Results for: "rookie RB efficiency"

Chase Edmonds’ best season, and best the indicator of his NFL upside, was his sophomore year, when he compiled 1,648 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. The most important numbers from this season, though, were his 31 receptions for 383 yards and five touchdowns.

Jarvion Franklin is bigger than Carlos Hyde, showed better receiving ability and was more dominant in college. Most impressively, Franklin’s 11.24 Agility Score at 239-pounds illuminated exceptional size-adjusted lateral quickness.

Sony Michel combines patience and elusiveness with straight-line speed. He also demonstrated adequate pass catching ability during his college career, with the receptions dropping off his senior season. The only way his value drops is if he goes to a team that views him as the next Jerick McKinnon and inexplicably squanders his talents, but give him 3-down work and he should be a special player.

As a relatively landing spot-independent satellite back, Mark Walton’s floor is relatively high. His ceiling is also high, because like Kareem Hunt and Alvin Kamara before him, he possesses an all-purpose skill set with an opportunity to add weight and check in at 210-plus pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Lamar Jackson’s electric rushing capability combined with a strong throwing arm will make him the most difficult player to defend to moment he steps onto an NFL field.

While Josh Rosen has become one of the most buzzworthy quarterback prospects in recent memory, his go-to receiver has Jordan Lasley is the most under-discussed top wide receiver prospect in the NFL Draft.

Juju Smith-Schuster is quickly becoming the ying to Antonio Brown’s yang and put Martavis Bryant in witness protection. Despite having just turned 21 years old, JuJu is the most efficient receiver in the NFL. 

Don’t forget about Corey Davis. Davis was a mega-producer all four years in college, posting an astronomical 5000-plus receiving yards before becoming a top-10 draft pick. Despite battling hamstring issues this season, he already has multiple 10-target games on his rookie resume.

When Ty Montgomery carried the ball at Stanford, he posted a mind-bending 8.6 yards per carry, and then displayed excellent athleticism at the NFL Scouting Combine. Specifically, Montgomery’s 129.4 Burst Score reached the 90th percentile.

Ty Montgomery’s 2016 efficiency metrics indicates that he is poised to take over as the Packers’ bell cow back. With an all-around skill set in one of the NFL’s most efficient offenses, Montgomery looks like David Johnson-lite headed into this season.

After losing multiple running backs to injury or inefficiency in 2016, Ty Montgomery was given an opportunity to play running back and did not disappoint. In fact, Montgomery was one of the most efficient running backs in the NFL last season.

Ty Montgomery has an exciting athletic profile, and the other backs in the Green Bay backfield simply do not pose major threats to his opportunity share. Everything points to an extreme fantasy football breakout in 2017.

David Moore wasn’t given an invite to the NFL combine and was ignored in favor of more “popular” receivers, whatever that means. However, at his pro day, Moore showed up and put together a strong showing.

Amara Darboh is a similar prospect to Moore with a slight athletic advantage and a late third round pick carrying him. Moore meets the NFL athletic requirements just as much as Darboh, but has a better production profile carrying him.

In round two, do you go after “devy darling” JuJu Smith-Schuster, small-school college compiler Zay Jones, the contested catch savant Chris Godwin, yards after the catch monster Carlos Henderson, or everyone’s favorite gadget player, Curtis Samuel?

Chris Godwin is top-3 across all wide receiver workout metrics. As the best receiver in contested situations in college football in 2016, Godwin is a perfect fit for Winston, who specializes in feeding receivers in challenging situations.

Rookie quarterbacks are extremely low probability investments, but which rookie QBs fit the success archetypes to return early fantasy football results based on advanced stats and metrics profiles.

While elusive, Mitchell Trubisky is not likely going to scramble for too many yards. Add in a below average wide receiver corps and a running back who is a limited pass catcher, and Trubisky is more likely to have a Cody Kessler rookie year than a Dak Prescott one.

If “Chaos Theory” creator Edward Lorenz played fantasy football, he certainly would have enjoyed viewing the NFL Draft through this contradictory lens.

The NFL Draft is impossible to predict. Suppose the top offensive rookies land on teams that cause maximum fantasy disruption in dynasty leagues? What would be their impact in year one based on advanced stats & metrics profiles?
