Dynasty Football Fan

Offense wins in fantasy football and it’s no different in a dynasty league.  One of the challenges in the dynasty format is filling every starting spot with a quality option and no position is harder to do that with then the Wide Receiver position.  It helps if you have 2 WR starters and a flex, but if you have 3 WR starters on your squad, it’s very difficult to find quality 3rd receivers, especially ones that could develop into WR2s or WR1s in the future.

Here are 5 soon to be rookie wide receivers that are not in the top 5 rankings and would be easy to choose with big future upside.

1. Tommie Streeter – Miami (Fla.) –  here’s a surprise junior that came out despite very few stats.  He didn’t do anything as a freshman or sophomore but had a decent junior year and bolted for the NFL.  Here’s the thing, he’s 6-4 and 215 pounds and allegedly runs a 4.4 40-yard dash.  If he can back those stats up and find himself on a team with a good quarterback (he’ll be chosen in the 3rd/4th round) he’s got the kind of potential that could develop into a #1 receiver by his third year.
2. T.Y. Hilton – FIU – Hilton was by far the best athlete on this team (which also happens to have it’s campus in Miami, Fl).  He’s small and shifty so he won’t be a dominant #1 guy in the future, but he could be a poor man’s Desean Jackson or Percy Harvin for sure.  He’s the kind of kid you want to give the ball to in space to let him break a tackle.  After a year or two in the bigs, he could develop into a solid #3 and potential #2 WR.
3. Dwight Jones – North Carolina – Another big WR (6-4, 225)  that had a great senior year with over 1,100 yards and 11 TDs.  He’s had some off the field issues that give him a question mark and he needs to improve his consistency and route running, so he won’t be a first rounder for sure, but with his size and production in college, he has what it takes to develop into a solid contributor.
4. Joe Adams – Arkansas – This guy is like Randall Cobb, small and fast with incredible return skills who most likely will develop a role, especially if he gets to a good offense.  He’s a bit small but he can be a Mike Wallace kind of guy if given the opportunity.  By the way, you have not lived until you’ve seen this punt return by Adams against Tennesee…

v.  Jeff Fuller – Texas A&M – Fuller is 6-4, 217 so he has the frame to be successful in the NFL, plus his          father played for the 49ers.  Fuller is inconsistent but productive so he’ll need to develop his concentration and hands a bit but if you can get him for cheap in a rookie draft, he could pay dividends down the road.
