Shawn Siegele counts down 10 of the most compelling late-round WRs, and breaks down their profiles and outlook for the 2025 season.
If you select Jahmyr Gibbs in Round 1 this year, you could be well on your way to selecting RBs in four of the first five rounds. That’s not as crazy as it sounds in 2025. While opportunities exist at most price points for savvy drafts, WR10 to WR40 is weaker than ever when you compare production to cost.
You may get to the late rounds with a weaker WR depth chart than ever before. And if you do, good news! The 2025 draft landscape is uniquely populated by potential league winners among late-round receivers.
And so the first 2025 Zero WR Candidates Countdown is here to pick up the slack and put you on the trail of the next Puka Nacua.

2025 Zero WR Candidates Countdown: You Simply Cannot Cover These Guys
I’m putting the entire late-round WR list into one place, but the biggest difference between this and the RB version comes in the rankings convention. The RBs on the list all have reliable high-stakes ADPs, so they’re listed in reverse order of ADP. Part of the goal is to spread our RB selections across different price levels and profile types.
While a few of the Zero WR options are moving into the more solid ADP range, most of these WRs fall late enough in drafts that they’ll be ranked in the order of roster priority. We’ll start with the Watch List options and count down toward the priority late-round picks.
