Draft These Volume Hog WRs with Top 12 Upside

WR1 Finishes Start With One Thing: Volume.

Consistent targets are the most reliable path to elite WR production in fantasy football. In fact, 9 of the 13 WRs who averaged 9+ targets per game last season finished inside the Top 12.

Want that kind of upside in the mid rounds? Here are the alpha target earners to draft in 2025:

Jakobi Meyers

Weeks 3–18 Last Season

• 9+ Targets/Game

• One of only 13 WRs to hit that number

Why he didn’t finish as a WR1?
He had Aidan O’Connell, Gardner Minshew, and Desmond Ridder throwing to him.

Now?
Geno Smith is expected to feed Meyers—just like he targeted JSN heavily in 2024.

Josh Downs

Weeks 4–11 With a Healthy QB

• 15.8 Fantasy Points/Game

• 8+ Targets/Game (WR1 Output)

This season, he’s looking at Colts WR1 usage with Daniel Jones as an upgrade at QB.

✅ PPR stud
✅ BEST WR on IND roster
✅ Going outside the Top 100 picks

Marquise Brown

Whenever Hollywood Brown is healthy with a healthy QB…

He delivers Top 20 WR production.

Even in limited time last year:

• Only 2 games played

• 7.5 targets/game

• Just 34% snap share!

Now with the Chiefs, he’s set to earn targets again—quietly one of the best sleeper values in all formats.

Chris Godwin

One of the most reliable WRs in football when healthy.

Weeks 1–7 in 2024

• 19.7 Fantasy Points/Game (WR4!)

• 9+ Targets/Game (WR5)

Hit 8+ targets in 6 of 7 games before the injury.

Godwin is back, overlooked again, and absolutely a value pick in 2025 fantasy drafts.

Jerry Jeudy

Sneaky elite in 2024…

One of just seven WRs to average 10+ targets/game from Weeks 8–18.

Only other names on that list?

• Drake London

• Malik Nabers

• Davante Adams

• Ja’Marr Chase

• Puka Nacua

• CeeDee Lamb

Jeudy now steps in as the undisputed WR1 in Cleveland.
Top 12 season? It’s possible.

Courtland Sutton

Weeks 8–18 Last Season:

• 18.0 Fantasy Points/Game (WR7)

• 9+ Targets in 8 of 10 games

He’s already producing WR1 numbers.

No true WR2 in Denver, and he’s paired with an improving young QB who has no reason not to pepper him again.
