High upside targets outside the top 120 (1 Viewer)

The exact time depends on your league, but a certain point you have to transition from the safely mediocre players to guys who may do nothing, but at least have the upside to potentially earn a consistent starting spot on your team.

Who are the boom/bust, high variance, or otherwise high upside guys you're targeting in the later rounds of your drafts this year?

Two of mine, who are a bit borderline on whether they're "later round" picks are definitely Carlos Hyde and Brandin Cooks.

RB - any handcuff option where their counterpart is a) ~30 years old b) overworked in recent years c) unproven

 
Hakeem Nicks, Jordan Mathews, Danny Amendola, Kenbrell Thompkins, Cody Latimer, Andrew Hawkins, Mike Williams.

Travis Kelce, Ladarius Green, Tim Wright.

Legarrette Blount, James White, Andrew Williams, Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson.

I hope you guys are right. In one league I just drafted 5 of the above guys mentioned: Cooks, Latimer, Matthews, Amendola and Hyde. Also Kelvin Benjamin, Andre Williams and Sankey. My team could either crush everyone or miss the playoffs.

 
Travis kelce- Andy Reid offense has always utilized the te, fasano is the vet but Reid was never shy about making a change with emerging tight end prospects... kelce could be a stud!!

Justin Hunter- about 25% of his catches last year were touchdowns... ready to emerge, talent and athleticism look to smash his current adp, especially if locker can stay healthy... yac potential has me salivating.

Kenny Stills- mr. Inconsistent last year, speed has me thinking ty Hilton with a bit more love coming from behind the clipboards than ty gets...

Ahmad Bradshaw- the epitome of a boom/bust pick but at his current adp what is there really to bust?? Was he even drafted in your league?? When I went wr early in 12 team ppr I made sure to grab Bradshaw as I have no faith in Richardson's ability to break out, Bradshaw is more refined and is visibly sharper... if he can stay healthy might run away with that job, likely to rip your hair out while management finds the need to justify the pick wasted on Richardson last year...

Mark Ingram- May be a steal at his current adp... no would not have let sproles roll w/o filling his spot if they didn't have a plan.. ground and pound play action??? If my conjecture doesn't satisfy your skepticism maybe his preseason 7.9 ypc average will do you some justice

 
I'm not sure how high he's going now--but I do love jonathan stewarts value. I also really like roy helu, andrew hawkins, jordan matthews, knile davis and kelce. I'm not sure if any of these guys are going in the top 120--but I generally like all of these guys towards the latter rounds of my drafts.
