BALLER MOVE: Target in middle to late rounds as a solid WR3
CURRENT ADP: 177 STD, 132 PPR
ANALYSIS: Brain Quick has always had a fitting name. The 26-year-old ran a 4.55 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine a few years back, a solid time made even more impressive by the fact he stands a robust 6'3" and weighs nearly 220 pounds. He also possesses above average athleticism for a wide receiver with that body type. Last season seemed to be the year Quick would put it all together, ranking as fantasy's 20th-best WR through the first six weeks of the 2014 campaign. However, a shoulder injury ended his season in Week 8. Now heading into 2015, Quick is back to full health and has loads of sleeper potential.
Not only has the Rams' wideout flashed brilliance in the past, but he has done so with poor QB play supporting him. A majority of the targets Quick received in 2014 came from Austin Davis, and every one of the young receiver's career targets have come from either Davis, Sam Bradford, Shaun Hill, or Kellen Clemons. That's not the greatest group. Now Nick Foles is under center, and he is arguably the best QB Quick has ever had, and the potential for points is higher for the Rams than it has been in years.
Quick still boasts the size and speed to be a dangerous threat on the outside, and will enter the preseason as Foles' number one option at WR. As long as he can stay healthy, the 26-year-old will have every chance in 2015 to post solid numbers and should end up a strong WR3, with possible WR2 appeal. His ADP in non-PPR leagues puts him 59th among all wide receivers, and he should finish well above that when all is said and done in 2015.
