The fantasy football landscape has fully began to favor the wide receiver position. However, non-ppr leagues still remain the running backs domain. But this doesn’t mean you should ignore the wide receiver position as a whole. 

When it comes to drafting WRs in fantasy after the first two rounds, you need to look for those who can break out of their projected tier. 

On these rankings, that includes players such as Rashee Rice and Tetairoa McMillian. This leads to the next huge point of emphasis when it comes to the WR position, the rookies. 

Since 2015, 26 rookie wideouts have been able to average 10 or more fantasy points per game. 12 of them were able to put up WR2 numbers and 6 of them had WR1 numbers. 

Players this year such as McMillian, Emeka Egbuka, Travis Hunter, and Jayden Higgins should be on everyone’s radar.

If you spend an early pick on a RB, these are great options for you later in drafts.
