Believe it or not, fantasy football is right around the corner. Mandatory mini-camps are all but wrapped up, leaving us six weeks until training camps kick into gear. That said, it’s time to start taking a look at who might be flying under the radar right now, ADP-wise. Keep in mind, these guys are not offseason heroes, but they are definitely worth earmarking as the summer rolls along. Without further ado, here are three undervalued wide receivers to target in your way-too-early mock drafts.
Tre Tucker, WR – Las Vegas Raiders
ECR: 156th overall (PPR), WR60
Tucker’s production has steadily increased in each of his first three seasons. He now enters Year 4 with a new head coach in Klint Kubiak and a significant upgrade at quarterback, whether it be Kirk Cousins or Fernando Mendoza. Tucker is an absolute speed demon and will likely be utilized all over the field in Kubiak’s offense.
While the Raiders lacked a real top threat at receiver in 2025, Tucker paced the team in receiving yards (696) and targets (92). Albeit the Raiders traded away Jakobi Meyers, and TE Brock Bowers dealt with injuries all season, so the targets weren’t hard to acquire, but he showed vast improvements in drops and an expanded route tree. The Raiders also didn’t really bring in much competition at receiver this offseason, signing only Jalen Nailor in free agency and picking up Oregon WR Malik Benson in the 6th round of the 2026 draft.
HC Klint Kubiak has spoken extremely highly of Tucker so far this offseason. “There’s already a culture of hardworking guys in our building …[and] he’s an example of one of them. He’s got to be a playmaker for us, and he has been. And now let’s go see what else we can get out of him,” Kubiak said last week at the Raiders mandatory mini-camp.
Tucker could easily outshine his current ADP of WR60 if he becomes the number two option behind TE Brock Bowers in what should be a largely improved Raiders offensive unit. Target him as a high-upside WR4/Flex as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.
Josh Downs, WR – Indianapolis Colts
ECR: 104th overall (PPR), WR47
With the departure of Michael Pittman Jr. in Indianapolis, Josh Downs looks like one of the better PPR values in fantasy drafts this season. Entering his fourth year as a pro, Downs will compete with Alec Pierce to absorb a share of the 111 vacated targets left by Pittman’s exit.
While Pierce earned a lucrative extension this offseason, he is still recovering from offseason ankle surgery that could sideline him well into training camp. Downs has also been the more consistent volume receiver, posting at least 55 receptions in each of his first three NFL seasons. Not to mention, he’s caught 198 passes on 292 career targets, compared to Pierce’s 157 receptions on 296 targets.
The Colts did little to add meaningful competition in the receiving room. Veteran Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has never topped 38 receptions in a season, while seventh-round rookie Deion Burks is unlikely to command a significant role immediately.
With Daniel Jones expected to return from his Achilles injury, Downs profiles as a natural fit for a passing attack that will likely be built around quick decisions and high-percentage throws as Jones works his way back to full strength. Downs’ ability to consistently get open from the slot should keep him heavily involved regardless of how the offense evolves, and a career-best season could be well within reach.
Matthew Golden, WR – Green Bay Packers
ECR: 116th overall (PPR), WR50
Matthew Golden enters Year 2 as a love or hate classic fantasy sleeper, coming off an underwhelming rookie season that kept him outside the top 80 wide receivers in fantasy scoring. His ADP has settled into WR5 territory, making him a low-cost bet to grow in a reshaped Green Bay receiver room.
The path to playing time is clearer than it was a year ago. Romeo Doubs departed in free agency, and Dontayvion Wicks was shipped out to Philadelphia. That leaves Golden competing for an expanded role alongside Christian Watson and Jayden Reed in a passing game that still hasn’t fully settled on its pecking order.
Are there concerns? Sure. The Packers tend to spread the ball around, and Tucker Kraft has carved out a steady role in the passing game, which limits the likelihood of any single receiver dominating targets. That keeps Golden’s projection more in the WR4/FLEX range than anything close to a true breakout candidate, but the foundation is there. Golden brings first-round draft capital, vertical speed, and enough raw ability to justify another year of development in a reshaped depth chart.
He also closed his rookie season on a positive note, flashing in a playoff matchup with a 4-catch, 84-yard, one-touchdown performance that at least hinted at what the Packers envisioned when they drafted him. At his current price, the bet is simple: increasing opportunity in a thinner depth chart, with enough talent to take advantage if the role expands.
