Wide receivers are arguably the most valuable players in fantasy football. We look at the five rookies who should be top of draft boards in dynasty leagues.

Whether it is running backs or wide receivers who are the most valuable players in fantasy football is still up for discussion. What is not debatable, however, is that this year’s rookie class is much deeper at the latter position.

Though only two were selected in the first round, there was a great wealth of receiver talent available in the 2019 draft and many of them landed in situations that should make them attractive options in both redraft and dynasty fantasy football leagues.

Here we focus on the latter and look at five receivers who should be some of the first names off the board in dynasty drafts this year.

5. Terry McLaurin – Washington Redskins

McLaurin could hardly have landed in a better spot for fantasy production in both standard and dynasty leagues, as he joins his college quarterback on a Redskins team short of talent at wide receiver.

Washington has little in terms of reliable experienced options beyond Paul Richardson, with former first-round pick Josh Doctson continuing to disappoint, giving a clear path to McLaurin – who can play on the boundary and in the slot – starting as a rookie.

His immediate value will skyrocket if first-round pick Dwayne Haskins wins the starting quarterback job. Even if Haskins sits in 2019, the long-term potential for he and McLaurin to be a high-scoring fantasy duo is huge given the rapport they demonstrated at Ohio State.

McLaurin was a steal for Washington and the third-rounder is in an excellent situation to be a significant contributor for years to come. Don’t hesitate to pounce if he is still on the board after the first two rounds of dynasty drafts.
