Probably Not Available, But Must Mention, Throw-In Trade Targets (70-percent rostered)
Jalen Coker (69-percent rostered) | WR, CAR – Age 23
Jalen Coker, the undrafted free agent from Holy Cross not only made the Panthers’ roster, but he has been a productive member of the receiving corps (two weeks of double digit fantasy points). Coker has good size at 6-1 208-pounds, he’s young (23 years old), and he has a clear pathway to playing time even if the Panthers draft or add to their receiver room in the offseason. We also have to consider that the coaching staff is likely going to stay intact for another season, which is a good thing for Coker.
Javon Baker (67-percent rostered) | WR, NE – Age 22
Javon Baker has done next to nothing this season, but the Patriots need playmaking wide receivers more than just about any other team in the NFL.
Baker is just 22 years old. He’s 6-1, 202-pounds and has good speed for a player his size. There is still a ton of upside in rostering Baker because you know he is going to get dropped when dynasty gamers start trying to make room for their upcoming rookie picks.
Will Shipley (66-percent rostered) | RB, PHI – Age 22
You never know what can happen in the NFL. While Saquon Barkley is dominating in the Philadelphia Eagles rush first offense, Shipley has been nowhere near the field this season. That could change as early as 2025. however. Kenneth Gainwell is an unrestricted free agent in 2025, which could open the door for Shipley to be the backup running back next season.
Jordan Whittington (66-percent rostered) | WR, LAR – Age 24
Whittington proved that he could be a capable NFL wide receiver earlier in the season when Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp were dealing with injuries. In Weeks 4 and 5, Whittington put up double-digit fantasy points and had 18 targets combined in those two weeks. Kupp is no spring chicken, and Whittington appears capable of filling that void if called upon.
Sean Tucker (62-percent rostered) | RB, TB – Age 23
Who can forget Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season when Sean Tucker finished as the RB 1 overall on the week? The best part about that week was Tucker played on just 36.8-percent of the snaps.
Bucky Irving is dealing with an injury, so this number will most likely go up, but Tucker is just 23 years old, and he’s proven that he’s just an injury away from being playable in the flex.
More Likely Available (60-percent rostered)
Malik Washington (57-percent rostered) | WR, MIA – Age 23
We aren’t sure what Tyreek Hil’s future looks like, and Odell Beckham is on a one-year contract. Malik Washington could have a pathway to playing time as soon as next season, and he’s just 23 years old. This season, Washington has seen regular work in the Miami offense, somewhere in between a 20- and 30-percent Snap Share.
John Metchie (56-percent rostered) | WR, HOU – Age 24
John Metchie has played 50-percent of snaps or more from Week 9-13 of the 2024 NFL season. We aren’t sure how Stefon Diggs is going to recover from a torn ACL. Metchie is in a good offense and has shown he can be productive as he was the WR8 in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.
Chris Rodriguez (54-percent rostered) | RB, WAS – Age 25
Chris Rodriguez is the RB4 in Washington, but Austin Ekeler is on the back side of his career and Jeremy McNichols is a UFA in 2025. Rodriguez could also wind up on a new team in 2025.
Cade Stover (54-percent rostered) | TE, HOU – Age 24
Cade Stover has played a role for the Texans this season behind starting tight end Dalton Schultz.
If anything happens to Schultz, Stover would see increased usage. Especially in tight end premium leagues, Stover is worth stashing because he is young and in a good offense.
Probably Available (Available in 50-percent of leagues)
Jalen Nailor (49-percent rostered) | WR, MIN – Age 25
Nailor has proven to be productive when other receivers in Minnesota miss time. In Weeks 2,3, and 7, Nailor finished with double-digit fantasy points. Nailor is still under contract in Minnesota for the 2025 season, so if anything happens to the Vikings’ top wideouts in 2025, Nailor would be worth a desperation flex play – especially with a good matchup.
Isaiah Davis (48-percent rostered) | RB, NYJ – Age 22
We are seeing Isaiah Davis getting an opportunity, and this rostership is likely going up this week, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t prioritize Davis in the offseason. Yes, he is going to be playing behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, but you never know what can happen in the NFL. We also aren’t sure what is going to happen with the Jets’ coaching staff and general manager vacancies. A lot can change in a year.
Jacob Cowing (47-percent rostered) | SF, WR – Age 23
The 49ers drafted Jacob Cowing in the fourth round in the 2024 NFL Draft. Cowing is an undersized receiver with some serious speed.
This 49ers team is aging, and Brandon Aiyuk is coming off a serious injury. There is a lot of upside in rostering Cowing.
Rasheen Ali (43-percent rostered) | RB, BAL – Age 23
Simply put, I want pieces of the Baltimore Ravens backfield, and Rasheen Ali is a free way to do that. I keep saying/writing the phrase, “You never know what can happen,” and that’s true. He does have an uphill battle to climb because Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell are under contract for 2025, and so is Derrick Henry, but anything can happen in the NFL.
