Fantasy Upside
In his first year in New Orleans, Ted Ginn carved out a role for himself in the Saints offense. Targeted 70 times on the year, Ginn finished with 53 receptions for 787 yards and 4 touchdowns, which placed him as fantasy's WR35. Essentially a gadget player for most of his career, Ginn has now topped 700 receiving yards in each of his last three seasons (two in Carolina and one in New Orleans). Even with Michael Thomas and newcomer Cameron Meredith drawing targets in the Saints' passing game, Ginn will once again serve as the team's primary deep threat.
Fantasy Downside
Ginn has never finished higher than fantasy's WR26. If healthy, Meredith is a better option than Willie Snead in the passing game and thus, Ginn's targets will be limited. With Thomas, Meredith and Alvin Kamara to feed in the passing game, Ginn's ceiling isn't very high.
2018 Bottom Line
Ginn ranks as our No. 50 WR heading into the season. His ADP in 10-team leagues is 17.03 and 14.07 in 12-team leagues. While he will once again be a weekly dart throw, Ginn will have some streaming appeal depending on the matchup. He's worth a late-round flier and is good WR depth.
