Today's article will identify two overvalued wide receivers and two undervalued wide receivers. One of this latter pair is the most undervalued player in fantasy drafts according to the combination of his TFP and Average Draft Position.
Below is a table showing David Dodds' projections, TFP, and their difference for 59 wide receivers who meet the following criteria:
- They're on the same team as they were last season.
- They're projected for at least 300 "opportunities," which is defined as rushing attempts plus routes run.
