Dallin Holker

Holker's NFL career will be defined by his receiving utility. Last season, he lined up in the slot or out wide on 75.4% of his snaps. He never registered higher than a 57.5 PFF run-blocking grade in any season. He can uncover quickly on underneath routes with decent hips and nice short area agility (94th percentile three-cone drill). Holker is a build-up speed guy, though. He lumbers through his routes for the most part without the raw speed to run away from defenders on crossing routes. If he's asked to stretch the seam, expect a defender to be in his back pocket at the catch point. Holker does a strong set of hands with plenty of catches made in traffic and only a 5.9% drop rate last season. He transitions from receiver to runner fairly well, with good vision to create some after-the-catch in space. He lacks the top-end athleticism, though, to create explosives or generate game-breaking YAC. Dynasty Outlook: Holker signed with the New Orleans Saints as a UDFA. He is stuck behind Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau, and Tommy Hudson. It's a long shot that he makes the roster much less becomes fantasy viable. I'm avoiding him in Dynasty.

Dallin Holker has signed a deal to join the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent.

Fantasy Impact

Holker, a rookie tight end from Colorado State, surprisingly went undrafted in last week's NFL draft. He is now signing a deal to join the New Orleans Saints, where he will be able to compete for a roster spot. The Saints already have three strong tight ends, however, so his path to relevance seems murky at best at this point.
