Odell Beckham Jr.: 92 rec, 1,269 yards, 10 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 184.9 fantasy points
Brandon Marshall: 65 rec, 820 yards, 7 TDs, 17 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 122 fantasy points
Sterling Shepard: 53 rec, 652 yards, 4 TDs, 22 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 91.4 fantasy points

The Giants finished last season ranked 10th in wideout targets and 13th in red-zone targets. ... Odell Beckham Jr. led the team with 169 targets, which is the most he's seen in a single season. He has also scored 42 percent of New York's wideout touchdowns during his three years in the league. Beckham's target totals could see a decrease this season, at least somewhat, with the addition of veteran Brandon Marshall and rookie tight end Evan Engram. ... Marshall has averaged 135 targets and eight touchdowns in his last three seasons. Beckham Jr. is the lone wideout on the G-Men to hit that target mark since 2014, however, while Sterling Shepard (2016) and Rueben Randle (2015) had eight scores a piece. ... In three seasons as the head coach or offensive coordinator, Ben McAdoo's second-highest scoring fantasy wideout (behind OBJ) has finished no better than 28th.

Quincy Enunwa: 68 rec, 903 yards, 5 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 118.3 fantasy points
Robby Anderson: 45 rec, 644 yards, 4 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 88.4 fantasy points
John Brown: 34 rec, 395 yards, 2 TDs, 23 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 51.8 fantasy points

In 2016, the Jets ranked third in wide receiver targets and were fourth in red-zone opportunities. However, no team did less in the stat sheets with more chances to produce. Marshall, now a member of the Giants, led the team with 128 targets but finished 51st in fantasy points among wideouts. Quincy Enunwa, who was second in targets with 105 targets, finished 41st. Their combined wide receivers scored 15 touchdowns, or one more than Jordy Nelson. ... Enunwa figures to lead the team in targets with Marshall and Decker out of the mix, so he could push for 70 catches this season under new offensive coordinator John Morton. ... Robby Anderson and rookie ArDarius Stewart will battle for the second and third spots on the depth chart in training camp. Unfortunately, neither wideout will be worth more than a late flier in an offense that could see Christian Hackenberg make significant starts.

Amari Cooper: 85 rec, 1,187 yards, 6 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 152.7 fantasy points
Michael Crabtree: 84 rec, 940 yards, 8 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 140 fantasy points

The Raiders ranked in a tie for sixth in the NFL in targets and finished second in red-zone targets among wide receivers a season ago, as both Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper finished in the top 12 in fantasy points at the position. ... Crabtree led the team in both targets (145) and touchdown catches (8), but he scored just one more fantasy point than Cooper. ... Cooper's one downfall, at least in fantasy football, has been in the touchdown department. He's scored just six times in his first 155 NFL receptions. That's one touchdown for nearly every 26 receptions. Furthermore, Cooper ranked third on the Raiders in red-zone targets behind both Crabtree (22) and Seth Roberts (21) in 2016. ... The team promoted Todd Downing from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator in the offseason, but the same system that former coordinator Bill Musgrave left behind will remain intact.

Alshon Jeffery: 72 rec, 1,031 yards, 7 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 143.1 fantasy points
Jordan Matthews: 61 rec, 704 yards, 5 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 100.4 fantasy points
Torrey Smith: 41 rec, 587 yards, 4 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 82.7 fantasy points

The Eagles finished 26th in targets and tied for 13th in red-zone targets among wideouts a season ago. ... Jordan Matthews led the team in targets (116), but he finished a meager 49th in fantasy points at wide receiver. His opportunities also seem destined to decrease with the addition of Jeffery and Torrey Smith. Jeffery, who has missed 11 games over the last two years, averaged 94 targets and 53 receptions with six touchdowns in that time. Those totals should rise under offensive coordinator Frank Reich, though the former NFL quarterback has not had a lot of luck with wideouts. In fact, he's never had a wide receiver finish higher than 29th in fantasy points in his three seasons in that role. To his credit, however, Keenan Allen was on pace for a top-10 finish under Reich before going down with a lacerated kidney after eight games in 2015. Jeffery should be picked as a No. 2 fantasy wideout.

