NFL Free Agent Wide Receivers - RotoBaller Reactions

Here at RotoBaller, we've given you our take on all the major moves of NFL free agency (and some minor ones too). Our expert staff may not all agree on where players should be ranked or what their value will be for 2018, but if we did, that would just be boring.

If there's one thing we can all agree upon, it's that March was a crazy month for fantasy football fans. After much upheaval, we decided to gather multiple perspectives on some of the most relevant transactions of the past few weeks.

We continue with the position that is one of the most important to any fantasy roster, wide receiver. Let's see which WRs with new homes will have the biggest fantasy impact in 2018, according to our writers.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

WRs on the Move

Who would you rather own in 2018 re-draft leagues, Allen Robinson or Jarvis Landry?

Robinson. While Landry may be the safer play, Robinson is going to be the unquestioned number one option on his offense and the Bears will likely let Mitch Trubisky throw the ball plenty this year. Landry won't be as dominant in PPR as he was in Miami and may not even be the number one receiver in Cleveland.
-Steve Rebeiro

ARob. Trubisky will mature and show off that arm strength and accuracy with many throws in the direction of his most talented receiver. That core in general has seen a huge upgrade and will be fun to watch. Jarvis faces too much competition for receptions to do what he did in Miami.
-Brett Mitchell

I am going with Jarvis Landry because I trust Taylor more than Trubisky. I like what both offenses did this offseason and both will be much better. When you are looking at two elite talent receivers, and they are close in value, I will lean towards the better QB.
-Kyle Richardson

Allen Robinson is my preferred target. He will become the go-to receiver for a very talented young quarterback in Trubinsky. Landry could turn out to still be really good in fantasy for the Browns but I prefer the Bears quarterback and feel that Robinson has more upside. Taylor Gabriel could also be an under-the-radar fantasy option if he seizes the #2 WR position but that is something that you should track (if your draft is late enough) before committing.
-Jamie Mellor

Jarvis Landry. Both of these guys are number two WRs for fantasy purposes. For a number two WR, I want consistent week in and week out production. Assuming most formats are PPR, Landry offers the safest weekly production.
-Aaron Schillinger

Allen Robinson. Mitch Trubisky is the real deal and the Bears have a new, offensive minded head coach that appears ready to let Trubisky loose.
-Jason Katz

Allen Robinson. I think Cleveland and Chicago are trending up, but Robinson's role makes the most sense. What will Landry be able to do in that Browns offense when they have actual NFL-level options? Meanwhile, Allen Robinson steps in as the immediate WR1 in Chicago.
-Justin Carter

There are so many questions around Jarvis Landry, that I would select Robinson. It's nearly a lock that Robinson will lead the Bears pass-catchers in targets in 2018, barring injury. Landry's role may or may not be the same as it's been in the past in Miami. Give me the potential upside in Robinson.
-Steve Halupka

Jarvis Landry. If he can catch 112 passes with Jay Cutler and Matt Moore, who knows what he'll be able to do with Tyrod Taylor throwing him the ball.
-Wai Sallas

Robinson. Less competition for targets, in an emerging offense, and his aDot isn’t 7...
-Chris Mangano

 

Which under-the-radar free agent WR will be the most pleasant surprise in 2018?

Danny Amendola. Not many people have been talking about this signing, but Amendola could fill that Jarvis Landry role. I don’t expect similar numbers, but he could easily end up with WR3 numbers due to potential volume of receptions.
-Aaron Schillinger

Albert Wilson. Jarvis Landry vacated 161 targets and they're not all going to Danny Amendola. Wilson is substantially better than DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills. He should start and finally get a chance to be a key cog in an offense. He has WR3 upside for what I think will be a flier price.
-Jason Katz

Taylor Gabriel to the Bears. He showed flashes with the Falcons and I think he can assume the WR2 role behind Allen Robinson.
-Chris Mangano

After the addition of Robinson and Trey Burton, Taylor Gabriel isn't getting a lot of attention in Chicago. I like him to be a sneaky PPR play this year. He will play in the slot with Robinson and Meredith on the outside. He is a quick, shifty athlete who can catch some quick slant passes or get open behind the linebackers and in front of the safeties. He could become a safety valve for Trubisky.
-Kyle Richardson

John Brown could be due for a redemption year in an offense lacking much depth at the position.
-Steve Rebeiro

As much as I love John Brown, I'm going to go with a relatively new and very under-the-radar pick. Brice Butler may get the chance to shine in Arizona by filling Brown's role as the deep threat, but without the constant injury concerns. He's a better fit in MFL10 best-ball leagues, but one that could produce big plays on occasion and serve as a valuable WR4.
-Pierre Camus
