Without PPR scoring, an already shallow wide receiver pool would be bone dry in fantasy football leagues.
Fantasy football rankings, Week 6: Consensus wide receivers for PPR leagues
The SB Nation fantasy staff rounds up the rankings for the top 50 wide receivers in PPR leagues.
But with it, fantasy owners can at least take solace in knowing production can be had in place of top-tier wide receivers who are hurt, or are condemned to the bottom of the ranks because of a quarterback injury. The likes of Jamison Crowder and Leonard Hankerson aren't going to come close to Dez Bryant or a healthy Julio Jones, but fantasy owners can at least have viable options elsewhere while their studs are on the mend.
The SB Nation's fantasy staff is aware of this as well, which is why unconventional names like Julian Edelman and DeAndre Hopkins top the ranks, but their statuses at the top are absolutely warranted amid juicy matchups and fabulous performances of late.
