2019 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Tiers: Draft Primer

August 27, 2019 by Kurt Turner

The 2019 fantasy football draft is loaded with wide receivers. Last year we saw an enormous jump in WR production and if the trend continues this means the depth at WR is better than ever in 2019. We do not have a shortage of breakouts and sleepers at the WR position and therefore I believe your bench should be WR deep this season. Playing matchups is going to be very profitable for league managers that draft smart. Okay lets break down our wide receiver tiers into multiple groupings and give you a round to target them in a 12 team league. I'll cover PPR WR tiers first followed by non-PPR WR tiers second.
