We are nearing the crescendo of the NFL off-season. As such, the window for making final roster adjustments is drawing to a close.
In that spirit, I’ve selected players to buy, sell and hold for all 32 NFL teams. This miniseries will be broken down by division, with 12 players highlighted per article and 96 overall. In a 12-team league with 20 roster spots (similar to the DLF ADP), that accounts for 40% of the players!
Before we dive in, a few notes and disclaimers:
Player values were obtained from the combination of the most current ADP (pending the lead time necessary for authorship), and the DLF top-250 rankings;
The league paradigm is assumed to be PPR and 1QB (players in superflex and/or 2QB leagues would likely have some divergence from those I’ve selected);
Opinions on players are my own and do not represent all of DLF; and finally,
Exact player values are always going to be dependent on individual leagues and owners, and may not be consistent with the assertions provided herein.
With that said, let’s conclude with the NFC West! Players will be profiled individually, with a tabulated summary of all 12 provided at the article’s conclusion.
In a draft class full of Lilliputian receivers, Wilson stands as one of the few oversized, athletic pass catchers with day two (or better) draft capital.
As shown by his spider chart, Wilson displayed above-average measurables in height, weight, and explosion and burst metrics, while also showing elite strength. His 40-yard dash is nothing to write home about, but coupled with his stature ultimately yields an above-average speed score.
With the somewhat surprising release of DeAndre Hopkins, Wilson offers something different than mighty mites Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore. Unfortunately, what he lacks is their respective collegiate pedigrees – after a solid freshman season that saw him establish a breakout age of 19.5, Wilson only competed in 14 contests over the next three years. Drafting him requires a sizeable leap of faith, as an older prospect with severe gaps in his CV.
Still, I tend to gravitate to players whose real-life draft capital outweighs their perceived dynasty value. By ADP Wilson is going as the WR70, and in rookie drafts he’s going in the early fourth round despite his stature as a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. As a likely starter, albeit on a bad passing offense, these present as reasons to buy.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed just 14-of-32 passes for 242 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions in a playoff loss to Houston.
