Fantasy Football Rankings 2017: Wide Receiver

1. Antonio Brown, Steelers. You might be worried about the return of Martavis Bryant causing a dip in Brown's production, but the last time they played together, Brown had 1,834 yards and 10 TDs. The fact that last season's 106 receptions and 1,234 yards were his "worst" numbers since 2012 should tell you just how dominant Brown is.

2. Julio Jones, Falcons. Not much to say about Jones other than he's a monster who's averaged over 100 yards per game in each of the past four seasons. We like Brown a little more because of Jones' minor injury history, but no one would you blame you for making Jones the first receiver off the board.

3. Odell Beckham Jr., Giants. Beckham has opened his career with three straight seasons of at least 91 catches, 1,305 yards, and 10 TDs. If he finishes this season as fantasy's top receiver, it wouldn't be a surprise.

4. A.J. Green, Bengals. Green can seem like a forgotten superstar at times, but last year was his first without 1,000 yards -- and that's only because he missed the final six games due to a severe hamstring injury. Green was actually on pace for his best season yardage-wise (96.4 ypg), and even though his TDs were down, there's no reason to worry about him heading into this year.

5. Mike Evans, Buccaneers. Last season's top WR in standard leagues, Evans will have a little more competition for targets in Tampa with DeSean Jackson in town, but considering he led the league in that category last year (173), there will still be more than enough to go around.

6. Jordy Nelson, Packers. Nelson narrowly missed edging Evans for top WR honors last year after leading all receivers with 14 touchdowns. Aaron Rodgers' go-to guy has as much upside as anyone.

7. Dez Bryant, Cowboys. The past two seasons have been forgettable for Bryant, who's been limited to just 21 games. Now healthy and with a (seemingly) stable quarterback, we could see a return to the form that helped him average 1,312 yards and just under 14 TDs from 2012-'14.

8. Amari Cooper, Raiders. The knock on Cooper is that he doesn't score enough TDs, which stems from Michael Crabtree being the Raiders' preferred target in the red zone. And while it's true Crabtree (26) had nine more red-zone targets than Cooper (17) last year, it's worth noting that Coopers share went up from 2015 (8), both in raw number and percentage between the two (Crabtree had 15). Given the trend, this could easily be Cooper's big breakout season.

9. Michael Thomas, Saints. Now "The Man" in New Orleans with Brandin Cooks gone, it's almost tough to imagine Thomas getting significantly better than his 92-catch, 1,137-yard, nine-TD rookie campaign. But we know the opportunities will be there, and Thomas is an especially tough cover in the red zone.

10. Demaryius Thomas, Broncos. It's always tough to trust a receiver with a shaky QB, but Thomas has earned the benefit of the doubt. Despite dealing with poor quarterback play (and a sore hip) the past two years, Thomas has averaged 97.5 receptions, 1,194 yards and 5.5 TDs. Obviously, it would be nice if the latter number was bigger, but Thomas is still a high-upside play every week.

11. Doug Baldwin, Seahawks. After a breakout 2015 that seemed a bit fluky, Baldwin cemented himself as a legit WR1 last year, posting a 94-1,128-7 line. Unless last season's promised Tyler Lockett breakout happens, Baldwin will remain Russell Wilson's top target this year, which should lead to more of the same.

12. DeAndre Hopkins, Texans. We can blame poor quarterback play for Hopkins' forgettable 2016 (78-954-4), but it's unclear just how much better Houston's QB situation will be this season. Still, it would be silly to write off someone with Hopkins' talent, especially since he's put up huge numbers with a so-so quarterback in the past. Hopkins was still one of just nine receivers with at least 150 targets last year, so the opportunities will definitely be there.

13. Brandin Cooks, Patriots. Cooks is a major wild card this year with his move to New England. It's tempting to think he's going to have a monster year in the Pats' well-oiled machine of an offense, but he's leaving arguably the NFL's best well-oiled machine, at least in terms of guys putting up fantasy numbers. Cooks now has to compete with Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski (among others) on a team that threw eight fewer times per game than the Saints last year, and he'll also have to play his home games outdoors. The Pats wanted him, so it's not as if they aren't going to utilize him, but that might mean making him a decoy more often than fantasy owners will like. The overall numbers will likely be there at the end of the year, but owning Cooks could be a rollercoaster.

14. T.Y. Hilton, Colts. Hilton led the league in receiving yards last year (1,448), and while TDs remain somewhat elusive (career high of seven), the big-play machine is always a good option. However, Andrew Luck's shoulder injury has him dropping in rankings. Hilton could wind up being a steal if Luck is back by Week 2 or 3.

