BALLER MOVE: Target ~165
CURRENT ADP: ~175
ANALYSIS: After turning heads in the 2017 preseason following a 4th round selection in the NFL Draft (despite winning the Biletnikoff Award, given to the NCAA's top wide receiver), Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook looked ready to play a complementary role to wide receivers Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns entering the season. However, an injury forced him to miss the opening games, and by that time Robinson had been lost for the year and players like Keelan Cole had replaced him.
Nevertheless, Westbrook managed to turn a few heads in his rookie year, ending with 339 yards and a touchdown on 27 grabs in the regular season and becoming the team's top contributor in the passing game in the playoffs. With the Jaguars expecting to have another solid year, and Dede Westbrook emerging as one of the team's top targets, it may be time for a breakout from the young receiver.
At his current late-round ADP, Westbrook is a great lottery ticket for fantasy owners who believe that quarterback Blake Bortles, however poor of a quarterback he is, can still sling the deep ball and hope that Westbrook will make a play.
