Fantasy Football Betting Online: There is so much emphasis spent on nailing the first few rounds of fantasy drafts, and for good reason, as stars can help carry a team to victory. However, deep sleepers are very important as well, as finding a diamond in the rough in the later rounds can help owners win a league in fantasy football wagering.
Wide receiver is a key position in fantasy football as the NFL continues to become a passing league. There are stars like Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, Jr. and Julio Jones who will be selected early on, but there are plenty of players worth fliers later on.
Saints rookie Michael Thomas is one of the more intriguing late-round selections. The team spent a high pick on him in the draft and he is expected to pair with Brandin Cooks as the main receiving threat for star quarterback Drew Brees. Willie Snead and tight end Coby Fleener are other weapons on the team, but Thomas has a lot of natural ability and can put up some big points for a team at a low cost.
Steelers wideout Sammie Coates seems to be a boom-or-bust candidate. The team had three big-time receivers in Brown, Markus Wheaton and Martavis Bryant earlier in the offseason, but Bryant was handed a season-long suspension, which suddenly makes Coates a viable target in fantasy. The Steelers offense should be explosive and Coates could be a nice piece as a bye week replacement.
The Bengals lost Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu in free agency this offseason, while tight end Tyler Eifert could miss some time due to injury. A.J. Green is the star wideout for quarterback Andy Dalton and Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill are the backbone of a solid rushing attack. However, there are more targets available, and Tyler Boyd could be the one to step in and grab them. He seems primed to take over the No. 2 receiver role, which means a late-pick could cash in nicely.
The Patriots are without star quarterback Tom Brady for the first four games of the season, so every pass-catched on the team will take a hit because of that. But when he gets back, he will make the passing game hum. Tight end Rob Gronkowski is a superstar and wideout Julian Edelman is another valuable piece. Martellus Bennett will also get some catches, but Chris Hogan was signed in the offseason to be an option for Brady. While there are a lot of weapons, Hogan may be able to solidify himself as a top target, which could mean fantasy glory.
These are four of the top wide receiver fantasy deep sleepers, but there are plenty of others worth a flier. Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess, Colts wide receiver Phillip Dorsett and Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell are some of the other players who may be able to find themselves a solid role as the season progresses. Some of these players may take a while to break out, but be patient with them as they could turn into big-time fantasy players as late-round picks in fantasy football wagering.
