5 Late-Round Wide Receivers Who Could Be Fantasy Breakouts
Finding those late-round players that outperform their draft-day value is vital to winning your fantasy football league. Seasons are often won in the middle and late rounds of a draft; after all, those early picks should give everyone a chance at a solid scoring floor. For example, those who keyed in on Amon-Ra St. Brown in their drafts last season -- with average draft position (ADP) of WR25 -- had a significant advantage when the sophomore receiver finished as the WR8.
Here are five sleepers and late-round picks with a pathway to be a top target on their respective teams. All five receivers are going after WR36, which means they will be bench stashes for many fantasy teams, but these players could return the value that sees you through the fantasy playoffs.
Jahan Dotson, Commanders
Courtland Sutton, Broncos
Quentin Johnston, Chargers
Rondale Moore, Cardinals
DJ Chark, Panthers
Some other late-round WR targets to consider: Brandin Cooks (DAL), Elijah Moore (CLE), Rashee Rice (KC), and Chase Claypool (CHI).
