Conversely, the Seahawks managed to barely hold onto their former dominance last season, making the playoffs but coming up short in the end. Furthermore, Ryan Tannehill has been ridiculously consistent throughout his career, getting better and better each new season. The Dolphins underachieved last year, setting them up for a nice step forward in 2016. Landry is the better option in this scenario for two very important reasons. Personal bias has no place in fantasy football, unless you enjoy losing. But he was one of my guys on my fantasy team, which makes me like him a little more. He was a surprise fantasy star who, as you noted, is unlikely to repeat such a stellar performance. I absolutely loved Baldwin last season as my third receiver option. Would I rather draft Jarvis Landry or Doug Baldwin at wide receiver? Let me first set my personal bias on the table. Glendale, AZ, USA Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (89) leaps to catch a second quarter pass against the Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium. Just look at Evans yet again for an example of this. The difficulty is that touchdown receptions are historically volatile even out of the best red-zone targets. That isn’t enough to become an elite receiver. The only thing that has held Landry back is nine career touchdown receptions.
This isn’t to say Landry is better than his Tampa counterpart it’s just to illustrate that he is on the same level in terms of impact. Not to pick on Evans, another third-year WR who is going in the second round of most fantasy drafts, but that is a much, much higher catch percentage than Evans has managed. And Landry has hauled in 69.7 percent of those. He has 278 career targets in his two seasons. Landry, the young receiver entering his third season in the league, is rather underrated in national circles. I would much rather have Landry on my team. Essentially there is no separation between the two players who are expected to dominate their respective team’s targets. Landry’s high and low water mark is 21st to 79th from the panel of experts Baldwin’s is 29th to 79th. The folks at Fantasy Pros have Landry ranked exactly 50th and Baldwin 52nd with nearly identical ranges as well. Our first contestants are a pair of number-one wide receivers going around the fifth round: Miami’s Jarvis Landry and Seattle’s Doug Baldwin. Washington Football Team: Why Dustin Hopkins was cut.
