Wide receivers are one of the most critical components, and a core building block, for all fantasy football teams. This is especially true in PPR formats, where fantasy owners are rewarded for every catch that a wide receiver makes. We are here to help you plan your wide receiver draft strategy, and to target the right players on each NFL team.

Below are our 2015 fantasy football wide receiver depth charts as of Week 10 of the NFL and fantasy football season. For each team you will find the primary wide receiver (WR1), the secondary wide receiver (WR2), the third wide receiver (WR3), and dynasty values. Players listed under "Dynasty Value" have added value in dynasty/keeper league formats and can be targeted on draft day.

It’s important to stay on top of the wide receiver situations and any depth chart changes throughout each week of the fantasy football season, so be sure to check back regularly. By staying on top of all the depth charts changes, preseason position battles, and in-season injuries, you can draft the right receivers, adjust your rosters off the waiver wire, find sleepers, potential breakouts, and dominate your fantasy football leagues.

All WR1/WR2/WR3 listings are based off current Fantasy Football projections, not NFL depth chart values. Players listed under "Dynasty Value" have increased value in a Dynasty league.

 

AFC EAST: Fantasy Football Wide Receiver (WR) Depth Charts

Baller Stability Rating	Team Name	Primary Wide Receiver (WR1)	Second Wide Receiver (WR2)	WR3 & Longshots	Dynasty Value
Questionable	Patriots	Julian Edelman	Brandon LaFell	Danny Amendola	N/A
Solid	Jets	Brandon Marshall	Eric Decker	Jeremy Kerley	N/A
Solid	Bills	Sammy Watkins	Robert Woods	Chris Hogan	Sammy Watkins
Solid	Dolphins	Jarvis Landry	Rishard Matthews	Kenny Stills	DeVante Parker

 

Brandon LaFell actually saw more looks than Julian Edelman in the Patriots' Week 9 victory, and posted his first 100-yard game of the season. He has Tom Brady's trust, and as long as he's in the picture Julian Edelman is no longer a fantasy WR1. They are the 1A/1B in New England, and in that offense both Edelman and LaFell are startable in PPR leagues as a high-end WR2 and WR3, respectively.

Eric Decker had nine targets to Brandon Marshall's eight in Week 9, but that doesn't mean he's the number one receiver. Both have a ton of value with Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing to them, and should for the rest of the season. Marshall is a locked-in WR1 and Decker has evolved into a low-end WR2 considering how often he finds the end zone.

Sammy Watkins came back in a big way in Week 9, posting an 8-168-1 stat-line. As long as he's healthy (which is far from certain) he's a solid WR2 with Tyrod Taylor throwing to him. Taylor has been remarkably accurate and efficient this season, but this is still a run-first team--there is only room for one fantasy WR in Buffalo.

Jarvis Landry is the target-hog in Miami, and will be a surefire WR2 all season. He could be higher, but he simply doesn't get in the end zone. Lamar Miller has finally been unleashed upon the world, and he'll likely cut into the targets for the rest of the receiving corps all year. Rishard Mathews is a desperation flex, and Kenny Stills doesn't see enough action to be a fantasy factor.

 

AFC WEST: Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR) Depth Charts

Baller Stability Rating	Team Name	Primary Wide Receiver (WR1)	Second Wide Receiver (WR2)	WR3 & Longshots	Dynasty Value
Solid	Broncos	Demaryius Thomas	Emmanuel Sanders	Bennie Fowler	Cody Latimer
Solid	Chiefs	Jeremy Maclin	Albert Wilson	Chris Conley	Chris Conley
Solid	Raiders	Amari Cooper	Michael Crabtree	Andre Holmes	Amari Cooper
Solid	Chargers	Stevie Johnson	Malcolm Floyd (INJ)	Dontrelle Inman	Keenan Allen

 

Peyton Manning is clearly not a top-tier quarterback anymore, but even at his worst Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas are still finding their way to near-top-20 production in most weeks. It's essentially the two of them and then a massive cliff as far as targets go, and that should be the case for the rest of the season barring injury. Vernon Davis should get up to speed soon, and between him and Owen Daniels there is not much left for anyone else.

