Fantasy Football | Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook: Caleb Douglas
Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Caleb Douglas
The Dolphins reached a bit here for Douglas, but his 6’3.5″ height and 32.5″ arm length are appealing. My problem with Douglas is that he had too many drops (7) last season, and he didn’t make as many contested catches as I’d like to see. He feels a lot like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and I’m concerned this isn’t going to ultimately work out in terms of meaningful production for fantasy purposes. He could be a home run threat, but that’s wildly unpredictable in fantasy. I’d pass.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp: Caleb Douglas
He projects as a solid WR3/4 for an NFL franchise. Douglas is a well-rounded wide receiver. His ceiling might not be incredibly high, but the floor is quite high and projectable. Douglas has solid burst off the line. He has good bend and fluidity to his movements. When tasked with a double move, he gets back up to top speed quickly. He can get deep with route nuance and enough raw speed to stretch the field, while he likely won’t be asked to fill a field-stretcher-only role in the NFL. Douglas has good hip sink and the ability to deaccelerate well, especially for a player of his size. He offers some RAC upside with his upper body strength. He did have only 5.4 and 5.9 yards after the catch per reception across his final two collegiate seasons, but he did also force 17 missed tackles in that timeframe. Douglas has a varied release package that he deploys with a solid split release and wide step release. He can improve upon his footwork overall, though. His footwork at the line can get “Tik Toky” sometimes, but it’s not a consistent problem. He has a good understanding of varying route tempo and depth depending upon the zone coverage that is presented.
