Which of the second-year receivers will be the most productive in 2015?!Michael Fabiano NFL Media Senior AnalystGetting more with MikeIt's way too easy to go with , Jr. here, right? As a result, I'm going with . He has all the tools to become an elite fantasy wideout for years to come, so clearly I'm not of the belief that his rookie campaign was a fluke. Evans, who has worked out with Randy Mo s this offseason, will also see an upgrade at quarterback with . A big red-zone target who should improve on his rookie reception and yardage totals, Evans could push for mid-WR1 value in 2015. I can see him recording 80 catches, 1,400 yards and 10-plus scores. !Alex Gelhar NFL Media Writer/EditorSunshine State sensationsCan I say all of them? No? That's cheating? Fine. Well, rather than throw out the obvious names who had ma sive seasons in 2014 (OBJ, , Kelving Benjamin, etc.), I'll highlight two under-the-radar players from the heralded Cla s of '14 who I think could have top-25 seasons Evan Turner Jersey in 2015: and . While there seems to be a pa s-catcher overload in Miami with the arrivals of , , and , Landry's role should remain the same from a season ago at the very least, but it will probably expand. He's Tannehill's move-the-chains safety blanket, and could post a -esque stat line of 90/1,000/6. He's a great value pick later in drafts. As for Robinson, I'm sure Matt Harmon will wax philosophic about him in this space, but suffice to say the guy will emerge as ' No. 1 target and should be in the market for 120-plus pa sing targets in 2015. He could easily post WR2 numbers and can be had late in most drafts. !Marcas Grant NFL Media EditorFly Eagle, Treveon Graham Jersey FlySure, it's easy to look at what , Jr. did last season and presume that he's going to be the runaway winner in this discu sion. While I do believe OBJ will be pretty great this year, I have a sneaking suspicion that he's going to leave more than a few fantasy managers disappointed by not posting video game numbers again. But you know who's not going to disappoint? . There's something pretty rewarding about being the lead wideout in a Chip Kelly offense. Just ask and . The upside is that Matthews has better measurables than both of those former Eagle wideouts. On top of that, the Vanderbilt product finished fourth among rookie wideouts in fantasy production and would seem to have a higher ceiling based on skill and scheme. The idea that Matthews could approach 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns isn't a ridiculous notion and considering what you'd have to give up to acquire him in drafts -- versus a second for OBJ -- there's a value that would make his production all the more impre sive. !Matt Franciscovich NFL Media A sociate EditorBetter the second time around"Love is lovelier, the Charlie Brown Jr. Jersey second time around" - Frank Sinatra Yep, I . So now that I've got you hooked... For me (and everyone else), Jr. leads the pack, which is evident following a casual gander at our player rankings for the season. Beyond the obvious, my personal rankings have , and in a league of their own. Both Evans and Benjamin are the No. 1 weapons on their respective teams and are listed as 6-foot-5, a huge advantage in the red zone and something that separates them from the rest of the group. While Matthews excelled last year as the No. 2 option in Philadelphia, 's departure leaves the door wide open for the Vanderbilt product to emerge with over 1,000 yards and double-digit scores for the in his second year. Now if you're going to twist my arm and make me name a sleeper, I'm going with (not Vince Carter Jersey ) of the . The hype train is already and he's not being selected until . You really can't go wrong with any of these guys, it's just a matter of whom you fall in love with (thanks, Frank) on draft day. !Matt Harmon NFL Media A sociate EditorLooking beyond BeckhamIf we are talking the most productive, it's nearly impo sible to say anyone but Jr. I'm not sure we've seen any one player come in and completely dominate the way Beckham did as a rookie. At least, I cannot think of another similar example from my (short) lifetime. The idea that he built his entire reputation off "the catch" is a fallacy. Beckham displayed flawle s route running and physicality in traffic with more than a dash of breath-taking athleticism on his way to a historic finish. He's already in the conversation for the best wide receiver in the NFL, so naturally this debate must start, and likely end, with him. However, I'm not the type to just take the obvious answer and attempt a mic drop. There are several other sophomore names who could produce at a surprisingly high rate. As anyone who Moses Malone Jersey follows me or my work with Reception Perception knows, I'm expecting big things from . The former Penn State star was on a 130-target pace, despite barely playing in the first two weeks, before an injury knocked him out after ten games. On volume alone, Robinson can easily post WR2 numbers in fantasy, and it sure does not hurt that he is an excellent player. Another receiver who played well last year, and is going to see plenty of targets, is of the . The second-year pa s catcher from Vanderbilt plays the highly efficient big slot receiver role in Chip Kelly's fast paced offense. I'm excited about 's future in Philly as a down-the-line upgrade on , but Matthews is the established player locked into his role. Don't rule out the idea that he could catch 100 pa ses this season. |
