The best pass catching running back in the entire draft goes to the Carolina Panthers. Christian McCaffrey was one of the few players to perform very well at the combine. His workout metrics are superior: 4.48 40-Yard Dash (81st percentile), 10.79 Agility Score (97th percentile), and 124.3 Burst Score (78th percentile).

Tight end is the strongest overall position in this year’s NFL Draft, headlined by OJ Howard who will serve as a monster target for Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston. Howard’s 4.51 40-yard dash time, 123.9 (98th percentile) Burst Score and 11.01 (97th percentile) Agility Score, and it all adds up to an incredibly athletic offensive weapon.

The draft is less than a week away and it’s time to draw back the curtain on all the small school darlings and hidden sleepers you didn’t want your league mates to know about.

Zay Jones’ 10.7 career YPR is as low as you will find for a NFL Draft-worthy wide receiver prospect. Jones is a high-volume, low-yardage player who looks like a more athletic, less refined Jarvis Landry.

This not a great year for first round picks. There are few prospects with clear routes to being a top 12 at their position and some of the most interesting are tight ends. But it’s a great year to go hunting for future producers in the lower rounds.

Kenny Golladay is rarely mentioned as an NFL Draft sleeper, but advanced stats and metrics indicate he is the perfect late-round pick in fantasy football dynasty leagues.

Did the Cardinals become David Johnson’s team out of necessity due to their offensive line or because Palmer’s injuries caught up with him and he got trucked by Father Time?

There is still a window where the Cardinals can capitalize on the Palmer-Fitzgerald era while he they both have something left in the tank, if Arians believes Palmer actually has something left.

With the lack of a true can’t-miss prospect at the quarterback position, the landing spot becomes even more important.

We believe Arizona is the best landing spot for Patrick Mahomes, as he would be an excellent fit for the Cardinals’ downfield passing game.

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?

NFL passing volume and efficiency is at an all-time high. Ty Montgomery is the poster child running back in a pass-heavy league as more NFL teams deploy RBs as receivers and are less concerned about the RB’s ability to generate yards between the tackles.

Ty Montgomery’s transition to RB mirror’s the NFL’s passing game focus. Who is poised to capitalize on this trend based on advance stats & metrics profiles?

Is Evan Engram a tight end or a wide receiver? Does that matter? We review Engram’s advanced NFL Draft stats and metrics profile for answers.

If Evan Engram was 6-5 and 250 pounds he would easily be the No. 1 tight end prospect. But there is precedent for undersized tight ends being productive at the NFL level. This isn’t pioneer territory. In fact, the most productive tight end in fantasy points per game the last two seasons was Jordan Reed.

While not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, I’Tavius Mathers impressed scouts at his pro-day with his route running and pass catching skills despite lackluster agility and burst.

Currently forecast to be drafted in the 7th round or as an UDFA, Mathers is worth a late-round selection in rookie drafts. He’s one of the top pass catching running backs this class, which should help him compete for a role as a satellite running back.
