6 Undervalued Players Available Late in Fantasy Football Best-Ball Drafts

Round 17: Anthony Miller

Overall ADP: 199
Positional ADP: WR75

The Chicago Bears traded into the second round of April's draft to select Memphis wide receiver Anthony Miller, giving up a fourth-round pick and a 2019 second-rounder. Miller, who will turn 24 during his rookie year, was one of the oldest receiving prospects in the draft, but he lands on an offense that will look drastically different than it did last year.

Following a 5-11 season, the Bears fired John Fox and brought in Matt Nagy. Nagy coached in Kansas City for the past four years, most recently serving as offensive coordinator the past two seasons. The Bears are expected to transition from one of the league's most run-heavy offense to a team that utilizes more spread formation concepts. That has been clearly indicated by their offseason moves.

Before they even drafted Miller, the Bears signed Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel, and Trey Burton, upgrading the weapons around Mitchell Trubisky. While these moves represent a lot of competition for targets in Chicago, it's not hard to see a path in which Miller emerges as the top option.

At Memphis, Miller was a mega-producer, posting 2 straight 1,400 yard seasons and scoring 32 touchdowns over his final 2 years. Miller missed some pre-draft workouts due to a foot injury, but the Bears seem confident in his health and have plans to make him the team's primary slot receiver.

Miller's competition for targets includes Robinson, who is coming off a torn ACL in 2017, which followed up a dismal 2016 season, and Gabriel, a wideout who hasn't topped 51 catches in the past 3 seasons. Burton is probably the biggest threat for targets, as he is a versatile tight end who can also run routes from the slot.

Like Gallup and the Cowboys, there's opportunity in a new-look wide receiving core in Chicago, and a rookie with a prolific college track record could emerge as the top option.
