If you’re looking for a late-round deep sleeper to provide production at WR in 2018, these fantasy football rankings should point you in the right direction.

It’s never easy finding immense value in the final few rounds of your fantasy football drafts. These hidden gems are difficult to uncover, and often come dressed as underwhelming, unproven or injury-prone playmakers. Based on these fantasy football rankings, though, you should have a good idea of which wide receivers could be deep sleepers in 2018.

Honestly, it’s a tad shocking to see how far some of these guys are falling. While not all are proven commodities yet, all offer enough value in 2018 to warrant serious consideration. However, at this point in the offseason, they’re all lasting at least into Round 10 in 12-team leagues.

That’s what makes them such intriguing targets, though. The potential for big points for the lowly cost of a late-round selection. It’s not often you can find a possible WR1 or WR2 that deep down the draft, but these guys could all produce that consistently this season.

This list should at least give you an idea of what to look for when seeking out those deep sleepers.

So without further ado, let’s take a look at five fantasy football wide receivers who could be far more productive in 2018 than their current ADP would suggest. Wake these deep sleepers up in the final few rounds, and watch them churn out big numbers for your squad.
