As NFL teams have become more pass-heavy, wide receivers have gained value in fantasy football. The increasingly popular "ZeroRB" draft strategy is centered around loading up on high-end receivers.
However, many fantasy drafters like to spend early-round picks on running backs and/or an elite tight end, in part because the talent pool at wide receiver is much deeper than in the backfield.
There's no shortage of middle-round receivers capable of breaking out in 2019, too.
None of the pass-catchers featured here finished among the top 20 receivers last year in leagues that award a full point for receptions.
