7. Danny Amendola, New England Patriots

86 Targets, 61 Receptions, 659 Yards, 2 Touchdowns

0.50 Target NEP per target

While it seems like Danny Amendola saves his best for the playoffs, he was quite efficient in the regular season. He started the year off right with 6 receptions for 100 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, but wouldn't come close to this yardage total again. However, he did reel in his targets with a high level of consistency.

Amendola saw six-plus targets in nine different games (including Week 1), and managed four or more catches seven times.

The New England Patriots seemed to have more than enough footballs to go around in their passing game, with seven players seeing at least 30 targets. Amendola had the team's second-most receptions, but was third in terms of yards behind Rob Gronkowski and Brandin Cooks. Only Gronkowski had more Target NEP per target than him, though.

Enjoying another wonderful season at quarterback, Tom Brady was top of the pile among his position with a 0.28 Passing NEP per drop back. It is a testament to his efficiency that so many of his weapons can be productive so often without having to be ridiculously reliant on any of them.
