PPR Wide Receiver Tiered Rankings for 2015 Fantasy Football

What's up RotoBallers. The 2015 fantasy football draft season is here, and we've been publishing tons of great fantasy football rankings & analysis for the past few weeks. Throughout this week we'll be releasing our tiered fantasy football rankings, for PPR and standard leagues. Putting players into tiers is a great strategy to prepare for your drafts, and allows you to easily identify which players to draft when.

Today we continue with our tiered wide receiver PPR rankings for 2015. These staff consensus PPR rankings take the average ranks of our top guns, and break the WRs out into color-coded tiers so you can easily group players to target on draft day. Let's get to it.

Editor's note: Be sure to check out our Who To Draft Tool, a free player comparison tool which can help you make decisions on who to draft. Need to choose between a few players? Not sure who to pick next? Compare any two NFL players and see which is recommended for your drafts.

Wide Receiver (WR) PPR Rankings Analysis

By Edward Gorelik (@EdwardGorelik)

One of the players i'm higher on than most is newly acquired NYJ WR Brandon Marshall. Maybe you've heard of him, he's only been amongst the leagues top and most consistent WRs all his career. In fact, Marshall only has two years in his career with less than 1000 yards, his rookie year and last year.

Between those are 7 consecutive 1000 yard 80+ reception seasons, with 5 seasons going over 100 receptions and 1200 yards. Even players like Kyle Orton, Chad Henne, and Matt Moore were able to get Marshall those kinds of numbers. Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith are at worst a lateral step from those, and Marshall has the benefit of not having to play what looks like the toughest DBs in the division. In fact, he'll get to play his old team twice this (the dolphins) which could be a huge boom games on their own.

Sammy Watkins and Jeremy Maclin are low, low, low on my rankings for the same exact reasons. They both play on what is projected to be low scoring offenses, they both lack a QB capable of getting the ball consistently into their hands, and they both have tough divisions they're going to have to deal with. These are guys with upside that's unlikely to be reached in 2015 unless an unprecedented change comes in the quarterbacking of either team.

The only Seahawk WR that will end up being worth owning is Tyler Lockett. Although he'll be primarily a deep threat in 2015, he could end up having similar value to T.Y. Hilton's rookie year (800 yards for 700 touchdowns) once he starts seeing the field.

Lockett has some value in other parts of the field as well, but it's doubtful that the Seahawks will begin to throw enough to make him consistently valuable. Still, he'll be a player to watch and add once he cracks the starting lineup, which should be inevitable given the low level of talent ahead of him.
