After opening the 2020 season with 90 or more yards in seven of his first eight games, Metcalf has hit that arbitrary mark in just four of 25 games since. Here are four fantasy football sleepers who could bolster your team. Collins had 33 receptions on 61 targets for 446 receiving yards and a touchdown as a rookie. Mooney has limitations in becoming a full-fledged alpha (he was dead last in contested catch rate among qualifying receivers in 2021), but theres an easy path to seeing Mooney smoke everyone in this tier in the short-term target volume. Corey Davis (27.6) Aiyuk played just 66% of the team snaps through six games, catching nine passes total over that span. is probably the safest here, but he has also turned in WR38 and WR41 scoring seasons per game the past two seasons as his receptions and yardage per game have dropped from the previous year in both. Designed by CWP Design Studio and Managed by Strategic Websites. The first and obvious pro is that Thomas remained a target magnet. Claypools lack of jump was not entirely Roethlisberger related, which is what makes him an intriguing case moving forward. Joining the Rams, Robinson landed in a spot that will prevent him from being a target hog, but will provide him fantasy friendly opportunities for the first time in his career. Boats and Throws traded: WR Nico Collins, HOU. No wide receiver has had a season like the one Deebo Samuel had this past year. Lynn Bowden (23.9) Mike Strachan (25.1) McLaurin still has a lot of meat left on the bone, but he is older than most players heading into their fourth season and Washington still has a gaping question mark under center to correct before they end up squandering the upside McLaurin has through his apex years. I have mentioned before that Smith-Schusters early career reminds me a lot like Randall Cobb, where we have been chasing that early-career ride, but now we can finally officially gain clarity on how much the Pittsburgh passing game impacted his decline. Thomas received a gaudy 32.1% of the team targets with seven or more targets in every game but one (which also happened to be the infamous Kendall Hinton game).

Davante Adams (29.7) Deebo Samuel (26.6) Mecole Hardman (24.5) Smith (64-916-5) proved he can be lead receiver with a diverse route tree right away as he demonstrated in college. Michael Thomas (29.5) Just 50.7% of Golladays targets were catchable (lowest rate in the league) while 41.3% of his targets were contested catches (the highest rate in the league). still averaged 14.0 yards per catch, 9.0 yards per target, and was 25th in yards per route run (1.84), so he can still play. There is still a lot of unknown surrounding Calvin Ridley after he left the Falcons after appearing in five games this past season due to mental health issues and potentially not wanting to be a part of the team in the first place while he been suspended for the entire 2022 season due to gambling on games while away from the team. This is a tier of wideouts I am always looking to buy in leagues with established rosters because these players cannot do a lot to improve their market value moving forward due to age while also moving past the most expensive point of their career.

Christian Watson (23.6) Fuller was only able to land a one-year deal last offseason coming off his best NFL season, so we are likely looking at a prove-it situation in free agency this season. Higgins is the first wide receiver here that is clearly not the best wide receiver on his own team, but after Higgins returned from injury in Week 5, he posted an 82-1,282-6 line on 125 targets over his final 16 games played with JaMarr Chase while Chase notched 87-1,500-10 on 134 targets.

The addition of Josh McDaniels will surely draw a number of plusses for many gamers given the success of slot receivers in his system, but his splits with and without Waller paired with. Kadarius Toney (23.6) Even if Odell Beckham returns, he will also be coming off a major injury. Mike Williams (27.9). I am more than skeptical on Moores ceiling from a fantasy stance, but Moore still carries plenty of pedigree and raft capital to have increased usage in year two and find his way as a full-PPR contributor. as he set career-highs in targets (129), receptions (76), and yardage (1,146) to go along with nine touchdowns.

Kadarius Toney had the most Kadarius Toney rookie season we could have gotten based on his collegiate profile. He averaged six PPR fantasy points per game last season.

Dynasty Outlook Collins is a mid to late third-rounder in rookie only drafts and is going in the 17th round of startups. Since entering the league, Kyler Murray has completed 41.5% (34/82) of his passes of 30-plus air yards, highest rate in the league (league is 30.3%). But the upside remains intact with the addition of Russell Wilson to recapture his offseason value from last year. Dallas has yet to really settle on a role for Lamb but has primarily played him out of the slot to open his career when they have a full roster at their disposal. The addition of Josh McDaniels will surely draw a number of plusses for many gamers given the success of slot receivers in his system, but his splits with and without Waller paired with the addition of Davante Adams to put some squeeze on his ceiling. 2021 provided no further clarity on JuJu Smith-Schuster potentially bouncing back as he appeared in just five games due to a shoulder injury.
