Speed Kills, But Possession Is Better

We love the big play.

The home run where your receiver goes for a 70-yard bomb.

In fantasy, though that rarity is cool to look at but impractical to rely on.

The best receivers in football are all 10 catch game players.

They run the route tree, too.

For example, the best receiver in football is arguably Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He caught 129 catches 1,698 yards. He catches more short routes then fades and streaks.

The most productive receivers are the ones that run routes between the lines and catch those third and eight catches.

Yeah, Desean Jackson is fast but his fantasy stats are not nearly as good as those of a Julian Edelman.
