Fantasy Football: One Wide Receiver to Target in Each Round of Your Draft

Chris Hogan, New England Patriots

ADP: 5.05 (WR25)

For a while this summer, Chris Hogan was possibly the best wide receiver value going, so congrats to those of you who nabbed him in best-ball drafts in the early part of the spring.

Hogan's price has shot up since June, creeping into the early part of the fifth round -- a jump of more than two full rounds from where his ADP stood not too long ago.

Even with the price hike, Hogan is still a player we want to target. The reasoning is pretty simple: the Patriots are going to have a really good offense, and outside of Hogan, their receiver depth chart is pretty barren.

Rob Gronkowski will get his, and Julian Edelman will be back after a four-game ban. But that still leaves more than enough volume for Hogan. With Brandin Cooks (19.42% market share last year) and Danny Amendola (14.82%) out of the picture, the Pats have the fourth-most air yards (2,489) and the fourth-most targets (240) missing from last season's roster.

And while we don't want to weigh those first four non-Edelman games too heavily, Hogan was a monster last year sans Edelman, checking in as the PPR WR7 through the first eight weeks, a run which was curtailed by a shoulder injury.

Even though Hogan's price tag has finally climbed to where it should be, he still makes for a solid pick in this range. He checks a ton of boxes for 2018 and is one of the better wideout targets once the first couple tiers are gone.
