4 Wide Receivers Who Deserve Way More Attention in Fantasy Drafts
These are the WRs that smart fantasy players are already targeting...
This time of year, the hype machines are loud.
Most people chase the flash. The rookies. The camp videos.
But the smart drafters are targeting value - guys going multiple rounds later than they should be.
These 4 WRs are being overlooked right now:
#4 Calvin Ridley - Titans
Ridley led the entire NFL in air yards last season. But the QB play? Bottom five, which led to plenty of deep balls falling incomplete.
Now Ridley gets a major QB upgrade with rookie Cam Ward - who led college football in deep completions last season…
#3 Travis Hunter - Jaguars
He’s already showing chemistry with Trevor Lawrence in camp and the WR depth chart behind Brian Thomas is wide open.
With Liam Coen calling plays, Hunter is going to get every chance to shine. Draft him now, before the highlight clips start going viral…
#2 Darnell Mooney - Falcons
Mooney had 1000 yards and 14 deep catches last year. That’s more deep plays than the entire Dolphins WR room in 2024.
Now he gets a full offseason with QB Michael Penix & no serious competition was added. Mooney goes as WR52 in drafts - despite finishing as a Top 35 WR last year…
#1 Stefon Diggs - Patriots
Diggs was averaging 15 fantasy points per game before tearing his ACL last season. But now he’s healthy and walks into a Patriots offense that needs a WR1.
He’ll be paired with Drake Maye and new OC Josh McDaniels. Even at 80% health, Diggs is the clear alpha here. Somehow, he’s being drafted as WR44…
Bottom Line:
Every year, a few overlooked WRs explode - and win leagues. These are the guys that could do it this season.
