The lack of wide receiver depth in Philadelphia forced Matthews’ slot rate to drop to 36.9-percent (No. 23) last season. With Jeffery and Smith now on the team, Matthews will comfortably revert back to his slot role.

Nelson Agholor’s Hog Rate was only 7.8-percent (No. 102). In other words, Agholor is barely targeted when on the field. Beyond a lack of usage, his lack of a rapport with Carson Wentz may have contributed to his 7.2-percent (No. 13) drop rate.

Even though the New York Jets have no shot at being competitive on a weekly basis, that doesn’t mean some of their players can’t be value picks in the later rounds of fantasy drafts. Garbage time stats count too, and the Jets should be experiencing plenty of garbage time this season.

While the low-BMI, hyper-svelte archetype hasn’t been a particularly successful one at the NFL level, Robby Anderson’s 10.17 (79th-percentile) Catch Radius, paired with 4.41 speed, affords him unique downfield play-making ability. He’s a Jerome Simpson-level field stretcher with explosiveness, who makes for an intriguing late-round dart throw if he can keep his head on straight.

Danny Woodhead was already the target of many fantasy football fans after his move from San Diego to Baltimore this offseason. Now the injury to Kenneth Dixon will only inflate his value and continue to drive up the price of Terrance West as well.

Kenneth Dixon’s injury does open a few opportunities and targets for both West and Woodhead but neither should be considered elite talents. Opportunity matters in Baltimore and theres a player available that likely see over touches in the Ravens offense.

Emmanuel Sanders looks like one of the best values at the position right now, being selected after players overvalued to do off season hype and trendy breakout picks. Locked in for a high volume of targets, he is a “set it and forget it” option in fantasy football leagues.

In his three seasons as a Bronco, Emmanuel Sanders has averaged 138 targets, 85 receptions, 1,190 yards and 6.6 touchdowns. Sanders’ overall production in that time has been nothing short of fantastic, putting him on a short list with some of the elite performers at the wide receiver position.

Keenan Allen’s best fantasy output was fueled by volume that lacked the high efficiency he had in his rookie season even though, and I can’t stress this enough, he will probably outperform his ADP.

In 2015, Sammy Watkins proved why he was the No. 4 pick in the NFL Draft. Watkins’ 2015 season was one of the most efficient seasons for a wide receiver in recent years with a +39.6 Production Premium (No. 2), +43.8-percent Target Premium (No. 2), and 10.9 yards per target (No. 1).

Kyle Juszczyk was exceptionally efficient with the touches he was given, evidenced by his +32.9 Production Premium in 2016. It’s a shame for the Baltimore Ravens never fully utilized his talents. That is about to change in San Francisco.

Kyle Juszczyk is more like a pumped up Rex Burkhead. Burkhead was a top fantasy back in Cincinnati when given a primary back responsibilities. Now imagine Burkhead with a better speed score, strength, and overall athleticism… Intrigued?

Stefon Diggs personifies the value of College Dominator Rating, and especially, Breakout Age. Diggs’ 18.6 (96th-percentile) Breakout Age was second to only Amari Cooper in the 2015 wide receiver class, yet he was drafted more than 150 picks later.

Diggs’ target volume and air yards indicates he is on the precipice of a ascendance to the NFL’s elite receivers. A strong overall advanced stats and metrics profile shows Diggs is a great fantasy value as the Vikings offense continues to improve in Sam Bradford’s second season with the team.

Drafted by their respective teams to be the future of the position, they ended up being a part of their present during their successful rookie seasons. While the consensus seems to favor Hunter Henry over Austin Hooper, when digging into the advanced stats and metrics, they don’t seem as far apart as their ADP suggests they should be.

When looking at Hunter Henry’s statistical profile, the first thing that immediately jumps out is the damage he did in the red zone. His 8 total touchdowns were the second most since Rob Gronkowski set the record in 2010.

If you were to add his first half production and multiply it to make up a full season he would have finished with 134 catches, 1,450 yards, and 8 TDs. That would have tied Odell Beckham for at No. 5 in the NFL in yards and he’d be behind only Julio Jones and Antonio Brown who both posted only 2 more catches at 136.

Whether you’re an analytics/metrics guy, a film guy, or an on-field performance guy, Keenan Allen checks all of the boxes. He’s just 25 years old and has a lot of football ahead of him. Don’t listen to the smoke about crowded roster. As long as he is on the field he will receive targets because he is one of the most talented WRs in the NFL.

Zach Ertz and Hunter Henry have strikingly similar profiles. Ertz is essentially a 26-year-old Hunter Henry with less competition for tight end targets. Antonio Gates sits in front of Henry on the depth chart, which has lowered Henry’s 2017 ceiling. Because of this, Ertz looks like a better value heading into 2017 drafts.

Hunter Henry zealots have reason to get excited about Henry, so what you should be doing is putting offers in for Zach Ertz wherever you can. Let them drive Henry’s price up and catfight over him while you acquire Ertz on the low.
