Which Wide Receiver Prospects Dominated the Most Games in 2017?

3. Richie James, Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders

I'm fully aware that Richie James played just five games in 2017, but his freshman year (107 catches for 1,334 yards and 8 touchdowns) and sophomore year (105 catches for 1,625 yards and 12 touchdowns) stat lines make him worth analyzing while we're discussing the 2017 draft class.

In 2016, James, who received an invitation to this year's NFL combine, accounted for at least 40% of Middle Tennessee's receiving in 6 of 13 games (46.2%) -- and at least 35.6% in 10 of 13 games. He had his finger prints on nearly every contest in which he played.

No, the opponents weren't stout (he faced just one top-60 pass defense in 2016), but the ability to command a huge market share was apparent. That bears out in the target market shares, too. In 2017, James was targeted on 30.1% of passes in the five games in which he played, in line with a 30.3% market share in 2016 and a 29.8% market share in 2015.

Of course, the main knock on James -- other than competition -- is size. He's only 5'9" and 176 pounds and dealt with a high ankle injury early and a broken collarbone later in the 2017 season. But the production profile is nearly unmatched among this year's receiver class.
