Sixteen wide receivers last season posted 150 or more points in standard leagues and 24 tallied 200 or more points in point-per-reception (PPR) leagues.
That glut of upper-tier performers led the wide receiver position to tally its highest position point total (10,768) since at least 2001. Wideouts also accounted for 28.3 percent of all fantasy points, a level that was tied with the 2014 wide receiver corps for the highest mark in that category since at least 2001.
Even with this incredible point volume, there are still more than a few wide receivers who are overvalued or undervalued in fantasy football. This third in a four-part series reviewing overvalued and undervalued fantasy prospects looks to highlight the wide receivers being taken too early or too late. This group starts with an elite long-pass threat who may be only a small workload increase away from contending for WR1 status.
