Fantasy Impact:

Just last week reports came out that Edwards was catching everything thrown his way, Raiders HC Jon Gruden even compared Edwards to Terrell Owens in training camp. While, beat writer, Levi Edwards said he looked more like Randy Moss. With compliments and comparisons like that it’s hard to imagine Edwards not running with the first-team. He has prototypical size at 6'3”, 212 pounds. He came into the league last season with a 94th-percentile college dominator rating and a 100th-percentile breakout age. While he spent most of his rookie season trying to recover from a foot injury that occurred before the NFL Draft, fantasy managers shouldn't write him off just yet. He's currently being drafted as the WR90, but has a real opportunity to become the team’s No. 2 target behind Darren Waller. As a late-round, low-risk pick, fantasy managers would be wise to invest in the upside of a receiver that could see 100+ targets in 2021. The former third-rounder is someone all dynasty managers should look to acquire at his current value. He's young and, as it sounds, has an easy pathway to a starting role.
