The NFL's 10 Best Deep-Ball Wide Receivers in 2017

7. Robby Anderson, New York Jets

Deep Targets: 33 | Target NEP per Target: 0.91 | Success Rate: 48.48%

We now know that Robby Anderson has some pretty deep troubles off the field after his second arrest in less than a year. That's clearly going to play itself out over this offseason. On the field, he was a difference-maker for the New York Jets.

Anderson caught 16 of the 33 deep balls thrown his way, turning them into 503 yards and 7 touchdowns. Those seven touchdowns were tied with Tyreek Hill for the most in the league. Anderson had this success even though teams knew (or should have known) what was coming.

Anderson accounted for 41.3% of the Jets' deep targets this year. He had more than twice as many overall deep targets as Jermaine Kearse, who was second with 16. They didn't try to hide the fact that they were going to chuck it deep to Anderson; it just didn't matter much.

In his two years with the Jets, Anderson has blossomed into a true asset at wide receiver. This is despite catching most of his balls from Josh McCown and Bryce Petty. McCown is certainly no scrub, but if the Jets were to bring in someone like Kirk Cousins over the offseason, we could see Anderson take yet another step forward as a fantasy asset.
