Dynasty Perspective Through Fantasy Points Per Game: Wide Receivers

The dynasty world can be an optical illusion, where everything is not what it appears. On the surface you can see the landscape, however looking deeper can uncover a new meaning, a different perspective. In this four-part series, I’ll be discovering the true takeaways from the dynasty world - through the contrast of overall fantasy points scored versus the fantasy points per game (FPPG) in 2024.
FPPG is key to understanding a player’s true performance. Why would we consider yearly totals when we play a weekly game? Focusing purely on the overall output misses key information such as games missed through injury, hence can skew outlook based on random events. Focusing on FPPG compares players on a level playing field, game versus game, to truly identify their fantasy effectiveness.
The third article in the series focuses on wide receivers, contrasting the overall output against the weekly output from 2024 (excluding week 18). The previous article on running backs can be found here.
Any rookie wide receiver to finish as WR4 overall has had an outstanding season. Thomas Jr was a raw prospect despite producing a monster final season at LSU - leading the nation in touchdowns (17). The production translated to the pro game, with 10 receiving touchdowns in his rookie season, impressive considering the situation around him. Franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence missed the second half of the season, with Thomas Jr’s best production coming with backup Mac Jones, when he delivered the WR3 performance in FPPG, as opposed to WR22 in FPPG with Lawrence.
