Fantasy Football Rankings Wide Receivers Top 50 Ranks: Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald Top Draft Options

Aug 29, 2013 12:41 PM EDT

The fantasy football season is here and that means it's time for drafts and owners to find the best value and best players at their positions to build teams to win leagues and one of the most interesting in drafts this year is the wide receiver position, with Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald and Dez Bryant looking like the best options.

Wideouts are very valuable in PPR leagues and in regular leagues Johnson should be looked at as a top option no matter what, same with Bryant, who had a huge season last year. Last season Johnson put up some amazing numbers and he had double digit receptions in six games and one of his best was when he had 12 catches for over 200 yards and one touchdown against the Vikings and after adding Reggie Bush to the mix, Johnson should be open even more.

There are some very interesting sleepers this year, including Chris Givens for the Rams, as Sam Bradford should develop more and with Tavon Austin also there he could put up big numbers. Last season he was a big play threat and Rueben Randle for the Giants could be the same, stepping up for Mario Manningham two years later and if Hakeem Nicks ss healthy, he could be a top receiver in fantasy for deeper leagues.

Randle showed potential last season and Robert Woods also could be good after being a second round pick by the Bills and Kenny Stills also could be very solid. Percy Harvin and Michael Crabtree are missing after injuries and a number of other players could be solid options, including Julio Jones, AJ Green as well as Greg Jennings as a sleeper option for the Vikings.

The Packers have Randall Cobb, James Jones and Jordy Nelson with the best QB in the league, while Seattle has Golden Tate and Sidney Rice. Some other options include TY Hilton as well as Demaryius Thomas, who should be great with Peyton Manning, Wes Welker and Eric Decker.
