Fantasy Football: Ranking Each NFL Team's Number-Two Receiver
In fantasy, we can find tremendous value in the second receiver in a team's offense. Let's take a look at the best such wideouts and rank them from worst to first.

Ranking 1-5: Potential League Winners

5) Kenny Stills - Miami Dolphins

Average Draft Position126.4
ADP Position Rank51
Projected REC - YDS - TDS58 - 904 - 6.5

With 15 touchdowns in the past two years, we probably shouldn't be surprised to see Kenny Stills in the top five on this list, but alas, here we are. Stills will reap the benefit of Jarvis Landry's departure and the return of Ryan Tannehill. With DeVante Parker and Stills competing for primary work, Stills is a near lock to see 100 targets in 2018. Factor in his elite touchdown upside, and Stills is a steal at his 11th-round cost.

4) Emmanuel Sanders - Denver Broncos

Average Draft Position83.6
ADP Position Rank34
Projected REC - YDS - TDS72 - 951 - 5.1

Whoever thought we'd be thrilled for Case Keenum to lead the Broncos? But the time is now, and Emmanuel Sanders is ready to eat. As is the case in Cleveland, I think there are legitimate questions about which Denver Broncos receiver will lead the team in targets. Sanders was banged up in 2017 but had just come off three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. He should push for that status again in 2018 with the addition of some increased touchdown upside that comes from improved quarterback play via Keenum.

3) JuJu Smith-Schuster - Pittsburgh Steelers

Average Draft Position43.2
ADP Position Rank19
Projected REC - YDS - TDS69 - 1,020 - 6.5

Despite drawing only seven starts in 2017, rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster burst on the scene to exceed 900 yards receiving with 7 touchdowns. Smith-Schuster drew solid looks working in the slot and opposite of Antonio Brown. With a full season of opportunity in front of him in 2018, there is plenty of work to go around for Smith-Schuster, Brown, and Le'Veon Bell in the passing game. While his touchdown upside may regress this season, Smith-Schuster should continue to see valuable targets to provide a solid floor, and he'd have an elite ceiling were something to happen to Brown or Bell.

2) Marvin Jones - Detroit Lions

Average Draft Position55.7
ADP Position Rank24
Projected REC - YDS - TDS69 - 1,021 - 7.6

Marvin Jones is currently being taken after teammate Golden Tate in the Detroit Lions' offense. Since signing with Detroit two years ago, Jones has drawn more than 100 targets each year and steadily progressed in the offense, building on a 930-yard season in 2016 with a 1,101-yard campaign in 2017, which includes 13 combined touchdowns across the two years. New coach Matt Patricia retained offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, which should stabilize the Lions' strong passing game. If Jones can continue to see 100-plus targets, he should be a safe bet for around a 1,000-yard season with sweet touchdown upside.

1) Stefon Diggs - Minnesota Vikings

Average Draft Position33.8
ADP Position Rank15
Projected REC - YDS - TDS81 - 1,000 - 6.0

Stefon Diggs walked it off against the Saints in the playoffs last year, but before he crushed those poor souls, he found the end zone eight times while battling some nagging injuries. In four complete games before a Week 5 injury, Diggs averaged 8.0 targets for 98 yards per game with 4 total touchdowns. He also ended the season on a high note, with 55 yards per game on 7.5 targets per outings and 3 touchdowns over the last four. Diggs is going in drafts after fellow wide receiver Adam Thielen, but Diggs is certainly no slouch and could end up outscoring Thielen. Matt Harmon's Reception Perception revealed that Diggs possessed the highest success rate against man coverage, suggesting that Diggs is a tremendous route runner. He now gets the privilege of playing with franchise quarterback Kirk Cousins. There is no ceiling to how good Diggs can be in 2018.
