Ohio State Football: Which Buckeye rookies will be Fantasy Football stars?
By Zane Harris
#4 Austin Mack
The next rookie Buckeye who will have the most fantasy potential this season is Austin Mack. He was also an unsigned free agent and signed with the New York Giants.
The Giants do not really have much depth at the receiver position when it comes to star talent. Meaning if there he has in impressive offseason and training camp Mack may find himself seeing the field as soon as the first game.
Along with this, the Giants are going with their second-year quarterback Daniel Jones as the starter this season and the rest of their core pieces are young players. As a result, it is likely they will value youth at skill positions.
This is something that will greatly value Mack who has the potential of being a valued starter and young piece in the Giant’s rebuilding process.
On top of this, his elite route running and ability to shake defenders will be something that is extremely valuable at the next level.
Lastly, being on a team with two other receivers who found their way onto NFL rosters, Mack is already prepared and knows how to play with elite talent at his position and still find a way to get the ball thrown his way.
He is ranked lower on the list because the Giants signed another rookie Buckeye who I believe will have a bigger impact on the Giants this season than Mack. And along with this, Daniel Jones has not quite proved himself as a reliable quarterback to be throwing to your starting receiver.
