With the 2016 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror and most NFL free agents with their new squads, here are the FOX Fantasy department's way-too-early 2016 fantasy football draft strategy rankings.
There are four studs who sit atop the first tier in the 2016 wide receiver player pool: Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, and Odell Beckham Jr.
Brown and Jones both compiled 136 receptions (NFL-most) last year. Jones had 37 more yards, but Brown scored two more TDs. Plus, Ben Roethlisberger missed four games in 2015. Jones’ QB, Matt Ryan, didn’t miss a game.
Speaking of quarterbacks who miss games, it would be a crime not to include Dez Bryant into the mix. Bryant had his streak of 1,200 yard seasons snapped in 2015 after three-consecutive campaigns. He played in only nine games and Tony Romo played in four. In those four contests, Bryant scored two TDs. When healthy, there is always a strong chance that you’ll see Bryant throw the “X” up.
