Best Pick: Michael Crabtree
Wide receivers went early and often in the first three rounds. Of the first 36 picks, 21 of them were wide receivers. Michael Crabtree was drafted near the end of the third round and presents some good value at that spot. Our draft rankings have Crabtree as the 15th-best wide receiver.
Amari Cooper, Crabtree's teammate, was drafted at WR10 due to his seemingly higher ceiling and likely positive touchdown regression. But since Cooper entered the league in 2015, Crabtree has outscored him in each of his two seasons in fantasy scoring.
In 2015, Crabtree ranked 18th among wideouts and he finished 11th in 2016. With Derek Carr improving each year, Crabtree becomes an even better value at WR20. In standard fantasy football drafts, Crabtree is falling to WR23.
