Drake London, ATL 

Forget an elite QB - Drake London has yet to play with an AVERAGE QB. According to Player Profiler last year, Drake London was WR36 in catchable targets with only 73.4% of his targets being catchable. And he led the entire NFL in contested catches with 17. He was playing on hard mode. 

In comes Kirk Cousins, who has been a top five QB in yards per game passing among active QBs since becoming a starting QB in 2015. He’s supported mega star Justin Jefferson the last couple of years. I think London takes a big step year three which has historically been the breakout year for many wide receivers. 

Michael Pittman Jr, IND 

I’m honestly having a hard time figuring out what is not to like about Michael Pittman. He just finished WR14 in this format despite leaving Week 15 after 21 snaps with a serious injury and missing the following game. He plays virtually every snap (and at times literally every snap with four games with a 100% snap share). 

He’s the focal point of this pass attack with a 30.5% target share, the fourth highest of any WR. I guess the concern would be Anthony Richardson though, even in their very first NFL game together, Pittman had eight catches on 11 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown. He’s the WR21 off the board and I have no problem taking him in the second or third round even.

Amari Cooper, CLE 

Amari Cooper is an interesting case. I think many have a negative bias towards him because he was such a young prospect and had a rough start to his career, plagued with injuries. We want first round picks to start great and stay great. But Amari Cooper has quietly been pretty great - he has SEVEN 1,000 yard seasons in his career. And last year, even with backup QBs, he recorded his highest yardage total of his career.

This year Amari is clear top dog on Cleveland. Say what you will about Deshaun Watson but, if you sort all quarterbacks all time by fantasy points per game, he is top five. There is a real possibility Watson bounces back and Amari would be the main beneficiary. Amari still hasn't turned 30 yet - by my count there are at least six older wide receivers that come off the board before he does.

Chris Godwin, TB 

If I asked you who led the Buccaneers in receptions last year you’d probably say Mike Evans.But it was actually Chris Godwin with 83. He did so on his way to his third straight 1,000+ yard receiving season. 

And he did so dealing with neck soreness that bothered him starting in Week 8. If you notice, Godwin had multiple double-digit target games early on then was quiet for a bit starting Week 8 when this neck issue flared up then had back-to-back to back double-digit targets from Week 14 through 16. 

Evans will likely lead the team in receiving touchdowns again, but will the disparity be 13 for Evans and two for Godwin again? Hard to say. But Godwin currently goes off the board at WR41 and I think he outperforms his WR31 finish from last season easily. And just because we like Godwin doesn’t mean we don’t like Mike Evans either - draft them both!

Diontae Johnson, CAR 

There is a reason Johnson has averaged nearly nine targets a game over the last four years - he can create separation. And the Panthers offense has been desperate for that. With a new coaching staff and a beefed-up offensive line, Bryce Young could take a step forward and Johnson could be his WR1. He goes off the board at WR41 in the late 6th as of now. Rookie Xavier Leggette isn't going to change his upside even if he does hurt the targets for the other guys on the roster. The target pecking order starting with Johnson then trickles down to the rest