15. Alshon Jeffery, Eagles. Jeffery "bet on himself" this offseason by signing a one-year deal with the Eagles, so if there's ever been a candidate for big "contract year", it's the former Bear. In order for him accomplish that he'll need to stay healthy, which has been a problem for him the past two years (11 missed games). He's in a pretty good spot, though, as Philadelphia passed the sixth-most times per game last year. A lot depends on sophomore QB Carson Wentz, who was up-and-down in his rookie campaign, but it's good sign that Jeffery and the rest of the Eagles new-look receiving corps traveled with Wentz to Fargo, ND, this offseason to work on their timing.

16. Kelvin Benjamin, Panthers. Benjamin is another guy looking for a bounce-back, though his final numbers of 941 yards and seven TDs aren't terrible for a guy coming off a torn ACL. However, when you realize that 199 of those yards and three of those TDs came in Weeks 1 and 2, it looks a little worse. Early reports from Panthers' camp indicate Benjamin is "leaner" than last year, and while conditioning will always be an issue with him, we know he can produce at any (reasonable) weight level. A little more consistency from the Panthers' offense in general should lead to bigger and better things from Benjamin.

17. Allen Robinson, Jaguars. And here's yet another stud WR coming off a disappointing 2016. Robinson only had seven fewer receptions than in 2015, but his yards per game fell by over 32 and his TDs fell from 14 to six. It's fair to wonder if '15 was the fluke, especially given Blake Bortles' shaky play, but Robinson has all the tools to repeat his breakout performance. The Jaguars threw the ball the fourth-most times last year, and even with Leonard Fournette in the backfield, they still figure to be playing their fair share of catch-up.

18. Tyreek Hill, Chiefs. Hil scored 11 TDs last year, including three on runs and two on returns. It's probably unfair to expect that many this year, but Hill's electric ability with the ball in his hands is why he can take it the distance on every play -- and why he has so much upside. Kansas City's offensive system doesn't lend itself to monster numbers from one receiver, but with Jeremy Maclin gone, Hill should lead the team in targets -- or at least keep pace with Travis Kelce -- and the added bonus he gets from running the ball a few times per game should help be a little more consistent than the typical "big-play" receiver.

19. Terrelle Pryor, Redskins. Pryor had two career catches before last year's 77-catch, 1,077-yard, four-TD breakout, and what's even crazier is that he did it with the Browns' stable of quarterbacks. Now in pass-happy Washington, one of three teams to average over 300 passing yards per game last year, Pryor could be this season's biggest breakout. Washington has plenty of targets to go around with DeSean Jackson (100 targets last year) and Pierre Garcon (114) out of town, and Pryor's 6-4 frame should also make him popular in the red zone.

20. Davante Adams, Packers. Adams is back in fantasy owners' good graces after a monster 2016. Only teammate Jordy Nelson had more receiving TDs than Adams' 12, and he finished just three yards short of 1,000. Randall Cobb is still in Green Bay, and Martellus Bennett has been added at TE, so it's tough to assess the likelihood of a repeat performance from Adams, but obviously he's in the right offense for big production. We're expecting him to take a step back but still be a capable every-week fantasy receiver.

21. Sammy Watkins, Rams. Watkins "only" missed eight games because of a foot injury last year, but if you owned him, it felt like more. He averaged 53.8 yards per game and scored just twice, disappearing in even favorable matchups. Assuming he's healthy, Watkins is a prime bounce-back candidate, even with the QB questions in L.A. You're definitely taking a risk with Watkins, but the potential payoff is huge.

22. Michael Crabtree, Raiders. Plenty doubted Crabtree's bounce-back 2015, but he performed even better last year, posting just the second 1,000-yard season of his career. As mentioned above, Amari Cooper closed the gap a bit on Crabtree's red-zone dominance, but there still figures to be plenty of targets to go around in all areas of the field.

23. Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals. Fitzgerald talked about retirement last offseason, then went out and led the league in receptions (107). His yards and TDs both decreased, which isn't a surprise given how much Carson Palmer's play regressed, but Fitzgerald proved, if nothing else, he's still a PPR beast. The 33-year-old future Hall-of-Famer was mum on retirement plans this summer, and while it's a bit unreasonable to expect WR1 production, there should be enough left in the tank for Fitz to be an every-week play.

