In this video, we are ranking the top 30 wide receivers for fantasy football right now to help you exactly know who you should be targeting at the position.

0:07.0

And we'll be breaking this down by tier and it's going to start with our number one overall receiver and that's C.D. Lamb, who's still just 25 years old and the Cowboys didn't really add any competition for him.

0:16.0

I mean, we can look at what Dallas's wide receiver core is and it's the exact same as last year. Brandon Cooks, who's now another year older, albeit he is having a good training camp right now. And then Jalen Tolbert

0:24.8

is battling right now Jalen Brooks for the fourth or the third wide receiver job and the fourth

0:29.0

job. None of those guys are uber threatening. They'll probably be, you know, third, fourth option in

0:33.0

the pecking order. So everything looks great for Lamb, who last year had over 180 targets to lend the NFL in receptions,

0:38.4

and now the Cowboys might even be throwing more this year as they didn't really add anything to their backfield.

0:42.9

And Lamb put up all of that volume while also remaining extremely efficient, ranking top five in yards per outrun last season.

0:49.1

And this fella, C.D. Lamb was used absolutely everywhere. You could see he led the NFL and red zone targets. So used in the most important area of the field for fantasy, you know, scoring touchdowns giving you that extra boost.

0:57.7

And then also downfield, his deep target to 20 plus yards. He was 14th overall, which is pretty

1:01.9

impressive considering how much overall volume he was using, picking up a lot of targets on the

1:06.1

underneath, but also able to win downfield and in the red zone. Now the second wide receiver, and we're still in tier one here, is going to be Tyreek Hill. And honestly, if you want to have him number one overall

1:13.9

at the position, I can't really blame you. But there are a couple of main disadvantages that Tyreek has,

1:18.2

at least when you're comparing him to CD Lam. Tyreek is a bit older at 30 years old and he's

1:22.0

competing with another top 20 receiver in Jalen Waddle. Now despite being a tad older, it really hasn't affected him all that much.

1:27.8

He had 10.7 targets per game. Actually, not even all that much at all. 10.7 targets per game

1:32.1

last year led the NFL in target rate. So this is how many routes he was running, how often he

1:36.2

was targeted on those. 37% of the time when he ran a route, he was targeted number one in the NFL. He led the NFL in yards per route run. He was as efficient as it gets. So yeah,

1:44.3

the age really isn't showing at least not yet. And to take it another step even further,

1:48.0

Tyreek earned to his first read target 38% of the time, which was top five in the NFL.

1:53.1

Compared to Jalum Waddle, the other top 20 receiver on this team who only earned it 15% of the time.

1:58.0

That's how wide of a difference there was between these two guys. So Tyreeks in
