NFL rookie Bryan Edwards is a 2020 wide receiver sleeper and fantasy football ADP draft value. Target him as an undervalued WR in your fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted)
ANALYSIS: Bryan Edwards was an under-the-radar prospect from South Carolina that started gaining steam late in the process. He is a big-bodied receiver that can be very difficult to bring down on initial contact (27 broken tackles in the last two years). Edwards was primarily used in the screen game in college, but much of that was due to the limited abilities of the South Carolina offense. He does have down the field capabilities and has a penchant for making highlight-reel catches. The production for Edwards was steady, even while playing with other good receivers (Deebo Samuel) in a low-octane attack.
Now that he is a Raider, Edwards could find production as early as in his rookie season in 2020. The team was in dire need of a playmaker a year ago and Edwards could fill that void. Derek Carr is the type of QB that is more comfortable working the short to intermediate areas of the field too, something where Edwards thrives.
Edwards played a third of his snaps out of the slot in 2019, but with Hunter Renfrow manning that spot, we could see Edwards out wide more. The Raiders would much rather use a receiver like Tyrell Williams down the field and lessen the targets, giving Edwards the inside track to more work. He could be an intriguing FLEX play in 2020 while getting a lot of targets in this offense, making him a solid PPR target in the last round of your drafts.
