Wide Receivers

Antonio Brown (Pittsburgh Steelers), Fantasy Points Last Season: 310.3

Antonio Brown has been the most consistent WR the past few seasons. Brown had his fifth straight year of snatching 100+ receptions and 1,000+ yards. With being a key cog in the Steelers offense, Brown should have no trouble making this year his sixth in a row. In PPR leagues, having a guy like Brown is huge because last year he had six games where he had 10+ catches.

DeAndre Hopkins (Houston Texans), Fantasy Points Last Season: 309.8

What makes DeAndre Hopkins‘ season last year even more impressive, is the fact that DeShaun Watson went down midway through the season and he didn’t miss a beat. This isn’t surprising though as Hopkins has had a group of terrible guys play QB for him his entire career in Houston. The big plus for Hopkins is he scores a bunch of touchdowns, leading all WRs with 13 last season.

Michael Thomas (New Orleans Saints), Fantasy Points Last Season: 258.5

This may sound crazy to some, but I believe Michael Thomas will outscore Julio Jones in fantasy this season. Thomas has been the Saints number one WR the last two years. When his QB is Drew Brees, it also gives you a boost of confidence to draft him. Thomas totaled 5+ receptions in every game but two last season. Saints offense will be scary good this season with Thomas being one of the key pieces again.
