5. Curtis Samuel, Carolina Panthers

Average Draft Position: 14.03 (WR62)

Projected Fantasy Points: 60.4 (WR78)

Curtis Samuel edges out Ross but by a very slim margin (0.15 fantasy points). Actually, the two are nearly identical by measure of our projections. We expect Samuel to receive 57 targets in the Carolina Panthers' passing game and see him turning those into 33 receptions, 427 yards and 3 touchdowns.

The big difference between Ross and Samuel lies in where the two offensive weapons are being drafted. Ross leaves the board in the 12th round of drafts while Samuel remains available until the 14th round, making the latter a nice flier late in drafts.
