Robert Woods (30.4) Weight 215. In the three games that Palmer got on the field for 60% or more of the snaps as a rookie, he posted games of 5-66-1 (seven targets), 5-43-1 (six targets), and 4-45-1 (nine targets).

I discussed all of them pre-draft here and here. more than doubled his rookie season production in 2021, catching 88-of-129 targets for 1,082 yards and six touchdowns. DeVante Parker (29.6) Will Fuller (28.4) Allen Lazard (26.7) Shenault was mismanaged this season immediately following the injury to D.J. Just 47.4% of his targets were deemed catchable in his small sample of 2021 after 63.0% in 2020 (113th among wideouts with 25 or more targets) and 65.8% in 2019 (81st). increased his output and production up to a 50-802-6 line in his second season as the Rams were pressed to get him on the field more than initially planned with the release of DeSean Jackson and injury to Robert Woods. 32.6% of his PPR points came via touchdown production alone, the highest rate in his career and just the second time he has been over 20%. He averaged six PPR fantasy points per game last season. A solid contributor, Boyds fantasy ceiling is now tied to either Chase or Higgins missing time.

Peoples-Jones has now averaged a robust 18.8 yards per catch on an average depth of target of 16.7 yards downfield. Anthony Schwartz (21.9) Quarterback play has been a thorn for Chark. Toney was only able to appear in 10 games due to various injuries and managed more than 40 yards in just two games, but in the small sample of him receiving playing time while healthy, he jumped off the screen at his best. Jalen Tolbert lands on a Dallas roster that lost 25.4% of the team receptions, 29.6% of the receiving yards, and 35% of the receiving touchdowns in 2021 from Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson exiting.

Only James Washington was added in free agency. After Brandin Cooks and I guess Randall Cobb, the Texans have little at the receiver position, so Collins should enter the 2021 preseason as the frontrunner for the No. 3 wide receiver job, and that role could have under-appreciated value given that the Texans don't have a proven tight end and Cooks and Cobbs are perpetual injury concerns. After opening the 2020 season with 90 or more yards in seven of his first eight games, Metcalf has hit that arbitrary mark in just four of 25 games since. There will surely be a lot of conversation around DeAndre Hopkins this offseason and what to do with him. Terry McLaurin (27.0) While Aiyuk got back to showcasing a solid floor, we still have to question if he is limited short term by being the third-best pass catcher on a low-volume passing game that can spike when either Deebo Samuel or George Kittle miss time. Finishing the season as the RB5, Conner ended the year with 18 total TDs and averaged 14.7 fantasy PPG. Hopkins missed seven games in 2021 and while on the field, he averaged 4.2 receptions and 57.2 yards per game, by far his lowest totals per game since 2016.

This next tier is older than the previous tier but has also given us a larger sample of production to latch onto. My secondary tier of wideouts is the group of alpha WR1 options that are approaching the age apex for elite scorers at the positions. Brandin Cooks was one of the best values last offseason and he delivered, catching 90-of-134 targets for 1,037 yards and six touchdowns. Donovan Peoples-Jones (23.5) Before Tyreek Hill was the Cheetah, he was a fifth-round pick in the NFL Draft and .

No wide receiver has had a season like the one. Allen turns 30 this April, but he has a play style that will keep him viable with attachment to Justin Herbert for the final stretch of his apex. took a step back in 2021, seeing his yards per catch and target, catch rate, receptions, yardage, and touchdowns all drop from his rookie season. 2022 AFC South Standings. Waddle turned those receptions into a modest 1,015 yards (9.8 yards per catch) with an average depth of target of 7.0 yards, managing just 12 targets all season 20 or further yards downfield.

The days of Thomas being someone who pushes for the WR1 overall may have passed, but do I believe he can be a Keenan Allen-type for fantasy and is undervalued. Will Fuller also had a lost season in 2021, playing just 65 snaps due to a finger injury that was still an issue earlier this month. Hilton still remains a free agent.

Tyler Lockett (29.9) George Pickens was the 11th wide receiver selected in the draft, but he falls into the most successful franchise in grooming receiving prospects.

Josh Palmer is a hot name in early offseason drafts with his potential to be a big winner should the Chargers not retain Mike Williams. After posting 7.9 catches for 95.9 yards per game in his first season in Buffalo, Diggs made averaging 6.1 receptions for 72.1 yards per game feel somewhat disappointing to gamers despite still ranking 10th and 12th at his position in those categories.

Lazard has never caught more than 3.3 passes per game in his career. Godwin will get another season with Tom Brady, but will also be coming off an ACL injury that ended his season in mid-December, pushing his recovery up against the start of the 2022 season.
