# Jim Moorman: Moorman names five undervalued wide receivers to target relative to their current ADP: Jaylen Waddle, Josh Downs, Wan'Dale Robinson, Jayden Higgins and Zachariah Branch, projecting bigger roles and better finishes than their draft prices suggest. **Claimed:** Aug 10, 2026 **Pundit:** Jim Moorman — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jim-moorman **Outlet:** FantasyPros — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/fantasypros **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/08/5-undervalued-wide-receivers-to-target-2026-fantasy-football/ 13 checkable claims — 5 depth chart calls, 5 sleeper calls, 2 positional finishes and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 13 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 7 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > Past pick 120, Higgins may be the most glaring value on the board. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Zachariah Branch to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Zachariah Branch, Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Josh Downs to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 100.7 (WR43))** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: not settled yet - **Zachariah Branch to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Zachariah Branch, Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jaylen Waddle to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 45.5 (WR21))** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Jaylen Waddle, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Wan'Dale Robinson to finish top 36 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Wan'Dale Robinson, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jayden Higgins to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jayden Higgins, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carnell Tate to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Carnell Tate, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Wan'Dale Robinson to outplay his draft cost (ADP 103.8 (WR46))** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Wan'Dale Robinson, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Josh Downs to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jaylen Waddle to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Jaylen Waddle, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jaylen Waddle to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jaylen Waddle, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jayden Higgins to outplay his draft cost (ADP 125.6 (WR53))** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Jayden Higgins, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Zachariah Branch to outplay his draft cost (ADP 170.2 (WR74))** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Zachariah Branch, Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Zachariah Branch — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/zachariah-branch - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/falcons - Josh Downs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/josh-downs - Indianapolis Colts — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/colts - Jaylen Waddle — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jaylen-waddle - Denver Broncos — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/broncos - Wan'Dale Robinson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/wan-dale-robinson - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/titans - Jayden Higgins — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jayden-higgins - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/texans - Carnell Tate — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/carnell-tate ## What others said about the same people - Ralph Vacchiano on Tua Tagovailoa: Vacchiano ranks all 32 NFL teams entering the 2026 season, with the Rams first and Dolphins last.
