Fantasy football managers are evaluating several players who currently sit outside the top draft picks but offer potential for starting rosters. Malik Nabers represents a target for the New York Giants following his performance with multiple quarterbacks, while Colston Loveland of the Chicago Bears provides a more economical option at tight end compared to other elite players. Derrick Henry remains a focal point for the Baltimore Ravens, and DJ Moore is projected to see more targets after joining the Buffalo Bills. Additionally, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is mentioned as an underrated option despite leading the league in touchdown passes last year. These players are available in later draft rounds according to current average draft position data.
