THOUGHTS ON THE QUESTION
This question will not return for the 2017 game.
Just under 2/3rds of the field got this one wrong. Allen Robinson was the incorrect SHEEP (11), while Odell Beckham Jr. missed out by 4 yards. 23 different incorrect players were taken.
In terms of the corrects, Julio Jones was the SHEEP, and 3 aces were played. 2 WR's qualified twice (Antonio Brown and A.J. Green), and 11 of the 15 potential correct answers were chosen.

KRAZYKRIS' PICK
Julio Jones (correct - 8 points)
After some quick research, I settled on Jones for this question. The NFL's receiving yardage leader from 2015 began that campaign with 3 games of 130+ receiving yards, so I figured he was worth a try here.
After 106 yards in Week 2 at Oakland, Jones qualified at the final attempt, managing 300 receiving yards in Week 4 versus Carolina. He put up the most receiving yards in a game by a Falcon, and became just the sixth player in NFL history with at least 300 receiving yards in a single game.
KRAZYKRIS' AFTER-THE-FACT PICK
Eric Decker
Of the 4 unplayed aces, I immediately crossed off Brown and Pryor. That left Decker and Diggs.
Before the season, I think I would have been more likely to go with Decker. He topped 1,000 yards for the third time in 2015, and 2016 was going to be his third season with the Jets. Diggs was a second-year receiver, coming off of a 720-yard performance in 2015.
As it turns out, Decker would get injured early in the 2016 season, and would finish with 194 receiving yards. But 126 of them came in Week 2 against the Bills, just enough to make him a correct answer.
My actual score after Week 4 was
69 points. My after-the-fact score after Week 4 is
5 points.
