Notre Dame football: Top-3 NFL Fantasy Football options in 2021
No. 2: Will Fuller, WR, Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are one of the more exciting young teams in the AFC, and many expect them to contend for a playoff spot this season. In order to do so, they are going to need to see growth from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who struggled as a rookie last season but has looked good in camp so far.
For Tua to take the next step forward, he is going to need to get big plays from his wide receiver group, including former Notre Dame football star Will Fuller. In Fuller, Tua has a deep threat to go along with players like Jaylen Waddle, their first-round pick in 2021, and Davante Parker, who has emerged as a legitimate star in the NFL in recent years.
The problem is, as has been the case in his NFL career, Fuller is once again dealing with an injury, and it will be interesting to see what role he plays once the games matter. If healthy, he is a legitimate WR2 option in fantasy football, but do not make him a cornerstone player at the position group until he proves he is 100 percent.
