Of all the offensive positions in fantasy football, wide receivers have the safest floors. They are less injury prone than running backs, receive more targets than tight ends, and are more predictable than fantasy quarterbacks. The top tier wide receivers are always very safe early round fantasy draft selections.<\/p>\n
But after roughly the first 20 wide receivers, it becomes much more difficult to project season long production. Therefore, it is important to handicap the third wide receivers on each team and take advantage of their low fantasy draft cost.<\/p>\n
Here are the best team WR3s to strongly consider selecting with a late round draft pick.<\/p>\n
(All statistics from PlayerProfiler<\/a>).<\/p>\n 10. \u00a0Nelson Agholor<\/a><\/strong> (ADP 225\/WR77): Opportunity trumps all, and Philadelphia<\/a>‘s Nelson Agholor has one of the best in fantasy football. The departure of Jordan Matthews<\/a> <\/strong>moves Agholor into a starting slot receiver role that will be peppered with targets by second-year quarterback Carson Wentz<\/a><\/strong>. Matthews averaged 115.3 targets and 75 receptions each of the last three seasons, which should give Agholor a fantasy WR3 floor. His target competition consists of the oft-injured Alshon Jeffery<\/a> and “feast or famine” Torrey Smith<\/a>, neither of which should be a concern to fantasy drafters. Agholor has been a disappointment in Philadelphia during his first two seasons, but his 2017 fantasy opportunity makes him well worth a late round draft pick.<\/p>\n 9. J.J. Nelson<\/strong> (ADP 210\/WR71): There is a lot of talk in Cardinals’<\/a> camp about just who\u00a0is the team’s third wide receiver. With Larry Fitzgerald<\/a><\/strong> the clear number one, and John Brown<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0battling durability concerns as the number two, J.J. Nelson<\/a> and his 4.28 speed is the logical third choice.<\/p>\n Deep Sleeper: JJ Nelson<\/p>\n Top 7 Fantasy WR in final 4 weeks of last season. https:\/\/t.co\/cBwK7h8Tmx<\/a><\/p>\n — Mike Dente (@1stStopFantasy) August 15, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nWho is the Best WR3 in Fantasy Football?<\/h1>\n
