And in one case, moved down!

Aaron Parker: Dominant Small-School Wide Receiver Target

Dynasty / By /

Aaron Parker checks a lot of boxes. First and foremost, Aaron has impressive age-adjusted college production. He broke out during his true freshman season at age 18 for the Rhody Rams. The Gwynn Park High School product was URI’s primary receiving option. He also had a 34.7% dominator rating (average market share of receiving yards and touchdowns) in his first season. Parker continued to produce at an elite level for Rhode Island. He earned over 35% of their receiving production in each of his final three seasons. He did so with his cousin and fellow NFL Combine invitee, Isaiah Coulter, playing opposite him as well. Parker leaves Rhode Island second all-time in team history with 3,460 career receiving yards and third all-time in touchdowns with 30.

Third Year Wide Receivers: Part 1

Dynasty / By /

In an earlier article, I examined the third-year wide receiver theory commonly held amongst fantasy football players and analysts. What I found, in short, was that the theory holds some water.
