Top five NFL Fantasy Wide Receivers in 2020

A decade ago fantasy owners regularly waited until the fourth or fifth round to draft a productive wide receiver. Today, the most successful fantasy owners should still go running back heavy early to be successful, but with the lack of clear number one running backs on many NFL teams, you can draft a wide receiver early and do well. Here are the top five fantasy wide receivers in 2020.

5) Julio Jones–Atlanta Falcons–The native of Foley, Alabama was selected to the Pro Bowl for the seventh time in 2019. He also reached 1000 yards rushing for the seventh time in his career. Jones, who continues to be the top option for Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, had 99 catches for 1394 yards and six touchdowns last season.

4) Cooper Kupp–Los Angeles Rams–The native of Yakima, Washington is entering his fourth season with the Rams. A year ago, Kupp caught 94 passes for 1161 yards and 10 touchdowns. In the process, he clearly became the number one option for Rams quarterback Jared Goff.

3) Kenny Golladay–Detroit Lions–Due to the fact the Lions have struggled at running back ever since the retirement of Barry Sanders two decades ago, it is a safe bet to select a Lions receiver. Kenny Golladay of Chicago, Illinois enjoyed a breakout 2019 season. He led the NFL with 11 touchdown catches, and had 65 catches for 1190 yards.

2) Chris Godwin–Tampa Bay Buccaneers–A Pro Bowler for the first time in 2019, Godwin, a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will now be catching footballs from Tom Brady in 2020 instead of Jameis Winston. In 2019, Godwin enjoyed a career year as he caught 86 passes for 1333 yards and nine touchdowns.

1) Michael Thomas–New Orleans Saints–It was simply a record-breaking season for the Saints’ number one wideout in 2019. Michael Thomas of Los Angeles, California set the NFL single-season record for most receptions (149). He also led the NFL with 1725 yards receiving and 107.8 yards per game.
