Brock Purdy to outplay his draft cost (Round 10)

I was taking the esteemed "Mr. very relevant" Brock Purdy (my annual favorite sleeper QB)... So let's say I wait until Round 10 (still a tad early for me, but let's go with it) and nobody has chosen my beloved Purdy. I think he is a worthy weekly fantasy starter

Bo Nix to outplay his draft cost (beyond Round 8)

Given that, when waiting until the 10th round, I'm taking two quarterbacks -- and, if it's Purdy first, I'm taking Nix as his partner.

McLaurin is a someone you should select often as your WR2 at his current ADP.

Makai Lemon to outplay his draft cost (a favorable average draft position)

A.J. Brown's departure gives first-round pick Makai Lemon an opportunity to emerge as the Philadelphia Eagles' No. 2 receiver and provide flex value at a favorable average draft position.

Jack Bech to outplay his draft cost (the late rounds)

This season's Michael Wilson/Parker Washington: Jack Bech ... The player out of TCU is an interesting Hail Mary flier in the late rounds.

Terrance Ferguson to outplay his draft cost (late-round availability on draft day)

This season's Harold Fannin Jr./Oronde Gadsden II: Terrance Ferguson ... he fits our description due to his late-round availability on draft day.

Jalen Nailor to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 169.7)

Throwing a dart his way might be speculative, but as the final pick of your draft, the risk is negligible.

Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 96.0)

The upside is undeniable. Thankfully, the volatility is baked into his current 10th-round ADP.

Greg Dulcich to outplay his draft cost (ADP: Undrafted)

given that he is going undrafted in most leagues, Dulcich is a zero-risk dart throw for managers looking to wait at the position

Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 156.9)

Given this tailor-made environment, Shough stands out as a top late-round target primed for a breakout season.

Keaton Mitchell to outplay his draft cost (not being selected among the top 100 picks in fantasy football drafts)

But this also creates opportunity for Mitchell, if he can earn the No. 2 role in the backfield.

Jaylin Noel to outplay his draft cost (not being selected among the top 100 picks in fantasy football drafts)

Noel's quickness and run-after-the-catch ability could earn him an eventual space in the starting lineup or perhaps regular work out of the slot

Jaydon Blue to outplay his draft cost (not being selected among the top 100 picks in fantasy football drafts)

Because I see pro traits with Blue, and he has a path to win the No. 2 role behind Javonte Williams in a Dallas offense that scores points.

Dontayvion Wicks to outplay his draft cost (not being selected among the top 100 picks in fantasy football drafts)

Wicks now moves to Philadelphia, where opportunity -- and a prospective path to prominence -- is clearer.

Ryan Flournoy to outplay his draft cost (not being selected among the top 100 picks in fantasy football drafts)

Flournoy is a plenty talented receiver in his own right, and one who could seamlessly step into one of the game's more well-rounded offenses if injuries arise.

Sean Tucker to outplay his draft cost (not being selected among the top 100 picks in fantasy football drafts)

He'll play an important role in what will likely be a committee-oriented backfield... Tucker has a potentially critical advantage over either as the best fit to be a power back.

Isaac TeSlaa to outplay his draft cost (not being selected among the top 100 picks in fantasy football drafts)

So, let's keep the second-year wide receiver on the radar. There's potential upside here in one of the league's most explosive offenses. -- Bowen

Pat Bryant to outplay his draft cost (not being selected among the top 100 picks in fantasy football drafts)

he has the traits to be a productive player in deeper formats if he can find an opening to jump into the wide receiver rotation on a consistent basis this season
