Gather around, fantasy football drafters! It’s time to start preparing for the 2024 NFL season.

The top of the drafts is particularly difficult to fathom for WR this year, as each of the four most popular wideouts faces a number of looming circumstances that could impact their overall productivity this year.

Miami Dolphins star wideout Tyreek Hill feels like the safest bet as the WR1 for one of the league’s most efficient passing attacks right now, coming off a season that saw him finish third in targets and second in receiving yards among all wide receivers. However, he turns 30 this offseason, which could pose a challenge for receivers who rely on speed and athleticism to succeed (even if he’s likely the exception to the rule), and he’s reportedly dealing with a thumb injury.

Then there’s Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb, who led the NFL with 179 regular-season targets last year and is still holding out as he looks to sign a long-term extension with the team. Could his absence from the team’s offseason program affect his fitness heading into 2024?

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase is also in the midst of a contract impasse after the team picked up his fifth-year option earlier this offseason. He’s been absent from practice lately, and suddenly there are rumors he might not return to the field at all without a new deal.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson did get his contract extended this year, but concerns center around the quarterback position after a season-ending injury to rookie JJ McCarthy. Can veteran Sam Darnold sustain Jefferson’s production? Only time will tell.

Unfortunately, the tough decisions don’t end in the first round. Luckily, Yahoo Fantasy analysts are here to help with their full 2024 PPR wide receiver rankings.
