6 Wide Receivers to Target Late in Your Fantasy Football Drafts
There are plenty of usable wide receivers dropping off fantasy draft boards way too late. Let's look at six of them.

Tajae Sharpe, Tennessee Titans

The product out of the University of Massachusetts, Tajae Sharpe, is basically going undrafted in most fantasy drafts, but he's showing an early connection with Titans quarter back Marcus Mariota. Sharpe has led the Titans in receiving through the first three preseason games, and logged 6 catches for 68 yards in a single half of work last week.

While preseason statistics don't simply translate to regular season production, the Titans seem to have faith in the rookie wideout, as they traded wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham to the Eagles this month. From an opportunity perspective, he should be lining up alongside Kendall Wright, Rishard Matthews and Delanie Walker, and could see plenty of action with the first team.

The Titans defense should also provide Sharpe and the Titans offense plenty of opportunities, as they allowed the sixth-most points in the NFL last season at 26.4 points per game. Entering this year, our numbers rank the Tennessee defense as a bottom-10 one this year. So while the team may want to run the football, they may not be able to due to negative game scripts.

Sharpe has sneaky upside in 2016.
