You love fantasy rankings, but you really love tiered fantasy rankings. We get it:  Tiers give rankings texture and can be a big help when you’re actually drafting.

Here are my tiered wide receiver rankings for 2022.

Tier 1

• Cooper Kupp (WR – LAR)
• Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN)
• Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN)

These are the elites. I’d feel comfortable taking any of them not only in the first round of PPR or 0.5 PPR fantasy drafts but inside the top five.

With a 145-1,947-16 season, Cooper Kupp led the league in receptions, receiving yardage and TD catches last year. It all looked every bit as good as the numbers suggest, too. Kupp probably won’t be able to match his majestic 2021 numbers, but regal production will likely be the new normal for him.
