This is where I am before we enter the meat of silly season: I think there are 13 great bets to be starters in our game Lawrence, Wilson, Fields Etienne, Harris, Williams Chase, Wa

Andy Dufresne

I get a kick out of amateur sports writers trying to use fancy words. You're looking to use "innate" here, chief.

Strategic bump so that this article is near the top of a fresh page - dominator rating & breakout age are useful variables to consider when you are looking at NFL rookies for fantasy football purp

The Athletic's Stephen Holder said the Colts drafted SMU TE Kylen Granson for his pass-catching prowess. 

Granson has been panned for his lack of blocking chops, and the Colts were widely lambasted for taking him in the fourth round of last week's NFL Draft. "Fortunately for Granson, he’s not here to push big bodies off the line of scrimmage," Holder said. "If that were the goal, the Colts would assuredly have picked someone else. They were looking for a versatile pass-catching tight end, often lined up detached from the formation, to create mismatches with linebackers." Granson played half his snaps from the slot in two years with SMU, averaging 16.1 yards per catch and finishing second in school history among tight ends in both receptions (78) and receiving yards (1,257). Like any tight end in a Frank Reich offense, Granson holds some fantasy intrigue. The immortal Jack Doyle remains the favorite to start the season as the team's primary pass catching tight end. Injury issues for Indy's tight ends could turn Granson into a deep-league fantasy option in 2021.

Predicting rookie RB Success Post-NFL Draft (2021 Fantasy Football)

Thanks, Faust. I was updating each guy's page individually with the grade, but this works really nicely here. It's worth familiarizing one's self with it, even if one disagrees.

One thing I both love and hate about fantasy rookie drafts is how great they look in May, then the following May a lot of them are just roster cloggers with either no path to playing time, or in a offense you realize won't get better anytime soon.
