The 3 best buy low wide receivers for fantasy football

by John Miller, September 26, 2018

While Allen Robinson’s ceiling is capped by Trubisky’s struggles, his volume gives him a steady floor as he continues to build confidence in his knee after a year away from football and rapport with Trubisky after missing all of training camp and preseason rehabilitating that knee. 

Corey Davis’ 30-percent Target Share ranks No. 9 among qualified wide receivers, and his Total Target Distance Share ranks among the top-15 NFL receivers. In 2017, every fantasy WR1 achieved a 20-plus-percent Target Share, and furthermore, only two receivers crested a 30-percent target share (Antonio Brown and DeAndre Hopkins), and each scored greater than 20.0 fantasy points per game last season.

by Ray Marzarella, September 9, 2018

A key to winning consistently in fantasy football is identifying potential breakouts before they happen. Stashing players that would become hot adds with a big game before any of your competitors have a chance to acquire them is a winning strategy in any format.

by Ryan Lopes, September 1, 2018

David Njoku is a SPARQ freak who averaged 11+ yards after the catch per reception at the college level, and his professional usage should steadily rise in 2018. Very active through two weeks in the preseason. Buy plus-athletes in improving offenses.

Evan Engram is an elite athlete who produced a dominant-at-times rookie season largely due to injuries across the Giants’ roster. Will still be a factor, but safe to temper expectations with everyone starting the season healthy.
