With the NFL Draft now nothing more than a fading memory, it’s time to look ahead to the new campaign. Fantasy football enthusiasts are currently gearing up for a summer laden with endless draft discussion, and it’s never too early to begin researching for draft season. With that in mind, here’s a look at five wide receivers who project to disappoint the masses in 2016.

Demaryius Thomas makes this list due to the uncertainty surrounding Denver's situation at quarterback. Mark Sanchez isn't good enough to get the most out of Thomas' skill set, and Paxton Lynch will need some seasoning if he starts right away.
4. Randall Cobb - Green Bay Packers

Randall Cobb was expected to step up for Green Bay in Jordan Nelson's absence last season, but it never happened. Injuries can be partially blamed for Cobb's substandard showing, but there's nothing to suggest he will be better in 2016.
3. Torrey Smith - San Francisco 49ers

Neither Colin Kaepernick nor Blaine Gabbert compliment Torrey Smith's skill set as a deep ball receiver. Smith had five games with one catch or less in 2015, and we can expect more of the same next season despite the hiring of Chip Kelly.
2. Ted Ginn Jr. - Carolina Panthers

The return of Kelvin Benjamin will devastate Ted Ginn Jr.'s production in 2016. He might be worth a flier late if he falls well past his ADP -- but you're likely best served by avoiding him altogether.
1. Corey Coleman - Cleveland Browns

Corey Coleman has the talent to prove me wrong, but I firmly believe he's not worth his WR39 ranking due to the uncertainty that accompanies playing with Robert Griffin III. Stay away.
