BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~180
ANALYSIS: If there is a word to define Allen Lazard's offseason, it would be silence. We have not heard from him in weeks -- or months if you push it. Green Bay didn't add any weapon to its receiving corp through the draft, though the team does have a stud of a wide receiver in Davante Adams (who is on a contract year). Other than that, the roster depth is slim at best when it comes to the WR/TE position.
It seems like most fantasy GMs have yet to realize what's going on in Green Bay and how the next season will develop in terms of targets at the receiving positions. Sure, Adams will get most of the chances, but someone has to support him throughout the year and Lazard is the best-positioned player to do so. PFF has Lazard projected to reach 168 PPR points, which is good for WR42 and basically translates to a weekly WR3/FLEX play.
If Lazard can put up those numbers (94 targets, 60 receptions, 808 yards, 5 TD), then his ADP is an absolute steal these days even while clearly being on the rise. Lazard is only the WR66 off the board but projects to end the year as the 105th-best player in fantasy football (and WR42). That makes him the ultimate steal. Only Danny Amendola and Russell Gage have higher ROIs (ADP/expected final Rk) among WRs with ADPs over 20. Draft Lazard now before it's too late!
