Cameron Meredith (WR, NO) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120

CURRENT ADP: ~150

ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith is a sleeper based on what the 2018 Bears would have looked like with him still on the roster. The best version of Meredith, for fantasy purposes, still would have been the 2017 version had he not torn his ACL and MCL. That Meredith was poised to be a target hog in a receiving corps devoid of talent. In 2018, Meredith was, at best, going to be the second option in a Mitch Trubisky offense with an abundance of talent surrounding him.

We have to like him a lot better as the projected third option for Drew Brees. He still has to compete with Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, and Ted Ginn for targets, but that is better than competing with Allen Robinson, Trey Burton, Tarik Cohen, and Taylor Gabriel. The Saints do not have a TE of consequence. Meredith will be the de facto TE and we fully expect him to be higher on the priority list than Ginn. Meredith's volume will not be anywhere near where it would have been in Chicago in 2017, but it will probably be similar to what he could have expected in Chicago in 2018 and his quality of targets will be better.
