Undervalued Best Ball Wide Receivers for 2024
ADPs for these undervalued Best Ball wide receivers are specific to Underdog Fantasy. We also provide ADP information for Drafters and DraftKings in our Best Ball WR rankings. Remember, the value of each wide receiver can differ based on the platform you use.
Michael Pittman Jr.: WR18, ADP 33.6
Pittman is set up for an awesome season in Indianapolis. First and foremost, we are anticipating a full, healthy year from Anthony Richardson — and you may be screaming into the void about Richardson’s health, but he was a fantastic fantasy quarterback when he was on the field in his rookie season. Pittman was 18th in yards per route and fourth in target share, largely with Gardner Minshew throwing him the football.
The Colts did add a little competition with Adonai Mitchell, and Josh Down and Alex Pierce are there as well, but otherwise Pittman is set up for a monster year in terms of volume and probably efficiency as well. He only caught four touchdowns last year, and that was alongside 109 receptions and 1,152 yards. That touchdown upside should normalize a bit with the Colts developing a more electric offense.
Indianapolis has a solid 8.5 win total and a top-3 offensive line as well; this team may be a bit run heavy, but we expect the offensive efficiency to rise as a whole. Plus, this team threw plenty with Richardson under center last year. Pittman is our biggest difference at the top of the draft comparing ADP to our rankings.
DJ Moore: WR19, ADP 29.2
Obviously, the biggest change here is quarterback. The Bears are moving from Justin Fields to Caleb Williams, and by all accounts, Williams is a generational prospect. Now, this also comes with increased competition — Moore has been the lone guy most of his career, even going back to his Panthers days. Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet all are high-end fantasy options at their positions as well. That said, the play here is the rising tide lifting all boats.
Last year Moore was 11th in yards per route run, and he has never once played with a good quarterback in his entire career. He also had at least 1,000 yards receiving in four of the last five seasons.
The Bears have an 8.5 win total that is heavily juiced towards the over, so this is projected to be a pretty good team. Everything sets up for Moore, even with the increased competition: As good as Allen is, he’s aging and operates near the line of scrimmage; Odunze is a rookie. Moore is by far the most proven commodity for Chicago.
Christian Kirk: WR25, ADP 43.3
Kirk has rapidly been on the rise this offseason, but we have been high on Kirk the whole time.
The Jaguars offense is going through some changes, losing Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones while bringing in Gabriel Davis and rookie Brian Thomas. Jones and Davis are pretty close to a one-to-one replacement, and given all the issues with Ridley, adding Thomas makes this whole receiver situation basically a wash.
Trevor Lawrence also had one of the unluckiest seasons in terms of penalties and receiver mistakes, and Kirk still had 85 targets in an injury-shortened season. Kirk also had a career season in yards per route, placing him 16th among receivers. There isn’t a lot of upside left in Kirk given the neutral moves the Jaguars made, but the baseline with him is pretty safe. Two years ago he caught 84 passes for 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns with Lawrence.
Jacksonville has an 8.5 win total, which is solid enough, and the situation with Kirk as a fantasy asset simply seems to have a pretty high floor.
Chris Godwin: WR30, ADP 58.8
Godwin is now several years removed from an ACL injury, and he did see a slight drop in efficiency last season, but his target share was almost identical to Mike Evans’ at 24%. Godwin has now had at least 1,000 yards in four of the last five seasons.
He is going to be changing roles in a new offense with a new head coach — ideally moving back into the slot a bit more. The Buccaneers added rookie Jalen McMillan at wide receiver, but camp reports suggest that McMillan is battling Trey Palmer for snaps, not Godwin.
Godwin is still only 28 years old, so he very well could gain a lot of the explosiveness that he showed the previous few years prior to the torn ACL. This is still a very productive receiver, and Baker Mayfield has re-signed, so Tampa Bay projects for another solid season.
