9. Breshad Perriman, WR UCF Knights
Commonly seen as the fourth or fifth best receiver in the 2015 NFL draft, Breshad Perriman should have solid fantasy value in his rookie season. Last fantasy football season saw multiple rookie receivers burst on to the scene and in some cases become some of the best fantasy receivers, if not players in the game.
Although I do not see 2015’s group of NFL rookie receivers as being quite as capable as the historically awesome group of rookie receivers that was the 2014 NFL rookie receivers; due to players like Perriman this years group is far from a slouch.
Like Williams, expect Perriman to be a late round fantasy pick. A player that many don’t seem to know about; Perriman has sleeper potential. Chances are with Perriman likely not being a top fifteen real life draft pick, that Perriman could find himself on a pretty decent team come draft day. That means a team with a pretty decent quarterback, all the more reason to be intrigued.
