Our Fantasy Football Power Rankings continue on here at SideLion Report. This time around, we look at the wide receivers.
The position itself has become highly competitive as of late, especially from a fantasy football standpoint. Guys like Dez Bryant, Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown, Demaryius Thomas, and Odell Beckham Jr. are names that immediately come to mind.
Scoring: These rankings are based on standard scoring (one point per 25 passing yards and per 10 rushing/receiving yards and four points per passing touchdown and six points per rushing/receiving touchdown) and are for the 2015 NFL season only.
