Fantasy football players everywhere know that Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant, Brandon Marshall and a select few others are the best receivers to have on you team. Why? They are consistent. Anyone can have 100 yards and a touchdown, but these guys perform every week, hence earning the label of a wide receiver one, or WR1.

But who are some other consistent recievers that do not receive as much credit as they deserve? Of course, it depends where these players are drafted, but some underrated fantasy receivers can slip through the cracks, but be just as consistent as some other big-name players. eDraft's Consistency metric can help you find those guys. Here are some underrated fantasy receivers who very consistent last season.

Last season, there were 10 players that had over 50 yards or a touchdowns in 80 percent of games. The normal few are included of course, but who were the sleepers?

As you can see, Kendall Wright and Torrey Smith were listed among those who had 50-plus yards and/or a touchdown in over 80 percent of the games played. In fantasy football, most players play in regular season leagues where a lineup is set every week. You need consistency to win in these leagues and last year, Smith and Wright were two of the best. If you play in PPR leagues, it makes the two of them that much more valuable.

"50 yards?!" You may be thinking, "That's nothing"

In standard leagues, that is usually just five fantasy points if the player does not score a touchdown. So, who are the players who scored a touchdown in most of their games last year?

11 players scored a touchdown in eight or more games last year, which is exactly what we want from our fantasy receivers. Of course guys like Bryant, Marshall, A.J. Green, and Demaryius Thomas are included, but some of the other names may surprise you. 

You may be surprised to see Jerricho Cotchery, Larry Fitzgerald, Wes Welker and even Cordarrelle Patterson on this list. For all of the negativity surrounding Fitzgerald's fantasy prospects, he was awfully consistent last year.

The magic number for a wide receiver is 100 yards receiving. In standard leagues that is 10 points, and in some leagues 100 yards gives a bonus, which can make or break a weekly matchup. Here is a look at the top 15 wide outs last year who eclipsed 100 yards the most. Not many surprises, are there?

Those who attain 100 yards often are usually some of the better wide receivers in fantasy football, this means they do not rely on the touchdown to keep them relevant. Andre Johnson was tied for third in 100 yard games last year, with Matt Schaub and Case Keenum as his quarterbacks. Is he underrated? Accoring to the consistency ratings, he is.

Keep an eye on the consistency metrics this season, as it can help you find the next great fantasy receiver.
