Wide Receiver Draft Targets: CeeDee Lamb & Calvin Ridley (2023 Fantasy Football)

Wide Receiver Draft Targets: CeeDee Lamb & Calvin Ridley (2023 Fantasy Football)

Earlier this week, we looked at four receivers who were overvalued at their ADP. Today we are going to look at the inverse of that: Receivers you should be targeting at their ADP. Like anything, some of these players come with risks, but I would much prefer to invest in them at their raw cost as opposed to others in the same range.

Undervalued Wide Receivers Based on ADP

CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) – ADP: 13th/WR7

Lamb has slipped a bit in the last week as he is now going at the 1st Round turn in PPR drafts. Lamb is coming off a monster season where he had 107 receptions on 156 targets, ranking fourth among receivers in both metrics as he finally ascended into the elite tier of receivers. There could be more opportunities for Lamb this season, however, as Dallas has the look of an offense set up to throw the ball often. Even with the departure of Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy’s insistence on more ball control offensively, Lamb could be set up to see 180 targets this year. Dallas will look to get him the ball more in space, which should allow him to use his ability after the catch. Lamb should be going in the middle of the 1st Round in drafts closer to where Cooper Kupp is being picked. Buy the dip.

Calvin Ridley (WR – JAC) – ADP: 40th/WR17

The last time we saw Calvin Ridley, he was on pace for 100 receptions and 150 targets in Atlanta. Of course, that was almost two years ago, so there is rust to knock off, but so far, Ridley has looked tremendous in camp and is already looking like Trevor Lawrence‘s top target. Working in an offense with Lawrence and head coach Doug Pederson will put Ridley in the best offensive environment of his career. He inherits Zay Jones‘ spot as the X Receiver for the Jaguars, a role that helped Jones to a WR25 finish in 2022. If Ridley can pick up where he left off in 2021, he could very well finish as a WR1 making his WR17 ADP one of the best price tags this season.