No one outside of Jeremy Maclin is startable on the Chiefs, but rookie Chris Conley is an interesting stash in deeper league. He has the raw talent and speed to make big plays, but any production this year will be entirely dependent on Maclin's health.

The Raiders offense is fantasy-relevant for the first time in recent memory, and as long as Derek Carr is playing well both Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree are low-end WR2s. While many expected the rookie Cooper to be the clear top option, this has evolved into more of a 1A/1B situation, with Crabtree being the much more productive of the two recently.

With Keenan Allen lost for the year to a lacerated kidney, everyone on the Chargers depth chart moves up a spot, with Dontrelle Inman likely sliding into three-wide sets with Johnson and Floyd. This is one of the most pass-heavy offenses in football, and Johnson should have WR2 value. Floyd is currently dealing with a torn labrum, but he claims he's going to try and play through it. That's too much risk for me, and I'll be leaving him on the bench in all formats.

 

AFC NORTH: Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR) Depth Charts

Baller Stability Rating	Team Name	Primary Wide Receiver (WR1)	Second Wide Receiver (WR2)	WR3 & Longshots	Dynasty Value
Solid	Ravens	Kamar Aiken	Marlon Brown	Chris Givens	Breshad Perriman
Solid	Steelers	Antonio Brown	Martavis Bryant	Darrius Heyward-Bey	Martavis Bryant
Solid	Bengals	A.J. Green	Marvin Jones	Mohamed Sanu	N/A
Solid	Browns	Travis Benjamin	Andrew Hawkins	Brian Hartline/Taylor Gabriel	N/A

 

Like with Keenan Allen in San Diego, the loss of Steve Smith for the year means that everyone else on the Ravens depth chart moves up a spot. However, Joe Flacco is not exactly Joe Montana, and Kamar Aiken becomes no more than a solid WR3. Nobody else is worth rostering right now.

Just when we thought Big Ben was back and ready to roll, he was lost again to a mid-foot sprain. With Landry Jones stepping in, Antonio Brown becomes a low-end WR1 and Martavis Bryant is a high-end WR3. Bryant and Jones actually showed some chemistry in past weeks, and I think Jones is good enough to at least utilize the talent he has.

Andy Dalton proved in Week 9 that his lackluster Week 8 performance was an outlier, savaging the Browns for three touchdowns to tight end Tyler Eifert. The pecking order is Green-Eifert-Jones-Sanu, and as long as all are healthy it'll stay that way. Jones is no more than a WR3 at this point who needs a touchdown to be truly relevant.

I'm not comfortable starting any Cleveland receiver but Travis Benjamin, and even he is merely a flex in the right format. It doesn't matter who is under center for the Browns, it's going to be Benjamin, rookie running back Duke Johnson and Gary Barnidge from here on out.

 

AFC SOUTH: Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR) Depth Charts

Baller Stability Rating	Team Name	Primary Wide Receiver (WR1)	Second Wide Receiver (WR2)	WR3 & Longshots	Dynasty Value
Solid	Colts	T.Y. Hilton	Donte Moncrief	Andre Johnson	Phillip Dorsett, Donte Moncrief
Solid	Texans	DeAndre Hopkins	Cecil Shorts III (INJ)	Nate Washington	Jaelen Strong
Volatile	Titans	Kendall Wright (INJ)	Dorial Green-Beckham	Justin Hunter	Dorial Green-Beckham, Kendall Wright
Questionable	Jaguars	Allen Robinson	Allen Hurns	Bryan Walters	Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, Marqise Lee

 

With Andrew Luck out for at least a month with a lacerated kidney, it becomes hard to trust any Colt receiver. Matt Hasselbeck will step in for Luck, and while there is nothing spectacular about him he is a solid game manager who can move the ball forward. Hilton is a low-end WR2 and Moncrief is a flex.

