5 Late-Round Wide Receivers to Target in Fantasy Football Drafts in 2015
John Brown, Arizona Cardinals
Bye Week: 9
Season: 2nd
ADP: 141 (WR55)
If you owned a piece of the Arizona Cardinals passing game last season, you were likely disappointed.
With Father Time catching up to him, Larry Fitzgerald continued the downslope of an elite career at wide receiver, mustering just 63 receptions and a 67.1 Reception NEP in 2014. And following a great deal of preseason hype, Michael Floyd ended the season as a supreme disappointment with 8 games of two or fewer receptions, topping the 100-yard receiving mark just three times all year.
But what about John Brown? Despite the turmoil and disappointment that was the Arizona Cardinals 2014 season, John Brown still found a way to exceed expectations.
Brown possesses a build and skill set eerily reminiscent of another former Arians pupil, T.Y. Hilton. When watching him on film, Brown also flashes hints of Marvin Harrison in his game, with an adept ability to use subtle movements and superior footwork to break away from defenders.
Coaches in Arizona have been praising Brown's abilities ever since the moment he arrived at Cardinals' facilities during least year's OTAs. And with a skillset that fits in perfectly with Bruce Arians' play calling, and on the heels of reports of continued improvement over the past offseason, John Brown could very well lead this team in receiving in 2015.
With an ADP of 141, John Brown is currently going undrafted in most leagues and can likely be had with your final picks of the draft. Not a bad deal for someone with the potential to become his team's number-one receiver by season's end.
