Jordan Wilkins (RB, IND) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~165

CURRENT ADP: ~175

ANALYSIS: While some within the fantasy community have been proponents of Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins throughout the summer, the fifth-round pick is still being selected three rounds later than fellow newcomer Nyheim Hines. However, a burgeoning list of favorable developments has converged for this 6’1”, 215-pound rookie, which could facilitate a surge in his value at the most opportune time.

He is joining an Indianapolis offense that should be primed to rebound significantly with the reappearance of Andrew Luck after 585 days away from the field. The Colts also do not currently have a definitive feature back, but whoever ascends into the RB1 role will be operating behind an improved offensive line. The most likely candidate for garnering the largest percentage of touches (Marlon Mack) is now contending with a hamstring issue. Meanwhile, the 6'1", 215- pound Wilkins has also performed effectively in training camp and has a chance to earn a consistent workload.

The explosive Hines is capable of serving as a dynamic home run hitter, which should enable him to maintain a presence within the attack. While that makes him an intriguing best ball target, his strengths do not necessarily equate to the desirable attributes of an every-down back. However, Wilkins does have the potential of functioning in that capacity after generating 1,011 yards and nine touchdowns during his final collegiate season, while also collecting 26 receptions for 241 yards and another score.

While the convergence of positive factors may not result in immediate RB1 responsibilities for Wilkins, he has the versatility to commandeer a reasonable number of touches, and the opportunity to seize a sizable workload is unquestioned.
