As fantasy football draft season approaches, here are four undervalued players who could provide excellent value in 2021:

Darnell Mooney (Bears WR)

  • Clear WR2 behind Allen Robinson
  • Excelled in rookie season despite poor QB play
  • Only caught 7/23 deep balls due to inaccurate passing
  • Should benefit from Justin Fields' downfield accuracy
  • First full NFL offseason to expand route tree

Tyler Boyd (Bengals WR)

  • Reliable slot receiver in explosive offense
  • Proven chemistry with Joe Burrow
  • Undervalued compared to Chase/Higgins
  • High-volume passing attack expected
  • Strong short/intermediate route runner

Baker Mayfield (Browns QB)

  • Ideal veteran QB2 to pair with rookie QBs
  • Demonstrated high ceiling in past seasons
  • Best Browns offensive supporting cast yet
  • Provides steady floor with upside
  • Browns expected to take step forward

Michael Carter (Jets RB)

  • Rookie getting first-team reps in camp
  • Being treated as potential starter
  • Upside similar to higher-drafted RBs
  • Could improve throughout season
  • Clear path to significant touches

These sleeper picks offer strong upside at their current draft positions while providing different paths to fantasy relevance in 2021.
