Fantasy Football: Ranking Each NFL Team's Number-Two Receiver

Ranking 21-25: Seeking Out Upside

25) Ryan Grant - Indianapolis Colts

Ryan Grant looks like the number-two receiver behind T.Y. Hilton at the moment. While he faces competition for that role in the form of Chester Rogers and rookie Deon Cain, Grant was a productive receiver in Washington, where he posted 45 catches, 573 yards and 4 scores while playing fewer than 61 percent of snaps last year. Grant was set up for a big pay day in Baltimore but ended up signing a $5 million dollar, one-year deal after "health concerns" surfaced. Grant could be a solid complement to Hilton with a firm ceiling and decent floor.

24) D.J. Moore - Carolina Panthers

While D.J. Moore has the draft pedigree and production profile to factor in right away in the Carolina Panthers' offense, he figures to be fourth in line for targets behind Greg Olsen, Christian McCaffrey, and Devin Funchess coming into the year. While it is not unreasonable to think Moore could begin usurping Funchess as the primary wide receiver before the end of the campaign, Funchess will have first crack. Beyond that, the Panthers have a low volume passing attack, which could perhaps change with the departure of Mike Shula and arrival of Norv Turner. I love Moore the player but have concerns about the situation in Year 1.

23) Anthony Miller - Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears are flooded with available targets, making it a great spot for Anthony Miller. The rookie can capitalize on this in 2018 along with a career progression for second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. While Tarik Cohen and Trey Burton will vie for targets along with ace receiver Allen Robinson, Miller could get his fill in Chicago. Given the weak depth chart behind him, Miller could prove a valuable slot presence for the slot-friendly Trubisky.

22) Dede Westbrook - Jacksonville Jaguars

Dede Westbrook saw 7.3 targets per game once he was thrust into the lineup in the Jacksonville Jaguars' 10th contest of the year last season. By comparison, presumed lead wide receiver Marqise Lee received only 6.9 targets per game in 2017. Westbrook profiles as a target hog based on his college resume. Though the wide receiver depth chart is cluttered, I think there is a real chance we might not be properly identifying the number-one wide receiver in Jacksonville. The team moved on from Allen Robinson, and it's worth wondering if confidence in Westbrook had something to do with it.

21) Nelson Agholor - Philadelphia Eagles

After two disappointing seasons, Nelson Agholor popped in his third year along with a resurgent Philadelphia Eagles' offense. He registered 62 receptions, 768 yards and 8 touchdowns. Those gaudy touchdown numbers which figure to regress in 2018, but Agholor appears to be hitting stride in this offense and has a much higher ceiling than the rest of the players we have covered. If Carson Wentz and Nick Foles can continue to elevate this unit, Agholor will reap some rewards, but we should temper our expectations for his touchdown rate in 2018.