Antonio Brown: 112 rec, 1,377 yards, 11 TDs, 22 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 205.9 fantasy points
Martavis Bryant: 69 rec, 923 yards, 8 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 138.3 fantasy points
Eli Rogers: 26 rec, 348 yards, 2 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 44.8 fantasy points

Pittsburgh ranked 15th in wideout targets and 20th in red-zone opportunities last season. ... Antonio Brown led the team with 154 targets, which was his lowest total since 2014 but was still enough for him to rank third in fantasy points. Brown has also seen more targets (528) than any player in the league over the last three years. ... Martavis Bryant will return from a season-long suspension, and he's a breakout candidate in fantasy land. The talented wideout has scored 15 total touchdowns in his 21 NFL games, including 14 scoring catches in 76 receptions. ... Wideouts have had success under Todd Haley in his time as an offensive coordinator or head coach, as Brown (2013-2016), Dwayne Bowe (2010) and Larry Fitzgerald (2007-2008) have ranked in the top seven among wideouts in their respective years. Brown, Bowe and Fitzgerald all ranked first or second in their time under Haley.

San Francisco 49ers

Projections
Pierre Garcon: 83 rec, 987 yards, 4 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 122.7 fantasy points
Jeremy Kerley: 54 rec, 590 yards, 2 TDs, 18 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 70.8 fantasy points
Marquise Goodwin: 34 rec, 429 yards, 2 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 52.9 fantasy points

The 49ers finished 28th in wideout targets last season, and no team gave its wide receivers fewer red-zone chances. As a result, it's no surprise that Jeremy Kerley was the team's best fantasy wideout - at No. 59. That should improve under new head coach Kyle Shanahan, however. In his nine seasons as an offensive coordinator, Shanahan's receivers have finished in the top 20 in fantasy points six times. That includes Julio Jones, who finished sixth and second in his two years under Shanahan. ... Garcon had his best fantasy season under Shanahan while the two were together in Washington, as he recorded career highs in targets (181), receptions (13) and yards (1,346). The veteran finished 13th in fantasy points among wideouts that season in standard scoring leagues, and could be a nice bargain in 2017. ... Goodwin and Kerley are projected to be second and third on the depth chart.

Doug Baldwin: 89 rec, 1,126 yards, 8 TDs, 31 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 161.7 fantasy points
John Brown: 48 rec, 633 yards, 4 TDs, 47 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 90.0 fantasy points
John Brown: 32 rec, 328 yards, 3 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 50.8 fantasy points

Seattle ranked 20th in wide receiver targets and tied for 17th in red-zone chances at the position last season. ... For the second straight season and just the second time in the last five years under offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, the Seahawks had a wideout who finished better than 28th in fantasy points at the position. That was Doug Baldwin, who ranked 10th and saw career highs in targets (125), receptions (94) and yards (1,128). He'll be a low-end No. 1 wideout in drafts. ... Aside from Baldwin, Bevell's wideouts have not made a major impact in the world of fantasy football. In fact, the best finish that any No. 2 Seahawks receiver has had in the last five seasons is Golden Tate -- he ranked 36th at the position in 2012. The average finish of their second-best fantasy wideout is 46th. Keep that in mind before reaching for either Tyler Lockett, Jermaine Kearse or Paul Richardson.

Mike Evans: 89 rec, 1,235 yards, 10 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 181.5 fantasy points
DeSean Jackson: 63 rec, 977 yards, 5 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 125.7 fantasy points

The Buccaneers were tied for eighth in targets and ranked 16th in red-zone targets among wide receivers last season. ... Mike Evans dominated the target share, leading his team (and the league) with 173. That was 88 more than Adam Humphries, who ranked second in Tampa Bay. Evans' targets could decline somewhat, as the Buccaneers added DeSean Jackson and rookie tight end O.J. Howard to a pass attack that should be improved over last year's version. Jackson has never had more than 126 targets in a single season, though, and he's averaged just 98 targets, 47 catches, 901 yards and five touchdowns over the last three years. ... In his last 10 seasons as a head coach or offensive coordinator, Dirk Koetter has produced three top-10 fantasy wideouts. All four have come in the last five years and include Evans (2016), Julio Jones (2012, 2014) and Roddy White (2012).

