’s relationship with his wide receiver, the team’s lack of a running game, minor injuries slowing the wide receiver down enough that he is unable to break coverage, an offensive line not giving the quarterback enough time.  Any of those situations can be detrimental to your wide receiver’s production.

That being said, having a great wide receiving corps is what can put you over the top in your league.  There are always a few wide receivers every year that put up comparable numbers from week to week as a good running back.  You should think about getting one of these elite fantasy wide receivers in the 3rd or 4th round of your fantasy football draft.  The second wide receiver you draft should also be established; he should be the number one wide receiver on an NFL team that doesn’t have a lot of problems with their passing game. 

Some rules to think about when drafting wide receivers in later rounds:

Is this wide receiver a deep threat?  Some wide receivers will catch less than five completions a game, but often one of those catches will be 40+ yards.

Does the NFL team use many three wide receiver sets?  Some teams will not use three wide receiver sets often, going with a tight end and a full back instead.  Some teams only use the third wide receiver as a possession receiver on third downs.

Is the wide receiver primarily a kickoff/punt returner?  Do not draft kick returners.  You will only use them as an emergency backup on your fantasy football team.  Chances are you won’t get any production from the kick returner the week that you need them.

Does the NFL team average less than 200 yards passing per game?  If so, don’t bother drafting much more than their number one wide receiver.

Is the wide reciever a rookie?  Rookies often don’t start their first year in the NFL.  Wait until a starter gets hurt until you pick up most rookie wide recievers.

Does the NFL team have a star quarterback who will get touchdowns for their team’s number 3 and 4 wide receivers?  It might be a good idea to try selecting backup wide receivers on great teams late in your fantasy football draft.
