Three Wide Receivers that could make or break your Draft.
What makes one Fantasy team more successful than another? I can tell you that it isn’t decided by the Players you picked in the first three Rounds. Excluding injury, Players picked in the first three Rounds will definitely perform. The real difference between a good, or bad team is determined by your mid Round picks. In a 12 Team league the Players picked between the fifth and tenth Rounds will ultimately determine how strong your Team will be. In this Post I will discuss three Wide Receivers that should be drafted in the middle Rounds that could be the difference for your Team.
Donte Moncrief
In my opinion all it would take for Moncrief to have a breakout Season is for things to go right in Indianapolis for once. Moncrief has yet to start a full Season with Luck at the helm. When they have shared the field together it’s been Fantasy gold. All appears to be right in Indianapolis at this time. Andrew Luck appears to be in good shape,. Donte Moncrief also appears to be in great shape as well. Considering the Indianapolis Colts pass heavy attack. The fact that T. Y. Hilton will draw the Defence towards his side of the field. Donte Moncrief might finally find himself in that sweet spot he was drafted for. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if he finishes the Season with double digit touchdowns. In fact I expect it. This is the year for the Luck-Moncrief-Colts perfect storm to happen.
Martavis Bryant
Every time I see Martavis Bryant’s name I get a little upset. The reason I get upset is because I’ve had Antonio Brown as one of my Keepers in my most competitive league. 2014 was the worst. You wouldn’t even notice he was on the field during most Pittsburgh drives. Then they would get within striking distance of the end zone. A seven play drive would include three passes to Antonio Brown for a total of 39 yards. That’s 6.9 points in my league. Martavis Bryant’s stat line during that same drive. One catch for 18 yards, and a touchdown. That’s 8.8 points in my league. I wanted to strangle the guy. It seemed like he was using a jar of stickum as well. He just never seemed to drop a ball. Especially in the end zone. That’s why with Ben Roethlisberger back at the helm, and entering this Season healthy. I believe that passing on Martavis Bryant is a mistake. People will argue that Pittsburgh has too many mouths to feed. I wouldn’t worry about that. Bryant doesn’t worry about getting lots of looks in a game. The only time Roethlisberger looks his way is in the Red zone. That’s good enough for him, so it’s good enough for me as well.
Jamison Crowder
Jamison Crowder enters the all important third year with the Washington Redskins as their most veteran Receiver. That’s right, Pierre Garcon, and DeSean Jackson left to sign with new Teams in the off season. He will be competing for targets with Wide Receivers Josh Doctson, and Terrelle Pryor. Doctson has only played two games in the NFL due to injury, and Pryor showed big play capability in Cleveland last year. Kirk Cousins two most familiar targets to start the Season will be Jamison Crowder, and Jordan Reed. Due to their comfort level, and familiarity with the offence. I would expect Crowder to get the Lion’s share of the short to intermediate route passes the first few games. If he can build off the success he had last year in those first few games. I would expect Cousins to treat him as his go-to option for the majority of the Season. Over 2000 yards, and 7 touchdowns has left the stadium in Washington. Somebody has to pick up the slack. Obviously it won’t all go to Terrelle Pryor. Sounds like the perfect situation for Jamison Crowder to break 1000 yards receiving with double digit touchdowns.
If you think I’m wrong, or living on cloud nine. Let me know in the comments. If you are interested in winning your league this year?
