This past season was a story of big successes and big failures (Larry Fitzgerald’s owners need no reminders) by many wide receivers. The 2013 WR Rankings reflect my reactions to the amazing/horrible seasons that some of these guys had. With many leagues now requiring three starting wide receivers or using flex spots, the wide receiver position has taken on new meaning.
(UPDATE: Actually, our latest 2013 WR Rankings are posted here! We’ll be updating them throughout the summer and preseason!)
In 2012, we saw Calvin Johnson get drafted among the top six picks in most Fantasy leagues. He then went out and broke Jerry Rice’s single-season yardage record, and nearly caught 2,000-yards worth of passes. Unfortunately, he scored just five touchdowns, which is the second-lowest total among the top 14 wide receivers. So even though he was the top Fantasy wide receiver, it wasn’t by a landslide, as Brandon Marshall’s 11 touchdowns and 1,500 yards were right on Megatron’s tail.
Calvin Johnson actually had a better Fantasy season in 2011, since he scored nearly 50 points more than the second-best that season, Jordy Nelson.
Some other hindsight observations on the 2012 season:So let’s look ahead into the 2013 season!
Quick thoughts on my 2013 Fantasy Football WR Rankings:
Rookies aren’t in these rankings, but we’ll add them after the draft – and bump down the veterans whose jobs are suddenly in danger!

These 2013 Fantasy Football WR Rankings should give you a decent look into the upcoming draft season. Did I miss the boat on a couple guys? Do I have the 2012 rookie class too low, with both Justin Blackmon and Josh Brown ranked in the 30s? Let us know what you think.
