2.11 – Ja’Marcus Bradley (WR – CLE)

Ja’Marcus Bradley is a talented wide receiver with good ball skills. Also a threat after the catch (missed tackle forced on 38 percent of receptions ranked top three among all draft eligible receivers), there may be a spot for Bradley as the Cleveland Browns fifth or sixth receiver. There should be a competition for the number three receiver spot in Cleveland, but Rashard Higgins is expected to win the job, at least to open the season.

That means there will be two to three roster spots for Donovan Peoples-Jones, Taywan Taylor, J’Mon Moore, and Bradley to fight for. His ability to contribute on special teams only enhances the possibility of him making the final roster. Bradley flashes as a red zone weapon on tape, but never truly exploded in the manner his skill set promises.

Still, he remained productive (20 touchdowns over his last two seasons), and had enough good tape to potentially hear his name called in the later rounds. The main knock on Bradley has been his motor and effort level, but one has to believe that he will be able to get his juices flowing simply by sharing the same field as star wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry. He is a name that dynasty owners will want to monitor, and one to stash in the deepest of formats.
