Fantasy Football Top 15 Deep Sleepers for 2016 – Number 12: Laquon Treadwell

The Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver, Laquon Treadwell, could have fantasy value sometime this season. His a physical specimen at 6’2″ 210 lbs. and showed it in college for Ole Miss. He hauled in 82 passes for 1,153 yards and 11 touchdowns in 13 games for the Bulldogs last season.

Take a look at some of these great plays he made in college.

In Minnesota he will have a few good players working with him. The opposing defense will have to worry about running back, Adrian Peterson and wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The defense might not give Treadwell much credit due to his rookie status. This could lead to huge plays for Treadwell and quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater.

Diggs  is going 41st overall on the wide receiver list. Treadwell isn’t far behind him at 52nd overall. Don’t be surprised if Treadwell becomes the number one wide receiver at some point this season for the guys in the purple jersey’s.
