Rookie Scouting Profile: WR Treylon Burks

Treylon Burks (WR) Arkansas Height Weight 40-Time DOB NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 6-2 224 4.55 03/23/2000 1 top-5 A.J. Brown/Demaryius Thomas College Production The No. 1 recruit in the state of Arkansas in 2019, Burks elected to stay home and play for the Razorbacks over more vaunted programs like Clemson and Florida State. Was an immediate starter at Arkansas and developed into the program’s top wideout as a sophomore, leading the program in both catches (51) and yards (820) and earning Second-Team All-SEC accolades. Broke out as a junior, leading the Razorbacks once again in all receiving categories (66/1,104/11), including a school-record six 100-yard outings. Was named to the All-SEC First Team. Burks’ junior year resulted in a lofty 91.0 grade from Pro Football Focus, the fifth-highest grade for any wide receiver during the 2021 college season. Strengths • Ideal size/speed combination to develop into a dominant NFL possession receiver. • Has the frame and knows how to use his body to overpower smaller defensive backs and to win contested-catch situations. • Won’t be manhandled at the line of scrimmage. • Plus football IQ. • Played a ton of reps from the slot at Arkansas but offers inside/outside flexibility in the NFL. • Excellent route runner with enormous and trustworthy hands. • Excelled as a rusher in college and profiles as a plus dual-threat weapon in the NFL. • Destroyed a historically-talented Alabama defense (8/179/2.) • Deceptive speed looks far more potent than 4.55 time. Clocked at over 22 MPH in a game last season- one of the highest times recorded at any level. • 31.3% target share was in the 93rd-percentile. • Strength, stiff-arm, and open-field running should translate into a ton of RAC big plays. Weaknesses • Does not always quickly gain separation and needs to improve footwork making cuts. • 4.55 40-yard dash was fine for his size but a bit disappointing in a class filled with sub 4.4 options. • Needs work on release on the perimeter. • Limited route tree at Arkansas. • Blocking needs improvement, particularly from the outside spot. Fantasy Outlook Prior to the NFL Scouting Combine, Burks was the consensus 1.01 in dynasty leagues. Although his showing in Indianapolis was fine, many other players had more eye-catching showings, especially with the blazing speed times. Burks profiles as a solid X-receiver who can make an impact as a runner and could be a problematic mismatch out of the slot. Fantasy managers who loved Burks’ film have no reason to feel discouraged. Perhaps a sub 4.5 40 at Arkansas’s Pro Day would vault Burks back up into 1.01 ahead of Breece Hall. For now, he’s a solid dynasty investment anywhere in the top-5 and offers enough upside to be a top-40 option in redraft formats. Post-Draft Recap In a shocking draft-day trade, the Titans shipped off A.J. Brown to Philadelphia and selected Burks with the 18th overall pick, as the sixth first-round wide receiver. A healthy Burks drew some comps to Brown but it remains to be seen how his game translated to the NFL, especially in a low-volume Titans’ passing attack. Burks is still a solid first-round rookie-only pick and has the upside to be a promising mid-round target in dynasty start-ups. Other 2022 Rookie Profiles Breece Hall Isaiah Spiller
Rookie Scouting Profile: RB Isaiah Spiller

Isaiah Spiller (RB) Texas A&M Height Weight 40-Time DOB NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 6-0 217 — 08/09/2001 2-3 1.05 Arian Foster College Production A sizable power back with solid receiving skills, Spiller posted consecutive seasons with 1000-plus rushing yards after debuting in 2019 with 174 totes for 946 yards and a career-high 10 rushing scores. As a testament to his three-down skill set, Spiller reeled in 20-plus in each of his three campaigns with the Aggies. Was named to the All-SEC First Team in 2020 and earned Second Team accolades in 2021 after averaging 5.6 yards per carry, the highest of his collegiate career. Spiller displayed the size and strength to be a plus short-yardage option in the NFL and was more than adequate as a pass-catcher. Strengths • Nice blend of size and power. Powerful legs churned out extra yards while he also was willing to lower his head and deliver blows to would-be tacklers. • Displayed the foot quickness, cutting ability, and decisiveness to excel in a zone scheme. • Excellent vision and ability to consistently make correct decisions in choosing proper running lanes and cuts in the backfield. • Seemed to be gliding as a runner, with good anticipation. Keeps