Fantasy Football: The Top 10 Rookie Wide Receivers for 2017
Corey Davis was the first wideout taken in this year's NFL Draft, but should he be the first rookie receiver off the board in your fantasy football draft?

3. Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions

Average Draft Position: Un-drafted

Projected Fantasy Points: 66.44 (WR74)

Kenny Golladay finds himself among the undrafted, but unlike those before him, he's set to be a top three rookie wideout in 2017, according to our models. Be sure not to take that the wrong way, though -- our projections have the Northern Illinois graduate ranked outside the draftable area in 12-team leagues.

With projections of 63 targets, 37 receptions, 492 yards and 2.9 touchdowns, we're still cautious about Golladay's first-year production from a fantasy perspective. Still, the upside is there. Marvin Jones and Golden Tate figure to see the majority of Matthew Stafford's targets, but there's room for a third wideout to step up, especially when you consider Jones' usage as a down-the-field target.

Whether you select Golladay with the last pick in your draft or just put him on your watch list, keep tabs on him. He's one of the better rookie options this season.
