6 Players Worth Reaching for in Your Fantasy Football Drafts
Sometimes it's worth it to jump ahead of average draft position to get the player you really want. Who's worth reaching for in 2015?

Charles Johnson, WR, Minnesota Vikings

Current ADP: 7.09

Earliest Willing to Draft: 6th Round

Reports out of training camp all point to Johnson being Bridgewater’s go-to receiver, even with the addition of Mike Wallace.

And lest we not forget the return of Adrian Peterson, who has always produced at an incredible level. And opposing teams will be made to pick their poison. My money’s on them being more worried about the damage Peterson can do than what Bridgewater can do via the pass. This will only help Johnson and the share of quality targets he'll receive.

Finally, the Vikings only have five matchups in 2015 against top-10 teams at defending wide receivers. In other words, Johnson’s matchup slate is looking juicy.

With an impressive young quarterback, the return of Peterson, the acquisition of Wallace, and a soft schedule in terms of opposing teams’ secondaries, the stars are aligning for Johnson to have a big year.

Since I don't want to watch someone with his potential snagged right before me, I’ll invest a mid- to late-sixth round pick in him comfortably.
