how many of those were high round picks in fantasy? Rarely is anyone "relying" on a rookie WR for fantasy purposes

Is this a common strategy?

Nope. The two rookies that were 1st rounders this year are being drafted in the 10th.

Looking at that list, weren’t almost all of them injured their rookie season?

And I think Kirk has a better year than both. Kid is a good football player and could legit be the #2 option in Arizona.

Gonna be hard for him to be fantasy relevant this year. Fitz and DJ will get the majority of targets, and Seals-Jones will get a lot, too.
