NFL Playoffs 2012: Fantasy Football WR Rankings

Ryan LesterJun 7, 2018

Here is the Lester’s Legends fantasy football wide receiver rankings for the Wild Card Round:

1. Calvin Johnson @ New Orleans Saints: Megatron showed why he’s the best receiver in the league closing the season out with 560 yards to finish with an average of 100-plus YPG and a TD.

2. Victor Cruz vs. Atlanta Falcons: In a game that features four incredible WRs, Cruz led them all with 1,536 yards. He’s nearly unstoppable.

3. Marques Colston vs. Detroit Lions: Colston is averaging 105.5 yards with five TDs in his past four games.

4. Julio Jones @ New York Giants: The Giants have issues in their secondary. Julio is red hot, averaging 98.3 yards with six TDs in his past four games.

5. Roddy White @ New York Giants: Roddy topped 1,100 yards for the fourth straight year as he finished with 1,296 yards and eight TDs. He has 120-plus yards in four of his past seven games.

6. Hakeem Nicks vs. Atlanta Falcons: Nicks finished just short of 1,200 yards. He averaged 84.5 yards and 0.5 TDs in his past six games.

7. Antonio Brown @ Denver: It’s not that I think Brown is better than Wallace, he just takes advantage of his opportunities. Wallace draws the No. 1 corners (Champ Bailey, in this case) and gets safety help. Brown is ideal at picking his spots. He could also add a score in the return game.

8. Mike Wallace @ Denver: Wallace’s stinker (one catch, 11 yards) last week cost him a 1,200-yard season. He’s a big-time playmaker though and should deliver against Denver.

9. A.J. Green @ Houston: The Texans have a good pass defense and Green is a rookie, but he’s a special player. Look for him to bounce back from two slow weeks (25 and 26 yards).

10. Andre Johnson vs. Cincinnati: Johnson finally returned to action last week. He’s a bit of a risk given his hamstring issues, but you know what he’s capable of when he’s on.

11. Demaryius Thomas vs. Pittsburgh: He’s Tebow’s top target, but the way Tebow has stumbled of late, Thomas is a low-end option this week.

12. Titus Young @ New Orleans: Has four TDs in his past four games. The Lions are going to have to pass early and often to keep up.

13. Nate Burleson @ New Orleans: Has 27 catches in his past five games for a 65.4 YPG average.

14. Jerome Simpson @ Houston: Has 10 catches in his past two games. He also has the ability to flip over a linebacker.

15. Devery Henderson vs. Detroit Lions: Henderson and Robert Meachem are more capable of turning in a dud than a big game, but the potential is there because of Brees..
