A week to go in the regular season. And in some dynasty leagues, a week remaining to adjust rosters before they look until the 2018 draft. With that in mind, a look at the top 100 long-term receivers, providing some idea of guys to maybe pick up before the roster freeze.
This is an ongoing series. I hit a position each week. (To see previous efforts, click on the “Past Issues” link on the right side of the screen.)
When compiling such a list, I’m mainly look at how good a receiver will be for the next few years, then factoring in age. Antonio Brown is great, for example, but I’ve slotted behind DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham and Michael Thomas because they’re all about five years young.
JuJu Smith-Schuster is probably the surprise name in the top 10. He looks very solid, and he’s only 21 – should be a great pro for a lot of years.
Here’s my stab at it. Let me know where you think I’ve gone horribly wrong.
