If he’d played in a different offensive environment than the rancid situation at Iowa, LaPorta may have been a first-rounder. He can absolutely be a standout NFL boundary receiver. Mims, Texas’ all-time high school career leader in receiving yards, is a proven downfield assassin with a long catalog of circus catches. Will the light turn on playing with the best quarterback in football? He’s worth a roll of the dice given the upside. When Rice is on, he’s very difficult to deal with down the field – and he’s proven he can win at all three sectors of the field. I thought it was interesting that the Chiefs popped WR Rashee Rice in Round 2. That’ll play at the next level – with the standard Wilson caveat “if he can stay on the field.” That’ll depend on if he can kick the nagging-injury bug.īut Wilson has an extremely unique ability to slam on the breaks into route breaks and accelerate quickly out of them for a big receiver. Wilson may well end up as one of this class’ best receivers. The only pick in the Cardinals’ draft class I really liked was WR Michael Wilson. He’s the only receiver in this class who has a clear path to becoming a star boundary receiver in the NFL. Johnston got nitpicked to death during this process, but I never wavered in him as WR1 on my board. So long as his knees hold up, Spears will pose a problem to NFL defenses. His cuts are so sudden, and his decisions are so resolute at high speeds that he discombobulates defenders. Explosion like that doesn’t grow on trees. RB Tyjae Spears was one of my favorite prospects in the draft. 13 last season in PFF receiving grade among all qualifying FBS running backs. He averaged over 10 yards after catch (YAC) last year, and posted a career mark of 9.1. Once he corrals the ball, Charbonnet’s a handful to wrestle down chugging upfield. He’s a taller back with long arms – the catch radius is atypically large for a running back, and he’s reliable with anything you can drop into that net. Over 90 collegiate targets, Charbonnet had only five drops. He is a surprisingly reliable receiver for a back of his ilk. Defenders descending upon him in the second and third levels have to be very cognizant of the nasty stiff-arm Charbonnet deploys. He was also top-20 in the nation in elusive rating. 3 with 122 forced missed tackles since 2021. Charbonnet’s movement in short quarters creates off-angle shots he runs through – his contact balance is outstanding. He’s always attempting to get defenders to over-commit in the beats before contact, and he has a deep bag of tricks to evade them once they do. He sets up and then shakes defenders in the hole with a one-cut-then-punch-it ethos. Charbonnet is so dang clever in cramped quarters. I appreciate his vision and patience, and his ethos of taking at least what the defense gives him – sometimes much more. His movement skills and long speed sneak up on defenders.Ĭharbonnet’s a handful between-the-tackles. Charbonnet is a muscular north-south thumper with a twist. Play style that has an answer for most questions. While it was confusing to see Charbonnet land in Seattle, here is my pre-draft take on his abilities: Richardson’s rushing ability makes him a fantasy cheat code. Richardson’s development plan will focus heavily on the same. Allen was a mechanical mess at Wyoming – the second he fixed that, he was a superstar. But there’s a lot of work to do until he can approach that. The ceiling is stupid – a more-athletic Josh Allen. Richardson is as gifted as they come, but he’s also raw and inexperienced, a one-year starter who had accuracy issues in 2022. In addition to his ludicrous athletic profile, Richardson has one of the strongest arms to enter the NFL over the past decade. Richardson refers to himself as “Cam Jackson” – an homage to Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson.
That much was confirmed by Richardson’s perfect “10” RAS score – only one of those is awarded per position. We’ve never seen anything like Anthony Richardson.
Here are my dynasty rookies to target in fantasy football drafts. Based on my evaluation, landing spot, opportunity, and more, here are players to know as you get ready for fantasy football drafts. After following the 2023 rookie class through the most recent college season and the NFL Draft process, I’m ready to put together a few names for you to watch as you prepare for your fantasy football leagues.
