Fantasy Football Upside Picks: Wan’Dale Robinson, Dak Prescott, Gus Edwards

Several factors go into building a winning fantasy football team. One of those factors is identifying players with league-winning upside, especially in the later rounds. To help you create an elite fantasy football roster, I have identified one potential league winner for every NFL team.

Fantasy Football Upside Picks

ADP via Underdog Fantasy

Gus Edwards (LAC): ADP 117.4 | RB35

The veteran is coming off the best year of his career. Edwards was the RB20, averaging 10.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game last season. While he had no role in the passing game, totaling 13 targets in 17 games, Edwards was a touchdown machine. The veteran had 13 rushing touchdowns, the third-most among running backs and the fifth-most in the NFL. More importantly, Edwards has little competition in the Chargers backfield. Expect Greg Roman to make him the focal point of the team’s offense, especially in the red zone.

Dak Prescott (DAL): ADP 95.5 | QB9

Dak Prescott was a league winner in 2023 despite a slow start. Prescott was the QB21 over the first five weeks, averaging only 12.6 fantasy points per game. By comparison, he was the QB1, averaging 24 fantasy points per game after the Cowboys’ Week 7 bye. Prescott led the NFL with 36 passing touchdowns while finishing third in yards (4,516). More importantly, the veteran averaged 36.4 pass attempts per game after the bye week. Prescott has overall QB1 upside and is criminally underrated as a late eighth-round pick.

Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG): ADP 164.5 | WR73

Robinson’s fantasy value got a massive boost following Darren Waller’s retirement. Daniel Jones loves to target the middle part of the field, which will help the slot receiver. The former Kentucky star had a 26% target per route run rate and a 20.2% first-read target share in the five games he played with Jones last year (per Fantasy Points Data). Furthermore, Robinson had six or more targets in 45% of his games last season. He should be the clear-cut No. 2 receiving option behind Malik Nabers.
