Greg Atoms Fantasy Football Advice: 2018 Wide Receivers
The Fantasy Football stove is heating up! It's the third week of the NFL Preseason, which is prime time for Fantasy Football drafts. Most Fantasy Football fans will likely have more than one team, but if you're like me, you're going to have one main league, and some fun leagues.
We already spent time this week talking about how important running backs are, and the fact that your first few picks should be based in the backfield. But in some leagues the wide receivers will actually score more points. But the separation is that there are only 12-18 full blown, reliable RBs in the NFL. So if you're in a 10-14 team league, you'll need to fill those spots early, or be left out.
Once you get your RBs on lock, you should look to the outside. Unless you're in a bad spot in the draft, or there's a big run on WRs early, in those cases, get a QB or elite TE, but realistically, get some WR help early.
Note: I only play non-PPR when I play serious. Because I don't have time for JV Fantasy Football. So the way I rank these guys will be based on that. Of course, if you're playing PPR, these
With all that in mind, I'd like to layout the WR that excite me this season. If for whatever reason, you trust me, and have some big decisions to make coming up, feel free to use me as a tie-breaker for yourself.
