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?

4. Zay Jones, Buffalo Bills

Average Draft Position: 13.08 (WR59)

Projected Fantasy Points: 62.99 (WR77)

It's finally happened. The Buffalo Bills appear to have a dynamic duo at wide receiver in Sammy Watkins and promising second-round pick Zay Jones. But how will this translate to fantasy relevance for the rookie?

While our models project Watkins for 120 targets as the team's top option, we look for Jones to get 66 looks of his own. And with those opportunities, we foresee Jones producing a respectable 39 catches, 498 yards and 2.2 touchdowns in what should be a run-heavy Bills offense.

That's nowhere near the asking price of WR59, but his long-term outlook in dynasty formats is pretty intriguing.
