Fantasy Football: 8 Players to Target in the Last Round of Your Draft
If you're looking to find serious value in the final rounds of your fantasy football draft, keep in mind these eight players, including wide receiver Tyler Lockett.

Darren Sproles, RB, Philadelphia Phillies

Average Draft Position (ADP): 187

Pick/Round: 16.07

Every year, Darren Sproles is seemingly displaced by a new commodity, regardless of what team he is on.

And every year, we sleep on him -- evidenced by his rock-bottom ADP -- and he continues to produce. For eight consecutive seasons, Sproles has finished as a top-30 running back in PPR formats, yet he's going in the 16th round of drafts today.

With LeGarrette Blount signing a deal in the offseason, it made sense yet again that we'd ignore Sproles. But it's not like he was bad last season -- he recorded a top-20 Rushing NEP per attempt of 0.06, while adding 52 catches to his resume. That makes eight consecutive seasons of 40 receptions or more.

He's a dependable player that is consistently involved in the offense, making him a great value given where he's going off the board.
