Green Bay Packers: Top 10 fantasy rookie rankings in NFC North

9. Temuchin “Bucky” Hodges, TE, Vikings

The former Hokie adds an intoxicating dimension of size, speed and outstanding leaping ability, which should allow him some opportunities to make plays—and score touchdowns—down in the congested areas inside the 20 yard line.

But those expecting to start Hodges on a regular basis would be advised to cool their heels and just monitor his development while either stashing him on a deep bench or storing him on your dynasty league taxi squad.

The 6-foot-6 tight end may run a 4.57 with a 39-inch vertical, but he has way too many deficiencies to be any type of factor as a rookie and that all starts with his hands.

Hodges’ 58-percent catch rate in 2015 was concerning enough to keep him in school an extra year, but though he improved that number as a senior, his career 8.28-percent (as per Pro Football Focus) drop rate explains why he fell to the sixth round.

Many of the balls the converted high school quarterback managed to hold on to, moreover, were of the double-catch variety, which will most likely result in incompletions versus quicker, more athletic defenders at the next level.

When one also factors in the lazy routes Hodges ran in the ACC, his late-round draft status starts making even more sense. In the NFL, the freakishly gifted weapon won’t be able to get open on size and athletic ability alone.

An astute observer can easily make the case that Hodges was an underachiever at the college level considering how a starter with his exceptional combine numbers registered a meager 3.0 yards after the catch.

About 20 receptions and four touchdowns is the upside here as the young man learns behind a still-in-his-prime Kyle Rudolph.
