Elic Ayomanor enters the NFL Draft as a big-bodied receiver with solid production and a strong blend of speed and physicality. Despite past injury concerns and some inconsistency, his upside makes him a compelling developmental prospect for teams seeking size and toughness at the position.

Elic Ayomanor Fantasy Football Outlook

Over the past two seasons, Ayomanor was a productive wide receiver in the Cardinals starting lineup. He missed his freshman season due to a torn ACL, followed by 62 catches for 1,013 yards and six touchdowns while gaining 16.3 yards per catch. Regression in Stanford’s offense and a move to the ACC led to shorter catches (13.2 yards) with a similar opportunity (63/831/6). Ayomanor gained over 100 yards in three matchups (7/102, 4/108/1, and 10/109).

Ayomanor brings an interesting combination of speed (4.44 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine) and size (6’2” and 205 lbs.) to the NFL. He has a feel for creating space out of his breaks despite lacking quickness, but he does give some tells on certain plays, allowing a defender to read his next move. Ayomanor wins in tight coverage and has the tools to become a more physical wide receiver. 

His hands are in question coming into the NFL. Ayomanor works hard, which invites more development in his game. He has the tools to play in the slot or on the outside. 

I don’t expect Ayomanor to carve out a playable fantasy role this year, but his foundation skill set may piece a winning piece to a developing offense down the road. He does have some downside risk due to his previous knee issue, suggesting a third or fourth-round pick in this year’s draft.

SHAWN CHILDS

With 20+ years of experience in the high-stakes fantasy market, I aim to research and compete at the highest level in baseball and football each season. I've contributed as a writer/analyst for Sports Draft Daily, ScoutPro, Scout Fantasy, Fulltime Fantasy, FFToolbox, and Sports Illustrated Fantasy. I'm honored to be in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship Hall of Fame. My drafting philosophy is risk-averse yet open to betting on potential game-changers. I approach player selection with a neutral perspective, acknowledging that fantasy sports are inherently unpredictable due to injuries, performance dips, and managerial decisions. My work focuses on these main areas: - Season-long fantasy baseball and football - BestBall Baseball and Football Events - Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS): DraftKings, FanDuel, and Underdog - Long Shot Player Prop Parlays for NFL I participate in various leagues and contests, including NFBC, NFFC, RTSports, FFPC, DraftKings, Underdog Fantasy, FanDuel, and FFWC, with the goal of leveraging my extensive experience and research for success in each game format. A fantasy follower can expect in-depth profiles of NFL and MLB players, along with season-long and weekly projections for each fantasy football season. In addition, I have many strategy articles to help develop fantasy players' learning curves.
