NFL Analysis: As yet another example of the embarrassment of riches that exists in the Alabama footall program, the ultra-talented O.J. Howard was just the team's third-leading receiver -- and arguably its fifth-best offensive option -- in 2016. In an era where so many teams are seeking a "Move" tight end, Nick Saban had one stashed away in Tuscaloosa. Howard did show up big in the Tide's biggest games, tallying nine catches for 314 yards and three touchdowns in Alabama's last two national championship appearances (accounting for 18.2 percent of his career receiving yards). Say it with me ... rookie tight ends rarely make an impact in fantasy. However, that changed slightly last season with Hunter Henry and even Austin Hooper making splash plays. Howard looks like he could be the next in that line and should draw interest in all formats.
DRAFT ANALYSIS: "With Cameron Brate, now they've got two tight ends that can both block in-line and go down the field. ... Old-school combination tight end. He reminds me of Greg Olsen. He was underutilized as a pass-catcher and his best catches are ahead of him." -- Mike Mayock
