I'm in a dynasty fantasy football league with a bunch of my buddies from college. I'm trying to employ the glass-half-full approach by saying my team is in "rebuilding mode" as I got last place in the league. The good news is that I have the #1, #3, and #7 pick in next year's rookie draft.
With that in mind, I was starting to do a little research about the top skill position players in the 2019 NFL Draft. I was surprised to find that in the first article I clicked on, Tyler Johnson was rated as the 8th most valuable skill player (for fantasy football purposes) in the draft, assuming he decides to forego his senior season at the U.

"Tyler Johnson will be one of the lesser known players on this list but is every bit as talented as any WR in the country. Johnson has good size at 6’2” 200lbs and is one of the best route runners in the country. He does an excellent job of winning early in his routes and has a great feel for the soft spots in the defense. Johnson is versatile with the ability to line up anywhere on the field. His production shot up this season as he posted over 1,000 yards and double-digit TDs. It is too early to tell where Johnson will land in the draft, but he will certainly be a very productive player at the next level."
Everything that I have read says that this year is a relatively weak draft at the skill positions, and that 2020 will be much stronger. I am firmly in the camp that TJ would benefit greatly from another year with the Gophers, but is are we at all concerned that he decides to throw his name into the draft given the lower level of competition this year?
