Despite maturity and character issues that forced him to leave the University of Tennessee for FCS school Tennessee Tech, Da’Rick Rogers is a hyper-talented athlete, who I had a very high second-round grade on; and should’ve been drafted before fellow former-Volunteer, Justin Hunter.  When the dust settled from April’s draft, Rogers was left undrafted and immediately scooped up by the Buffalo Bills.  Let’s take a look at where Rogers will fit into the Bills’ new offensive system, and what his fantasy impact will be.

Being an undrafted free agent, Rogers is currently buried on the depth chart, but has been very impressive so far this offseason in rookie mini camps and OTA’s.  It’s highly likely that by the time the season rolls around, fellow rookie receiver Robert Woods will have surpassed T.J. Graham as the Bills’ No. 2 receiver and Rogers will work his way up to No. 3 behind Steve Johnson and Woods.  Rogers has a great combination of size, strength and speed and will see a decent amount of Targets as the No. 3 receiver. 

That said, Rogers is still going to fall behind Johnson, Woods and tight end Scott Chandler in terms of targets, and will have to make the most of his opportunities.  In redraft leagues, Rogers isn’t even worth a look in 2013, as he likely won’t crack the top 50 in fantasy receivers for the year.  Rogers is, however, worth a look in dynasty leagues in the later rounds.  Grab him towards the end of your startup or rookie draft and stash him on the taxi squad for a year or two, then reap the benefits of his talent down the road when he, the Bills’ offense and fellow rookie EJ Manuel are better developed and producing at a high level continuously. 

2013 Stat Projections: 45 receptions, 600 yards and four touchdowns.
