Wide receiver is one of the most critical positions. Most fantasy football rosters have the most position slots for receivers, so it needs the most depth. You’re going to need multiple receivers in case of injury or players underperforming. Let’s look at a few receivers you should draft in 2024.

Must-Have Wide Receivers
Drake London (WR – ATL)
The Falcons’ offense during Drake London’s tenure has been disappointing. Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ridder did not elevate this offense or its supporting pieces.
With Kirk Cousins, Atlanta has its best passer since Matt Ryan, even coming off tearing his Achilles injury.
Look at Justin Jefferson‘s production with Cousins — WR6, WR4 and WR1. He was also the WR1 up until his injury in Week 5 last season.
London has seen over 110 targets in both seasons but has been outside the top 30 in catchable target rate. An upgrade at quarterback could finally make him the WR1 we all hoped for.
Keon Coleman (WR – BUF)
Few rookies could potentially see over 100 targets, but players like Marvin Harrison Jr., Rome Odunze and Malik Nabers are going much higher in drafts. Keon Coleman provides great value at WR46.
Someone needs to replace Stefon Diggs as Josh Allen‘s top receiver, and the Bills drafted Coleman in the second round to do that. He checks all the boxes of a top receiver: Size, can get separation, excellent route running abilities and can get vertical to grab the 50/50 ball.
Buffalo’s offense looked much better when Joe Brady became the offensive coordinator in the middle of last season, so there is confidence in Coleman outplaying his average draft position (ADP).
