1. Corey Davis, Tennessee Titans

Average Draft Position: 9.08 (WR42)

Projected Fantasy Points: 105.96 (WR45)

Out of Western Michigan, Corey Davis is the only rookie wideout to receive a FireFactor of more than zero. There's a bunch of reasons why, too.

For starters, in back-to-back-to-back seasons at WMU, Davis posted at least 78 catches, 1,408 yards and 12 touchdowns. His senior was the best of his four collegiate campaigns as he caught 97 balls for 1,500 yards and 19 scores. In the end, Davis was rewarded with All-American honors and voted the MAC's Offensive Player of the Year in 2016.

That's great and all, but it's Davis' skills and situation that have him poised for a valuable fantasy season. As one of Marcus Mariota's starting wideouts in all likelihood -- alongside Decker and company -- our algorithms like Davis to be fantasy's premier rookie receiver, pegging him for 54 catches, 807 yards and 4.2 touchdowns in 2017.
