DET WR Ryan Broyles - Week 2, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 – Ryan Broyles vs. Carolina Panthers
Ryan Broyles was inactive in the season opener last Monday, as Corey Fuller got the nod over Broyles and Kevin Ogletree. Ryan led the Lions in receiving yards in the preseason, but usually plays in the slot and wasn’t part of the game plan. No. 84 may be active versus the Panthers, however there’s definitely no reason to start him.

DET WR Ryan Broyles - Week 1, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 – Ryan Broyles vs. New York Giants
After a couple of injury-plagued seasons, Ryan Broyles will give it another go this year. He will be the Lions No. 3 WR, likely getting some time in the slot position. Unfortunately for Ryan, Matthew Stafford has a lot of talented targets to throw to, so even when he’s on the field, don’t expect him to put up big numbers. Broyles should not be started, especially versus a Giants secondary that slowed Detroit’s offense near the end of ’13.

DET WR Ryan Broyles - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
It’s the same old story with the third-year WR out of Oklahoma. Ryan Broyles is a speedster and can be a big playmaker if he’s able to stay health. During his rookie season of 2012, he averaged over 14 yards per catch and scored his only two career TDs.

Fantasy Downside
The question remains – can Broyles remain on the field for an entire season? He tore an ACL as a senior at Oklahoma, tore the other ACL as a rookie and ruptured an Achilles tendon last season. He has played in only half of the games his first two seasons and has just 30 total receptions. Ryan is fighting to be the No. 3 WR on the club, behind Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate.

Bottom Line
Broyles comes with all kinds of speed and potential, but it’s a risk if you’re looking to draft Ryan. Johnson is going to receive his fair share of targets and free agent Tate will get plenty of looks as well. The Lions may become a more balanced run-pass team this season, which could limit opportunities. Due to his injury past, there are plenty of other WRs worth drafting ahead of Broyles.
