Ready to find value in your dynasty rookie draft? This episode breaks down 6 rookie wide receiver sleepers you can target in the later rounds — the guys your league mates are overlooking.

In this episode:

• The FBS leader in explosive plays
• A 3-school starter who might be more NFL-ready than expected
• A late breakout who rewrote a school record book
• A high-risk prospect with legit talent and major red flags
• A return specialist with potential beyond
