Devin Funchess is still on the positional merry-go-round for his fantasy football future. Which suits him best from a metric perspective? Here are his comparable prospects at both wide receiver and tight end:
Wide Receiver
Below Funchess on the chart is a rather unappealing group of flameouts or ‘what might have beens’, however Plaxico Burress and Mike Evans offer promise. One reason for pause in comparing Funchess to Evans, despite the similarities in the major category scores, is their vast difference in raw production. Evans doubled up Funchess’ yards-per-game in college and Funchess’ touchdown production is 50% lower. Add to that a sizeable difference in career yards-per-catch and the tweener status of Funchess is clarified instead of assuming a pure wide receiver appeal at the NFL level.
