Fantasy Football Deep Sleepers: Top 15 To Target In 2015

Donte Moncrief is entering his second year in the league, and has the potential to become one of Andrew Luck‘s favorite wide receivers. In two starts last year, he had 444 yards receiving and three touchdowns. He also played in every game during his rookie campaign.
Year two should be a good one for Moncrief, who is more than likely going to be the third string receiver behind T.Y. Hilton and recently acquired Andre Johnson. Despite being number three, Luck likes to spread the ball around to all of his receivers so Moncrief should see more than the 49 targets he saw as a rookie.
The Colts’ offense will be pretty high powered in 2015 and with Luck as their quarterback, Moncrief should see ample targets and be of useful fantasy value. He’ll especially be useful should Hilton or Johnson suffer injuries. Johnson has had problems staying healthy in the past, so the possibility of Moncrief starting isn’t too crazy.
Moncrief’s stock is also high because he has Andrew Luck as his quarterback. Definitely something to think about when making those late round picks.
