Fantasy Football's Riskiest Picks
โDominant slot receiver who can beat press coverage with speed and quickness.
โExplosive speed off the line of scrimmage; eats up cushions and can separate over the top.
โLeaves man coverage in his dust and is a blur working down the field on vertical routes.
โSafety splitter on go routes.
โElectric runner after the catch.
โSinks his hips and uses quick feet to break on routes.
WEAKNESSES
โSmall for an NFL wide receiver at 5'9" and 178 pounds.
โLimited production in two seasons at Penn State; never had 1,000 yards or 10 TDs in a season.
โHas seen almost no snaps split out at wide receiver after working extensively in the slot.
โLot of drops on tape calls into question his hand size/strength.
โOpens himself up to hits with unnecessary jumps to attack the ball.ย
โLacks the strength to separate with power and does not break tackles.
OVERALL
If K.J. Hamler lands in the right roleโone where he can play in the slot and run deep routesโhe will be a high-caliber playmaker. He has issues with drops, but what he adds in explosive plays is worthwhile. If he doesn't succeed in the NFL, his lack of size and consistent hands will likely do him in, but the speed and downfield value were too good to pass up.
GRADE: 86
