Looking for more fantasy football must-have wide receivers and running backs in your drafts? Check out the 18 Must-Have RBs & WRs article, with all of the breakdowns from our featured experts!
Must-Have WRs
Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)
“Tee Higgins is currently going off the board as WR25 and 48th overall despite being a perennial WR2 for fantasy. Many fantasy managers are significantly lower on the Bengals offense this season, and Higgins is no exception. Higgins has significantly more upside than this, especially when you factor in the departure of former WR3 Tyler Boyd. This offense is going to run through Chase and Higgins, and you should take the discount now on the Bengals players before their value rebounds.”

Romeo Doubs (WR – GB)
“Romeo Doubs at WR54 says he is being slept on. Last season he was the most targeted wide receiver for Jordan Love with 96 targets. He caught 61.5% of his targets for 674 yards. Plus, he tied the receiving team lead of 8 touchdowns. I fully expect Jayden Reed to continue being the WR1 for the Packers, but Doubs should find himself as the WR2 regardless of who is healthy. Even with the addition of Josh Jacobs, the Packers will still lean on Love’s arm talent to win games. This gives me hope that Doubs continues to progress as a reliable target for Love possibly seeing more targets this season.”

Malachi Corley (WR – NYJ)
“This time last year, one of the players that I was shouting from the rooftops that I would not leave a draft without was Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua. That player, for me, in 2024 is none other than Malachi Corley. The highly productive wideout from Western Kentucky is already turning heads with the Jets’ coaching staff with his yards after catch ability. Once integrated into the offensive scheme, Corley will operate mainly out of the slot as the team will look to design plays specifically to get the ball into his hands early so that he can utilize his ability to create missed tackles. Will Aaron Rodgers also speaking glowingly about him during OTAs, it speaks volumes for the potential Corley can bring to fantasy managers at such a low cost in ADP. I fully expect to see Corley perform as a WR4 consistently in fantasy PPG IN 2024 and a player I will be leaving every draft with on my roster.”
