This is the data set used.

Let’s take a look...
1. Draft Capital -

Round 1 - 7

Round 2 - 10

Round 3 - 5

Round 5 - 2

Day 1 or 2 is basically a requirement. The two outliers are Stefon Diggs (who was injured ACL) and Ty Hill. And we all know his outlier story.
2. Height. I wouldn’t normally think this is something worth mentioning, but check it out...

5’9” or shorter - 0

5’10” or 5’11” - 3

6’0” or 6’1” - 11

6’2” or taller - 10

Just interesting stuff there.
3. 40 time. This may surprise you.

4.39 or faster - 4

4.40 - 4.49 - 8

4.50 - 4.59 - 10

4.60 or slower - 2

M Thomas, Nuk, D Adams are all in the upper 4.5’s. 40 time has limiter, as you don’t want to see above a 4.6, but as long as the player is in the 4.4, 4.5 range.
4. College Dominator. There are a number of ways to measure this, so I just used http://playerprofiler.com .

29 or less (below 50th percentile):
3 players

30 - 34 (50-66 %):
7 players

35-39 (67-80 %):
7 players

40 or more (80+ %):
7 players
5. Breakout age. Again, there are a few different ways to measure ‘when’ a player broke out. I use http://playerprofiler.com  as the standard.

18 year old BOA - 7

19 year old BOA - 9

20 year old BOA - 6

21 yr old + BOA - 2

Ty Hill still an outlier.
So. In review. If you’re looking for an elite Dynasty Wide Receiver in the 2020 class - here is what you’re you are seeking:

Drafted in rounds 1-3
6’0” or taller
A 4.59 or better 40-Time
A college dominator of 30 or better
A BOA of 18 or 19 years old

...
There is more to it than just this, of course. But if you are looking at a player that violates a couple of these categories, then just know you are betting on an outlier.

Always try to increase your hit rate. Start with the basics and go from there.
And did RBs a while back ...