feet moving to churn out plenty of yards after contact. • Good receiver who snagged 20-plus balls in each of his three collegiate seasons. Hands are good enough for Spiller to stay on the field on third downs. • Has the ability to play in all situations, including 2-minute drills, third downs, and has the profile to develop into a plus goal-line option. Weaknesses • Did not run at the Combine and does not have elite speed. Projected to run somewhere between 4.5 and 4.6. • Has ball security issues. Committed 8 fumbles at A&M, some of which resulted in carrying the ball carelessly or leaving himself open to having ball punched out from behind. • Upright running style could leave him susceptible to big hits, leading to the potential for injuries and the potential to turn the ball over. • Adequate blocker but will need to improve in this area against faster and stronger NFL pass-rushers to earn consistent playing time early. Fantasy Outlook Spiller is often comped to Arian Foster due to the latter’s success as a three-down, one-cut runner that lacked top-end speed. Spiller probably has better power than Foster but has yet to show the breakaway ability to consistently run away from defenders. Injuries prevented Spiller from participating in most of the on-field drills at the NFL Scouting Combine, which will temporarily hurt his fantasy football value in both redraft and dynasty. A solid showing at the Texas A&M Pro Day could reverse that, particularly if Spiller can run in the low 4.5s. Landing spot will also be key and worrisome if Spiller slips into the middle part of the third round of the NFL Draft and lands with a pro team that already has an established starter. For now, Spiller is still a top-3 fantasy prospect and will warrant top-10 attention in rookie-only drafts, after Breece Hall and the top 3-4 wideouts.
Rookie Scouting Profile: RB Breece Hall

Breece Hall (RB) Iowa State Height Weight 40-Time DOB NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 5-11 217 4.39 05/31/2001 1-2 1.01 Le’Veon Bell/ Matt Forte College Production Showcased workhorse potential in three seasons with the Cyclones. As the starter in 2020, rushed 279 times for 1,572 yards (5.6 ypc) and chipped in 23 receptions for an additional 180 yards, and totaled 23 touchdowns. Performed even better as a junior, taking 253 totes for 1,472 yards, 20 rushing TDs, and contributed another 36/302/3 through the air. Hall consistently stood out in all areas of the game and has an all-around skill set that matches up very well with today’s spread offenses in the NFL. Strengths Elite speed is indicated by posting a 97th-percentile 40-yard dash and speed score at the Combine. 5 of his 56 career TDs at Iowa State came from 75-plus yards. Fluid pass-catcher and pass protection skills are indicative of a three-down pro prospect. Posted a 94th-percentile burst score and has the vision and shiftiness to consistently break off big chunk plays. Hall’s 116.85 Speed Score was the second-highest of any skill position player at the Combine. Has the frame, size, and experience to be an effective NFL workhorse. Plus pass-catcher and short-yardage option. Weaknesses Stayed healthy at Iowa State but compiled nearly 600 touches in the past two seasons. Immediate production could be hampered if he has to improvise or compensate behind a poor offensive line. Will need to improve decisiveness in the backfield against faster NFL defenders Could be forced into a committee backfield if he slips out of the top-40 picks. Fantasy Outlook One of the biggest winners from the Combine, Hall fortified his pre-workout opinions of being the top running back of the 2022 draft class. He has the skill set to develop into a stellar three-down stud with plus pass-catching skills. Should be an immediate candidate to exceed 50 targets. Landing with a creative play-caller would be a plus as Hall has the speed, power, and hands to develop into an RB1 if he wins the starting job in camp. A sure-fire top-3 rookie-only pick, Breece Hall’s Combine showing improved his dynasty stock and he should see his start-up dynasty ADP rise into overall RB2 territory overall. Hall opened as the +200 favorite to be the first running back selected in the 2022 NFL Draft and that line quickly was bet down to -110. That’s a good indicator that there’s a solid consensus that Hall is viewed as the top option in a surprisingly deep class of ball-carriers. The only question now is when will teams be willing to pull the trigger? Expect Hall to go anywhere from the late part of the first round to (more likely) the first 10 picks of Round Two.
Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Wide Receivers

Before the 2022 NFL Draft jumpstarts interest in dynasty fantasy football rookie-only drafts and start-ups, existing dynasty league managers should be looking to shore up their rosters by trading for hidden values or selling high on other players. Now is a great time to take advantage of the relative lull in activity and do just that. After already reviewing quarterbacks, tight ends, and running backs to buy low/sell high, here are the all-important wide receivers that you should be targeting this offseason. Buy Low Elijah Moore (New York Jets) – After a quiet open to his rookie campaign, Moore looked like a future No. receiver in the second half of the season. In his final seven games before winding up on IR, Moore averaged 8.1 targets per game, a 17-game pace of 138 looks. He also produced six touchdowns during the stretch and topped double-digit fantasy points in six of those seven contests. All this despite suboptimal quarterback play bodes very well for Moore’s potential and his 19.3 air yards per target (more than Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson) are indicative of a player with superior downfield playmaking ability Kadarius Toney (New York Giants) – After posting very modest first-year numbers due to various injuries and abysmal quarterback play, there is an opportunity that Toney can be acquired for a second-round pick or even less. While Toney’s overall numbers were muted, he flashed some serious playmaking skills. Toney averaged an impressive 2.13 yards per route run and led all NFL wideouts with a broken or missed tackle forced on 46.2% of his routes. If the Giants can get a credible quarterback, Toney has the athleticism to be an elite after-the-catch difference-maker. Points Earned per route vs MAN coverage 2021 (>15 tgt) H. Ruggs .153 Cooper Kupp .143 Kadarius Toney .142👀 Tyler Lockett .130 DK Metcalf .121 Cordarrelle Patterson .115 A.J. Brown .114 Jauan Jennings .102 Davante Adams .098 ASB .097 Diontae Johnson .093 Justin Jefferson .089 — #TagsStrong💪 (@JodySmithNFL) February 26, 2022 Nico Collins (Houston Texans) – Another sophomore option that was a Day Two pick one year ago, Collins played 38.3% of Houston’s snaps in his rookie season but that role is almost certainly going to expand in his second campaign. Collins and Brandin Cooks, who is widely rumored to be a trade candidate again, are the only wideouts on the active roster who are under contract. If Cooks is dealt, Collins could conceivably be the No. 1 WR in Houston for the rebuilding Texans. With perhaps the worst roster in football, the Texans are expected to lose plenty of games in 2022, which sets up lots of favorable game scripts for Collins and the passing attack. Cedrick Wilson (Dallas Cowboys) – Although currently an unrestricted free agent, Wilson played very well for Dallas last season when promoted into the lineup. In all, Wilson snagged 45-of-61 targets for 602 yards and 6 touchdowns- easily all career-best figures. Wilson also accumulated a 130.6 QB rating when targeted last season, which ranked 5th among all NFL wide receivers. The best-case scenario would be for Wilson to re-sign in Dallas and move into the lineup in 3-wide sets if fellow free-agent Michael Gallup were to sign elsewhere, or the club was to cut ties with Amari Cooper. But even if he signs with another squad, Wilson played well enough to warrant late-round considerations and is worth a speculative trade inquiry. Sell High Mike Evans (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) – Evans was insanely efficient last season, posting top-10 fantasy numbers on a mere 113 targets (25th) and 74 receptions (26th.) Of course, with Tom Brady under center, that kind of production can occur, but with Brady retired and the Bucs also potentially losing Chris Godwin and TE Rob Gronkowski, Evans is going to face a lot of double-teams and blanket coverage from number one corners. Also, there is no chance Evans comes anywhere close to those 14 touchdowns without Brady. While Evans should be good for another 100-plus targets and 1000-plus receiving yards, he’s more likely to post solid WR2 numbers than another WR1 season, making this a good time to cash out. Gabriel Davis (Buffalo Bills) – If recency bias is any indicator, some fantasy football managers out there are willing to trade an upcoming 2022 first-round rookie pick for Davis. If that’s the case, Davis would represent the best sell high value of any wide receiver this offseason. That four-score playoff game was nice but Davis was used sparingly in 2021, producing just two games all season with more than 50 yards. While Emmanuel Sanders is expected to depart, which would free up more snaps for Davis, being able to acquire a top-10 pick in this draft is terrific value. Jalen Reagor (Philadelphia Eagles) – Just two seasons after being selected with the 21st overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, Reagor looks like the latest in a long list of first-round wide receiver busts. Despite playing in all 17 games of his sophomore season, Reagor eclipsed 50 receiving yards just twice and produced single-digit fantasy points in 15-of-17 contests. Granted, the Eagles aren’t an explosive passing attack, but Reagor averaged an abysmal 0.7 yards per route run, which ranked 199th in the NFL. He also hauled in just 2 of 15 contested targets, resulting in the eighth-lowest contested catch rate (15.4%) in the league. If anyone in your league was a Reagor fan or will give up anything of value hoping the 23-year-old can still develop, take what you can get.
