Third Round SuperFlex 2020 Dynasty Rookie Rankings
21) Laviska Shenault (WR10 – Jacksonville Jaguars)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: WR12, No. 66 overall
RAS: 6.98
Laviska Shenault was used as a jack-of-all-trades weapon at Colorado, and that seems likely to be his role in Jacksonville. At least until he masters the wide receiver position. Shenault excelled on sweeps and drags near the line of scrimmage, giving second-year quarterback Gardner Minshew another weapon to sprinkle with targets.
22) Bryan Edwards (WR11 – Las Vegas Raiders)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: WR14, No. 77 overall
RAS: N/A
One of my favorite sleepers in CFB last season, Bryan Edwards’ dynasty stock has been a roller-coaster over the past few months. Despite subpar quarterback play, Edwards was a productive four-year starter at South Carolina, but a pre-draft foot injury made it unable for the wide receiver to work out for teams.
Edwards fell to the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft and lands with a deep wide receiver group in Las Vegas. Still, the former Gamecocks standout is talented enough to take over Tyrell Williams’ starting position by year two.
23) Zack Moss (RB7 – Buffalo Bills)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: RB16, No. 236 overall
RAS: 2.88
Being labeled as unathletic and injury-prone has smart dynasty players concerned, but former Utah running back Zack Moss landed in a decent-spot for fantasy production. I seem to be in the minority that sees Moss as the 1b to Devin Singletary’s 1a, but there’s little doubt that this backfield will be a timeshare. The Bills were never going to commit to Singletary playing 96.3% of snaps as he did in Week 15 against New England.
24) Antonio Gibson (RB8 – Washington Redskins)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: WR23, No. 146 overall
RAS: 9.29
A wide receiver in college, Antonio Gibson was announced as a running back by the Washington Redskins. Gibson is still likely to move around the formation, but his inclusion as a running back is a nice boost to the depth of the position. Gibson has an elite RAS, and he seems very likely to out-produce his collegiate statistics.
25) AJ Dillon (RB9 – Green Bay Packers)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: RB5, No. 87 overall
RAS: 9.16
A power-back with surprising athletic traits, AJ Dillon was one of 2020’s fastest risers before landing on a Green Bay Packers team that also features Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Unless he carves out a role as the goalline back, Dillon is unlikely to have a year-one role, but Jones’ impending 2021 free agency makes the former Boston College standout a potential lottery ticket.
26) Darrynton Evans (RB10 – Tennessee Titans)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: RB7, No. 115 overall
RAS: 9.11
A late-riser with elite production and RAS score, running back Darrynton Evans is in a similar position as Dillon. Evans does have a more natural path to year-one production, but Derrick Henry’s presence will forever cap his ceiling. Henry is playing on the franchise tag in 2020, but I just have a difficult time believing the Titans let their offensive centerpiece walk away.
27) Anthony McFarland (RB11 – Pittsburgh Steelers)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: RB12, No. 151 overall
RAS: 4.45
As a straight-line speedster with poor agility scores, Anthony McFarland profiles as a change-of-pace scatback. I saw a lot of Lamar Miller when watching McFarland, and I think that’s a decent comparison for his best-case-scenario outlook.
28) KJ Hamler (WR12 – Denver Broncos)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: WR6, No. 34 overall
RAS: N/A
One of PFN Insider Tony Pauline’s favorites, former Penn State wide receiver KJ Hamler landed on a pretty stacked Broncos offense. Sharing targets with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Noah Fant, Melvin Gordon, Phillip Lindsay, etc. is undoubtedly detrimental to Hamler’s fantasy stock, but the Broncos should manufacture touches for the speedster.
29) Chase Claypool (WR13 – Pittsburgh Steelers)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: WR16, No. 88 overall
RAS: 9.98
An athletic specimen that posted the best RAS score of the wide receiver class, Pittsburgh’s Chase Claypool is a great test-study on NFL Combine vs. production. Claypool is the typical boom-or-bust prospect, but getting drafted by a Steelers franchise notorious for finding mid-round wide receivers is a good value-stabilizer.
30) Van Jefferson (WR14 – Los Angeles Rams)
Ranking on Pauline’s big board: WR20, No. 120 overall
RAS: N/A
Based on athletic profile and production, Van Jefferson is one of the riskiest second-round wide receiver prospects in recent memory. Jefferson is unathletic and never reached 700 receiving yards at Ole Miss or Florida, but he’s one of the best technicians in the 2020 wide receiver class. That’s likely due to being the son of current Jets wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson.
