2022 Dynasty WR Rookie Rankings
When the NFL Draft concludes, fantasy football dynasty draft season begins and it is a glorious time. After months of watching film, breaking down analytics, and measuring up potential fits, we now know where all the coveted NFL rookies were selected and it is time to see the fantasy fallout.
After ranking the 2022 dynasty rookie RBs, I'm now presenting my picks for the top-25 rookie wide receivers. The more I've watched this class the more I've liked it. It might lack depth, but there's plenty to like in this first-year crop.
Here are my 2022 rookie wideout rankings and how I'll be approaching rookie-only drafts this season.

Immediate Impact Starters
Drake London (Atlanta Falcons) - As the draft drew closer, it became apparent that London had a real shot at being the first widout selected and that's exactly what transpired. London is huge (6-4, 219) and has the wheels to be a formidable downfield threat. He also walks into a situation where he'll undoubtedly be Atlanta's No. 1 wide receiver and should be peppered with targets from Day One. While the Falcons are projected to be one of the five worst squads in football, London should capitalize with massive volume and has major red-zone appeal. He's my No. 1 rookie wideout and should contend for weekly WR2 status. Garret Wilson (New York Jets) - A versatile weapon from Ohio State, Wilson has the twitchy moves and route running to be a dangerous threat around the line of scrimmage but also has enough jets (4.38 speed) to be a dangerous downfield weapon from the perimeter or inside. Wilson's 91.8 PFF grade against single coverage was the second-highest in FBS and he's also adept at going over the middle to reel in tough catches. He's a complete receiver and gives the Jets an intriguing group of skill-position talent to support sophomore QB Zach Wilson. Treylon Burks (Tennessee Titans) - The shocking draft-day trade of A.J. Brown to Philadelphia opens the door for Burks to potentially emerge as Tennessee's No. 1 perimeter wideout as early as 2022. The ironic thing in that trade is that the explosive Burks was often comped to Brown as a sizable downfield weapon who has the size and strength to create a ton of yards after catch and break tackles. He'll get the opportunity to shine right away in Brown's old spot and should benefit from the presence of a healthy Robert Woods.WHAT OTHER PLAYERS MADE JODY'S TOP-20 ROOKIE WR RANKINGS?
