The season is just around the corner and it’s time to look for value in the wide receiver room. Having solid depth at wide receiver is an extremely important aspect of fantasy football. A great 1-2 punch at receiver is always fun, but what if you can have a great 1-4?
Looking into the middle rounds to find gems will be how you win your league. Everyone knows the Porsche you drafted in the first round is going to perform well… but what about that ’04 Honda that you picked up for dirt cheap? Does it still have value?
Wide Receiver Value Picks
https://gty.im/1935878630
Diontae Johnson
Diontae Johnson didn’t have the season had hoped for in 2023. Finishing the season as the wide receiver 45 (Sleeper). He finished the season with 51 receptions, 717 yards, and 5 touchdowns. In 2023 he had the lowest amount of targets in his career with 87. Granted missing three games and poor quarterback play didn’t help that number any.
Averaging 11.7 points per game he finished 41st in weekly average. Now he sits on the board with an ADP of 93.6. An eighth to ninth-round pick for a possible number-one receiver is criminal.
When Johnson takes over the number-one role from Adam Thielen (33 years old this season) expect Johnsons’ career to get back on track bringing a top 25 finish along with it.
Keon Coleman
The 2024 33rd overall pick, should not come as a surprise when talking about an absolute value late in the draft. Stepping into the best situation a rookie WR could possibly imagine. With Stefan Diggs, and Gabe Davis both finding new teams this offseason the number one role in Buffalo is up for grabs. Expect Keon Coleman to take over that spot. Coleman’s ADP is currently 96.2 on Sleeper. Making him a steal in the eighth to ninth-round on the upside and potential volume alone.
In ‘23 while at Florida State Coleman caught 50 passes, for 658 yards, and 11 touchdowns. Don’t be surprised if at the end of the season, the team that wins your Fantasy League has Coleman on their roster.
Jakobi Meyers
Jakobi Meyers finished the 2023 season as the wide receiver 24 (Sleeper). Finishing the year 19 spots ahead of his projected finish of 43. In 2024 he sits with ADP of 129.2! The 55th receiver off the board.
He finished the season with 71 receptions for 807 yards. 8 touchdowns receiving, 4 carries for 24 yards, and two more touchdowns. He has had three straight seasons of over 65 catches, and 800 yards. Still, the number two receiver for the Raiders. Meyers’s volume should remain similar to years past, and we expect him to finish well above his projected finish as the 55th receiver. Snagging Meyers as your WR 4/5 in the 11th or 12th round almost feels like stealing candy from a baby.
Final thoughts
Having looked at Johnson, and Meyers’ past and Colemans’ situation these guys are going to be steals at their current ADP. Don’t let your league mates beat you to the punch on these mid to late-round value receivers!