24. DeVante Parker, Dolphins. Parker had some sleeper buzz heading into last season, but he ultimately disappointed, posting two or fewer catches five times. He managed two 100-yard games and four TDs, but consistency was an elusive ghost for him. With Jay Ajayi breaking out and target-hog Jarvis Landry still in tow, there's no singular reason to expect things to change this year, but Parker clearly improved from Year 1 to Year 2 (30 more catches, 250 more yards) and he seemed to be more trusted by Dolphins' coaches as the season went on. The "Year 3 Breakout" is a popular fantasy theory, and while there's not hard evidence to support it, Parker is the type of athletically gifted, big-play receiver who seems poised for better things. If he can eat into Kenny Stills' production from last year (726 yards, nine TDs), which he should, his numbers could really jump. (Update: The change from Ryan Tannehill to Jay Cutler isn't necessarily a plus for Parker, but we know Cutler looks to throw deep and let his big receivers go up and make plays. As long as Cutler isn't totally washed up, Parker's upside remains the same.)

25. Martavis Bryant, Steelers. After serving a one-year ban for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, the troubled Steelers' receiver has been reinstated and is expected to start opposite Antonio Brown. Bryant posted 15 total TDs in just 21 games in 2014 and '15, averaging 17.3 yards per catch along the way. He reportedly put on 10 pounds of muscle to his 6-4 frame, making him even more imposing in the red zone. There's obvious risk here, both in the form of Bryant getting suspended for the season at any point and the uncertainty involved with a player who's sat out a year, but the upside is obvious in Pittsburgh's high-powered passing attack. Bryant has a real chance to finish the year as a top-tier wideout.

26. Keenan Allen, Chargers. What to do with Allen, who's played just nine games the past two seasons because of kidney and knee injuries and also suffered a broken collarbone late in 2014/ Injuries are a major concern with Allen, but we know what he can do if healthy. Just two years ago he was averaging almost 91 yards a game through half the season. Allen's value could depend a lot on whether rookie Mike Williams (back) can play this year, but he's a worthwhile pick either way.

27. Emmanuel Sanders, Broncos. Sanders' numbers dipped for the second straight season, but he still posted 1,032 yards and five TDs despite shaky quarterback play and a disastrous final two weeks. He isn't quite the PPR stud he was in 2014 when he caught 101 passes, but he's still relatively consistent and proven. It doesn't hurt that Sanders was just one of only 12 WRs with at least 20 red-zone targets last year.

28. Golden Tate, Lions. The Lions' offense continues to evolve, which makes it difficult to rank Tate, who went from 1,331 yards in 2014 to 813 in '15 and 1,077 last season. This year, Anquan Boldin, who posted a relatively healthy 95 targets, including a team-leading 24 inside the red zone, is gone, opening the door for Tate to get the larger piece of the pie that many thought he would get when Calvin Johnson retired.

29. DeSean Jackson, Buccaneers. Even at 30, Jackson continues to be one of the NFL's premier big-play threats, averaging 17.9 yards per catch last year. His speed will bring a new dimension to the Bucs offense, so it's tough to compare to the guy he'll ostensibly be replacing, Vincent Jackson. DeSean doesn't figure to be a big touchdown guy either way, but he'll have the upside for a huge game every week.

30. Jeremy Maclin, Ravens. Maclin's production took a severe hit last year, though he later said he was playing through a torn groin. Now with the Ravens, he'll be with last year's most pass-happy team -- that happens to be missing two of its top three targeted receivers (Steve Smith Sr. and Dennis Pitta). If healthy, Maclin could easily regain the form that saw him average 1,203 yards and nine TDs in 2014-'15 with the Eagles and Chiefs.

31. Jamison Crowder, Redskins. Crowder finished last season with a whimper, catching just nine passes for 80 yards over the final four games, but prior to that, he was one of the most consistent receivers in the NFL. In each of the eight games leading up to that late-season slide, Crowder had at least 8.8 fantasy points, scoring a touchdown in all but two games. The addition of Pryor might have some overlooking Crowder, but with DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon out of town, the door is open for Crowder to be a major contributor in both PPR and standard leagues.

32. Jordan Matthews, Bills. Matthews' disappointing 2016 started strong, but drops and inconsistent play from rookie QB Carson Wentz hurt him overall. Now in Buffalo, Matthews should once again be a "WR1", but that role didn't really seem to suit him last year. Either way, he should get plenty of targets, and Buffalo's new offensive scheme should be much more receiver friendly. Matthews still figures to be better in PPR formats than in standard, but there's upside here for the "breakout" year many have been waiting for.

