KJ Hamler

I loved KJ Hamler's tape, but this landing spot has him falling down my draft board a bit. Hamler's going to have more of a NFL impact than a fantasy football one, unfortunately. He'll come onto the field in 3WR sets to play the slot and will force a defense to pay attention to him due to his top-end speed. This will open things up for Jerry Jeudy and Noah Fant underneath, but you're unlikely to see Hamler receive more than four targets per game this season, barring an injury. The talent level is there, but in this offense, there's simply too many mouths to feed for him to be a fantasy football star.

KJ Hamler selected No. 46 by Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos have selected wide receiver KJ Hamler with the No. 46 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Hamler is a vertical slot threat out of Penn State who some analysts compare to T.Y. Hilton. He has track-like speed but also a history of drops. Likely a complementary player, Hamler will join Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy as receivers in Denver. Additionally, many are expecting a second-year leap from tight end Noah Fant. The arrow is pointing up on this Drew Lock led offense.
