Cody Latimer-Denver Broncos

Latimer earned some fantasy football sleeper buzz last season, but he never got the chance to step up and shine for the Broncos.  There isn’t much doubting his potential, but he needs to earn his way onto the field to be an impact option this season.

Latimer had a strong start to the preseason working with Brock Osweiler and catching four passes for 49 yards. Those totals both are more than he had in his entire rookie season when he had just two catches for 23 yards.

Latimer has once again turned heads this preseason and he could be worth a flier if he can just get onto the field with the first team offense.  Right now, he’s behind DeMaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, and Andre Caldwell, but if he could work his way up the depth chart he could be a star in Peyton’s offense.

Taking a late-round flier on Latimer or any of these receivers could pay off with huge value, and at worst they’re just your first cut as long as you avoid over-paying for any of these late-round fantasy football WR sleepers who should get targets.