33. Jarvis Landry. Dolphins. Landry had 17 fewer receptions last season than in 2015, but that only led to 17 fewer yards. His receiving touchdowns stayed the same, which isn't really a positive considering he only had four, but the increased yards per catch is still a positive sign as DeVante Parker ascends and Kenny Stills remains a factor in the Dolphins offense. Landry will continue to be a better PPR option than standard-league play, but he can get the job done in both formats thanks to his relative consistency...assuming Jay Cutler wants to throw to him as much as Ryan Tannehill did. (Update: Landry faces a possible suspension because of a domestic abuse situation.)

34. Donte Moncrief, Colts. Moncrief seemed to be everyone's top sleeper pick last year, but hamstring and shoulder injuries limited him to just nine games. One positive is he caught seven TDs in those nine games, but he only managed 34.1 yards per contest. At this point, the injury thing is more than just a little worry, but Moncrief has talent and seems to be Andrew Luck's top option in the red zone (same number of red-zone catches on seven fewer targets than Hilton last year). Of course, Luck (shoulder) needs to be healthy for Moncrief to really pay off.

35. Brandon Marshall, Giants. At 33 and coming off a (very) down year, it's tough to say what Marshall has left in the tank. Just two seasons ago, he put up a 109-1,502-14 line and looked like one of the best receivers in the game, so it's unlikely he's "done." Now with the Giants, Marshall will clearly be the No. 2 option behind Odell Beckham Jr. -- maybe even be No. 3 behind Sterling Shepard. But he'll still be a presence in the red zone, and it wouldn't be shocking if he popped off for another season of being an every-week fantasy starter.

36. Corey Coleman, Browns. Coleman didn't exactly have a sterling offseason, narrowly avoiding assault charges and missing offseason training programs because of a hamstring injury. After sitting out six games last year because of a hand injury, there might be more red flags than positives. Still, Coleman's explosiveness can't be denied, and with Terrelle Pryor (and his 140 targets) in Washington and Gary Barnidge (and his 82 targets) on the free agent market, Coleman is the longest tenured of the Browns' receiving corps. Inconsistency could still be an issue, but a healthy Coleman should see a big improvement from Year 1.

37. Stefon Diggs, Vikings. Diggs had two pockets of stardom last year: Weeks 1-2 when he posted 16 catches, 285 yards and a TD, and Weeks 8-10 when he had 34 catches, 320 yards, and a TD. Diggs blames the slw times on the groin injury he suffered in Week 4, and while that undoubtedly didn't help, you'll notice one of his "good stretches" was after he came back from it. Diggs could just as well blame Sam Bradford and the Vikings' short, safe passing attack that limits his big-play potential. He's still a dangerous runner after the catch, so he could outperform this ranking, but he still has plenty to prove as an every-week performer.

38. Rishard Matthews, Titans. Despite posting 945 yards and nine TDs last year, Matthews is being underrated heading into 2017 after Tennessee added Eric Decker and No. 5 overall pick Corey Davis in the offseason. And while it stands to reason he could lose some targets, it would be silly to dismiss his '16 performance, too. Matthews clearly has a rapport with Marcus Mariota, and Decker (injury worries) and Davis (inexperience) are far from sure things. Don't let Matthews fall too far in your draft.

39. Eric Decker, Titans. Hip and shoulder injuries limited Decker to just three games last year, but he looked to be on his way to another good campaign with 194 yards and two TDs. Prior to last season, Decker had scored double-digit touchdowns and topped 1,000 yards in three of four years. Now 30, coming off a serious injury, and playing for a team that had the fifth-fewest passing attempts last year, Decker is far from a sure thing, but it's tough to count him out given his track record. We rank Matthews higher for now, but Decker could quickly become Marcus Mariota's favorite target.

40. Tyrell Williams, Chargers. Williams stepped up in the absence of Keenan Allen last year, catching 69 passes for 1,059 yards and seven TDs. The return of Allen coupled with the addition of first-round pick Mike Williams (assuming his back doesn't keep him out all year) will likely hurt Tyrell's output, but he's obviously gained at least some trust with Philip Rivers and shown big-play ability. His 6-4 frame makes him a tough cover in the end zone, too. For now we're taking a cautious approach with Williams' ranking, but he's a high-upside option.

41. Chris Hogan, Patriots. Julian Edelman's knee injury opens the door for Hogan to take on a bigger role in the Pats explosive offense. Consistency is unlikely given the way the Pats like to spread the ball around, but Hogan has showed in the past that he can put up numbers when given the targets.

