Wild Card Wide Receiver Value Rankings
Here are theScore's wide receiver value rankings for Wild Card Weekend:
Value Rankings
QB | RB | WR | TE
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| A.J. Green (CIN) | vs. PIT | 10 |
| DeAndre Hopkins (HOU) | vs. KC | 7 |
| Doug Baldwin (SEA) | at MIN | 7 |
Green has by far the best matchup of any receiver, having torched the Steelers for a 17/250/2 line in two regular-season meetings; that includes a 6/132/1 Week 14 explosion with AJ McCarron under center. Hopkins and Baldwin should see enough volume to return cash-game value.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Randall Cobb (GB) | at WAS | 6 |
| DeSean Jackson (WAS) | vs. GB | 6 |
| Tyler Lockett (SEA) | at MIN | 6 |
| Antonio Brown (PIT) | at CIN | 5 |
| Jeremy Maclin (KC) | at HOU | 5 |
| James Jones (GB) | at WAS | 5 |
Cobb is strictly a boom-or-bust matchup play, and daily fantasy players might still want to consider a more consistent option. Brown posted a pedestrian 13/134/1 line in two meetings with the Bengals, and his price tag is extraordinarily high; you can probably do better this week.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Martavis Bryant (PIT) | at CIN | 4 |
| Stefon Diggs (MIN) | vs. SEA | 3 |
| Pierre Garcon (WAS) | vs. GB | 3 |
| Jermaine Kearse (SEA) | at MIN | 3 |
| Nate Washington (HOU) | vs. KC | 3 |
| Marvin Jones (CIN) | vs. PIT | 3 |
| Jamison Crowder (WAS) | vs. GB | 2 |
| Davante Adams (GB) | at WAS | 2 |
| Markus Wheaton (PIT) | at CIN | 2 |
| Albert Wilson (KC) | at HOU | 1 |
| Mike Wallace (MIN) | vs. SEA | 1 |
| Jaelen Strong (HOU) | vs. KC | 1 |
None of the options listed above are recommended plays; if you're looking for a lottery pick, consider Crowder, who had 109 yards and a touchdown in limited action in the Redskins' season finale.
