The 11-20 Fantasy Football Receivers
11. Demaryius Thomas had a down year by his standards but still had over 100 catches.
12. Mike Evans had 1,206 yards in his sophomore season but just 3 touchdowns. The touchdowns should go way up this season.
13. Alshon Jeffery had an impressive 807 catches in just nine games. He had four touchdowns and 54 catches also. Jeffery needs to stay on the field. Injuries are his only problem.
14. Brandin Cooks had an impressive second season with the Saints. Cooks had 84 catches, 1,138 yards and nine touchdowns after a bad start to the season.
15. Keenan Allen had 67 catches in just eight games before suffering a season ending kidney injury. Allen is a PPR beast.
16. Randall Cobb had a down year by his standards but that was without his partner Jordy Nelson. Nelson is back and the Packers offense will be at full strength.
17. Julian Edelman had 61 catches, 692 yards and 7 touchdowns in 10 games. Edelman missed the last six regular season games but came back for the playoffs.
18. Sammy Watkins developed great chemistry with Tyrod Taylor. Watkins missed 4 games but still had 1,047 yards and 9 touchdowns. Watkins had just 60 catches so that should improve.
19. Jarvis Landry had 111 catches and 1,159 yards in his second season. He had just 4 touchdowns however so you hope that improves.
20. Ty Hilton was another big name receiver who did not leave up to draft day hype. Andrew Luck was hurt for most of the season and Quarterback was a revolving door. Hilton had great yardage totals last year with 1,124 but you want to see his receptions and touchdowns improve from last year.
The 21-30 Fantasy Football Receivers
21. Jeremy Maclin had his second consecutive 1,000 yard 85+ catch season. He enters his second year with the Chiefs.
22. Eric Decker was a touchdown machine for the Jets last season. Decker had 12 touchdowns , 80 catches and 1027 yards last season.
23. Golden Tate had his second consecutive 90+ catch season. Tate will see increased targets with Calvin Johnson retiring.
24. Doug Baldwin was an absolute beast last season. Baldwin had 1069 yards , 14 touchdowns and 78 catches. Many are concerned over touchdown regression.
25. Donte Moncrief had a somewhat disappointing second season. He had 733 yards and 6 touchdowns. A full healthy season of Andrew Luck should give him a better year.
26. Larry Fitzgerald
27. Kelvin Benjamin
28. Emmanuel Sanders
29. Michael Floyd
30. John Brown
