Late-Round PPR Draft Values
Curtis Samuel (WR – BUF)
Curtis Samuel has been one of those players throughout his career you grab late in your drafts who becomes a dependable Flex option. In five seasons where he’s played at least 13 games, he’s averaged at least 10 points per game in four of them.
He’s coming into a familiar situation with Joe Brady as his offensive coordinator. Brady lined him up everywhere, including the backfield when they were in Carolina. With almost an all-new receiving core in Buffalo, Samuel could become a dependable target for Josh Allen.
Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)
Ladd McConkey became one of the more popular wide receiver prospects during the draft and was selected by Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers. He could become a prominent piece in this offense, which let Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler go and traded Keenan Allen away. Quentin Johnston is there, but he struggled last season with drops and continued to do so in training camp.
McConkey has quick feet, can accelerate downfield and run proficient routes. Amongst a group of pieces that haven’t been consistent, the second-round draft pick could become the reliable piece Justin Herbert needs.
Josh Downs (WR – IND)
Josh Downs had a solid rookie year with 771 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Not terrible for someone who played with a backup quarterback for most of the season. Expectations are high with Anthony Richardson back.
Downs should only be behind Michael Pittman in target share, but with how Richardson plays, he should see the ball a lot. He’s highly mobile. He’s going to look for the quick option when on the run, which should be Downs in the slot.
He had the ability last season to gain yards as he averaged 11.3 yards per reception and a stellar 5.5 yards after contact.
Darnell Mooney (WR – ATL)
Darnell Mooney’s talent was wasted in Chicago because he never had a reliable quarterback and the Bears were a run-heavy team the last few years. The move to Atlanta and a better offense will be just what he needs.
He won’t be relied on as the first option with Drake London, and he claims the slot position. Last season, he had a catchable target rate of 53.3%, which ranked 99th but ranked ninth with a catch rate of 96.9%.
Kirk Cousins will be the best quarterback he’s ever had and he can be a plug-and-play option when you need him. He’s a solid dart throw with a 203 overall fantasy ADP.
