The final week of the regular season is upon us.

Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key wide receivers like Christian Watson, George Pickens, Jakobi Meyers, Rashid Shaheed, and Greg Dortch rank, among others.

Our wide receiver fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.
