Devy Fantasy Football Prospect Rankings: Wide Receivers (2024)

If you’re looking for a dynasty league on steroids, you might want to consider joining a devy league. Devy was first created in the 1990s by Scott Fish of Scott Fish Bowl fame, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular formats in fantasy football.

In devy leagues, you draft college prospects and stash them until they declare for the NFL Draft. Unlike the Campus2Canton (C2C) format, you don’t score any fantasy points from your prospects’ college production. Instead, you secure their rights for the future.

Devy fantasy football leagues aren’t for the weak and require more research than your standard dynasty league, but I highly recommend the format for those looking for a deeper experience. If you do the work, you can build superteams and create a massive advantage over your league mates.

Devy Fantasy Football 101

As noted above, devy leagues have a built-in minor league for your dynasty team. Each league is different, but the majority require each prospect to be enrolled in college. That means you can’t draft the local high school product you saw dominating on Friday night.

However, you can draft true freshmen like Jeremiah Smith, Micah Hudson, and Ryan Williams. Just make sure to pay close attention to your particular league settings. Some leagues will have unlimited devy roster spots, while others might have you limited to only a few devy prospects each. Drafting all true freshmen would lock your roster in place for at least three years and severely limit your flexibility and depth.

There has been an influx of talented wide receivers making the leap from college football to the NFL. That trend isn’t stopping anytime soon. Missouri’s Luther Burden and Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan are special wide receiver prospects currently projected as early 2025 NFL Draft picks.

Burden is an explosive athlete with top-end speed while McMillan offers more size in contested catch situations. Fellow 2025-eligible wide receivers Evan Stewart, Emeka Egbuka, and Isaiah Bond are grouped together in the next tier. Draft capital and situation are likely to determine their pecking order.

The 2026 class already has a handful of rising stars in Zachariah Branch, Carnell Tate, and Eugene Wilson. The true freshman class might be one of the best groups we’ve seen in a while. Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith is the cream of the crop, but fellow 2027-eligible wide receivers Micah Hudson, Cam Coleman, and Ryan Williams are nice consolation prizes for devy managers.
