Pinpointing the top-tier pass catchers in fantasy football is relatively straightforward. The average draft position (ADP) of elite players like Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Brock Bowers makes their value clear. These athletes are game-changers.
However, unearthing value among wide receivers and tight ends during drafts can prove to be a tougher task. Depending on your draft strategy, you may be in search of someone capable of delivering week-winning performances or simply a reliable pass catcher for consistent production.
Here’s a list of 10 undervalued pass catchers this summer, categorized by those who possess exciting potential and those who offer a more secure fantasy floor.
Current ADP: 83.8 (WR30)
This summer, Williams has been a key target in my mock drafts. The Lions have appointed a new playcaller, John Morton, but I don’t foresee a complete overhaul of their offensive system, including the routes for Williams. Last season, he achieved a vertical route rate of 41.1% and ran crossing routes at 13.3%. This ability allows him to generate significant plays for the offense.
Despite receiving limited end zone targets (only four last season), Williams averaged 14.4 PPG and had standout weeks with four games scoring 22 or more points. With a potential increase in volume, he could very well ascend to WR2 status this season.
Current ADP: 84.0 (WR31)
Calvin Ridley has notched consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons with different teams and is now under the guidance of rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. Ridley’s potential is closely tied to Ward, a talented and precise thrower. Last season, despite a lackluster Titans quarterback situation, he still managed over 1,000 receiving yards and 19 receptions of 20 yards or more.
To maximize his fantasy output, Ridley will need more end zone targets (only four last season). However, he has the skills to run routes at all levels, making him a candidate for WR2 production in Brian Callahan’s offense.
Current ADP: 117.7 (WR46)
With Deebo Samuel now with Washington and Brandon Aiyuk still recovering from an ACL injury, Pearsall has a prime opportunity to shine in a well-structured 49ers offense. Last season, he scored 17 or more points in three out of seven games, displaying his potential.
Pearsall averaged 23.8 fantasy points over the last two weeks of the season, proving he can capitalize on opportunities. Given his skill set, he’s positioned as a solid middle-round pick with breakout potential.
Current ADP: 120.8 (TE11)
If you prefer to wait on tight ends during drafts, consider targeting Loveland. This rookie demonstrated impressive receiving skills at Michigan, racking up 117 receptions over three seasons. His versatility and ability to separate from defenders make him a valuable asset in Chicago’s revamped offense.
Though rookie tight ends come with risks, Loveland’s potential to score in the red zone and his new offensive scheme under head coach Ben Johnson are enticing factors for fantasy managers.
Current ADP: 162.1 (WR59)
Mims is an intriguing late-round option in 12-team leagues. While he averaged only 7.6 PPG last season, he found double-digit fantasy production in four of his last seven games. His speed and ability to evade defenders can lead to impressive performances if he receives more targets.
Current ADP: 69.6 (WR26)
Flowers may present some challenges given the Ravens’ offensive dynamics and his limited touchdown production last season. Nevertheless, he can serve as a dependable WR3 who consistently gains targets. His average of 12.2 fantasy PPG, along with anticipated 100-plus targets this year, highlights his value.
Current ADP: 97.2 (TE9)
Engram’s transition to Denver signifies an opportunity for growth. Last season, he averaged 9.9 PPG with the Jaguars, and his skill set makes him a matchup nightmare for defenses. With a more efficient offense and quarterback play, he can deliver consistent fantasy points.
Current ADP: 107.0 (WR43)
Shakir has shown promise, setting career highs in receptions and yards last season. While he may not be a high-volume target, his consistent performance and ability to create after the catch make him a valuable asset.
Current ADP: 108.1 (WR44)
Meyers boasts a solid average of 14.4 PPG and has shown he can be a dependable target. Despite potential competition for targets, his ability to find space and make plays keeps him relevant in fantasy lineups.
Current ADP: 168.7 (WR66)
Robinson has firmly established himself as a slot receiver in the Giants’ offense, making him a late-round target. His knack for creating separation and gaining yards after the catch gives him a solid floor, making him a reliable option for fantasy managers.
As we prepare for the fantasy football season, recognizing undervalued players can be a game changer. These pass catchers not only offer intriguing upside but also stable contributions that can make or break your lineup. Keep an eye on these potential stars as the season unfolds!
