Level 1: The elite pursues earners who make the most of their opportunities

While points per game from previous seasons aren’t everything, every wide receiver at this level averaged more than 20 PPR points per game in 2022. And while others were close, receivers from this group are primed to repeat in 2023.hey all averaged 10 or more goals per game a season ago and shouldn’t be in danger of losing that goal share this coming season.

Justin Jefferson is almost unquestionably the WR1 at this point, never finishing below WR7 in a season since entering the league three years ago and most recently finishing as the overall PPR WR1.

JaMarr Chase played in just 12 games last season, but he still did enough to rank among the top 12 PPR wide receivers. We have yet to see Chase reach his full potential in the NFL, but he is Joe Burrow at quarterback, and we’ve already seen glimpses of his dominance over two seasons, cementing him as a top-tier wide receiver.

Tyreek Hill traded teams in 2023, but he still recorded his second WR2 PPR ranking in the last three seasons. The speedy veteran led the position in yards per carry (3.20) by a wide margin and was targeted on more than 30 percent of his routes on the season. Even at 29, Hill looks to ride it back to Miami as an elite fantasy option.

Cooper’s Coup played in just nine games last season after finishing WR1 the year before, and while some were disappointed with his season, everything he did in those nine games showed that 2021 was no slouch. In Weeks 1-9, Kupp was the WR2 overall and finished second in the league in targets (90), receiving yards (813) and touchdowns (6). Cup and Matthew Stafford back healthy for 2023, expect the fantasy points to continue to trend toward the cupps.
