AMLoB Rookies to Watch for 2023 Update

 

Offensive Rookies to Watch

 

1.) 1st Round QB’s

 

  • Danny Wuerffel, ATL-Wuerffel has had an up and down season, but he has had success which the numbers don’t necessarily show being a big part of winning 5 of the last 6 games for the Falcons squad. He has helped put this team into potential playoff position and is proving he was worth the 1st pick.
  • Cartier Holland, GB-Holland has played really well overall this season having a 22-10 TD to INT ratio but he is really surging as of late. Also winning 5 of his last 6 like Wuerffel his numbers don’t really reflect how big of an impact he has made with his arm as well as his feet. The 2nd pick in the draft has shown he is worthy as he looks for a strong finish to the season and hold onto OROTY.
  • Charlie Huston, JAX-The Jags QB, Huston, has played solid football this season by showing his dual threat ability which no one knew he had. He has led his team to a 7-4 record and looks to make the playoffs his rookie season. He’s had some struggles lately but I think he’ll get it back on track and finish strong down the stretch.
  • Eric Fiedler, CIN-Fiedler has led his team to the best record of the bunch at 8-3. Having Farley in the backfield helps a lot to carry the offensive load but Fiedler has put up some solid numbers in the process. He has the Bengals team rolling and I expect that to continue through these last few games so let’s see where it goes.

 

 

2.) Top 4 Rookie WR’s

 

  • Dixon Cox, CAR-Cox is making it happen with a very talented receiving group and the fact he still stands out shows his talent level. Being one of the league leaders in receiving and being dangerous in the return game with 3 punt return TD’s have proved valuable. He gives this Panthers team a WR that can stretch the field which makes this team really dangerous.
  • Ed Tarrant, KC-Tarrant is a WR in which AMLoB hasn’t seen since Jerry Rice Jr.’s rookie season. Tall, fast and the ability to make any catch needed makes him ridiculously good. Tarrant has consistently been at the top of the WR statistics this season and looks to continue his dominance. I can see him making a lot of noise come playoff time for this Chiefs team.
  • Asa Lane, PIT-Rarely do you see a WR come in and make a transition between a talent like Antonio Brown to a rookie seem seamless. Lane has made big plays for this team all year and even though it hasn’t resulted in a lot of wins his impact on the offense is very apparent. Lane leads the Steelers in catches and yards and looks to finish the season strong which hopefully translates to more wins for his team.
  • Xavier Marchand, GB-This undrafted talent that has been big for a rookie QB and the offense as a whole in Green Bay. Leading the team in receptions and yards, no one anticipated Marchand being this good especially this early. If he continues at this level he could potentially end up with a pro bowl appearance as he helps the Packers playoff push.

 

3.) HB Benny Snell Jr., San Francisco 49ers

 

Snell has made this offense into something great as well as help QB Roger Tapia in the process. Being the first back to over 1,000 yards this season and adding 16 total TD’s shows just how sensational he has been. People questioned whether he could be a work horse on the NFL level and he has proven to be just that so far. As he continues to help balance this offense out and make plays down the stretch, be ready for him to be a huge part of the 9ers playoff run.

 

4.) HB Veneton Copeland, New York Giants

 

Copeland has been really good for this Giants team as he’s helped them to their NFC East leading 6-6 record thus far. While he hasn’t had quite the production we thought he would, he has definitely proven to be valuable with almost 600 rushing yards and almost 300 more receiving with 7 total TD’s. As the Giants look to get some big wins down the stretch, Copeland be a huge part of that so I believe he’ll finish the season at at least a solid level as the Giants look to hold onto the NFC East.

 

5.) TE Adrian Printers, Washington Redskins

 

Printers has been pretty impressive this season despite only finding the end zone twice. His development has been hindered by the coach leaving mid season as this team has struggled to find its footing. Even with all of that he’s still amongst the top at his position yardage wise so we’ll see how this season finishes for Printer and his team.

 

Defensive Rookies to Watch

 

1.) MLB Joe Bachie, Detroit Lions

 

The former #3 pick has come up big time for this defense in Detroit, so much so that he’s overshadowed Jarrad Davis this season. Bachie is currently tied for the league lead in INT’s as well as having returned 2 of them for TD’s. The fact he’s constantly making plays has been great to watch. He is definitely a major part in what has been and hopefully will continue to be a special season for him and this Lions defense.

 

2.) MLB Keith Hughes, CLE

 

Keith Hughes has played great this season, being tied with the rookie we mentioned right before him, in INT’s. Now where they differ aside from Bachie being picked 3rd overall and Hughes at 28th in the 7th is that Hughes has forced 2 fumbles and has 2 sacks as well. He’s playing with intensity and a chip on his shoulder hat has him wanting to continue to shake up the league. In my opinion he’s the DROTY in a close race right now but it is a very tight race and can’t flip sides at any moment.

 

3.) RE Marcus Davenport, San Francisco 49ers

 

Davenport has been a big part of this 9ers defense, leading his team in sacks as well as being close to the top in the league. With 1 forced fumble as well, Davenport has a great chance to take DROTY in the NFC and make a pro bowl. I’m sure Davenport will continue to make an impact and keep the machine going on this defense as the playoffs are looming, keep your eyes on him which shouldn’t be hard at all since he makes a lot of plays.

 

4.) CB Spencer Toefield, Kansas City Chiefs

 

Toefield may not have the numbers when you look at the paper to tell you what he does for this defense but his ability definitely hasn’t gone unnoticed. Stepping in and making an impact in a loaded secondary is tough unless you have the talent to keep up which Toefield has shown he can keep up an then some. 36 tackles, a INT, a forced fumble, 7 deflections and a TD are just the stats you can see. His impact is more than those numbers so look to see him continue in the weeks leading up to the playoffs.

 

5.) MLB Corey Trotter, GB

 

Trotter has had a very impressive rookie campaign thus far. 47 tackles, 4 sacks, 6 INT’s and a TD have made a big difference for this team. Him and Tuni have made this defense play at an elite level this season as the Packers are making their playoff push. With him being a sleeper for DROTY don’t be surprised if the former 3rd round pick takes it. He’s already showed he is just as good as anyone defensively from this draft and I look for that to continue late as we push towards the playoffs.