42. Marvin Jones Jr., Lions. Jones' 2016 was was a tale of two halves. Through the first seven games, he scored between 7.3 and 32.5 fantasy points each time out. In the final nine, he failed to get into the end zone or top 7.6 fantasy points. It's easy to write off Jones heading into this season, but it seems unlikely the Lions don't have plans to involve him in their offense. Like Tate and Ebron -- perhaps more than both -- Jones will likely benefit from Anquan Boldin being gone, particularly in the red zone. Jones can go back to being the receiver we saw early last season.

43. Adam Thielen, Vikings. There's no use pretending that Thielen's final line of 69-967-5 wasn't heavily inflated by his 202-yard, two-TD performance in Week 16, and without that, there was really nothing special about his season. But that game did happen, and Thielen showed enough throughout the entire year to encourage fantasy owners. If Stefon Diggs is fully healthy, Thielen could lose targets, but it's just as likely Kyle Rudolph and his 132 looks from last season will take a step back. Thielen's size (6-2, 200 pounds) and hands are legit, so don't dismiss him as a one-game/one-year wonder.

44. Randall Cobb, Packers. It's easy to write off Cobb after the ascension of Davante Adams last year, but at 26, it's not as if he has nothing left in the tank. His numbers have decreased noticeably the past two seasons, but he still plays on a team that threw the fifth-most times last season and has arguably the league's best quarterback. For now, Cobb is outside our WR3 range, though he could quickly regain his lofty position.

45. Taylor Gabriel, Falcons. Gabriel was basically a non-factor for the first seven weeks of last season, but starting in Week 8, he scored in six of the next seven games. The speedy receiver only once had more than four catches in a game, so you could put the "boom-or-bust" label on him, but Gabriel obviously boomed more than busted once he became a key part of Atlanta's offense.

46. Pierre Garcon, 49ers. After catching 79 passes for 1,041 yards in Washington last year, Garcon moved across the country to a much more precarious situation. While he'll be the unquestioned No. 1 receiver for the rebuilding Niners, he won't have much around him. Brian Hoyer is at least capable under center, so there's hope Garcon can rack up cheap catches and yards. It's worth noting that new 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was offensive coordinator in Washington when Garcon caught 113 balls for 1,346 yards in 2013. Still, touchdowns and big games could be tough to come by in San Francisco, so for now, consider Garcon more valuable in PPR leagues.

47. Mike Wallace, Ravens. Wallace turned in his first 1,000-yard season since 2012 last year, though he scored just four touchdowns in the process. With Jeremy Maclin and Danny Woodhead in town, plus third-year deep threat Breshad Perriman healthier than ever, the 31-year-old Wallace will certainly have to fight for targets. Add in Joe Flacco's balky back, and the outlook isn't quite as rosy for Wallace this season.

48. Zay Jones, Bills. Jones set the career FBS receptions record while at ECU (399), topping it off with a ridiculous 158-catch senior season. Even with veteran Anquan Boldin now in tow, the 6-2, 201-pound rookie should start in Week 1 and be the No. 2 option behind the underwhelming Jordan Matthews. Jones should see a lot of targets, and as long as he's up for the challenge, he has a legit chance of being this year's top rookie receiver.

49. Sterling Shepard, Giants. Shepard's role is a bit uncertain heading into his sophomore season after New York signed Brandon Marshall and drafted expected red-zone threat Evan Engram. All we know is he's coming off a decent rookie season where he caught eight touchdowns but only had one game with more than 73 yards. Because Shepard was so TD dependant last season, it's tough to feel fully confident in him this year, but obviously he has big upside if he can take the next step forward.

50. Willie Snead, Saints. Despite posting three more catches and one more touchdown than in 2015, it's fair to say Snead disappointed a bit last year. He seems destined for a bigger role with Brandin Cooks gone, but he's still the likely No. 2 behind Michael Thomas. Snead has said he hopes to go downfield more, and even with Ted Ginn Jr. in town, that might happen, so Snead has plenty of potential in the Saints' high-powered offense. (Update: Snead has been suspended for the first three games of the season.)

51. Ted Ginn Jr., Saints. Ginn will likely have some monster weeks in the Saints' high-flying offense, but one problem remains: He's not great at catching the ball. Also, New Orleans actually threw deep less times last year than Carolina, both in terms of raw numbers and percentage of team's total plays. Like many guys on the WR3 border, Ginn is a boom-or-bust option who will likely be on and off the waiver wire all season.

