Alshon Jeffery (WR, PHI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall

CURRENT ADP:~171

ANALYSIS: Eagles' HC Doug Pederson announced a few days ago that Jeffery will start the season sitting while still recovering from the surgery he underwent eight months ago. I know that doesn't sound very good, but that's precisely what makes Jeffery a sleeper that even missing a few games to start the year can be a game-changer once he's back on the field.

Alshon Jeffery hasn't been the top-tier wide receiver the Eagles expected him to be when he came over from Chicago after the 2016 season. Despite that, he has shown flashes of solid big-play upside when he's been on the field and he's averaged 14+ PPG in four of his seven seasons as a full-time starter (he only played 10 games with little opportunities as a rookie). Since 2013, his 14.7 PPG career-average ranks 15th among wideouts with at least 40 games played since then. Not bad, right?

The Eagles added a lot to their wide receiver room this offseason through trades and the draft, but the team has stated that they expect Jeffery to still be "a major part of the offense." Since most of the Eagles wide receivers are quick, deep threat type guys, the most-probable role for Jeffery will be that of a goal-line receiver when/if he can stay healthy, which will also give him touchdown upside.

Jeffery is currently either an undrafted or a last-round pick in most drafts, which looks like could turn him into a hidden gem if several things go his way. There are certainly worse choices in the last few rounds of most drafts, and if you have room to stash him until the day he's back he should definitely be part of your bench/roster.
