The 5 Best Bets in the Late Rounds of Your Fantasy Football Draft
Sometimes the late rounds of a draft can feel like you’re taking shots in the dark. It’s time to shed some light on five late-round players you should be targeting.

Brian Hartline, WR, Miami Dolphins

Brian Hartline currently has an ADP of 14.04 in standard-scoring leagues, going as the 62nd receiver. Our rankings identify Hartline as solid value at this spot, as we have him projected to finish 37th.

Hartline has proven to be a paragon of consistency over the last two seasons, finishing 2012 with 74 receptions for 1,083 yards and 1 touchdown, and 2013 with 76 receptions for 1016 yards and 4 scores. In this two-year span, Hartline has accounted for almost a quarter (24.4%) of the Dolphins passing targets, and has displayed week-to-week consistency, falling below five targets in a game only twice since Week 13 of the 2011 season.

Hartline is also one of the most valuable tools in the Dolphins passing attack, leading the team in 2013 with a Reception NEP of 81.97, good for 25th in the league. This production compares favorably to more highly drafted players such as Wes Welker (27th in the league) and Victor Cruz (35th).
