Sean Koerner — Fantasy Pros’ 4x Most Accurate Fantasy Football Ranker—breaks down his2024 Best Ball WR rankings and tiers.
We’re in the heat of the summer, the 2024 NFL schedule is out, and training camp is right around the corner, so it’s time to start making my initial fantasy football rankings and projections for each position.
In this article, I’ll dive into my current Best Ball WR rankings and tiers for Best Ball sites like Underdog Fantasy, DraftKings, and Drafters.
Following my Tier 1 breakdown, you can find a 2023 BBPA (Best Ball Points Added) chart for all wide receivers, including how often they finished inside the top-12, top-30 and top-45. This is a cool, and hopefully helpful, way to see each wide receiver’s floor/ceiling profile from last season as you prepare to draft your 2024 Best Ball teams. You can also read more about Best Ball Points Added, a fantasy football metric that highlights high-variance fantasy football values specifically for Best Ball formats.
While much of the analysis below is catered to Best Ball, I also recommend using these tiers for your redraft leagues. You can stay on top of all my changes during the preseason by comparing these to my updated fantasy football rankings, which you can find here.

Fantasy Football WR Tiers
Tier 1
- CeeDee Lamb
- Tyreek Hill
- Ja’Marr Chase
- Amon-Ra St. Brown
- Justin Jefferson
Tyreek Hill and CeeDee Lamb are essentially “Tier 1a” and should be the first two wide receivers off the board, but Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jefferson are elite WR1 options that would be ideal picks in the 1st round considering how critical it is to attack the receiver position at all levels of the draft.
Justin Jefferson is still arguably the best receiver in the league, but there is a chance his production will drop off a bit in the post-Kirk Cousins era. In five games without Cousins under center and a combo of Josh Dobbs/Jaren Hall/Nick Mullens throwing him the ball, Jefferson averaged 8.9 BBPA per game, which would have ranked 4th on the season. His Week 18 30-point eruption came when TJ Hockenson was out of the lineup, so there is a chance that with Jordan Addison/TJ Hockenson in the lineup and a drop-off in QB play, Jefferson may settle in as more of a mid-range WR1 rather than the WR1 overall caliber of fantasy asset we’ve seen to date.
