Draft note

by John Paulsen

K.J. Osborn turned in 48 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns operating as the WR3 for the Vikings. In both 2021 (655 yards) and 2022 (650 yards), Osborn cleared 650 yards, though he saw the most playing time (78% snap share) last season. In the 28 games where he's played at least 75% of the snaps, he has averaged 3.8 catches for 49.4 yards and 0.43 touchdowns on 6.0 targets per game. That works out to 9.4 fantasy points per game (half-PPR), or fantasy WR4-type numbers. That looks like his absolute ceiling in the Patriots’ passing attack.

Patriots Beat: Optimism high around WR Ja'Lynn Polk

The Athletic

Aug 20 · 9:45 AM EDT

Ja’Lynn Polk likely will be one of the starting wide receivers when Week 1 arrives, at least until Kendrick Bourne returns from injury. Polk’s training camp hasn’t been spectacular or filled with other-worldly catches, but he has been consistent and done enough for the quarterbacks to trust him.

Demario Douglas probably has been the best wide receiver, but Polk isn’t far behind. He might start behind K.J. Osborn on the depth chart, but optimism is high around the second-round pick out of Washington.

Related players: Javon Baker

Fantasy Impact:

While optimism is high around Polk, it sounds like even if he doesn't get a starting job out of the gate, it should only be a matter of time. Meanwhile, fourth round pick Baker started strong, but looks to be further down the depth chart after a tough stretch, according to the rest of the story. Baker is dealing with drops in practice and running with the fourth-string QB at times. The story said he'll likely start as the team's WR4 or WR5.
