NFL Week 17 Fantasy Wide Receiver Rankings



To differentiate between all the "Start 'Ems" on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy wide receiver rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a traditional scoring system. Compensate for PPR and touchdown leagues accordingly.


2011 Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | DEF


Updated 12/31. Follow @walterfootball for updates.
  1. Wes Welker, Patriots
    With numerous other receivers sitting, Wes Welker is the No. 1 fantasy wideout this week.

  2. Steve Smith, Panthers
    Steve Smith could be matched up against New Orleans' scrubs if the 49ers jump out to an early lead at St. Louis.

  3. Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals
    Larry Fitzgerald has 100-plus yards and a touchdown in two of his previous three games.

  4. Victor Cruz, Giants
    The Cowboys don't have the personnel to cover Victor Cruz.

  5. Hakeem Nicks, Giants
    Hakeem Nicks won't be on Revis Island this week. The Cowboys don't have any sort of islands or continents.

  6. Steve Johnson, Bills
    Steve Johnson has a dream matchup against New England's putrid secondary. He went for 8-94-TD the last time he played them.

  7. Percy Harvin, Vikings
    Percy Harvin proved that his Week 15 struggles were a fluke. With Adrian Peterson out again, Harvin will once again be the focal point of Minnesota's offense.

  8. Miles Austin-Jones, Cowboys
    Miles Austin-Jones has three touchdowns in three games since returning from his hamstring injury. The Giants won't be able to cover him.

  9. Brandon Marshall, Dolphins
    Brandon Marshall caught six balls for 109 yards the last time he was on Revis Island - and he also had that weird play where he ran out of bounds instead of going straight for the end zone, so those stats could have been a lot better.

  10. Dez Bryant, Cowboys
    Dez Bryant caught a 50-yard touchdown against the Giants in Week 14. He'll have about the same amount of fantasy points this week.

  11. A.J. Green, Bengals
    A.J. Green didn't do much last week because the Bengals had a huge lead. That probably won't be the case against the Ravens.

  12. Malcom Floyd, Chargers
    There's a good chance Vincent Jackson will sit out, so Malcom Floyd will once again serve as a solid fantasy option.



  13. Calvin Johnson, Lions
    Calvin Johnson may not play much this Sunday.

  14. Jeremy Maclin, Eagles
    Jeremy Maclin is fully healthy again. He's the preferred option over the lazy DeSean Jackson.

  15. DeSean Jackson, Eagles
    This is DeSean Jackson's last opportunity to prove that he's worth a big contract this offseason.

  16. Michael Crabtree, 49ers
    Miguel Lobsterbush went for 4-96-TD the last time he battled the pathetic Rams.

  17. Dwayne Bowe, Chiefs
    The last time Dwayne Bowe matched up against Champ Bailey, he caught just two balls for 17 yards.

  18. Roddy White, Falcons
    Roddy White may not play much this Sunday if the Lions beat the Packers.

  19. Julio Jones, Falcons
    Julio Jones may not play much this Sunday if the Lions beat the Packers.

  20. Mike Wallace, Steelers
    Ben Roethlisberger will reportedly try to play half the snaps, so that bodes well for the Pittsburgh receivers.

  21. Antonio Brown, Steelers
    Copy-paste: Ben Roethlisberger will reportedly try to play half the snaps, so that bodes well for the Pittsburgh receivers.

  22. Marques Colston, Saints
    Marques Colston may not play much if the 49ers are blowing out the Rams.

  23. Denarius Moore, Raiders
    Denarius Moore is back and healthy again. He can be used as a WR3 against San Diego's awful defense.

  24. Demaryius Thomas, Broncos
    Super Demaryius Thomas has 22 catches, 414 yards and three touchdowns in his previous four games. He has emerged as Tim Tebow's favorite target. However, Tebow may have trouble throwing against Kansas City's elite corners.

  25. Andre Johnson, Texans - 12/29
    The Texans reportedly want Andre Johnson to play 15-20 snaps against the Titans.

  26. Reggie Wayne, Colts
    Reggie Wayne has caught a touchdown in each of the past two games. Dan Orlovsky is a functional quarterback.

  27. Deion Branch, Patriots
    Deion Branch is healthy again, so he can be used as a WR3.

  28. Santonio Holmes, Jets
    The Dolphins struggle against the pass, so Santonio Holmes could post decent numbers. It's a good thing that drops don't deduct points.

  29. Laurent Robinson, Cowboys
    Laurent Robinson owners grimaced as Tony Romo went out with an injury last week. As long as Romo's hand doesn't fall off, Robinson should rebound.

  30. Jabar Gaffney, Redskins
    Rex Grossman has re-developed a nice rapport with his old college teammate.

  31. Nate Washington, Titans
    Nate Washington has a tough matchup against Johnathan Joseph, but he's still a WR3.

  32. Santana Moss, Redskins
    Santana Moss caught just two passes the last time he played the Eagles.

  33. Mike Williams, Buccaneers
    You can't trust Tampa's passing attack right now. Mike Williams is just a low-end WR3 at best.

  34. Brandon Lloyd, Rams
    Brandon Lloyd shouldn't be used with Kellen Clemens under center.

  35. Vincent Jackson, Chargers - 12/30
    Vincent Jackson is battling a groin injury, so he could sit out for this meaningless game.



  36. Mario Manningham, Giants (limited in practice Thurs.) - 12/30
  37. Torrey Smith, Ravens
  38. David Nelson, Bills
  39. Nate Burleson, Lions
  40. Titus Young, Lions
  41. Robert Meachem, Saints
  42. Andre Roberts, Cardinals
  43. Jerome Simpson, Bengals
  44. Jacoby Ford, Raiders (practiced Thurs.) - 12/29

  46. Pierre Garcon, Colts

  67. Jason Avant, Eagles

  69. Devin Hester, Bears
  70. Jonathan Baldwin, Chiefs
  71. Austin Collie, Colts
  72. Mike Thomas, Jaguars
  73. Mike Williams, Seahawks
  74. Brandon Gibson, Rams
  75. Eddie Royal, Broncos

  77. Cecil Shorts, Jaguars (out) - 12/31
