Marvin Harrison Jr., Drake London, Tank Dell, George Pickens

Wide receiver is one of the most coveted positions in fantasy football drafts. If you can find a guy with a high target percentage, yards behind the catch (YAC), or reliability in the red zone, that's a recipe for success in fantasy football. Winning your fantasy football draft at the wide receiver position is crucial to the success of a season. We'll take a look at a few fantasy football draft targets at the wide receiver position. Some of these pass catchers hover near the top 10, but there are a few further down the rankings that could outperform their average draft position (ADP). Here are four fantasy football draft targets at wide receiver.

Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI) | ADP: 13 (WR9)

Marvin Harrison Jr. could be a mirror image of Garrett Wilson and Puka Nacua – someone who can step in and make an impact right away. Aside from Trey McBride, Arizona's receiving options are slim. They went after Harrison Jr. to destroy Kyler Murray's targets.

With his talent and effort, the floor will be in the top 15, but that ceiling will make him the fourth rookie receiver with 100 catches.

Drake London (WR – ATL) | ADP: 14 (WR10)

The Free London campaign worked. Arthur Smith will not hold back such talent any longer. Under Smith, this was a strong offense that lacked quarterback talent since they parted ways with Matt Ryan.

New Falcons OC Zac Robinson has helped develop the Rams' passing game in recent years. He gets to work again with an experienced passer in Kirk Cousins. You're hoping Cousins ​​is 100% coming back from the torn Achilles tendon, because you saw how he turned Justin Jefferson into the league's most decorated wide receiver. All the tools are there for London – height, hands; He just needs someone to get him the ball.

He also gets a top-notch schedule that is the fourth-easiest for wide receivers according to last year's opponents' stats.

Tank Dell (WR – HOU) | ADP: 39 (WR25)

After his injury last season, we forgot about Tank Dell after seeing Nico Collins move into the WR1 spot. Don't twist it; Tank Dell is the top guy in Houston. CJ Stroud specifically told the Texans he wanted them to draft Dell.

After the bye week, you could see that connection blossom as Dell posted three top-12 finishes. A healthy Dell could have a top-10 season.

George Pickens (WR – PIT) | ADP: 46 (WR29)

If you look at George Pickens' rankings, you might shake your head as to why it's so low considering he's had 1,000 yards receiving. It was because of the inconsistency that existed at the quarterback position. Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph all got starts. None were impressive. For Pickens to get those numbers with this group is fantastic.

This season he brought in an established veteran in Russell Wilson, and although his tenure in Denver was lackluster, he was still efficient, throwing 26 touchdowns and a 66.4% completion percentage.

Pickens is one of the most explosive receivers in the league, as his 18.1 yards per reception was the best among qualified receivers. With Diontae Johnson gone, he takes on the WR1 role in an offense that should pass the ball more often.
