If you like speed, you'll love Mario Alford. While Kevin White stole headlines at West Virginia, Alford did his job well, picking up 92 receptions for 1,497 yards (a 16.3 average) and 13 touchdowns in just 25 games. He also averaged 26.3 yards per kickoff return and took two of 37 kicks to the house. The catch with Alford is his size -- he's 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds. He also had a number of drops in college and has to become a better route runner. If you're looking for a dandy sleeper in a league that counts special-teams yardage, Alford is your guy. If you're looking for a long-term sleeper with a late pick in dynasty league play, Alford is your guy. If you're in a standard league and only care about 2015, Alford's not your guy -- unless he puts that speed to good use in training camp.
Outlook: Mario Alford
