BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 ( Current ADP: 176 ADP, WR50)
ANALYSIS: Before I tell you why Brian Hartline is a nice sleeper, do yourself a favor and read the article by Edward G about Ryan Tannehill. Now that we're all on the same page about why I like Tannehill going into the year, I'd like to bring your attention to none other than Brian Hartline. Sure the Dolphins acquired Mike Wallace last off-season who should be their clear cut WR1, but Tannehill and Hartline have chemistry. Don't believe me? In the last two years, Hartline has averaged 75 recs, 1049.5 yards, 14.0 yards per reception, and 2.5 touchdowns. Last year Hartline finished as WR26 in the fantasy game, and the year before that WR35.
Ok so maybe the touchdowns are not what you'd like to see but obtaining over 1000 yards in his past two seasons makes Hartline a very valuable commodity in the later rounds of the draft, especially in PPR leagues. If Tannehill takes some steps forward, I can only imagine that he would be fully capable of supporting both Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline. Hartline can be a very solid WR3/Flex play, so scoop him up toward the end of your draft and reap the rewards of this sleeper.
