48. Phillip Dorsett vs. Det

49. Updated Sammie Coates @ Was- Yes, he was a train wreck all preseason. However, the hype was strong at one point, and he never got a fair shot with Big Ben. Now that Wheaton’s out and Coates has a clear path to the #2 wideout, it’s now or never for the sophomore player.  If you’re desperate for a dice roll, here’s your guy.

50. Updated  Eli Rogers @ Was – With Markus Wheaton not expected to play, Rogers could see some added looks out of the slot.

51. Terrelle Pryor @ Phi – I don’t know why, but for some reason I see him catching a long TD over a shitty Eagles corner.  A potential DraftKings steal if he pans out.

52. Travis Benjamin @ KC

53. Kamar Aiken vs. Buf

54. Rishard Mathews vs. Min

55. Tyler Boyd @ NYJ

56. Devin Fuchess @ Den
