Eli Rogers has improved his NFL stock more than any other former Louisville Cardinal this offseason.
All-pro wide receiver Antonio Brown took Rogers under his wing over the offseason and it has paid off big time for the former Cardinal wide receiver. The word on the street has been that Rogers is excelling primarily in the slot. On an offense loaded with talent, Rogers finds himself in a great position.

He went from being cut to becoming a starter for Pittsburgh in a matter of one season. That is pretty impressive for any professional sport.
Rogers impact in fantasy football will be interesting because of his ability to create space in coverage. Fellow receivers Antonio Brown and Markus Wheaton will have priority over Rogers in terms of targets. However, if he shows quarterback Ben Roethlisberger that he can be trusted, look for Rogers to become of one the most consistent slot receivers in the AFC North.
Look to take a chance on Eli Rogers at the end of your draft. Chances are, most of the people you are playing will not know who he is. If you choose to not draft him, be sure to keep an eye on him in the waiver wire throughout the season.
