It was just last July that many perspective Mike Wallace owners were jumping at the idea of him being a solid WR1 option. After all, he was coming off a 2011 campaign that saw him put up nearly 1,200 yards and eight scores. Stats that made Wallace the ninth-ranked fantasy receiver in the league. 

Following a contract dispute last offseason and struggles with consistency, Wallace failed to put up the necessary statistics to justify what was a rather high ADP. 

Wallace finished this last season as the 25th-ranked wide receiver in the league; averaging less than nine points per outing. This after he was, on average, the 13th wide receiver off the board. Talk about not acquiring value at what has to be considered an important part of the draft. Think about this for a second: Wallace's ADP was higher than Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant last year. That's ridiculous. 

The young receiver caught less than five passes per outing and averaged under 55 yards per game. That's simply not what you are looking for as it relates to production from a top-tier WR2 option. 

Of the 116 targets Wallace received last year, he caught a grand total of just 64 passes for a catch rate of 55 percent. Contrary to the popular belief that Wallace is a deep threat, he caught only 19 percent of the passes thrown to him that traveled over 25 yards in the air. 

A lot of this had to do with Ben Roethlisberger's seemingly never-ending injury problems and some mild injury issues for Wallace himself. 

But it is still important to note that Wallace regressed a great deal in his final season with the Steelers. 

He now moves on to the Ryan Tannehill-led Miami Dolphins to be their true No. 1 wide receiver. The strong-armed Tannehill shouldn't represent much of a downgrade from Big Ben in terms of actually getting the ball to Wallace. 

The issue here is that Miami's offense may very well be run based with Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas in the backfield as well as a young quarterback throwing the ball. 

It's also important to note that Miami re-signed Brian Hartline in the offseason and added two other solid receiving targets in the form of  Dustin Keller and Brandon Gibson who have each had productive NFL careers thus far. 

Will Wallace see the same amount of targets as last year? If so, can he repeat the performance that we saw back in 2011? Those are two major questions plaguing him as we enter full-scale draft season. 

Wallace's ADP ranks him in the middle of the fifth round at this point. Depending on your draft strategy that either means you will be relying on him as either a WR1 or WR2 option. If so, buyer beware.
