A converted TE to WR has nice size and did produce very good combine numbers. He played WR as a freshman at Pittsburgh, then converted to defense as a reserve linebacker his sophomore year. Then he played TE his junior and senior seasons. Dickerson had 45 receptions for 508 yards (11.3 avg.) and 10 touchdowns during his senior season. At the combine, Dickerson ran a 4.40 in the 40 yard dash and his vertical jump was 43 ½ inches. His size 6'3" 230 lbs compares to Andre Johnson's size. Now I'm not saying that Dickerson has the same talent as Johnson, but there are some similarities other than size here that you can't ignore. Dickerson possesses the same speed as Johnson and a better vertical jump. Houston could sure use a better WR #2 than Jacoby Jones or Kevin Walter and Dickerson could be the one for the job long term. There are many WR prospects on many teams that we all stash as a lottery ticket, but a lot of those prospects have their own deficiencies or lousy QB situation, which is one area in fantasy football we can't ignore as much as we want to. You could do worse than Matt Schaub throwing the ball, so he could have a lot of FF value if given the chance in Houston. Not sure if Jacoby Jones will sign elsewhere in 2011, but if he does you should keep an eye on Dickerson as a possible sleeper. In leagues with large rosters (24+) you should be able to find a spot at the end of your bench for someone like Dickerson.
