{FOOTBALL} Wide Receivers by the 2014 numbers

Wide Receivers...the DIVAS of the football team.  

They want all the attention, but to put it simply...they are the Kim Kardashian of the family.  That being said they also make the crazy catches, can score you 50 points three weeks in a row then nothing for the next three weeks.  They are a good value to any fantasy team so here are some numbers from the 2014 season... 

82,697 

That's how many yard receivers caught for last year, a record-high, breaking the 2013 mark of 81,605. 

Six years 

The number of consecutive seasons that the total amount of receiving yards have increased for wideouts, many by at least 1,000 yards. 

12.3 

The average Fantasy point total of the Top 12 wide receivers on a per-game basis, up 0.2 points from 2013. 

81.3 pct. 

How often did the best receivers deliver 10-plus Fantasy points? You just read the percentage, delivered by Antonio Brown and Demaryius Thomas. Next best? 75 percent of the time, by Odell Beckham. 

18 

The number of receivers that had double-digit Fantasy points in at least half of their 2014 games, up three from 2013.

So who are you looking to draft this year?  Did you have Odell Beckham last year and hope he is even better this year?  Do you have a sleeper that you are keeping under wraps?  Let me know!
