Isaac TeSlaa

Dynasty Outlook: TeSlaa was one of the most surprising picks of the entire NFL Draft, both in relation to his draft capital (round three) and the amount Detroit gave up to trade up for him (three third-round picks). The Lions needed to upgrade their WR3 spot and give them some insurance for Jameson Williams, who could walk after the 2025 season. I just don't know if the highly athletic big slot (68.3% slot in college) in TeSlaa was the right answer. In his two seasons at Arkansas, he never had more than 532 receiving yards. He finished with a disappointing 5.0 yards after the catch per reception, 16.4% target per route run rate, and 1.45 yards per route run. I won't be chasing the overwhelming draft capital with TeSlaa when everything else regarding his film and analytical profile screams to stay away. TeSlaa is just another fourth-round rookie pick that will be added to a multitude of taxi squads.

Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com said he believes rookie WR Isaac TeSlaa “could make his earliest impact on special teams.”

Fantasy Impact

TeSlaa did not return kicks in college at Arkansas, but he did run a 4.4 40-yard dash. He'll likely have to wait for his role as a wide receiver early on in his rookie season.
