People keep pointing to Terry McLaurin as this great example of a player that was held back in college because of his great teammates and that's why he didn't breakout in college..
Let's take a quick look at the studs holding him back his last two years in college..
2017 receiving yards leaders.
Feel free to stop me when I get to the studs
Parris Campbell - 584
KJ Hill - 549
Terry McLaurin - 436
Johnnie Dixon - 422
Binjimen Victor - 349
Austin Mack - 343
2018 receiving leaders
Parris Campbell - 1,063
KJ Hill - 885
Terry McLaurin - 701
Johnnie Dixon - 669
Id argue that Terry was in fact NOT held back by a crowded receiving room.
He is a unicorn.
He is not an example of why we should dismiss breakout age at major programs

After hitting 6k last night I started reflecting on how I ended up in this fantasy football space.
I thought you might be interested in a bit of an unusual story.
It all started back in 2015. I was talking to one of my best friends about how my redraft team had performed in week 1. He mentioned that he had never been in a league and would love to give it a try.
I had always wanted to start a dynasty league but had no idea how. 💡
I promptly called everyone that I knew that played fantasy football to see if they'd be interested in trying out a dynasty league.
We ended up finding 9 people and one friend said he didnt have the time, but that he would "draft" the team and we could find someone to takeover
So here is a thread on testing the new #bulletproofprospect process for wide receivers.
I took the exact same procedure and applied it as though it was 2011 and then tested it on the classes from 2012-2017 to see how it worked.
Lets dive in.
First off, here were the players it identified as bulletproof+ from 2003-2011. Please remember I only use the bulletproof process on players drafted rounds 1-3.
By far the biggest things I look for in fantasy football is consistent excellence. Not so much from a raw production stand point, but from an underlying standpoint.
The player that I think is being massively overlooked right now is Curtis Samuel.
Lets dive in.
Samuel absolutely looks the part of a quality fantasy producer from a physical perspective.
He is thicc at 5'11 and 196 pounds for a robust 27.3 BMI.
And he has speed for dayz with his 100th percentile 4.31 - 40 yard dash
He was productive in college... (even at Ohio state, which I've heard is nearly impossible to do and that it should never be held against anyone that wasnt productive)
PS. Pretty much EVERY good WR in the NFL was productive in college. The rest are pretenders.. 😋
Going through the QB's for my June rankings on Patreon and it seems like month after month after month I am substantially higher on Matthew Stafford than consensus.
Lets talk about that.
(short thread)
Here are Stafford's fantasy football finishes by year since he entered the NFL.
2018 really stands out in a bad way. Please keep in mind he played most of 2018 with a broken bone in his back.
