Wide receiver depth and strategy for home leagues
In home leagues, wide receiver depth and strategy play a crucial role. Traditionalists may not be pleased, as wide receivers like Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Tyreek Hill, and Cooper Kupp are likely to go in the first round. Round two will also see a heavy focus on wide receivers, with AJ Brown, CD Lamb, Ammon-Ra St. Brown, Jalen Waddle, and others being potential picks. It is important to understand your league settings and scoring system, including how many wide receivers and flex positions are utilized. In the early rounds, it is recommended to secure elite wide receivers like Jefferson and Chase, but also consider top running backs like Christian McCaffrey or Austin Ekeler. To maximize value, target high-ceiling wide receivers in rounds five and six, such as Christian Watson, Christian Kirk, and Drake London. Additionally, rounds seven to nine provide an opportunity to stash rookie wide receivers like Jackson Smith-Najigba, Jordan Addison, and Zay Flowers for potential breakout seasons.
