Wide Receiver – Tier Three
Dan
Chris Godwin – Similar feelings here as Mike Evans but the hypetrain has his ADP skyrocketing so be prepared for that.
Brandon Cooks – Three wide receivers on the same team in the same tier…yup that’s right. They’re all good but Woods has rushing upside, Kupp is the PPR consistency guy, and Cooks has the highest ceiling week to week (but lowest floor).
Alshon Jeffrey
Joe
Brandin Cooks – contrary to popular belief, Cooks has his most consistent year of his career last season and could see an uptick in volume if they lean less on the run game while monitoring Gurley’s knee.
Tyler Lockett – Developed exceptional rapport and TD upside with Wilson last year and now the clear-cut WR1 in Seattle with Baldwin retired.
Chris Godwin
Thunder Dan
Antonio Brown – Call me crazy (no he’s crazy) but I really do think it’s going to be a down year for AB by his standards. Without even taking into consideration the crazy off-field antics, he’s going to a much worse offense and is coming off one of his worst seasons.
Robert Woods – I prefer Woods to Cooks based on his role as a possession receiver, but both of them are pretty solid values anywhere in rounds 4-5.
Tyler Boyd – Boyd should be a target monster with A.J. Green out and had a really solid year last year.
Cooper Kupp – Big bounce-back year coming for Kupp, who missed much of last season with an injury. He is a great red-zone target and has good chemistry with Goff.
Allen Robinson – I’m really high on A-Rob. He’s a stud and a great red zone target. Should have a better year this year as he and Trubisky get more chemist
Adam
Julian Edelman – If he plays 14-16 games, I’ll look dumb for not having him higher. I have my doubts that scenario happens.
Brandin Cooks – I have him just a slight notch below Woods, but it’s very close and he’s more consistent than you think. Three straight seasons of 1,000+ yards with three different teams and quarterbacks is very impressive.
Amari Cooper – If this man ever finds some consistency, he’ll be fighting for a top eight spot. The disappearing acts just kill you week to week and now we have news of ligament damage. He is barely hanging onto Tier Three.
Kenny Golladay – The hype train pulled out of the station a long time ago, but I’m of the belief that Marvin Jones is going to produce close enough on a points per game basis that would prefer him over Golladay at cost.
Tyler Lockett – Coming off one of the more oddball seasons we can remember, I’m not sure what to do with Lockett. Volume should go up, but 10 touchdowns repeating seems like a stretch.
Larry Fitzgerald – I’m likely the highest you’ll find on him, but give me the old GOAT for one more ride in a warp speed offense. I’m not sure the crowning of Christian Kirk is the play here.
