Fantasy Upside
Jarvis Landry saw 34 fewer targets in 2016 with Adam Gase as head coach but better efficiency maintained his status as a WR2 in fantasy. That efficiency also made him one of the more consistent receivers week-to-week, with 12 double-digit scoring weeks in PPR. Overall, he was 15th among WRs with 14.3 PPR fantasy points per game.
Fantasy Downside
Landry continues to not be a big touchdown threat in fantasy, failing to reach more than five touchdowns in each of his first three seasons. His nine red zone targets led the team but were 104th in the NFL, indicating two things we've also heard from Dolphins coaches this offseason. They want to rely on the run game and they didn't run enough plays in 2017. In fact, they were last in the league in plays run. If Landry regresses to his 2015 efficiency, his WR2 status is in trouble. Miami has also indicated no contract extension is coming for Landry, meaning he's not a top priority.
2017 Bottom Line
It's hard to see much upside in Landry's 2017 ceiling. His mid-to-late round three ADP is fair, given his recent fantasy finishes, but doesn't account for the potential downside. A quick glance at 4for4's rankings unveils other options with later ADPs that are better or similar options to Landry.
