CURRENT ADP: ~400
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos wide receiver Daesean Hamilton may be the forgotten man in this season's strong crop of rookie receivers, but he should not be undervalued come fantasy draft day. At Penn State, Hamilton flashed route-running ability that was considered by many draft scouts as being some of, if not the, best in his class. He carried that momentum into the draft combine and continued to impress on his path to being drafted in the fourth round by the Denver Broncos.
While fellow rookie Courtland Sutton will receive all the hype, Hamilton is a candidate to have both an immediate and long-term role in Denver’s offense which is starved for a slot receiver of Hamilton’s caliber. With Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders lining up on the outside, look for Hamilton to emerge as a candidate for some volume out of the slot as training camp progresses. Sutton figures to be no competition for Hamilton as he pushes for this role, as he figures to be a long-term option on the outside.
With Hamilton being left off of most owners draft boards currently, target him in the final rounds of your drafts, as newly-signed Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keeunum relied heavily on his slot wide receivers in Minnesota, a role which Hamilton could find himself in sooner rather than later.
