Beyond just a handful of superstars, the wide receiver crop could drive fantasy football managers crazy this season.
There are so many injury concerns, coaching changes and offseason player movement that there seems to be a big cluster of similar receivers in the 10 to 40 range every week. Perhaps we'll get some clarity in Week 1 and more go-to guys will emerge, but for now ... ranking them is far from an exact science.
One fairly certain bet, however, is DeVonta Smith taking over as the Eagles' No. 1 receiver in the wake of A.J. Brown's departure to New England. Both players find spots in our top 10 at the position for Week 1.
