Billy Ray Stutzmann

Stuzmann is coming off a 2011 season in which he caught 78 passes for 910 yards and four touchdowns, but his value is mostly pointed downward heading into 2012. The Warriors are getting rid of their time-tested pass-happy offense in favor of Norm Chow’s pro-style, ball-control approach. Stutzmann will still be worth a pick in MWC-only leagues and is worth watching in other formats, but don’t look for Greg Salas/Kealoha Pilares numbers here.

With Royce Pollard presumably taking the lead role on the outside for Hawaii (thus more or less replacing Greg Salas), Stutzmann has a good chance to emerge as the team’s top inside receiver, the role held by Kealoha Pilares in 2010. Stutzmann only had 130 yards and a touchdown last year, but he reportedly committed to Hawaii over schools like Michigan State, Washington and Oregon State, so he might be more talented than the typical Hawaii receiver prospect. He’s a high-risk, high-upside player no matter how you cut it.
