Searching Rookie Wide Receivers for Upside | Football Outsiders
Antonio Gandy-Golden is the most obvious injury replacement for Kelvin Harmon, set to miss his entire sophomore season with an ACL tear. Intuitively, that would make him one of the best candidates for this exercise. But Gandy-Golden suffers because of his draft status. As a fourth-round selection, he was the 17th player at his position selected and likely isn’t on the same talent level as the Round 1 players. History suggests he is unlikely to excel immediately as a rookie. And subjectively, I’m enamored with undrafted second-year receiver Steven Sims. For me, he’s the better Washington breakout candidate this year.
