Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry turned-in a fantastic rookie season in 2014, and is expected to lead the team in catches once again, according to beat reporter James Walker.

Walker added that Landry has the "best hands on the team," and has the most trust of quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Despite the Dolphins adding ample depth in the passing game with DaVante Parker, Kenny Stills, Greg Jennings and Jordan Cameron, it is Landry who is still expected to come out on top of what should be a vastly improved offense under second-year coordinator Bill Lazor.
Fantasy Spin: It’s an important distinction to make, given the crowd of options available for Tannehill in 2015. Though Landry left a lot to be desired in the yardage department a season ago, his 84-catch total made him a boon to PPR rosters down the stretch.
Though Landry can be had in the fourth-round of standard-formatted drafts, it’s a rich investment to spend on a player who could potentially be unseated in targets by Parker down the stretch. Landry is still a candidate to put up respectable numbers throughout the season, but if Parker emerges in wake of an unhealthy summer, fantasy owners shouldn’t be surprised if Landry tapers off down the stretch of the season.
