Deep Sleeper WR's

[stonewall 647]

Well, by now, serious FF players have already mapped out their Wide Receiver prospects for the upcoming season. However, without fail, there are one or two diamonds that fly beneath the radar, ready for a gambler to grab in the last round of a redraft.

 

I am sure that many of you have someone that you are eyeing...but are you willing to share? Here is mine:

 

Tyrell Williams - SD

 

Second year man outta Western Oregon with good metrics. 6'4" and 205, and described by coaches and teammates as a tremendous natural athlete, he ripped off a 4.42 - 40 at his pro day. After SD became decimated with injury last year (Allen, Floyd, Stevie), he came in against Denver late in the year and ripped off an 80 yard TD against Talib.

 

When Benjamin was nursing an injury at minicamp, it wasn't Inman that came in with the 1st-teamers....it was Tyrell Williams. I expect the Charger passing game to be markedly improved this year, and it seems that Williams could be a top-shelf candidate to shine....particularly considering the injury history of their WR corps.

Stevie Johnson already dealing with a knee injury too.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Have Williams stashed on both my dynasty taxi squads. I don't know that I am willing to take him in redraft this year though. I hope to see him get some quality look in the preseason.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Not to mention Allen has been a little inconsistent with health.

[Maulers1973 117]

Some of these aren't real "deep" and may be obvious on this board:

 

John Brown

 

Marvin Jones

 

Michael Thomas

 

Sterling Shepard

 

Robert Woods

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Mine is Rishard Matthews. He is gaining a little traction, but he is still a great price. I think in a quick pass game that matches Mariotas style, Matthews is perfectly built for the role. He isn't a burner with top end speed, but he is quick with a very solid frame. He also has good strength to fight off corners at the line. He could be that shock player to have 80+ catches. I hope he also becomes a more reliable redzone target.

[stonewall 647]

Mine is Rishard Matthews.

 

 

Yes, I like this one....good value. Miami seemed incapable of utilizing talent, including Miller and Cameron. For instance, Matthews had a 6 catch/113 yard/2 TD performance against the Bills last year, followed the next week with a 1 catch flop. Titans have been looking for years for somebody to step up and be consistent. Matthews could very well be that man.

[BufordT 372]

TJ Jones - Detroit.

 

He's healthy and he's been getting some positive press out of ota's. Golden Tate and Marvin Jones are pretty meh (solid but nothing special) as starters imo. Some of the other WR's the Lions brought in like Caldwell, Fuller and Kerley are pretty puke worthy. Jones will have every opportunity to step up.

[giraldi02 470]

Chris Moore

[stonewall 647]

Chris Moore

 

Opportunity is there. Only competition is an old man coming off a horrible injury, an underachieving journeyman who barely passed conditioning tests, and an unproven 2nd-year player coming off injury.

QB has a cannon, too.

[phillygrrl08 139]

Andre Johnson has looked good so far in camp and has something to prove. Picked him up as a "why not" in round 18 of a 20 round draft. Titans offense may surprise people this year.

[nzoner 936]

I really have no other reasoning than Alex has to have another target but I'm going to be keeping a close eye on Chris Conley with the KC Chiefs.

[weepaws 2,499]

Sammie Coates with the Steelers .

Yup

Also a big fan. Have him stashed in most of my dynasty teams

[IGotWorms 3,396]

Stevie Johnson already dealing with a knee injury too.

Why God, WHY??? Damn you!

[nobody 2,090]

Sammie Coates with the Steelers .

 

I'm surprised he isn't getting more buzz.

[kwolf68 13]

Big time. He's a good sleeper. I so wanted him, but one of the more incompetent owners in my league snagged him in some ridiculous early round so I didn't get him. But Coastes is absolutely going to be a player for the Stiilers.

[weepaws 2,499]

P Dorsett .

[polecatt 404]

Terrance Williams for the Cowboys is super deep sleeper with some upside if the Cowboys play well this season and are healthy.

[smash-a-mus 6]

Jj Nelson

[stonewall 647]

Jj Nelson

 

He's good......just a lot of mouths to feed.

[smash-a-mus 6]

Deeeeeeep sleeper... Dude has sleep apnea. Jk no but seriously, he passed my eye test past year. Maybe it was blown coverages but I could swear he was always open and for huge chunks.

[montana 89]

Chris Conley - 45" vertical with 4.35 speed.

 

If only KC threw more. LoL

[montana 89]

Stevie Johnson already dealing with a knee injury too.

Torn meniscus..probably done for the year.

Good call. He's in a contract year too.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I think as long as Maclin is there Conley will have to wait.

[ralphster 274]

Conley has a chance to step up but KC offense limits him. Hogan in an intriguing late flier.

[weepaws 2,499]

Funchess is someone I keep reading good things about going into his second season .

[stonewall 647]

Well, there goes Tyrell as a deep sleeper.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Unless he blows up in the preseason I doubt his draft price goes up much. The third receiver for the Chargers isn't usually reliable

[nobody 2,090]

Plus a meniscus is usually only a 6 week recovery

[giraldi02 470]

I'll take a flier on Dontrelle Inman over Tyrell Williams personally.

[Flgatorguy87 160]

Tajae Sharpe is still running with the 1s and surprising people even with the pads on now. He's been getting open on intermediate routes on a regular basis. I also think his skill set matches MaMars ability way more than DGB, who's been sloppy with terrible timing and routes thus far.

agree 100%

Good call

I like this a lot as well. I went deeper thinking dynasty options with Tajae, but it's a similar point in the passing style matching Matthews really well.

 

Matthews has looked good in camp as well.

[$epphori$ 118]

I am going to say Mike Wallace. With Flacco being really good at throwing deep ball I expect Wallace to have a few huge games this year. Plus if you look at his track record I believe he always has a great first year on a new team. Def worthy of a WR4

I am glad to hear. I haven't heard much about him so far.

James Jones signing with the Chargers may put a damper on Williams sleeper potential.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Idk. James Jones only worked for a bit because Rodgers was throwing to him. I just don't see the same thing happening with the Chargers.

[weepaws 2,499]

Have a hard time trusting Wallace .

 

At this time I don't even have him ranked .

 

If I see more from him than of course I would need to do so .
