With the 76th pick in the NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn out of Vanderbilt. Find Vaughn's 2020 Fantasy outlook below:
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 214
Age: 23.0
Dynasty Ranking: 2.08 (RB7)
Redraft Ranking: RB44
Rushing: 133 carries for 489 yards and 5 touchdowns
Receiving: 16 catches for 131 yards and 1 touchdowns
After an absurdly efficient junior season in which he piled up 1,244 rushing yards at a 7.9 yards per carry clip, Vaughn's play fell off a bit in 2019. Combine that with testing that was average at best, and Vaughn quickly slipped down the long list of capable running backs in this draft.
He couldn't have fallen into a better situation though, in terms of finding Fantasy relevancy. Vaughn was unlikely to be drafted anywhere that he would have an opportunity to play significant reps as a rookie, but he actually could see the field if Ronald Jones falters.
Vaughn hasn't shown much ability as a receiver, but he could capitalize on open running lanes as part of a loaded Tampa Bay offense. It's not out of the question for Vaughn to earn a relevant role for the Bucs within the next two seasons, which puts him firmly on the radar for dynasty purposes. Barring a spectacular summer showing, Vaughn is unlikely to register as anything more than a handcuff for redraft leagues.
So which players are poised for breakouts, which sleepers do you need to jump on, and which busts should you avoid at all costs in your Fantasy football league? Join SportsLine now to get early 2020 Fantasy football rankings, plus see which WR is going to come out of nowhere to crack the top 10, all from the model that out-performed experts big time last season.
