Name one mid- to late-round player you would like to have on every fantasy team this year. Why?

Justin Blackmon, WR JAX, is an early 9th round pick (12-team
draft) and continues to move up cheat sheets. I like him so much I am willing
to reach a round and draft this WR35 in the 8th round. Jacksonville traded up
to draft him this year and that means the rookie is meant to play. He joins a Jaguars
team in desperate need of WR help. Laurent
Robinson can provide the short over-the-middle catches and Blackmon will get
the deep balls if his QB can get some time in the pocket. You have to admit QB
Blaine Gabbert had an impressive preseason. I like Blackmon for his upside with
little down side (60/800/8 TDs).
One note of caution, he does have some off-the-field issues
and may face a suspension at some point this season of 1-2 games. On the plus
side, he seems to be a grounded individual , i.e. not a diva, so that helps his
work ethic.
