#3 Binjimen Victor

The next rookie Buckeye with the most fantasy football value on the list is Binjimen Victor. He also went undrafted, however he was signed by the New York Giants along with Austin Mack.

There are a few reasons Victor is ranked in front of Mack in terms of fantasy value.

The first is that he made a major jump in terms of production that Victor made from his junior to his senior year. The second is that he has a better NFL build than Mack.

It is true that Victor may need to gain a little bit more weight to gain some strength and injury resistance as he is two inches taller but sixteen pounds lighter than Mack. It is safe to assume that the Giants will want Victor to put on weight, but after an offseason training camp with the Giants and working with the strength coach he will have an even more NFL ready body.

The final reason is that Victor is much more of a deep threat than Mack. He averaged more yards per catch on more receptions than Mack.

Along with this, the Giants as the roster is constructed today have an ample amount of slot receivers and since they have traded Odell Beckham Jr. they have been missing a great deep threat receiver. The combination of size and deep threat potential that Victor has he has more fantasy potential this season than Mack.

However, there are still quite a few receivers in front of him on the depth chart. This means that a lot would have to go right or he would have to greatly impress Giants coaches to get a major role in the offense.

As previously stated, the Giants are in a rebuilding state meaning that because of his youth there is a chance he will be valued higher than some of the older receivers who are currently ahead of him on the depth chart.
