Your fantasy playoffs are basically here. They're at least quickly approaching, maybe one or two more weeks.

0:04.1

And I believe that I found the five best wide receivers for the fantasy playoffs that you need to win your league.

0:08.5

These receivers have great roles, strong talent, but the big reason why you want them is their playoff schedules are insanely good.

0:15.0

And it starts with Calvin Ridley. If you were able to weather the storm of the early season Calvin Ridley struggles and the Will Levis poor

0:21.5

play that has now improved. Well, congratulations because I believe you have a league winner on

0:25.5

your hands in Mr. Calvin Ridley. And this great Ridley usage continued in week 12, where he sees a 26%

0:31.0

target chair against the Houston Texans. He turns that into another strong performance. He doesn't

0:35.4

break 100 yards, but he gets damn close. Five catches, 93 yards. He has another massive reception in this game of over 50 yards.

0:41.7

It seems like every single week we're seeing an explosive play from Will Levis. That's what

0:45.2

he's known for, his big arm. He's going to be reckless, but he'll take some shots like James

0:48.5

Winston, and he's taking them to Calvin Ridley. Now, Ridley right here, if you look at these weeks on Fantasy Life, these weeks from week 8 to week 12, I specifically point this out because this is when DeAndre Hopkins was

0:59.0

traded away from the Tennessee Titans. And since then, it's been a completely different player

1:03.8

in Calvin Ridley. They're using him a little bit different, but of course as well, there's no more

1:07.5

DeAndre Hopkins to take away target competition. 38% target share the first week that Mr. Hopkins was gone, and then just look down that column,

1:14.3

32%, 39%. By the way, anything like 25% or above is elite. 20%. Okay, his worst performance is

1:20.5

21%, which is still solid. 26% on that span, he's seeing a 32% target share. During this time,

1:26.8

since week 8, Calvin Ridley ranks top five amongst all wide receivers,

1:30.5

not just, oh, you know, rookies and a couple of, all wide receivers Calvin Ridley ranks top five in usage.

1:35.9

And a big reason for that is there's just no more target competition.

1:38.9

I like Tyler Boyd for what Tyler Boyd is, a guy out of the slot who can win.

1:42.3

We saw him have like a five or six catch game this past week.

1:45.0

Nick Westbrook-A-Kean, a lot of people will point to and be like, oh, this guy's super
