No. 1: Wide Receiver Taywan Taylor (3% Owned)

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor had a short-lived hype train in 2017. People thought that the then-rookie would explode and emerge as one of quarterback Marcus Mariota’s favorite targets. However, that was not the case, as wide receiver Rishard Matthews and tight end Delanie Walker ate up most of Mariota’s targets, as Taylor stayed buried at the bottom of the Titans’ receiver depth chart.

However, 2018 is a whole different situation. Walker is on injured reserve and Matthews is cut. Corey Davis is the No. 1 receiver on the offense, while Taylor is now the clear-cut No. 2 option.

Marcus Mariota, making his first (healthy) start in 2018 in Week 4 against the Texans, threw the ball in Taylor’s direction nine times. Taylor caught seven of those balls for 77 yards and looked to be a big part of an ascending offense for a good 3-1 team.

Since he’s only owned in three percent of fantasy football leagues (Yahoo!), the odds are good that he is available in your league.
