Every week I am going to do a “Buy/Sell/Hold” for the upcoming rookie class and will eventually transfer into all NFL players. I am categorizing these players based on recent trends or lack thereof trends of each player, enjoy. This week I am looking at Justin Jefferson, James Proche and Denzel Mims.

Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
Yet another example of why players should leave once they have favorable draft capital. At this point last year, Herbert was considered in contention for the first overall pick of the NFL Draft. This year, Herbert’s draft capital is more questionable to an extent, he’s simply not falling outside of the first round. Much like Daniel Jones last year, Herbert is given the opportunity to make a team fall in love with him so much that it vaults his draft capital.

Senior Bowl week is one of the most exciting times of the year. Every year, players take advantage of the opportunity to impress coaches, vaulting themselves up draft boards. Last year, Daniel Jones received rave reviews during the Senior Bowl and David Gettlemen was quoted saying that this was where they really fell in love with him. He was drafted fifth overall.

While creating my 2020 WR Model, I found a few under the radar players not getting much love currently, but I believe these players 100% deserve your attention leading up to and after the NFL draft. These players all have elements that both analytic nuts and film grinders should be able to appreciate. They all “broke-out” their sophomore year, and have good traits seen on film. When a player checks both of those boxes, I am officially intrigued. Keep reading to see my breakdowns of these potential sleepers.
My goal for this piece is to lay out my personal experience with building depth at the wide receiver position over the last few seasons. I have come to find that targeting wide receivers who are the second options on certain teams have allowed me to bank up significant depth and afforded me opportunities to make moves for other positions.

In this article, I’m going to walk you through three players that had a down season in 2019, but who I expect to either bounce back or breakout in 2020. For variety’s sake, I’ve decided to look at a running back, wide receiver, and tight end. Also, I’ve picked three very different types of players to explore the different ways to buy at this time in the offseason.

Heading into the 2020 National Championship game, many of the players we wanted to declare did so already. We were just waiting on Chuba Hubbard, Najee Harris, and the guys who were playing in the title game. The 2020 class took major blows when Chuba announced his return to school and reports came out about Najee returning. It recovered in a big way when Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins announced his declaration for the 2020 NFL Draft.

Name: Michael Warren II Position: RB College: Cincinnati Classification: Junior Height: 5 ft 11 in Weight: 222 lbs Michael Warren, an underrated prospect out of Cincinnati, has declared to enter this running back heavy draft. While the class is talented, I don’t think that will make him fall by any means. We will take a

This is one of my favorite times of the year for football season. Seeing which prospects will make the jump from college to the pros is always exciting. There are a few all-star games that highlight these events. The biggest of them all is the Senior Bowl. The second biggest is the East-West Shrine Bowl. While this game doesn’t feature a lot of players who become major contributors for our dynasty teams, there have been a few. John Brown, Robby Anderson, and Emmanuel Sanders all appeared in this game. There are a few prospects I will be keeping my eye on this weekend.

The strengths of the 2020 class lie at the running back and wide receiver positions. The quarterback and tight end classes are not nearly discussed as much. When Tua injured his hip, any excitement about this class immediately ceased. With questions surrounding Tua’s health, dynasty owners had to wait for weeks to learn about his next step. Luckily for dynasty owners, he decided to forgo his senior season by entering the 2020 NFL Draft. Tua is the talent that this quarterback class desperately needed.

#1: Evaluate Your Current Leagues and Your 2020 Plan
In simple terms, what this means is that before you manage your rosters and conduct trades, you should make sure that you’re committed to the league for the 2020 cycle. There is no shame in leaving a league for any reason. Those reasons can range from being overstretched in too many leagues, to not enjoying the league, to wanting to play leagues at a different level of buy-in, be that lower or higher.

I begin my Rookie Watch series on Wisconsin Junior, Jonathan Taylor. You’ll find his collegiate stats here. No doubt, the badger was a dominant college running back–scoring 50 touchdowns in three years. The Badgers are a successful running team year in and year out. They are known for their inside and outside-zone running schemes. Recent alumni Melvin Gordon and James White were also very successful at Wisconsin. They are typically well-coached and tough to stop on the ground.

Pre-Draft Roster Moves: Part 2. Everyone treats the offseason differently. While I would not recommend making drastic changes to your roster or filling your league-mates’ inboxes with trade offers designed to overhaul your team, making calculated adjustments during this “downtime” can set you up for success come the NFL Draft and your subsequent rookie draft. With that in mind, I am going to touch on a few players that I think you should make moves on, either trading away or trading for before the NFL Draft. These are players who I believe will have significant value changes once their team completes the draft. Looking ahead and capitalizing on values in the offseason can set your team up for success come next fall.

Dynasty owners who have sold out for the 2020 class have been quite fortunate in the past few weeks. Almost every prospect we wanted to declare did declare. The decision could have gone differently for the talented trio from Alabama. After a disappointing season—anything other than a title is a disappointment for them—it wouldn’t have been inconceivable for the Tua Tagovailoa, Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy to return for another shot. After all, they didn’t win the titles for two consecutive seasons. Thankfully, dynasty owners wouldn’t have to wait until 2021 for them. On January 4th, Jerry Jeudy became the first to announce his declaration for the 2020 NFL Draft.

I’ve been a Hooper fan for a couple of years now. He’s improved every season and 2018 proved to me that he’d broken out. Austin Hooper’s appeal during the draft season was where he was being drafted. Hooper had around 10 ADP which made him the 11th TE taken on average. This was crazy to me considering he finished the 2018 season as the TE6 securing 71 receptions on 81 targets for 660 yards and four touchdowns. Well, he sure didn’t disappoint, Hooper once again finished as the TE6. He caught 75 of 97 targets 787 yards and six touchdowns while starting just 10 games due to a knee injury.
