26.) Michael Crabtree, Oakland Raiders
Age: 30
2016 PPG: 12.2 (12th)
HC/OC: Jack Del Rio/ Todd Downing
QB: Derek Carr
Remember how I mentioned Amari Cooper doesn't score touchdowns? Enter Michael Crabtree. He doesn't get the yards that Cooper does but in two seasons with Oakland he has scored 17 touchdowns. He technically could be cut by the Raiders next year for no dead cap but if he keeps producing like this they will absolutely keep him around until the end of his contract in 2020.
27.) Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings
Age: 27
2016 PPG: 10 (48th)
HC/OC: Mike Zimmer/ Pat Shurmur
QB: Sam Bradford
This past season I wrote essentially a love letter to Sam Bradford despite initially hating him. I realized I couldn't be high on the Vikings offense without being high on Bradford. Diggs is a major part of the reason I'm high on their offense but Thielen is definitely the other. I'm hooked on a Thielen as many of my twitter followers know. He had a great finish to the season last year and has picked right up where he left off. Not bad for an undrafted guy huh?
28.) Golden Tate, Detroit Lions
Age:29
2016 PPG: 11.1 (30th)
HC/OC: Jim Caldwell/Jim Bob Cooter
QB: Matthew Stafford
It seems weird with how much Matthew Stafford slings the ball that it took me until my 28th receiver to name his top guy. Don't get me wrong, Tate is very consistent but he's just not all that exciting. Maybe that's the secret to his success. He generally has a safe floor and is someone I'd look to pair with a more risky "upside" play to balance things out.
29.) Kelvin Benjamin, Carolina Panthers
Age:26
2016 PPG: 10.4 (42nd)
HC/OC: Ron Rivera/ Mike Shula
QB: Cam Newton
I know some of you hate Benjamin because "he's fat". Cam Newton's start to the year certainly hasn't helped Benjamin's case at all. However, if you read this piece I wrote back in the off-season you'd know Benjamin is much better than what people think of him.
30.) Corey Coleman, Cleveland Browns
Age: 23
2016 PPG: 7.7 (83rd) (10 games)
HC/OC: Hue Jackson/ Gregg Williams
QB: Deshone Kizer
You think maybe the Browns should just sit Corey Coleman against the Ravens? That's two years in a row that he's broken his hand playing them. It really sucks because he was demonstrating great chemistry with Kizer before going down.
31.) Willie Snead, New Orleans Saints
Age:24
2016 PPG: 10.4 (41st)
HC/OC: Sean Payton/Pete Carmichael
QB: Drew Brees
You know who was all over Willie Snead before his suspension? This guy. There's still a lot to like about Snead but suspension risks always make me a little more hesitant.
32.) Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers
Age: 27
2016 PPG: 9.1 (60th)
HC/OC: Mike McCarthy/Edgar Bennett
QB: Aaron Rodgers
Cobb looked great in the playoffs last season. I took a bet on him in at least one league and so far it's paid off handsomely. He looks like he's back to being the guy he was before he forced himself to be the main guy for the Packers.
33.) Jordan Matthews, Buffalo Bills
Age: 25
2016 PPG: 9.6 (53rd)
HC/OC: Sean McDermott/ Rick Dennison
QB: Tyrod Taylor
Buffalo may not have been the best spot for Matthews to end up. That offense as a whole is struggling this year. However, it's hard to argue with the results that Matthews has gotten the last three years. Additionally, he is a free agent at the end of the season.
34.) Jamison Crowder, Washington Redskins
Age:24
2016 PPG: 10.2 (44th)
HC/OC: Jay Gruden/Matt Cavanaugh
QB: Kirk Cousins
If you read my Redskins BDTT you'd know that I think Crowder is well on his way to becoming a PPR goldmine. He's yet to really go off this year, but he's getting the target volume to be relevant sooner rather than later. He's doing more than some of his teammates.
35.) Sterling Shepard, New York Giants
Age:24
2016 PPG: 9.5 (55th)
HC/OC: Ben McAdoo/Mike Sullivan
QB: Eli Manning
I've been saying since the off-season that Shepard could still be relevant even with Brandon Marshall and Evan Engram in town. The Giants offense has looked like garbage for most of the season, but Shepard has seen seven targets in two of three games. That bodes very well for continued success on his part.
36.) Mike Williams, Los Angeles Chargers
Age: 22
2016 PPG: N/A
HC/OC: Anthony Lynn/Ken Whisenhunt
QB: Phillip Rivers
Back issues can be a major issue for any athlete. That said, I still believe in Mike Williams talent. Very excited to see him get on the field soon. Just hoping he doesn't turn into the next Breshard Perriman, Kevin White, etc (still a little too early to call in my opinion).
37.) Martavis Bryant,
Age:25
2016 PPG: (NA)(Suspended)
HC/OC: Mike Tomlin/Todd Haley
QB: Ben Roethlisberger
Remember how I don't like suspension risks? Martavis Bryant says hello. Additionally, despite all the off-season hype he hasn't managed to do a whole lot since returning from his suspension. I expect fantasy twitter to rage about this ranking.
