BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted)
ANALYSIS: People really just keep forgetting about Danny Amendola. No, seriously: he had an ADP of WR96 (243th overall) in 2019 and he's currently the WR104 with pretty much an "undrafted" label always attached to his name in 2020 drafts.
I think the case for the 5'11'' receiver is an easy one. He's going to be the starting slot receiver on a team that's historically passed the ball a lot with Matthew Stafford at quarterback. Amendola's getting up there in age, but he still caught 62 passes last year, finishing with 678 yards and a touchdown.
Those numbers came with Amendola posting his lowest catch rate since 2012. If that number comes back up this year and Amendola approaches 100 targets again -- he had 97 last year, his most since 2012 -- then Amendola might not just be a deep league target, but a viable play in full PPR 12-team leagues. Of course, that target number might drop because of competition for targets, but even a drop could lead to similar reception and yardage totals if the catch rate rises.
I think Amendola's got too much upside to be undrafted in 14-team leagues. In fact, PFF projects Amendola to finish as the WR50 this upcoming season with all of 155 PPR points. He is actually expected to reach 90+ targets and catch 65+ passes for almost 700 yards and three scores. You can't tell me those aren't good numbers for someone absolutely forgotten in most drafts.
