In May 2020, we delivered the RotoHeat 2020 Redraft Rankings Series, bringing you a look at the top 12 rankings for each position. As we enter August and Redraft season we have updated our rankings. We kick off the updated series with the Updated 2020 Redraft Wide Receiver Rankings.



The RotoHeat 2020 Redraft Rankings Series brings you a look at the top 12 rankings for each position. In Redraft Leagues, your team roster starts fresh each season. The RotoHeat 2020 Redraft Rankings Series takes a deep dive into those players that we feel are at the top of their positions entering 2020. Engage with passionate fantasy football managers, and let the RotoHeat content team know what topics YOU want to hear about by visiting our RotoHeat Redraft Fantasy Football Facebook page.



I started this series with the Quarterbacks and stated that of all the positions to rank, Quarterback remains the most difficult. If given enough time, I can make a compelling argument for 20-23 of the leagues starting quarterbacks to be top 12 fantasy options. In part two of this series I ranked the Running Backs. I pointed out that it has been a volatile position over the last few seasons, as we have seen plenty of movement within RB rankings and end of season numbers.



In part three I discuss the Wide Receivers. This position without fail is deep. Plucking twelve of them off the list is rather easy at the top, and gets dramatically more difficult from seven on down. Being ranked as a WR13 or WR15 simply means there are 12 or 14 I like more. Those ranked in that slot are still extremely talented and a WR that you want on your rosters in 2020.



Updated 2020 Redraft Wide Receiver Rankings

16. Robert Woods – Los Angeles Rams (Previously 17th)



Robert Woods has posted back-to-back 130-plus target seasons with consecutive top-16 finishes in PPR. In my opinion, he’s a no doubt No. 2 fantasy receiver. He’s had 15-plus PPR points in half of his games over the past two seasons, creating some good consistency.



The Rams offense has been among the most aggressive passing the ball since Sean McVay took over, and Woods should continue to see plenty of work. In 2019, Woods posted his second consecutive season over 1,100 yards and set a career high with 90 receptions. Woods remarkably didn’t score a touchdown until Week 12 and ended the season with only two. If Woods can experience some positive touchdown regression he has top-12 WR upside and may very well be too low in my updated 2020 Redraft Wide Receiver Rankings.



15. Cooper Kupp – Los Angeles Rams (Previously 14th)



In his past 24 games, Cooper Kupp has 16 touchdowns and 13 games with 17-plus PPR points. He’s also had six or more targets in 18 of those 24 games. In addition, Kupp finished in the top 10 among receivers in red-zone targets and top five in targets inside the 10-yard line in 2019.
