Sleeper WRs I like in the 2024 NFL draft:
Malachi Corley (Western Kentucky)
Corley had 79 catches for 984 yards and 11 TDs in 2023. Corley has dynamic playmaking ability and known as the YAC king (Yards After Catch king). He’s built like a RB and is a terror in run after catch scenarios. He will remind you of Deebo Samuel when you watch him play.
WR Jalen Coker (Holy Cross)
Coker is my favorite sleeper for WRs. He had 59 catches for 1035 yards and 15 TDs in 2023. What really stood out to me about Coker is his reliable hands and the way he adjusted to balls thrown behind or outside of him. Coker has good size, strength and athleticism. He also portrayed his high point ability, incredible route running (his route running is up there with the best in the 2024 draft class) and makes catches mostly with his hands instead of his body. I think Coker can be a huge steal in the draft.
Malik Washington (Virginia)
Washington had an impressive 2023 season with 110 catches for 1426 yards and 9 TDs. Despite being only 5’8, Washington has excellent ball skills and exceptional route running ability. He fits the slot receiver role perfectly and is a clutch performer as he tends to make big plays in critical moments.
WR Javon Baker (UCF)
Baker had 52 catches for 1139 yards and 7 TDs in 2023. One of Baker’s biggest abilities is tracking the ball deep and making contested catches. He makes hard catches look easy and can be a reliable target in the red zone as he has excellent body control and effective hand fighting in man coverage.
WR Jacob Cowing (Arizona)
90 catches for 848 yards and 13 TDs in 2023. Cowing is a speedster and given space he will make you pay. When watching Cowing play he reminds me of Rondale Moore (WR Arizona Cardinals) as he has great ability to make defenders miss in open space. His slippery route runner allows him to create separation from defenders and get open easily.
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint (Georgia)
Rosemy-Jacksaint had 34 catches for 535 yards and 4 TDs in 2023. One of his biggest abilities is strong hands and reliability. He proved to have an encouraging catch radius and uses his frame effectively to shield defenders. He will definitely be a legit red zone threat. He’s also a dependable receiver who always seemed to pop open when needed.
