We had good participation in the RB thread so I thought I would give the WRs a shot. (ADP per FF calculator and FFPC, PPR 12 team leagues)
1. Larry Fitzgerald ADP WR#15 3.09 Overall
Larry Legend was the #4 PPR WR last year and now he has dropped to #15 because no more Arians-Palmer??? Larry showed no signs of slowing down and IMHO has a better QB situation. With very little competition for targets, Larry is locked in for another top 10 year and screams value. Don’t overthink this one.
2. Pierre Garcon – ADP WR#31 and 6.12 Overall
Garcon was on pace for 80 receptions and 1000 yards last year before succumbing to injury. I don’t like him as much in standard leagues because TDs may be low as witnessed by his 2017 season, but you can do a lot worse at WR31 in PPR drafts given Garcon’s status in Shanahan’s Garropolo offense.
3. Robby Anderson – ADP WR#43 9.03 Overall
Anderson finished #19 in PPR formats last year and that was with a new coach and offense.. Anderson has a bit more competition with Pryor and Enunwa returning but both Prior and Enunwa are coming back from injury and don’t have established roles or rapport with McCown like Anderson does. Last year wasn’t an outlier either as Anderson flashed his rookie year and had one of the best rookie years in 2016…way under the radar. I’ll be surprised if Anderson doesn’t provide value this year yet again.
4. Devin Funchess – ADP WR#35 7.12 Overall
Funchess finished 22nd last year and that was with Kelvin Benjamin plodding alongside him. Now Funchess is the man and the coaching staff believes he’s just “scratching the surface” of his capability….Funchess will be on most of my teams.
5. Martavis Bryant – ADP WR#53 12.01 Overall
Martavis is the best WR on the Raiders period. Clearly there is some off the field risk that goes with the on-field reward, but Martavis is one of the few WRs going after the 10th round that can deliver WR2 value. Martavis is a good gamble in the 11th round.
6. Kenny Stills – ADP WR#50 11.04 Overall
Quietly put up a very solid season and actually has consistently scored TDs despite Miami’s consistent struggles. Stills finished 29th in WR scoring last year and nothing has changed. With excellent big play ability as demonstrated by his career 16.1 YPC, Stills is a very solid play in the 12th round.
7. Christian Kirk – ADP WR#62 13.12 Overall
Kirk was running with the first team in OTAs and say what you want about Sam Bradford, when healthy he can chuck the ball. Kirk was a heck of a playmaker in college and has a good chance at surprising with a nice opportunity and talent combo.
8. Geronimo Allison – ADP WR#59 13.06 Overall
Allison is #3 on the depth chart but Cobb, the current #2, is in a walking boot and doesn’t have near the big play ability of Allison which Allison demonstrated last year. Allison boasts a career YPC over 18. It always seems to take Rodgers a year or two to gain trust in his WRs and this is year 3 for Allison in Green Bay. Allison is on almost all of my deep rosters.
9. Ryan Grant – ADP W R#82 24.02 Overall
For really deep leagues you can do a lot worse than Andrew Luck’s potential #2 WR. Grant quietly had 45 receptions last year for the Redskins and is IMHO the 2nd best WR on the roster and should win the starting gig. One of my favorite deep sleepers in large roster formats, particularly if Luck comes back to Pro Bowl form.
10. Terrelle Pryor – ADP WR#87 25.09 Overall
Another deep sleeper, but one where even casual fans know the name. A trendy middle round upside pick last year after a thousand yard season with Cleveland, Pryor blames injury for his struggles in Washington and those injuries were eventually confirmed and ended his season. If Pryor can have a big year in Cleveland he can have a big year wit the Jets. Who knows if the targets will be there, but at this ultra cheap price you would be hard pressed to find as much previously demonstrated upside at WR.
