Results for: "rookie RB efficiency"

Jalen Reagor left Texas Christian University early after an underwhelming junior season. However, he still displayed his smooth athleticism last year by compiling 384 yards and a touchdown on special teams. His impressive sophomore season in 2018 led to his 18.7 (95th-percentile among qualified wide receivers) Breakout Age and 36.7-percent (73rd-percentile) College Dominator Rating. If Reagor has a D.K. Metcalf-like fall on NFL draft day, he may turn into the best value in 2020 dynasty rookie drafts.

Despite incredible production evidenced by a 57.2-percent (98th-percentile among qualified wide receivers) College Dominator Rating, Tyler Johnson has been overlooked by draft analysts. ESPN inexplicably lists him outside the Top-20 wide receivers and Top-140 players overall on their 2020 NFL Draft Best Available. Covet him if he slips to the third round or later of the NFL draft and, in turn, the second round of dynasty rookie drafts.

Kyler Murray has a -12.23 (No. 29 among qualified quarterbacks) Supporting Cast Efficiency rating, and has suffered through 10 (No. 5) Dropped Passes. Still, he has gone some way towards meeting expectations as a runner. He is inside the top five in all of the key quarterback rushing categories, include Carries, Red Zone Carries and Rushing Yards per Game.

The 2019 rookie wide receivers were the talk of the NFL after Week 1, when Marquise Brown, Terry McLaurin and A.J. Brown all posted 100-yard debuts. McLaurin has established himself as a starter for Washington with a 93.5-percent (No. 9) Route Participation rate. His 35.2-percent Dominator Rating is No. 18 in the NFL.

Ravens training camp has been the Miles Boykin show. Boykin possesses out-of-this-world athleticism, including a 100th-percentile Catch Radius. That’s a plus for a QB who looks like Lamar Jackson and may be throwing on the run, or otherwise off-script and improvising.

With Kliff Kingsbury’s Air Raid background, Arizona projects to lead the league in four-receiver sets. That spells snaps for Keesean Johnson. That coupled with the high pace Kingsbury’s teams played at in college means Kyler Murray will be dropping back often. Additionally, his offenses at Texas Tech have helped push three receivers over 50 receptions every year since 2016.

The RotoUnderworld Team is conducting its rookie mock draft. We will be splitting up each of the four rounds into four separate pieces outlining the advanced stats and metrics that justify each selection.

It seems weird on the surface to see the No. 6 pick in the NFL Draft fall to the fourth round of a rookie mock. But Daniel Jones is more likely to return value early on than anyone is willing to admit. The right play might be to stash and trade him once he has a breakout game.

Every running back picked in the third round of this mock likely needs an injury to a teammate or two to be fantasy-relevant in Year One. It’s a big part of the reason they’re all available here, which seems appropriate. Benny Snell, despite his elite college dominance, is no exception.

Despite his satellite back build, Justice Hill could be the best all-around back on the Baltimore Ravens. As such, he makes for a great pick in both dynasty and redraft leagues.

Mecole Hardman was one of the biggest post-draft risers given his landing spot and similarities to the player he’ll presumably be replacing in Kansas City, Tyreek Hill.

Dexter Williams carried the ball 158 times in his senior year for 995 yards and 12 touchdowns to go along with 16 receptions and 133 yards.  He showed great vision running through blocks during his time at Notre Dame but was disappointing in the passing game.

A bell cow in waiting, Ryquell Armstead is a high value stash in the mid-to-late third round of dynasty rookie drafts.  Handcuffs should rarely be drafted in seasonal formats, however injuries happen in football, and one could make Armstead a league winner.

The lesson to be learned here is among the buy-low candidates each year look for draft capital, high college production, and feature size. If you have a bust on your hands or you are debating trading for one, look at those three things first.

This time of year we are inundated with what seem like 1000’s of buy-low articles or tweets. This lead me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I have a whole bunch of ADP data that tells some interesting tales. 

Courtland Sutton posted 250 completed air yards and three separate 40-yard splash plays so far this season. Zooming out, Sutton offers excellent size-adjusted athleticism, evidenced by upper percentile Agility Score and Catch Radius. On the production side, his College Dominator Rating, College Yards Per Reception, and Breakout Age checked in above the 65th percentile. 

Post-Demaryius Thomas trade, Keke Coutee still finds himself in a favorable rest-of-season position for fantasy production for a Texans team that runs 3-wide receivers sets on 54.5-percent of snaps. While Vyncint Smith has one NFL reception to his name in limited action, Coutee commanded an astounding 15 targets in his first NFL game, and his field stretching skill set most closely resembles Fuller’s abilities.
