Many fantasy pundits swear by heavily investing in the wide receiver position when building out your dynasty fantasy football roster because of their lengthy shelf life and the reliable fantasy floor they can provide your team every week.
With that in mind, here are my updated dynasty WR rankings to help guide you as we head into Week 17 of the 2023 NFL season.

Dynasty WR Risers After Week 16
Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams
To be perfectly honest, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to rank Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua outside of my top 10 wide receivers in dynasty formats. The concerns about his athletic profile and lack of significant draft capital have proven to be a complete non-factor when it comes to his production on the field in this offensive system.
Sure, his prospect profile may be a bit of an outlier in correlation to his exceptional production, but if you’re going to attempt to dismiss Nacua’s outstanding rookie campaign then I would argue you’re being a bit stubborn at this point.

His dynasty outlook has all kinds of positives going for him. He has an offensive-minded coach who knows how to utilize a player with his skill set perfectly, and he shows a veteran’s savviness when it comes to reading a defense through the same eyes of his quarterback.
Nacua is the real deal. If dynasty managers continue to doubt his production this year, then I would gladly take him off their hands.
Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns
The talented veteran receiver is coming off the best game of his career last week, with WR Amari Cooper going for 265 yards and two scores on 11 receptions with Joe Flacco under center.
Regardless of whatever you think about QB Deshaun Watson’s level of play since putting on a Browns uniform, Cooper was a borderline WR1 when he was in the lineup in 2023.

Cooper is well positioned heading into 2024 to be a bonafide WR1 again for the Browns, which has led to a big jump in the dynasty rankings heading into the final two games of the 2023 season.
