NFC East wide receivers under the radar for 2024

While we all eagerly await the start of the NFL and Dallas Cowboys season, there are plenty of other things we can fill our time with.

One thing that can keep our minds busy while we wait is fantasy football. Yes, the fantasy game allows us to secretly support rival players even though we want their team to lose. So, looking at the list of wide receivers in the NFC East, who is slipping under the radar in terms of fantasy value? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Here are the NFC East’s under-the-radar wide receivers by fantasy value.

Brandin Cooks joined the Cowboys last season and immediately made an impact on the field. In his first year with Dallas, Cooks finished the season with 657 yards receiving and 8 touchdowns on 54 receptions. Those aren’t eye-popping numbers if you’re looking for a fantasy receiver. However, if you play in a bigger league, Cooks should definitely be on your radar as a solid bench player. ESPN Fantasy currently has Cooks as the 60th best receiver in their preseason rankings.

Sure, Malik Nabers will be the talk of the new crop of receivers making their NFC East debuts this season. But if you’re looking for someone who might not make headlines like Nabers, you might want to pay attention to Washington Commanders rookie Luke McCaffrey.

McCaffrey was a standout at Rice, finishing with 992 receiving yards last season. Also, don’t be surprised if you see McCaffrey used in special formations. Last season at Rice, the third-round pick finished the year with 15 rushing attempts.

KaVontae Turpin’s receiving stats in his first two NFL seasons might make you wonder why he would even be a good selection for a fantasy team. But with the rules changing at kickoff this upcoming season, Turpin’s chances of making magic upon a return increase dramatically.

With greater chances of becoming a standout on special teams, adding Turpin to your bench in deeper leagues might not be such a bad idea.
