Meanwhile small school Kenny Golladay is getting lost by a majority of fantasy football enthusiasts. Golladay is the better athlete, on a more productive offense, with the talent to become a WR2 and more for your fantasy squad.

There’s no denying the Steelers have talent, and boy do they have talent. From a dynasty perspective though, they scare the living you-know-what out of me.

Martavis Bryant wields 115.1 (94th percentile) Speed Score in the 94th percentile and a 128.3 (83rd percentile) Burst Score making him one of the most impressive size-adjusted athletes in the National Football League.

Behind Marshawn Lynch a second-year fantasy football sleeper hides in plain sight. Don’t let yourself fall victim to another hype train that could easily derail. Draft DeAndre Washington. Steal the Skittles. Taste the rainbow.

DeAndre Washington averaged greater-than 5.6 yards per carry in situations with seven or more defenders in the box. That accounted for over 62-percent of all of Washington’s rushing attempts.

Carlos Henderson possesses uncommon speed and burst to explode upfield after securing passes over the middle of the field. Henderson has the tools to be the effective slot receiver the Denver Broncos need to avoid negative plays and extend drives.

Interestingly, many of the NFL’s top yards after the catch receivers, from Golden Tate to Jarvis Landry, also posted below average Agility Scores at the NFL Scouting Combine.

This is a great year for finding value in the later rounds of your fantasy football dynasty drafts. Taywan Taylor checks the right boxes to be a perfect late round selection, particularly his exceptional agility that compares closely to elite NFL wide receivers.

Just as Doug Baldwin’s developed immeasurable rapport with a young, mobile Russell Wilson, Taylor is poised to become a trusted possession receiver-plus for Marcus Mariota. As Mariota matures, Taylor should get more looks as a key member of the Titans’ highly efficient offense.

Since the release of Jeremy Maclin, Tyreek Hill’s value has exploded after he flashed a successful rookie season and Andy Reid has declared Tyreek Hill will be the Chiefs’ No. 1 wide receiver heading into 2017.

This is the Peter Principle in action in the NFL. Kansas City is pushing Tyreek Hill out of his depth and setting him up to fail spectacularly. Hill is a low floor, low ceiling player primed for sophomore slump.

The hype surrounding Detroit’s rookie wide receiver Kenny Golladay is growing to be a very real thing, and at a rapid pace. Word out of OTA’s already has Golladay looking like the third receiver in the Lions receiving corps, which is good news for Anquan Boldin enthusiasts looking for a replacement level player in Detroit’s offense.

Standing at 6-foot-4, Kenny Golladay holds a significant three inch height advantage over Matthew Stafford’s favorite red zone target, while also boasting an athletic profile that any quarterback would want in his wide receiver.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected PlayerProfiler favorite Chris Godwin with the No. 84 overall pick in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Selecting of Godwin was a classic tale of marauders heisting gold and getting richer by the second.

The only perceived threat to Godwin’s workload appears to be Adam Humphries, who looks to be overcome by Chris Godwin’s superior athleticism quickly and will likely be relegated to fringe fantasy WR status barring injuries to his fellow wide receivers.

Last year ended poorly for Carson Wentz and the Eagles. However, with Wentz’s development and a vastly improved receiving corps, the Eagles will succeed on offense in 2017.

Torrey Smith was productive during his time in Baltimore with the competent (but not elite) Joe Flacco. Smith’s days a fantasy-relevant asset in Baltimore seem lost in the sands of time, but even in 2015, Smith was very efficient with his limited targets in San Francisco.

The Tennessee Titans selected wide receiver Taywan Taylor looks like the steal of the NFL Draft based on his advanced stats and metrics profile.

The Titans will look to phase out the receivers who failed to produce last season, and instead should begin an early insertion of Taywan Taylor in the passing game to put their passing game over the top, both literally and figuratively.
