Top 60 fantasy football WRs for the Wild Card round

The playoffs are here and it is time to rank some wide receivers for the first round. We’ve got some of the top receivers in the league going in the playoffs, with the fantasy and receptions leader in Puka Nacua and the touchdown leader in Davante Adams. The yardage leader, Jaxson Smith-Njigba, gets a bye this first week, but he’ll be making an appearance soon. The question is, who will step up this year in the playoffs?

There are a wide variety of pass defenses in the playoffs this season, with plenty in the “below average” category, especially if you check out their DVOA rankings below. There will be upside for passing games this weekend.

WR injuries/news

Rome Odunze, Bears

Odunze is dealing with a stress fracture in his foot, but was able to return to practice last week and get a questionable designation. We’ll need to keep an eye on his practices this week, but he at least has a chance to play against the Packers on Saturday night.

Davante Adams, Rams

Adams returned to practice last week and got a questionable designation as he deals with a hamstring injury. It seems like the team was being extra cautious with him so he’d be ready for the playoffs. Head coach Sean McVay also told reporters on Monday that he expects Adams to play.

Ricky Pearsall, 49ers

Pearsall got a questionable designation, but was unable to play in Week 18 with back and knee injuries. He reportedly was close to playing, so his chance of playing this week against the Eagles is decent.

Dontayvion Wicks, Packers

Wicks is in concussion protocol, but got an extra week due to the Packers resting guys in Week 18. His chances of being cleared should be good.
