2021 Fantasy Football Value Wide Receivers (Aug. 31):
This is a list of my favorite 2021 fantasy football value wide receivers. These are fantasy players who aren’t quite sleepers – i.e. they’re being drafted in Rounds 5-9 instead of the final few rounds – but they’re going way later than they should in fantasy football drafts. The Average Draft Position (ADP) is found on FantasyFootballCalculator.com.
Fantasy Football Value Quarterbacks | Fantasy Football Value Running Backs
-
Chase Claypool, WR, Steelers. ADP: 6.07.
I forgot just how dominant Chase Claypool was last year prior to re-watching the 2020 season. Claypool is a monster, and he should only get better in his second season. The conditions could be better – Pittsburgh lost several offensive linemen this offseason – but I still like Claypool as a top-20 fantasy receiver, especially with Ben Roethlisberger looking like his former self in his only preseason action.
-
Diontae Johnson, WR, Steelers. ADP: 5.12.
I’m a big fan of Diontae Johnson as well. I hope to get one of the two in the sixth round. Again, Roethlisberger looked amazing in his sole preseason game, which bodes well for Johnson.
-
Jerry Jeudy, WR, Broncos. ADP: 7.04.
The Broncos are guaranteed to have better quarterbacking this year, whether that’s from Drew Lock’s improvement or Teddy Bridgewater’s presence. Meanwhile, Courtland Sutton hasn’t fully recovered from last season’s injury. Jerry Jeudy is going to have a huge year.
-
Antonio Brown, WR, Buccaneers. ADP: 7.11.
Antonio Brown is the third receiver on the Buccaneers, but he’s just one injury away from being one of the top wideouts in an elite offense. He’s well worth a late seventh-round pick.
-
Robby Anderson, WR, Panthers. ADP: 8.07.
The Panthers will have a new quarterback under center, but we won’t have to worry about Robby Anderson needing to develop chemistry with him. Anderson will be reuniting with Sam Darnold, which has to be seen as a positive because the two played well together while with the Jets.
