The 2024 NFL season is over three months away. However, offensive programming is underway. While the upcoming season is still off in the distance, NFL position battles are underway. Here’s a look at three wide receiver fantasy football position battles to monitor over the summer. And below we dive into a notable fantasy football position battle.
Wide receiver ADP via Underdog Fantasy
C.J. Stroud is a lucky man. The former Ohio State star has arguably the top wide receiver core in the NFL. Collins and Dell are coming off breakout seasons. Yet, that didn’t stop the Texans from trading for Diggs. Collins and Diggs were top-10 wide receivers in half-point PPR scoring last year. Meanwhile, Dell was the WR16 on a points-per-game basis, with a higher average than Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, and Chris Olave.
However, which wide receiver is the top guy in Houston? Diggs has age concerns, especially after having late-season struggles in back-to-back years. While he has the second-highest ADP of the three wide receivers, the veteran is the one I’m least likely to draft this upcoming season. Meanwhile, Collins led the teams in target share (21.1%), target per route run rate (28%), receiving yards market share (32.5%), yards per route run (3.37), end zone targets (10), and first-read target share (27%) last year, per Fantasy Points Data.
Fantasy players need to see how things progress during training camp. Dell is coming off a season-ending leg injury and got shot earlier this offseason. Yet, the explosive receiver is taking part in organized team activities. Collins is the clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver for the Texans. However, Dell might be the better value pick, especially if his ADP doesn’t change over the next few months.
