#5 - Cooper Kupp

After missing the majority of the 2022 season through injury, many fans forgot how dominant Cooper Kupp was when he won the 'Triple Crown' back in 2021.

Kupp led all WRs in yards, touchdowns and receptions as he formed an instant relationship with Matthew Stafford, one which culminated in the Los Angeles Rams winning the Super Bowl.

Kupp ended 2021 with a monstrous 439.5 fantasy points, over 100 clear of any other WR this year.

Health is, of course, the main concern when drafting Kupp as his ankle injury side-lined him for most of 2022, while Stafford also missed time with a spinal cord injury.

#4 - Stefon Diggs

On week 1 of the 2022 NFL season, Buffalo Bills wideout Stefon Diggs declared 'I'm him', after blasting past Jalen Ramsey for a score in the Bills' 31-10 win over the defending Super Bowl champs Rams.

Diggs was 'him' in 2022, totalling 321.2 fantasy points across the year as he formed a lethal duo with QB Josh Allen.

Allen's huge arm and Diggs speed and elusiveness left defenses in their wake all year, and expect them to pick up where they left off if they can overcome their argument on the Bills sideline during their playoff exit against the Cincinnati Bengals.

#3 - Tyreek Hill

Many questions were asked of Tyreek Hill when he moved from Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins.

Hill answered those questions, and then some as he had 341.2 fantasy points in an outstanding 2022 season. Hill had an immediate connection with Tua, one that was only hindered when the quarterback faced various health concerns throughout the year.

If Tagovailoa can remain healthy all year, expect him, Hill and Jaylen Waddle form one of the most electrifying offenses in football.

#2 - Ja'Marr Chase

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase ranked 11th overall in fantasy scoring in 2022 despite missing four games through injury and having a game suspended against the Buffalo Bills in the wake of Damar Hamlin's heart attack.

Chase was as good as his rookie year when on the field, seamlessly linking up with his former college QB Joe Burrow.

Burrow took a step forward in 2022, and expect the same of a healthy Chase in this insane Bengals offense.

Who had the most fantasy points as a WR last year?

#1 - Justin Jefferson

Ad

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson had the most fantasy points as a WR in 2022, amassing 368.7 PPR points across an outstanding 2022 season.

Jefferson built on his rapport with QB Kirk Cousins and was the clear WR1 for Minnesota, ahead of Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn.

Jefferson remains by far and away the best wide receiver in football, and until anyone can challenge him on that, he will likely be the best fantasy WR in 2023.
