We have finally reached Week 1, and it is time to rank the wide receivers. This is undoubtedly the deepest position, so a ton of work and research goes into the wide receivers. That's all, so you know you can rely on our rankings to win your week every week.
This is the position we were probably closest on ECR this week, but there are definitely some significant differences. We have one rookie wide receiver more than 40 spots above ECR. Be sure to scroll down to check out our Week 1 wide receiver rankings.
AJ Brown, New England Patriots
We expect Brown to be one of the best fantasy wide receivers in the league this season. He has been near the top of our draft rankings all offseason. However, he has a brutal matchup in Week 1 against the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
That hasn't stopped us from ranking him five spots above ECR, and that is still lower than where we ranked him all season. It's reasonable to be worried about the matchup, but he's still a locked-in WR1 this week.