52. Danny Amendola, Patriots. Amendola could be a PPR machine in Julian Edelman's absence, but there are a lot of mouths to feed on the Pats offense, plus Amendola has a checkered injury history of his own.

53. Allen Hurns, Jaguars. Hurns' stock has really fallen after an injury-plagued 2016, but he posted 1,031 yards and 10 TDs just one a year ago, so a return to that form isn't out of the question. In addition to No. 1 Allen Robinson, Hurns will have to battle with Marqise Lee and rookie Dede Westbrook for targets.

54. Torrey Smith, Eagles. With Jordan Matthews in Buffalo, Smith has a chance to resurrect his career as Philadelphia's No. 2. The 28-year-old speedster was a major disappointment in San Francisco, and he's guarantee to start over Nelson Algohor, but if he gets regular targets, there's definite potential here.

55. Tyler Lockett, Seahawks. Lockett's expected breakout didn't happen last year, and, as a result, might be getting undervalued heading into this season. While it's true virtually all his numbers dropped from his rookie campaign, he did average more yards per catch (14.6), which should serve as a reminder of his explosiveness. Overall, it's tough to invest too heavily in Lockett given how well Doug Baldwin and Jimmy Graham played last year (plus the expected uptick in targets for C.J. Prosise), but don't be surprised if he makes more big plays this year.

56. Tavon Austin, Rams. Austin saw a big drop in carries and rushing production last year (24 fewer carries 275 fewer yards, three fewer touchdowns). His receiving numbers actually saw a slight bump, but for the first time in his career, he didn't have a return touchdown to pad his stats. New coach Sean McVay figures to breathe some life in the Rams' stagnant offense, but it's unlikely Austin develops into a "true" receiver. Perhaps McVay, Washington's former offensive coordinator, can put Austin in a "Jamison Crowder role", but big plays -- and Jared Goff's quarterbacking -- will go a long way in determining Austin's overall value this season.

57. Kenny Stills, Dolphins. Stills' nine TDs from last season seem a little fluky, but he is certainly an established part of the Dolphins offense and a noted deep threat.

58. John Brown, Cardinals. Brown is over the ailment(s) that kept him out of the first three preseason games, and he returned with a bang while catching two TDs in the Cardinals' fourth exhibition contest. It's still unclear if Brown is ahead of Jaron Brown and J.J. Nelson on the depth chart, but he's more talented than both.

59. J.J. Nelson, Cardinals. Last year, John Brown was the Cardinals' receiver everyone wanted, but he flopped hard, scoring just two touchdowns. Brown is still a candidate to break out this year, but the even more diminutive Nelson also has plenty of appeal. He finished last season with a touchdown in four of the final five weeks and totaled 30 targets in the final three games. To be fair, he had exactly one catch twice during the span, so the "boom-or-bust" label applies here, too, but Arizona seemed to find something they like with the 5-10, 160-pound speedster.

60. Kenny Britt, Browns. Britt did well last year in a highly dysfunctional offensive system, so there's plenty of reason for optimism even with him in Cleveland. Still, he could function as the "No. 2" in the Browns' offense behind Corey Coleman, which could ultimate hurt his stock. Britt's injury history can't be ignored either.

61. Kenny Golladay, Lions. The big-framed rookie is making a name for himself this preseason, but he's still third on the depth chart behind Golden Tate and Marvin Jones. He's worth a flier, but don't expect immediate production.

62. Marqise Lee, Jaguars. Like Arizona's J.J. Nelson, Lee is being elevated because fantasy owners are casting aside a guy who was a total bust last year (Allen Hurns). It's usually a mistake to completely write off someone after one bad year, but "on to the next one" is generally how fantasy works. Lee had a decent 2016, catching 63 of 105 targets for 851 yards and three scores. Hurns' five missed games certainly helped Lee's numbers, but considering his various ailments, Hurns can't be counted on to stay healthy. The Jaguars threw the ball just over 39 times per game last year (fourth most), so there will be targets to get around even if the Jags receiving corps stays healthy.

70. Cooper Kupp, Rams. We don't buy Robert Woods as a No. 1 receiver, and Kupp was legit in college, posting at least 93 receptions, 1,431 yards, and 16 TDs in all four seasons. Even if you acknowledge those numbers are inflated by Eastern Washington's pass-happy offense and defensively challenged opponents, all you have to do is watch a little film to see Kupp looks the part (assuming EWU's red turf doesn't burn your retinas). At 6-2, 198 pounds, Kupp isn't your stereotypical "speedy white slot receiver," so if Jared Goff can get him the ball, Kupp can make plays.
