6 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell has always been his harshest critic. The former first-round pick has failed to live up to expectations during his first two years in the NFL, but indications out of training camp suggest that Treadwell may finally be able to turn things around this season. To be clear, Treadwell is not going to be a Pro Bowl caliber receiver at any point in his career, but the potential to be a weekly offensive contributor is still there. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer mentioned that quarterback Kirk Cousins has an open mind about the embattled receiver. Cousins has not heard all the negativity that has plagued Treadwell throughout his young career and has not developed any preconceived notions about him aside from what he has seen on the field in practice. Treadwell is getting a fresh start with a new quarterback and has looked really solid practicing with the first team offense. It seems likely that the WR3 spot on the roster will belong to him come Week 1. While there are a lot of touches to go around on that Vikings offense, taking a late flier on the athletically-gifted receiver could pay off in deep leagues if Treadwell can carry some of this success over into the regular season.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
