As the regular-season finale approaches, most leagues have wrapped up their fantasy season, but a few stragglers will hold their title game this Sunday.

Unfortunately, that means many teams will be resting starters or limiting their playing time with their postseason fates already known. That makes it a very challenging task for you to assemble an optimal fantasy lineup.

Among the notable fantasy receivers who could see only limited playing time this week include Tyreek Hill and Alshon Jeffery, both of whom play on teams essentially locked into their playoff spot. You’ve also got teams eliminated from playoff contention that could hold out starters dealing with injuries, most notably DeAndre Hopkins.

With that in mind, here is a look at the latest rankings for the top-50 wide receivers in standard scoring leagues.