Rishard Matthews: 53 rec, 712 yards, 5 TDs, rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 100.4 fantasy points

The Titans finished 31st in targets and 29th in red-zone chances at the wideout spot a season ago, but the offense promises to look much different under offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie. ... The team added Corey Davis in the NFL draft, and Decker was signed late in the offseason to add even more talent to what is now a deep group of receivers. ... Rishard Matthews, who led the team with 108 targets and finished 14th in fantasy points at the position last season, will be hard pressed to reach his 2016 totals. The same goes for Tajae Sharpe, who won't duplicate the 80 targets he saw during his rookie campaign. ... No Tennessee wide receiver besides Matthews has scored more than six touchdowns in a single season over the last three years, but Decker has averaged 8.5 scores over his last six seasons and Davis scored 46 times in his last three college years.

Terrelle Pryor: 81 rec, 1,076 yards, 6 TDs, 30 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 144.6 fantasy points
Jamison Crowder: 76 rec, 988 yards, 5 TDs, 13 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 128.1 fantasy points
Josh Doctson: 55 rec, 658 yards, 4 TDs, 0 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 87.8 fantasy points

The Redskins ranked 12th in wideout targets and ninth in red-zone chances last season, but the team lost a combined 214 targets with the departures of DeSean Jackson and Garcon in the offseason. ... The team added Pryor, who saw 141 targets from five different quarterbacks in Cleveland, to become their new No. 1 wideout. The upgrade at quarterback to Kirk Cousins and the prospect of a more productive pass attack makes Pryor a breakout candidate. ... Jamison Crowder, who finished 30th in fantasy points among wideouts in 2016, is a good sleeper candidate with added value in PPR leagues. His target share average should move upward of seven per game. ... Josh Doctson missed all but two games as a rookie but remains a worthwhile flier. ... In six seasons as either a head coach or offensive coordinator, Jay Gruden has produced five top-20 fantasy performances at the position.

20 things we learned at NFL Training Camp on Friday.

The first week of training camp wouldn't be complete without the concomitant holdouts.
As the Rams report for duty, All-Pro defensive lineman Aaron Donald is withholding his services in search of a life-changing contract. One of the NFL's quietest superstars, Donald has been as dominant as any defensive player in the league over the past two seasons.
Due to transition from a three-technique defensive tackle to defensive end in Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme, Donald is smart to strike now in case the position switch meets an adjustment period. We suspect the Rams' most valuable building block will end up surpassing Ndamukong Suh as the league's highest-paid defensive star.
While Donald's stance comes as little surprise, the holdout of Raiders left tackle Donald Penn was not expected. The stalwart blindside protector for $125 million quarterback Derek Carr, Penn allowed just one sack last season -- the one that led to Carr's broken leg. Seeking one last payday at age 34, Penn is determined to gain compensation as one of the top-10 left tackles in football.
Barring a new deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, Penn will not show up to Raiders camp.

Here's what else we learned from training camps around the league on Friday:

1. Joe Flacco told reporters Friday that he expects to miss only a week with his back injury, which leaves the Ravens in a holding pattern at quarterback. After discussing the prospect of signing Colin Kaepernick, the team opted instead for a camp arm in former Kansas City Phantoms quarterback David Olson. Should Flacco's injury persist for multiple weeks, coach John Harbaugh explained, then the Ravens would reconsider adding a fringe starter such as Kaepernick. After watching No. 2 quarterback Ryan Mallett melt down in Friday's practice, Baltimore's brass might just feel a greater sense of urgency.

2. Although the agent for Devonta Freeman has left Flowery Branch without a deal, NFL Network's Michael Silver reported the Falcons have discussed a five-year extension that would make the former fourth-round draft pick one of the highest-paid running backs in the league. To protect himself against injury until an agreement is reached, Silver added, Freeman has signed up for a $10 million insurance policy.

3. While a new Freeman contract seems inevitable, wide receiver Jarvis Landry has yet to receive an offer from the Dolphins. At this point, Landry is expected to play out his contract, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. With DeVante Parker poised for a breakout season and $20 million in guarantees committed to Kenny Stills, it's no surprise that Miami would be reluctant to shell out top-tier money for a slot receiver -- even a premier one.
