Malachi Corley is another I like. Probably Mid 3rd round of rookie drafts, 4th will be to late.

Puka is a unicorn. He broke rookie records as a late round rookie. Meaning, he did stuff rookies taken in the top 10 of the NFL draft haven't done before. Let alone a late round pick. But, Javon Baker is definitely one of those who can be much more successful than his draft slot dictates.

QB: Jordan Love/Dak Prescott/Aidan O'Connell

RB: Jonathan Taylor/Isaih Pacheco/Zamir White/Jonathan Brooks/Kendre Miller/Tyrone Tracy/Bucky Irving/Pierre Strong/Dylan Laube

Right. And when I started this thread I didn't mean we were going to find a fourth-round WR that turned in a record-setting year, more like who in the 4th is a flier you think can greatly outperform their ADP. Lots of great names being tossed around.

Two thoughts, he'll start as WR3 so that's not nothing. How old is Tyreek? He can't play forever. Add in Waddle injuries and you have a path to playtime. IDK. That's what I was thinking.

When Hill retires, they'll just draft a WR in the first.

Also, I think it's very optimistic to believe he's starting as the WR3. The Dolphins depth chart after their stars isn't scary, but he is still a 6th round rookie.

Keep in mind that the Dolphins currently have one of the most fantasy irrelevant WR3 roles in the NFL.

Targets:
Hill - 171
Waddle - 104
Smythe - 43, played 16 games
Wilson - 38, played 15 games
Berrios - 33, played 16 games

Washington needs a season ending injury to one of the top stars to be relevant.

That's pretty harsh. Doesn't he have just 2 years experience and I remember year 1 being pretty monstrous.

Ask Waddle owners about him. It's not "only 4 missed games." He's in and out of the game All. The. Time.

I’ll throw a vote out for Ainias Smith out of Texas A&M.

Looks to me like an under the radar good WR who people are not paying attention to. I drafted him at 5.06 in a 14 team 1QB graduated ppr IDP league.

Drafted in the 5th round by PHI, he’s got serious competition for targets. That can be a blessing as well, because if he fits into the slot there he’s going to draw lesser coverage as teams strive to take away their outside WRs. He’s built solidly, runs good routes and is very willing to work the middle of the field. He achieves good separation with his sharpness of routes and sudden breaks. Once he gets the ball in his hands he’s just flat put fun to watch as he changes directions on a dime, uses a variety of jukes, sets up blockers and sees seams open during pursuit that has him making crazy angle changes that provide whole new avenues to get further downfield.

He’s taken snaps out of the backfield and can absorb carries here and there. He’s also a returner for leagues that give points for that. He broke his leg in 2022 that seemed to take a little for him to recover from last year, but he regained his form in the second half of the year. There’s also some character questions that added to his falling to Rd 5. He’s a great dart throw later in your league. If you get a chance, pull up his highlight film and enjoy the show.
