Wide receivers

This is an interesting position for the Packers.

Of course, Davante Adams needs no introduction. He’s going in the first round of fantasy drafts for a reason. He’s one of the most consistent fantasy performers each year, with double-digit touchdowns in each of the past three seasons. Adams is also coming off his first 1,000-yard season.

Adams would make a great choice in the opening couple of rounds.

Geronimo Allison is one of Aaron Rodgers’ favorite targets, and now that he’s the primary option in the slot, he could be set for a big year. Considering Allison’s upside, he’s a player to target around the eighth or ninth round. Rather than going for a solid starter, I’d be willing to take a risk and opt for Allison, whose upside is sky high.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling‘s ADP is rising, and for good reason. He looks set to secure a starting position opposite Davante Adams, and MVS continues to receive praise from his teammates. Valdes-Scantling has the talent to make a big jump in his second season, and he could be one of Rodgers’ top targets in LaFleur’s offense.

According to Fantasy Football Calculator, his ADP is in the ninth round. A starting wide receiver in a potentially very good offense in the later rounds of the draft? That’s great value. MVS is a player to target in fantasy drafts.
