NFL rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. is a 2020 wide receiver sleeper and fantasy football ADP draft value. Target him as an undervalued WR in your fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted)
ANALYSIS: Other than D.J. Chark, Jr., the Jacksonville Jaguars do not have much in their wide receiver room. Enter Laviska Shenault, Jr.
Shenault is a versatile wide receiver that can be used in the running game and the return game as well. He is the ideal "Swiss Army knife" receiver and a complete nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators to scheme against.
The rookie, in which Jacksonville spent a quite-high second-round pick (42nd overall) will definitely have an opportunity to earn the WR2 role right out of the gate, and quarterback Gardner Minshew has already been impressed by his new weapon. Both WRs Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley have been around for longer, but it is not that they project to really become anything of substance entering 2020, which should boost Shenault's chances of getting that WR2 role.
Shenault is the type of player that offensive coordinators manufacture touches for because they are just so explosive that you need to get the ball in their hands a few times a game. He currently sits at WR77 in ADP, but he offers top-40 upside if he takes off and becomes a favorite target of Minshew, he could be a weekly flex play for his fantasy owners at the sweet price of a last-round flier.
