Wide Receiver Sleepers & Breakout Candidates
If you haven't yet read my 2021 Draft Day Strategery or 99 Stats articles, you may want to hit those first since they will provide a better overview of where my head is at (fantasy-wise) at this point in the offseason. These positional breakout/sleeper articles will do a deeper dive into a few players that are particularly intriguing heading into 2021 fantasy drafts.
More Sleepers & Breakouts: QB | RB | TE
For the purposes of this article, I'm defining a breakout candidate as a younger (non-rookie) player who has yet to finish as a fantasy starter (top-24). A sleeper is going late in drafts and has a good chance to outperform his draft position. The other sections are pretty self-explanatory.
Since this is a receiver article, I'll reference Matt Harmon and his site, Reception Perception, early and often. I have found Matt's work to be predictive, so I'll lean heavily on it, especially when discussing relatively young (or unknown) players.
