Wide Receiver Sleepers

Jakobi Meyers (LV)

“Jakobi Meyers is being criminally underrated in the consensus rankings, currently ranked as WR50, which is inexcusable considering he was WR24 last season. Let this sink in: Meyers finished as a WR1 four times last season, the same number as his teammate Davante Adams. Adams will always be the top target, Brock Bowers is now in the mix, and touchdown regression is possible, but Meyers should still flirt with 100 targets, making his current ECR entirely too low. He’s a solid WR3, not a fringe WR4/WR5.”

Jameson Williams (DET)

“Jameson Williams has star potential. Williams torched SEC defenses, including the National Champion Georgia Bulldogs, who had one of the best defenses in college history. And with Josh Reynolds now in Denver, Williams should get more playing time and take a huge step forward this season. Finally, NFL Senior Writer Nick Baumgardner (who is based in Michigan) reported during the NFL combine that, “Something I heard this week more than a few times: Detroit believes Jameson Williams is going to be a dude next year. And uh, to be clear: That’s the first time I’ve heard that type of firm optimism about Williams from Lions people in honest moments since he got there.” Ringo’s comp- Jameson Williams reminds me a little of Randy Moss.”

Quentin Johnston (LAC)

“Quentin Johnston. The guy that drops balls constantly and was erratic as a rookie? Yep, same one. Why? Because he is an athletic freak with terrific size and a potentially huge role. QJ had five games of 10+ fantasy points as a raw rookie, so we know the production can be there. Serious target share is up for grabs, as Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are gone and his only competition is a rookie and Josh Palmer. QJ could bust, but the upside is massive, and you’re not risking much at WR76.”
