9. Bennie Fowler, Denver Broncos

56 targets, 29 receptions, 350 yards, 3 touchdowns

-0.16 Target NEP per target

Bennie Fowler saw just four targets in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but got his season off to a quick start with 3 catches for 21 yards and 2 touchdowns. That was as good as it'd get, though -- Fowler scored just once more all year, had eight games with one or fewer receptions, and three games in which he recorded targets but no catches.

However, it'd be tough to say the Denver Broncos' offensive was an exciting or efficient one this past year. Trevor Siemian took the most starter snaps under center and ranked 27th of 29 quarterbacks with 300-plus drop backs in Passing NEP per drop back. Fowler stands out when comparing to the rest of his teammates, as there were four Broncos receivers with at least 30 targets, and the next-closest Target NEP per target was Demaryius Thomas' mark of 0.06.
