BALLER MOVE: Target ~250
CURRENT ADP: ~380
ANALYSIS: Dynasty owners have been all over Davante Adams and the Packers offense this year, with the departure of Jordy Nelson and the return of Aaron Rodgers. There is no denying the upside that this offense brings, and just how good Rodgers and his receivers can be for fantasy. While one of the popular late-round picks in recent years has been Geronimo Allison, it is Jake Kumerow this season. The 26-year-old former practice squad WR of the Bengals and the Patriots has bounced around between these two teams on the practice squad since 2015, but has not shown enough to be a factor into the regular season.
One thing to do with veteran studs like Rodgers is listening to what they say. When someone of his pedigree talks, the rest of the team, including the coaches, listens. The rookies have struggled some during the pre-season as Marquez Valdes-Scantling had a drop, J'mon Moore had a drop, and Equanimeous St. Brown got stripped. Randall Cobb has been a popular name to take late this year but has been dealing with some injuries, which is not new for him. Allison has not been a factor and still has a chance to be a late-round guy that may get taken in your dynasty leagues with the hope of upside.
On Kumerow, however, Rodgers says, "If you’re playing today, you’d like him on the field." https://t.co/i49TKWAxef
Do not expect immediate value, let alone fantasy production out of Kumerow, but with the way that group of receivers is looking, it is never a bad idea to take a flyer on a potential weapon of Rodgers'. If you are in a deeper league and have a spot to dabble with, do not be afraid to pick him up and stash him.
