Chris Conley, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

ESPN Ownership: 1.1%

Of the Kansas City Chiefs skill players on offense, it may surprise many that Chris Conley has seen the third-highest percentage of snaps (90.9%) behind only Alex Smith and Travis Kelce. Quietly, the third-year wideout has been productive, too.

Through two games, Conley has 8 targets, 6 catches, and 98 yards. Conley's 16.3 yards per catch leads the team, and only Kelce and Tyreek Hill have more targets. Week 3 brings a nice matchup for Conley, too.

The Chiefs face the Los Angeles Chargers, who have allowed 24.4 fantasy points to opposing wideouts in 2017. The Bolts will also likely be without top cornerback Jason Verrett again in Week 3. Without Verrett against the Dolphins in Week 2, Miami's second and third receivers had value -- DeVante Parker was able to rack up 85 yards on just 4 catches while Kenny Stills hauled in a 29-yard touchdown as well. Available in around 99% of leagues, Conley is the kind of calculated flier that those in deep leagues should roll with.
