WR Jason Avant Might Have Fantasy Value

Howard Smith-USA TODAY Sports

This is an interesting read

Our very own Jason Avant has had the least drops among all wide receivers over the last three years. The article also lists Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell as two players with high drop rates.

"Jason Avant's drop rate (0.86%) is almost twice as good as Larry Fitzgerald's (1.58%). However, he has never broken the top-60 at his position. What makes Avant a fascinating late-round (fantasy) selection this year is that he could work the slot on a team that lacks experience beyond Jerricho Cotchery--also a quality slot man. Some project Avant as the player most likely to lose time to rookie Kelvin Benjamin, but I wouldn't be surprised if Benjamin and Cotchery see enough time outside that Avant earns enough priority targets inside that he could sneak onto fantasy rosters by midseason as a productive option off the waiver wire."
