The 10 Least Efficient Wide Receivers in 2017
6. Ricardo Louis, Cleveland Browns
61 targets, 27 receptions, 357 yards
-0.20 Target NEP per target
Ricardo Louis, like Kenny Britt and Zay Jones, enjoyed a productive two-game stretch this season. And also like them, the rest of the year didn't go well.
He was targeted 17 times in Weeks 4 and 5, which he turned into 10 receptions for 135 yards (64 yards in Week 4, 71 in Week 5). Unfortunately, he didn't have more than 42 yards receiving in any of his remaining games played. He caught 40.7% of his targets in the five games that followed Week 5, with a catch rate greater than 42.9% just once.
