Josh Reynolds is a perennially undervalued depth receiver. The 2017 fourth-round pick has displayed some signs of being a very productive NFL receiver in a very crowded Rams offense. Now, Reynolds travels to the Titans where you can count their offensive weapons on one hand that is missing three fingers: A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry. Reynolds is strolling into a situation with 215 vacated targets (second-most in the league) and will step right into the Corey Davis role. Although this may sound uninspiring, Davis finished as the WR31 last season over 14 games. I'm no math major, but I don't think teams have enough players to quintuple cover A.J. Brown (well, at least double cover) while also stacking the box against Henry. Reynolds is poised to open the season as the starting alongside Brown. He will get first crack at the vacated targets and has the upside to finish as a high-end WR3 for fantasy. Reynolds is a worthy late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts. 06/07 Update: With the arrival of Julio Jones, Reynolds becomes much less intriguing. Jones will immediately demand the majority of the 127 vacated targets from the departures of Corey Davis and Adam Humphries. There is a glimmer of hope for Reynolds since the offense will be very high0powered and could provide the opportunity for Reynolds to find himself with a handful of touchdowns at the end of the season. However, without the targets, it's hard to see Reynold being fantasy-relevant and have any sort of consistency.--Ellis Johnson
