Three Former LSU Football Players that will win you your Fantasy Football league
August has started meaning we're nearly a month away from the start of the NFL Season. As the NFL season approaches so does the start of you yearly fantasy football league. Every year you're looking for the under the radar piece that will win you a championship and while Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and Joe Burrow will lead many teams there are a few players going under the radar from LSU that can win you a championship.
Malik Nabers - Wide Receiver - New York Giants
If training camp has been any indication of what Malik Nabers' role in the offense will be then Nabers will be a top receiver in the NFL this season. The current Average Draft Position for Malik Nabers is 64.84 which is undervalued considering the role he'll serve.
The Giants have lacked a top wide receiver ever since they traded away Odell Beckham Jr and lost top offensive weapon Saquon Barkley in free agency. In Barkley, the Giants have 307 touches, 1,242 yards, and ten touchdowns to replace.
Fantasy football owners who draft Malik Nabers will be thrilled with the production they'll get throughout this season. Brian Daboll will put an emphasis on getting Nabers the ball whether it's on screens or designed runs which will boost his numbers in points per reception leagues.
DJ Chark - Wide Receiver - Los Angeles Chargers
The past few years have seen DJ Chark's production dip but, it's mostly due to his situation. Last season, the Panthers offense floundered due to Bryce Young's struggles to transition to the NFL as Chark only had 35 catches on 66 targets. The year prior in Detroit Chark's production was down as he missed time while Amon-Ra St. Brown garnered most of Jared Goff's targets.
This season a ton as Chark moves to the Chargers most of his previous obstacles will be out of the way. This off-season, the Chargers parted ways with nearly all of their offensive firepower in Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, and Austin Ekeler.
Drafting DJ Chark is the perfect late draft gamble as he's currently being drafted outside of the top 200 picks. This season will pair DJ Chark with the best quarterback of his career in Justin Herbert while he should dominate the target share.
Odell Beckham Jr - Wide Receiver - Miami Dolphins
Look Odell Beckham Jr would tell you himself he's no longer the top receiver like he's been for fantasy owners in the past. Despite Beckham's age and down years in production there are still plenty of reasons to roll the dice on Beckham late in your fantasy draft.
The Dolphins had a rotating cast at receiver alongside Tyrek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in 2023. The Dolphins tried four receivers alongside the duo combining for 807 yards and six touchdowns. None of those receivers have the ability that Odell Beckham Jr has.
In a rushing heavy offense in Baltimore Beckham recorded 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns. The Mike McDaniel's passing heavy attack will make Odell Beckham Jr worth stashing especially as he's being selected in the 300's.
