Production at the wide receiver position among the top picks has dropped significantly over the past few weeks. Brandon Marshall has scored just 29 points in the past five games, a 5.8 fantasy points per game average. Julio Jones hasn’t gotten in the end zone since Week 3 . Despite his average of 13.97 fantasy points per game, fourth best among wideouts, A.J. Green has been virtually a non-factor this season thanks to injury. Same with Calvin Johnson (9.27 fantasy points per game). Consistency at the wide receiver position is the difference between a losing and winning record. Receivers with two or less single digit fantasy outings: Demaryius Thomas, Antonio Brown, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Dez Bryant, Jeremy Maclin, Mike Wallace, Kelvin Benjamin, Emmanuel Sanders, and Michael Floyd.
