Late-Round Fantasy Targets
We’ve heard people speculating who will be the next Puka Nacua all offseason. The correct answer is nobody. However, a better question is “Who are the Late-Round Fantasy Targets I should focus on in 2024?”
We don’t expect these choices to produce anywhere close to Nacua’s breakout rookie campaign. But many of these late-round targetsare worth stashing on the chance that they develop into quality fantasy producers in 2024.
Geno Smith (Seattle Seahawks) – I faded Smith last year. Predicting him to regress after his career year in 2022 was easy. However, Smith was solid down the stretch. posting three top-8 weekly finishes in Seattle’s final seven outings. Additionally, I’m a fan of the Seahawks’ new staff, who wants to push the pace. Smith is a solid QB2 who will post a handful of QB1 weeks.
Bo Nix (Denver Broncos) – Nix looks like the ideal fit in Sean Payton’s scheme. He excelled at short, accurate throws at Oregon, and that has continued through the summer. He is also an underrated runner. Nix’s ceiling is capped but he will be a quality QB2 right away.
Bryce Young (Carolina Panthers) – Dave Canales resurrected Baker Mayfield’s career in Tampa. This year, Canales will get to work his margin with last year’s No. 1 pick. The Panthers also spent a ton of free-agent money and draft capital to improve their supporting cast. Expect Young to rebound from his abysmal rookie campaign to contend for top-20 fantasy numbers.

Late-Round Sleeper WR to Target with League-Winning Potential
In FFWC World Championship Drafts, elite wide receivers dominate the first round due to the 3-WR and double-flex roster demand. In years past, fantasy managers went after workhorse running backs who received 15-20 carries per game and were featured in the passing game.
However, due to NFL teams transitioning to RBBC, drafting a roster stacked with wideout depth has become the predominant fantasy football roster construction philosophy.
Finding Late-Round WR Gems
In 2023, 12 WRs eclipsed 100 catches, while 18 WRs surpassed 1,100 receiving yards.
Last season wide receivers Nico Collins, Rashee Rice, Tank Dell, Puka Nacua, and Jayden Reed were all drafted in the double-digit rounds of drafts.
Let that sink in.
ALL of those players are coming off the board before the end of the 5th Round this year!
Targeting a late-round WR who can break out and outperform their ADP can lead to fantasy football glory. While Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, Ladd McConkey, and Rome Odunze demand high draft capital – ONE DEEP Sleeper with an ADP of 194.89 – is virtually free at the end of drafts!
