Shawn Siegele examines Chris Olave in his All-the-Metrics series and explains why you might be interested in a high-floor, low-ceiling prospect for dynasty.
The 2022 wide receiver class isn’t going to give us the next Ja’Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson, but as many as nine WRs have been linked to Round 1. That doesn’t even cover all of the great sleepers lurking in Day 2 or a few of the Freak Score stars who could change NFL rosters on Day 3.
RotoViz subscribers know that we love to bludgeon opponents with a WR-heavy approach in redraft and best ball. Our dynasty rosters are built with a deep bench of receiver studs. Receivers win or lose dynasty leagues, and we have you covered from all angles.
- Blair Andrews’ random forest exercise where he finds all of the key boxes to check in your prospect analysis.
- Travis May melds peak adjusted results from the Dominator Rating, yards per team attempt, and TDs per team attempt into the Adjusted Production Index. (Find the full results in the RotoViz Rookie Guide, but I’ll have individual outcomes in this series.)
- Full athletic results and physical comps from the Workout Explorer.
- Advanced metrics, statistical profiles, and Sim Score comps from the Box Score Scout.
By looking at each WR prospect through multiple lenses, I’ll try to answer the four questions posed in my WR article for the Rookie Guide. Does he check the boxes for early breakout and early declare? Does the receiver have plus size or blistering speed? And did the receiver post the type of on-field production that has historically led to NFL greatness?
