I like Josh Gordon in the 4th.
Interested in taking tre quan Smith really late.
Curious to what Jimmy Graham or Jordy Nelson will do at their ADP...

I know there are a ton of options in New England, but I really like Chris Hogan this year

What do you think will happen production wise to Minnesota’s receivers with the QB change to cousins ?

What I mean is this year he will finally play full season and have top 5-10 wr productivity
But having been drafted in 4th or 5th round

You are putting way too much effort into disagreeing with the point.
What has his reliability/ ADP been last year or 2.
He’s been less reliable than Jarius Byrd to the Saints.
This year I think he will surprisingly be reliable for entire or most of season.
I am going to gamble on that theory and use a draft pick on him possibly in 4th round. We shall see how it pans out. He is a breakout/sleeper if he produces top 10 WR numbers this year and goes off.

You can't breakout more than once. A breakout is a breakout. He's not a sleeper either.

breakouts and sleepers are guys drafters as a whole are under estimating or unaware of

pretty much everyone knows of all the players you mentioned in the OP, they can't be breakouts. Gordon has a fourth round ADP because of the risk factors associated with him, everyone knows of him and his talent.

your question is guys that will outperform their ADP

If you suck or don’t do shite for a few years, then rise back to the top tier, I think you can re-breakout

If Adrian Peterson comes out this year and runs for 2000 yards
He’s a breakout

Tarik Cohen has been criminally underdrafted

I think Calvin Ridley comes in and has a great year 1.

As Gyno mentioned, Cohen is still a great option. I used him as a spot starter in Flex in a 12 team PPR last year and he was serviceable.

ETA: My gut pick is Marlon Mack. I think he puts together a good season if Luck stays healthy.

He's got a hamstring strain. He's not dead.
