Bryce Lance

Lance is a fluid athlete with smooth hips and lightning-fast speed. He can quickly get up to top gear while also having the skill to stop on a dime and sink his hips on comebacks and curls. He's deadly on out and ups and double moves. Overall, Lance is a strong route runner who plays through contact. He can gain early separation with a solid release package and the in-route bells and whistles. Lance can telegraph his route breaks at times with exaggerated movements at the top of his stem. He'll need to continue to clean that up, but it's not a consistent issue. Lance is an electric field stretcher with solid ball tracking and the body control to adjust to back shoulder targets and sideline catches. Lance is a catch point winner with a 61.5% contested target catch rate. He flashes a soft set of hands with only a 3.8% drop rate, which is even more impressive when you consider the degree of difficulty of his targets. Lance has a 14.1 aDOT in college with 15.5 aDOT in his final season. In 2025, 30.4% of his target volume was 20 yards or more downfield. Dynasty Outlook: The Saints selected Lance in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Adding Lance to a wide receiver room that already includes Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson should equal fireworks in 2026. Lance could struggle to see consistent volume as the team's field stretcher behind Olave, Tyson, and likely Juwan Johnson, though. Johnson could be gone as soon as 2027 or 2028, though, and Olave is a free agent after this season, so Lance could find himself as the team's WR2 in 2027 if they don't retain Olave. Lance is oozing with upside with a team on the rise. He could be a swing from the heels home run pick in the second round of your rookie drafts.
