Marcel Ateman could carve out role as goal-line specialist
by Jody Smith | Sat, Jun 16th 4:16pm EDT
With a potential suspension looming for Martavis Bryant, seventh-round rookie wide receiver Marcel Ateman has a legitimate shot to make the Raiders as a fourth or fifth receiver. Ateman ran a disappointing 4.62-second 40-yard dash at the combine, but at 6-4, 220, fits the profile of a big possession receiver who could make an impact in the red-zone. (East Bay Times)
Fantasy Impact:
If Bryant is indeed lost, Ateman will be competing with Johnny Holton, Seth Roberts, and Griff Whalen for a spot in Oakland's receiving corps. Ateman flashed some big-play potential at Oklahoma State and has the size and tools to stand out in that group as a potential reserve wideout.