38.) Donte Moncrief, Indianapolis Colts
Age:24
2016 PPG: 9.7 (51st)
HC/OC: Chuck Pagano/Rob Chudzinski
QB: Andrew Luck/Jacoby Brissett
I've never been a big fan of Moncrief. He's only ranked this high because the amount of touchdowns he scores props up his value. He looks completely lost without Luck out there this year.
39.) Terrelle Pryor, Washington Redskins
Age:28
2016 PPG: 10.9 (30th)
HC/OC: Jay Gruden/Matt Cavanaugh
QB: Kirk Cousins
If you read that same article I linked under Crowder, you'd know that I thought Pryor is incredibly volume dependent. You'd also know that the Redskins haven't targeted a single receiver more than 114 times in the Jay Gruden era. It doesn't add up to a lot of hope for Pryor who is off to a not great start for his expectations. However, he is coming off a thousand yard season so that's something.
40.) John Ross,Cincinnati Bengals
Age:21
2016 PPG: N/A
HC/OC: Marvin Lewis/ Bill Lazor
QB: Andy Dalton
Maybe I'm more forgiving of injuries to rookies than most. John Ross's early returns haven't been encouraging, but they haven't been for pretty much any of this year's rookie class. Add in the fact that the Bengals looked terrible until their most recent game and I'm still intrigued.
41.) Zay Jones, Buffalo Bills
Age:22
2016 PPG: N/A
HC/OC: Sean McDermott/ Rick Dennison
QB: Tyrod Taylor
Another rookie I'm willing to be more forgiving on than most. Many assumed with Sammy out of town Watkins would instantly step into a role. The Bills offense hasn't been that great in general minus Charles Clay. Next year they should have another QB in place, and Matthews could be gone.
42.) Tyrell Williams, Los Angeles Chargers
Age: 25
2016 PPG: 11.4 (26th)
HC/OC: Anthony Lynn/Ken Whisenhunt
QB: Phillip Rivers
Man did Tyrell step up big last year when everyone was hurt or what? I'd have him ranked higher, but the lack of volume to begin this season is concerning especially since Mike Williams isn't even back yet. In positive news, he's a free agent after this season and could go somewhere a little less crowded.
43.) Cameron Meredith, Chicago Bears
Age: 25
2016 PPG:10.5 (34th)
HC/OC: Doug Marrone / Nathaniel Hackett
QB: Mike Glennon
Meredith being lost for the season was one of the biggest bummers of the off-season. I always love watching un-drafted guys not only work their way onto the team but become stars. He's a free agent next year so he could find himself on a new team as well-or become the top guy for Mitchell Trubisky.
44.) Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions
Age:24
2016 PPG: N/A
HC/OC: Jim Caldwell/Jim Bob Cooter
QB: Matthew Stafford
As boring as Tate is that's how exciting Golladay is. The "Babytron" name hasn't quite been earned yet, but he certainly has shown flashes of huge upside. Only thing in his way is that both Tate and Marvin Jones are likely sticking around at least through the 2018 season.
45.) Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
Age:34
2016 PPG: 11.9 (19th)
HC/OC: Bruce Arians/Harold Goodwin
QB: Carson Palmer
Larry Fitzgerald is a great piece for a win now team. The question is-is this his last year? Even if he continues to play-would it be without Carson Palmer? Too many question marks surrounding him to rank him much higher than this.
46.) Jeremy Maclin, Baltimore Ravens
Age: 29
2016 PPG: 7.3 (65th)
HC/OC: John Harbaugh/Marty Mornhinweg
QB: Joe Flacco
Maclin was incredibly consistent until last season. His release by the Chiefs was pretty shocking but has seemed to work out for well them. Still-Maclin has managed to save his season so far with two tds despite the Ravens offense not clicking at all. I'd be willing to take the risk on him if he was going at this price.
47.) Will Fuller, Houston Texans
Age: 23
2016 PPG: 7.5 (83rd)
HC/OC: Bill O'Brien
QB: Deshaun Watson
Remember this guy? It seems like some people have forgotten about him just because he broke his collarbone. He showed some flashes in his rookie season and now gets to play with a competent quarterback. Color me intrigued.
48.) Josh Doctson, Washington Redskins
Age: 24
2016 PPG: N/A (only played two games)
HC/OC: Jay Gruden/Matt Cavanaugh
QB: Kirk Cousins
This ranking is as much myself admitting I don't know who will become the top guy for Kirk Cousins (presumably) as it is an endorsement of Doctson. Still, we haven't quite seen enough of him to say he isn't as good as people thought coming out of college. However, just like Mike Williams there are concerns about injuries here.
49.) Pierre Garcon, San Francisco 49ers
Age: 31
2016 PPG: 10.2 (45th)
HC/OC: Kyle Shanahan/Robert Saleh
QB: Brian Hoyer
Garcon is fresh of a thousand yard season. The touchdowns were a little low but he was still plenty productive in 2016. He's picked up where he left off this season and is now part of Kyle Shanahan's system.
50.) DeSean Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Age: 30
2016 PPG: 10.2 (48th)
HC/OC: Dirk Koetter/Todd Monken
QB: Jameis Winston
Just when you thought DeSean Jackson may be reaching the end of his rope he gets paired up with Jameis Winston. He's on the books at least for the next two years before he can be cut with no dead cap. He and Winston should make beautiful music together during that time period.
