Rookie Corners

Postby bruiser » Fri Jun 09, 2017 3:39 am

I'm wayyyyyy early on this subject, as I usually never roster my pair of cornerbacks until September 1st. Alas, I've been following some nuggets out of OTAs and bought on some hype of these young rookie corners. Let's hear your thoughts on some of the lesser-known CBs making noise.

I'm looking for CBs that slipped through your rookie drafts and are sitting on waivers. I never invest a draft pick on CB, even Adoree Jackson with his return yardage.

Kevin King (R) - Packers: I fell hard in love with this idea when TomK27 put up a graphic of the Pack and their blitzing corners. A closer look revealed that King has LCB size, and some news articles confirmed he is pushing Damarious Randall into a NCB role. I've scooped King off waivers in every league... and licking my chops

Teez Tabor (R) - Lions: Another one of TomK's charts revealed improved production rates for dome cornerbacks at home... (maybe on a pass-heavy team, too). Anyways, Tabor checks all of those boxes, so he's worth dabbling in this experiment. I always invest minimum wage at this position, so if the experiment fails I cut these players without pause. The hype out of OTAs is that Tabor could push Nevin Lawson for the starting spot opposite Darius Slay.
Just a guy who loves fantasy football - specifically defense.

I think Quincy Wilson could turn out the best rookie season for any CB. He will absolutely be an every down player in Indy, and as long as Vontae is healthy (never a given), Quincy should see a plethora of targets his way.

Also, dome team.

Also, his offense will put up points.

I like Awuzie, he's a fantastic tackler that should have a decent floor for tackle heavy leagues.

If I drafted rookie CB's Tabor would be second on my list behind Adams.
