Laviska Shenault Jr.

He's a solid combination of size/speed, and in the right offense, he can do some damage. He is built kind of like a big running back, and can be lined up anywhere, including the backfield. Think of a player like Cordarrelle Patterson. Players like Shenault can't be pigeonholed into one particular role in order for them to shine, so landing spot will matter quite a bit with a player like him who's not a polished route-runner. One thing he does very well is vary his speeds to manipulate defenders down the field.

Laviska Shenault Jr. (core) will undergo surgery

After running a 4.59 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, it was revealed that Shenault will undergo surgery to repair a core muscle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Shenault pulled up at the end of his 40-yard dash run, which did seem suspicious. We now know that it was because of this injury that he has apparently been dealing with for quite a while now. While surgery to repair the issue is the right move, it's very concerning with Shenault's lengthy injury history. He's the definition of a boom-or-bust pick in Dynasty rookie drafts with the injury concerns, the added weight, and the 40-yard dash time.
