Five Undervalued Wide Receivers for Last Minute Drafts

What's up RotoBallers. Week One has arrived, and for most of us that means our teams are drafted. But there are some folks still choosing their winning teams for 2016, so we are here to help.

These wide receivers are currently being undervalued based on their latest ADP numbers and should be viewed as a bargain for owners taking part in last minute drafts.

Careful Not To Miss Out On These Receivers

Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers

Current Yahoo! ADP: 23.7

Current ADP Among WR: 13

Jordy is the classic case of “out of sight, out of mind” for many fantasy owners this draft season. Either fans forgot just how valuable Nelson is for the Packers and fantasy teams alike, or they are scared off by last August’s torn ACL. Sure, he did not play in any preseason games, but by the end of camp, he managed to progress from individual drills to practicing in full 11-on-11s. Nelson, who averaged 91 catches, 1,416 receiving yards, and 10 TD in his two seasons prior to the injury, is a clear-cut WR1 that has the full trust of one of the games best signal callers. Expect Jordy to be in midseason form sooner rather than later and reclaim his spot among the top 10 fantasy WR.

 

Jarvis Landry, Miami Dolphins

Current Yahoo! ADP: 47.6

Current ADP Among WR: 22

Landry is coming off a breakout 2015 campaign that saw him haul in 110 catches for over 1,150 yards. His scoring suffered (4 TD) due to inconsistent quarterback play and poor play-calling, a direct result from the instability on the sidelines. The third year pro is an ascending player that will benefit from a potentially poor running game and the presence of new head coach Adam Gase, a renowned offensive mind that is will be counted on to get QB Ryan Tannehill on track. As offensive coordinator in Denver, Gase oversaw monster seasons from receivers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. With all of these factors working in his favor, it is likely that Landry can exceed his totals from last season, and should be going considerably higher in all formats, especially PPR leagues.

 

Jeremy Maclin, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

Current Yahoo! ADP: 51.2

Current ADP Among WR: 24

“Kansas City is where wide receivers go to die” was a line I heard routinely last summer. After all, the Chiefs went the entire 2014 season without throwing a touchdown to a wide receiver and on paper, it seemed to be a poor fit: Maclin was often used in Philadelphia as a deep threat while Chiefs QB Alex Smith is known for his check-downs and conservative approach with the football. After a slow start, the speedster proved that he could work underneath the coverage AND score touchdowns, emerging as the true top option in the Chiefs passing attack. Maclin’s 87 receptions were a career high, and his 124 targets were the second highest of his career, and led the Chiefs by a decent margin. Another year in the offense and a running game that appears in flux are potential boosts to his value. A top 15 finish in PPR leagues is quite a realistic scenario.

 

Willie Snead, New Orleans Saints

Current Yahoo! ADP: 120.0

Current ADP Among WR: 47

Snead burst onto fantasy radars in 2015 as an undrafted free agent, hauling in 69 passes on 101 targets for 984 yards. He entered the offseason as a guy whose stock was clearly on the rise, until the Saints drafted Michael Thomas in the second round of the NFL Draft. While it’s been Thomas that has garnered all of the summer buzz, Snead remains a sneaky late round option as a key cog in a high-powered offense that found creative ways to move him around the formations to get him the ball last season. Expect borderline WR3/WR4 production from him and should be owned in most 10 and 12 league formats; the same can’t be said for guys like Kevin White, Josh Doctson, and Danny Amendola who remarkably are all going higher than Snead right now.

 

Mohamed Sanu, Atlanta Falcons

Current Yahoo! ADP: 131.1

Current ADP Among WR: 70

The Falcons were smart enough to recognize that Roddy White has broken down and is no longer a viable option in the highly-coveted role of playing opposite Julio Jones. Enter Sanu, a former third round pick of the Bengals that showed big-play potential just two years ago (56 catches for 790 yards and an impressive 14.1 yards-per-catch average) before a significant drop off in 2015. So why the optimism? At just 27 years old, Sanu is still young enough to improve and will benefit as the clear option to line up opposite Jones. The Falcons also invested a pretty penny in Sanu ($32.5 million, to be exact) and will certainly look to get a return on their investment. Finally, with the Bengals, Sanu had to fight for looks and opportunity with the likes of A.J. Green, Marvin Jones, Tyler Eifert, Jeremy Hill, and Giovani Bernard. With the Falcons, after Jones and running back Devonta Freeman get theirs, Sanu is the guy. Expect Sanu to far exceed current expectations and become a steady WR3 play.
