The 10 Best Wide Receivers From the 2015 NFL Season
Antonio Brown was great again, but was he the NFL's top receiver based on analytics?

7. A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals

Reception NEP: 116.21

Despite a perceived slow start amongst the fantasy football community, A.J. Green came on strong late to post his fifth 1,000-yard season. In fact, Green is the first player since some guy named Randy Moss to start his career with five 1,000-yard seasons. Despite scoring only four touchdowns in his first 10 games, Green found paydirt six times in his final six games.

Green’s 9.83 yards per target was the highest among this group and fourth among all pass catchers with at least 75 targets.

Green’s final line of 86 catches, 1297 yards, and 10 touchdowns helped propel the Bengals to the playoffs for the fifth straight season. With A.J. McCarron set to start the Bengals' wild card game, Green will certainly be called upon to help Cincinnati procure their first playoff win since 1990.
