2015 Fantasy Football, Week One Targets
Each week I will be tracking approximately the top 50 overall players in targets. The reason I focus on targets is that it gives a true representation how well your wide receiver may do during the season. It has a consistency aspect to it that reception totals just don’t bring. Starting in week two, I will be using arrows to show how each player has moved up or down and by how much.
