Round 13: WR Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay had an interesting rookie campaign in 2017, as he scored twice in Week 1, but then failed to find the end zone again until Week 16. A hamstring injury also played a factor, as the injury limited Golladay to just 11 games played.

We bet on a healthy and improved sophomore season for “Babytron,” and select the wideout with our last non-position-player pick.

As the Lions’ third wideout, it will likely take an injury for Golladay to reach WR2 territory this season, but we’re more than willing to take a chance on the second-year receiver with this 13th-round flier. Hopefully Golladay repeats his Week 1 performance in 2018 — otherwise, he could find himself back on the waiver wire before Detroit heads to San Francisco in Week 2.
