We finally made it to Week 1, which means I’m back with my weekly wide receiver rankings. The first week of the season is definitely the toughest time to decide on who to start. Players have moved around, coaches have moved around, and we really don’t know how each player is going to play in their new scenery. Well, lucky for you, this week I bring you my top-60 wide receivers ranked below.

Wide Receiver Notes
- Let’s start with Garrett Wilson as my WR15 this week going against the Tennessee Titans. I know the Jets aren’t the best team, but Wilson will be great for fantasy this year. Last year, Wilson was on pace to have a top-10 wide receiver finish. He had four touchdowns in his first five games before going down with a knee injury in Week 6 and later missing the rest of the season. Wilson also gets a slight upgrade with Geno Smith vs Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor. Smith should be able to air it out against this Titans defense who last season gave up the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
- Next, I have Chris Olave as my WR6 going against the Lions. This could be a bold take, but I believe Olave can finish inside the top-5 this season. He has a great matchup against the Lions this week, who gave up the second-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers last season. I loved the way Tyler Shough finished the season, and I can see Olave having a huge year. In Weeks 13-17, Olave finished the season off with five touchdowns and 429 receiving yards.
- Lastly, I have DJ Moore as my WR30 this week. Moore went higher in drafts, as it is intriguing to see him team up with Josh Allen. However, the Bills have a tough matchup against the Texans this week. Also, we have seen other top receivers move to the Bills, such as Amari Cooper, and they didn’t turn out to be productive. Now Moore is younger than Cooper, but we need to see if his play style syncs up with Allen. I would leave Moore on the bench this week or flex start if you have two flex options.
