Here are some of the Top Receivers to target in the late rounds of your 2020 fantasy football draft. Each receiver mentioned has a high ceiling and can produce a lot in 2020.
1. Allen Lazard
ADP: 72nd among receivers
Allen Lazard was signed by the Packers in 2018 after he went undrafted in the 2018 NFL draft. Lazard had a good year last year, recording 35 receptions, 484 yards, and 3 touchdowns on 52 targets. Lazard only trailed Aaron Jones and Devante Adams in targets among Packers players. Lazard is primed for a breakout season because of the lack of competition. The Packers moved on from Geronimo Allison over the offseason and replaced him with Devin Funches. Lazard has a proven history with Rodgers and could emerge has one of his top targets.
2. Justin Jefferson
ADP: 47th among receivers
Justin Jefferson was drafted by the Vikings in the 2020 NFL draft. Jefferson was drafted 22nd overall and he is arguably the most well rounded WR in the draft. Jefferson is the apparent replacement to Stefon Diggs, who the Vikings traded to the Bills in the offseason.
Last season, Diggs was Kirk Cousins' top target and caught 63 passes on 94 targets. Diggs scored 6 touchdowns and recorded 1130 yards. As NFL Network's Daniel Jeramiah said, Jefferson can come in and immediately catch the amount of passes Diggs has in passed seasons.
3. Darius Slayton
ADP: 43rd among receivers
Darius Slayton had a strong season in 2019 after he was drafted by the Giants in 2019. Slayton had 740 yards on 48 receptions and scored 8 touchdowns. After the Giants moved to Daniel Jones at Quarterback, Slayton emerged as one of his top targets. Slayton has a very high ceiling because it was both Jones' and Slayton's first year last year and they can improve greatly.
