Best pick: Donte Moncrief
It may be a little surprising to see Moncrief listed as the best pick of Round 4, but hear me out. With a healthy Andrew Luck last season, Moncrief averaged 7.7 targets and 13.87 PPR points per contest. Across a 16-game season, that volume number would have ranked 25th at the wide receiver position last year, while the fantasy points scored would've been top-20 production.
No, it's not that simple. Moncrief had the benefit of seeing a lot of touchdowns with Luck under center, which skewed those results a bit. But with Andre Johnson no longer in the picture and Coby Fleener in New Orleans, the Colts' pass-friendly offense doesn't have a whole lot of competition -- those two, in fact, combined for over 160 targets last year.
It shouldn't be tough for Moncrief to fly by the 120 target mark this year given all of this, which should help him make up for the touchdown regression that's bound to hit. That, in the end, makes him a really solid fourth rounder in a wideout-heavy fantasy football landscape.
