Cameron Dantzler

Overall, a long and lanky corner who showed decent coverage ability against the corners he faced on tape. Didn't play anyone of substantial talent in the games that I observed, but showed good mirroring ability. Insanely long arms, but a very thin frame for his size. Good in run support and willing to come up and make a play. Tends to be caught flat footed in coverage when lined up in off man and waits for the receiver to make his move before backpedaling. Will get exposed doing that in the NFL. Great ability to make plays downfield though with his tracking ability and length. A good prospect, but needs to have a lot of kinks worked out. Can he be strong enough or add any weight to his frame to reroute NFL WRs at the LOS though? Or is he exclusively suited to a zone scheme?

Fantasy Impact

Dantzler missed Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Colts due to a rib injury. He is trending in the wrong direction towards playing Week 3. The Vikings could be without their top two corners. Keep an eye on the inactive list once it's announced Sunday morning.
