Wide Receiver Rank: #46 Overall: #127
Meachem was all over the place again last season, having four games with fewer than 10 yards and two 100-yard games. He got his chances in the Saints' offense, but didn't get consistent chances on a weekly basis. He was targeted just 66 times, so his 44 receptions were impressive. Meachem has similar numbers the past two seasons, averaging 45 receptions for 680 yards and seven touchdowns. Meachem is a big receiver with top speed and the ability to stretch the field in a hurry. He still doesn't have the best hands, though, and his route running isn't always crisp. He should continue to play a reserve role in the Saints pass-first offense.

Meachem is capable of the big game any week, which makes him an intriguing fantasy option. But his inconsistency obviously hurts his value. You just never know when his big games will come. Meachem should once again get 40 or so catches for around 650 yards and five touchdowns. Take him as a reserve and try to figure out when his big games will come. |
