While most look towards the incoming rookie classes, I like to look at players that are already showing signs of production in the league. We’ve all had those rookies that didn’t pan out, and maybe you cut bait on them a little early, only to see them become a valuable asset later on. This series will attempt to identify those players.

Are wide receivers from a bad offense who score the most fantasy points good long term fantasy assets? Though that seems intuitive, I wanted to take a look past history to see what could be deduced from the information. Gathering data is instructive. You start out looking for one thing, but you never know what you will find once you begin to parse the data.

The word for awhile has been all about how crazy talented the skill position groups are for the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft. I was honestly skeptical of it at first glance, but it isn’t until I settled in to watch these players that I realized that it could be a historic class. The headliner group is the wide receiver group. In both fantasy and real football, wide receivers are becoming more and more valuable due to the increase in passing efficiency and new offenses of the era. I was impressed by the 2019 class because it not only had a definite superstar candidate in DK Metcalf, but it also had depth. Last year’s class was an insanely deep group of talented wide receivers. There were 28 total wide receivers drafted with about 23 undrafted players I gave a draftable grade to. It was a phenomenally deep class of players. The 2020 group beats it. I don’t mean simply beat, I mean outclassed in a 2003 Oklahoma-Texas A&M style blowout. Not only does this class have superstar talents, it has *several*. It was so difficult to narrow down the list to just ten players for this article, and several others could have made their case for it. I released my 6-10 list article here.

It was so difficult to narrow down the list to just ten players for this article, and several others could have made their case for it. To properly narrow down this list and give each player their due justice, I had to split this thing in half.Here is my WRs from 10-6:10. Tylan Wallace, Oklahoma StateOklahoma State has a history of producing NFL caliber wide receivers in recent history, with guys like Dez Bryant, Justin Blackmon, and James Washington being taken high in their respective drafts. Tylan Wallace will join that list soon. Wallace is an explosive athlete and a phenom in contested catch situations with great body control.He’ll need to cut down on his drop numbers, but his QB Taylor Cornelius didn’t deliver him an accurate ball most of the time. Being an Oklahoma State product, his routes are fairly limited, but there are traits for him to build off of to become successful in this area.Pro Comp: Paul Richardson, Washington RedskinsBest Fit: New Orleans SaintsThe Saints wide receivers are Michael Thomas and a bunch of guys. Ted Ginn is effective but aging, and we’re still waiting for signs of life from former 3rd rounder Tre’Quan Smith. Tylan Wallace would be a great fit in Sean Payton’s offense as a deep threat as a Z or even in the slot. With Thomas dominating and altering the defense, Tylan’s explosiveness and contested catch ability would be a mismatch.

Ask anyone in the dynasty community and most will say Saquon Barkley(NYG- RB), Christian McCaffrey (CAR – RB), Alvin Kamara (NO – RB) or Ezekiel Elliot (DAL – RB) are going in the top four in dynasty startup drafts. There is an argument for all four to go 1.01. If your league is 2 QB or superflex, then Patrick Mahomes (KC – QB) is another player that will be in consideration for the 1.01. All of these players are great choices and I am not telling you to pass on these guys if you are in love with them. One thing I noticed when looking at the most recent Dynasty Football Factory ADP is that there are zero wide receivers going in the top three in single quarterback startup dynasty drafts. Hopkins has the current best ADP for dynasty startups with 3.5. Why are receivers being passed on? I am here to tell you why you should draft a WR as your top asset. More specifically, I will discuss why DeAndre Hopkins (HOU – WR) should be your 1.01 in dynasty startup drafts!

With most dynasty rookie drafts wrapped up and training camps still a few weeks away, June is a great time to start evaluating your dynasty roster for 2019 and beyond. With that in mind, below is a deep dive on three wideouts I’m actively looking to target this summer. All three are guys who could easily outperform the cost of the acquisition this preseason, and perhaps start paying off as early as 2019.
Robert Foster – Buffalo Bills

The Los Angeles Rams offense is a juggernaut for fantasy points.