DeAndre Hopkins is still a top-three fantasy wide receiver thanks to his position in highest-volume passing attack in the NFL, and Nate Washington will be a solid flex play as long as Cecil Shorts is injured.

The Titans depth chart is worth keeping an eye on. Kendall Wright is likely going to miss the Titans' Week 10 matchup with the Panthers, leaving this depth chart in complete disarray. Dorial Green-Beckham actually had 10 targets in Wright's absence and will likely lead the team again, but I'm not starting any Titan against the juggernaut that is the Carolina defense.

Allen Robinson is the most talented receiver in Jacksonville, and I still think he's their WR1, but Allen Hurns has been surprisingly great so far this season. He's going to have WR2 value as long as Blake Bortles is playing well--Hurns has found the end zone in six straight weeks. The Jags get the burnable Ravens secondary in Week 10, and both Allens should have a field day.

 

NFC EAST: Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR) Depth Charts

Baller Stability Rating	Team Name	Primary Wide Receiver (WR1)	Second Wide Receiver (WR2)	WR3 & Longshots	Dynasty Value
Solid	Giants	Odell Beckham	Rueben Randle	Dwayne Harris	Odell Beckham Jr.
Solid	Eagles	Jordan Matthews	Riley Cooper	Josh Huff	Josh Huff, Nelson Agholor, Jordan Matthews
Solid	Cowboys	Dez Bryant	Terrance Williams	Cole Beasley	Dez Bryant
Questionable	Redskins	Desean Jackson	Pierre Garcon	Jamison Crowder	N/A

 

Victor Cruz doesn't look like he'll be fantasy-relevant anytime soon, and in his absence it appears Dwayne Harris has become Eli Manning's number three receiver. Beckham is a clear WR1, while Randle and Harris a flex options at best.

Jordan Matthews finally looked like the stud many drafted him to be in Week 9, pulling in nine balls for 133 yards and touchdown. You want a crazy stat? Matthews is actually on pace to set the Eagles single-season reception record. He's got a fairly cushy schedule the rest of the way, so I like him to return low-end WR2 value in the second half of the season.

Dez Bryant is back, and Tony Romo returns next week. Bryant will be back to a top-five fantasy option immediately, and Terrance Williams will rejoin the flex conversation next week.

I LOATHE boom-or-bust players, DeSean Jackson being second only to Torrey Smith in my hate-rankings. With that said, he's a WR3 the rest of the season along with Pierre Garcon, and Jamison Crowder becomes a low-ceiling stash.

 

NFC WEST: Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR) Depth Charts

Baller Stability Rating	Team Name	Primary Wide Receiver (WR1)	Second Wide Receiver (WR2)	WR3 & Longshots	Dynasty Value
Solid	49ers	Anquan Boldin	Torrey Smith	Quinton Patton	N/A
Solid	Seahawks	Doug Baldwin	Tyler Lockett	Jermaine Kearse	Tyler Lockett
Solid	Cardinals	Larry Fitzgerald	John Brown	Michael Floyd	John Brown
Questionable	Rams	Tavon Austin	Stedman Bailey	Kenny Britt	N/A

 

Blaine Gabbert surprised a lot of people in Week 9, but I've seen too much of him to believe it. If you want to start a 49er wide receiver, God be with you.

The Seahawks still don't throw enough for me to trust any wide receiver on a weekly basis. If I'm picking one it's Doug Baldwin. He'll see his four or five targets every week and should finish the year with five or six touchdowns, making him an average flex play. After him it gets sketchy, as neither Jermaine Kearse nor Tyler Lockett see enough action to be started in anything but the deepest of leagues.

Larry Fitzgerald is still the top dog in Arizona, but after him it's gotten a bit cloudy. John Brown has been injured, and in his absence Michael Floyd has stepped up. This is more of a 2A/2B situation than a straight 1-2-3, with Fitz a low-end WR1 and both of the others are WR3s until the situation becomes clearer.

