Training camp has arrived for all 32 NFL teams which means fantasy football draft season is fast approaching.
Preparation is key for drafting a fantasy team. A good draft strategy and the right group of players are essential for building a winning team. And one of the most important, make-or-break positions to get right in a draft is wide receiver.
Unfortunately, the position is also one that can feature high volatility from year to year. For instance, Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill led the league in receiving yards and touchdowns in 2023 then failed to surpass 1,000 receiving yards in 2024.
Because of that difficulty in projections and in honor of fantasy football ramping back up, USA TODAY Sports has ranked the top 50 wide receivers ahead of the 2025 fantasy football season.
