    Romeo Doubs to outplay his draft cost (the middle rounds)

    I still envision Doubs as a WR3 play, but his upside warrants consideration in the middle rounds as a dart throw worth investing in.

    Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (a late-round value)

    Washington is somehow slipping in drafts as a late-round value... He’s a favorite WR3 target for me in drafts this year.

    Wan'Dale Robinson to outplay his draft cost (WR43 in our rankings)

    Dismissing last season as a fluke has caused his ADP to plummet and his ranking to slip; currently, we have him pegged at WR43 in our rankings. Much like Rodney Dangerfield, Robinson is currently getting no respect, and it is high time for to change.

    Malik Washington to outplay his draft cost (WR74)

    Washington is the first Dolphins wideout listed on our ECR as a mid-tier 7 option, at WR74. I understand the hesitation, but the upside alone presents a massive return on investment

    De'Zhaun Stribling to outplay his draft cost (WR64)

    KC Concepcion (WR51), Omar Cooper (WR59), and Denzel Boston (WR60) are next in line, and I would bet on De’Zhaun Stribling (WR64) jumping that trio, or at least Cooper.

    this is why Jayden Higgins (WR53) and Matthew Golden (WR47) stand out as undervalued.

    Rico Dowdle to outplay his draft cost (ADP 58 Overall, RB29)

    the familiarity with McCarthy and recent success suggests Dowdle has a stronger path to taking over the backfield and out producing his ADP.

    Jonah Coleman to outplay his draft cost (ADP 143 Overall, RB47)

    Rookie Jonah Coleman is a dart throw ... but I believe he will be involved alongside JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

    Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost (ADP 113 Overall, RB41)

    Mason may very well be in line for a big workload in an offense that’s expected to put up more points this season, making him a value at his ADP of RB41.

    Corum offers plenty of standalone value but also possesses massive contingency upside. Those are the bets you should be taking with a zero RB strategy.

    Kenny Gainwell to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 100)

    A consistent receiving role with occasional spikes in usage makes him one of the better mid- to late-round running back values on the board.

    Watson has the potential to be special. And his current cost assumes he'll miss a few games. With a season of good health, Watson investors could reap handsome rewards.