Todd Gurley is the focal point of the Rams offense, but Tavon Austin is not without value. He's actually second on the Rams in rushing yards, and is their clear top fantasy receiver. He's a legitimate WR3 these days, but he's still in an awful passing offense. Wes Welker is now a Ram, but I won't include him until I see him playing and not unconscious.

 

NFC NORTH: Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR) Depth Charts

Baller Stability Rating	Team Name	Primary Wide Receiver (WR1)	Second Wide Receiver (WR2)	WR3 & Longshots	Dynasty Value
Solid	Packers	Randall Cobb	James Jones	Davante Adams	Davante Adams, Ty Montgomery
Solid	Lions	Calvin Johnson	Golden Tate	Lance Moore	N/A
Solid	Bears	Alshon Jeffery	Eddie Royal	Marquess Wilson	Kevin White
Questionable	Vikings	Stefon Diggs	Mike Wallace	Jarius Wright	N/A

 

Randall Cobb has disappointed in recent weeks, but he's a major buy-low candidate for me. He's been dealing with a shoulder injury, but he seems to finally be back to 100% and that should show on the field. He showed what he can do against an outstanding Panthers defense last week, and has a tasty schedule for the fantasy stretch/playoffs. He'll be a WR1 soon, while James Jones and Davante Adams are both WR3s.

Calvin Johnson is no longer a fantasy superstar, but he is definitely still a high-end WR2 on a weekly basis. The offensive scheme under new OC Jim Bob Cooter looked atrocious in Week 8, but the Lions hopefully figured things out on the bye. I have high expectations for Johnson going forward, but no love for Golden Tate.

Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery are a lethal tandem, but there's not much else to love after that. Eddie Royal is banged-up again, and in his absence it'll be on Marquess Wilson to step up. With Matt Forte likely out a few weeks, whoever is the second receiver for Chicago will likely have flex value.

Stefon Diggs is a legitimate superstar, and I have him as a top-20 wide receiver for the rest of the season. With that said, there isn't anything else to like in the low-volume Minnesota passing game. Teddy Bridgewater doesn't have the stuff to make any more than one receiver fantasy-relevant.

 

NFC SOUTH: Fantasy Football Wide Receivers (WR)

Baller Stability Rating	Team Name	Primary Wide Receiver (WR1)	Second Wide Receiver (WR2)	WR3 & Longshots	Dynasty Value
Questionable	Saints	Brandin Cooks	Willie Snead	Marques Colston	Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead
Questionable	Falcons	Julio Jones	Leonard Hankerson	Roddy White	N/A
Volatile	Panthers	Ted Ginn Jr.	Jerricho Cotchery	Philly Brown	Devin Funchess, Kelvin Benjamin
Solid	Buccaneers	Mike Evans	Vincent Jackson (INJ)	Donteea Dye	Mike Evans

 

Just when everyone was ready to write off Brandin Cooks, he's become fantasy-relevant again. Both he and Willie Snead had two touchdowns in the game for the ages against the Giants in Week 8, but I don't expect them both to thrive on a weekly basis. This is likely going to be a 1A/1B situation, and it's difficult to trust either as more than a low-end WR2 the rest of the way. For what it's worth, I would rank Cooks ahead of Snead.

The Falcons situation is simple--there's Julio Jones, and that's pretty much it. Tight end Jacob Tamme is the second option when Leonard Hankerson is out, and Roddy White is a mere afterthought at this point.

The Panthers keep finding ways to pull out victories. While Cam Newton has put the team on his back, he hasn't been using his wide receivers to do it. None are must-starts, and all are far behind Greg Olsen as far as targets go. Ted Ginn is the closest to fantasy-relevant, but it's hard to trust him when his floor is literally two catches for 18 yards.

Mike Evans is still a very risky WR2, but he should have the workload to make something out of nothing every week. Austin Seferian-Jenkins should be back this week, and his return should take some of the heat off Evans. Vincent Jackson looks like he'll still be out, but I'm not dropping him just yet.
