Now that the draft is over and the college elite have found out where they will play their professional ball, how will they impact your fantasy team? The draft gave us some quality players in some ideal spots, but who are the top five players to look for in your fantasy draft over the summer.
Honorable Mentions:
Jordan Matthews, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
Odell Beckham, WR, New York Giants
Brandin Cooks, WR, New Orleans Saints
Marqise Lee, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Tre Mason, RB, St. Louis Rams
Johnny Manziel, QB, Cleveland Browns
5. Terrance West, RB, Cleveland Browns
West was an absolute work horse in college and had multiple games with numbers that just can’t be explained. West will be paired with Ben Tate, but with Tate’s injury history he becomes a handcuff for owners day one.
4. Eric Ebron, TE, Detroit Lions
Ebron makes the list due to the lack of elite tight ends after Jimmy Graham and a healthy Rob Gronkowski. Ebron is now a piece of the most dangerous offense in the league and provides security for Calvin Johnson. Ebron will make his presence known and could be a TE1 in deeper leagues.
3. Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers look like they want to sling the ball around in abundance this coming season with the addiction of Evans and Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Evans will benefit from the attention Vincent Jackson gets and defenses will have to adjust. Not only is Evans’ stock up, but all Bucs that catch the ball will benefit from each other's presence.
2. Sammy Watkins, WR, Buffalo Bills
Watkins is the number one receiver in Buffalo and EJ Manuel has to make the most of him. This is another situation where the entire receiving core will benefit from each other’s presence. If Watkins doesn't explode this year, you can bet both Robert Woods and Mike Williams will see a big boost in numbers. Watkins can be a WR2 his rookie season, but don't depend on him out of the gate.
1. Bishop Sankey, RB, Tennessee Titans
Sankey is the only player that steps into a situation where he is the guy and has everyone chasing him for the job. Shonn Greene is on his way out and wasn't effective in 2013 and behind him is Jackie Battle. If Sankey were to develop his game, he and Dexter McCluster could be exactly what Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead are in San Diego. He enters this year as a strong flex play and peaks as a RB2 in PPR leagues.
