Luke Farrell Dynasty Value

Farrell played four seasons at Ohio State and caught 34 passes for 380 yards and 4 touchdowns in 21 games, a stat line that reflects his role in an offense overflowing with receivers. He logged 2 catches for 19 yards in 2 games as a freshman, then had his busiest year in 2018 with 20 receptions for 205 yards in 9 games. Injuries limited him to 6 games and 7 catches for 119 yards in 2019, and his senior season brought just 5 catches for 37 yards in 4 games. Averaging 1.6 catches and 18.1 yards per game across a Buckeye career tells you he was blocking next to elite skill talent, not running routes. At 251 pounds with a 4.82 forty and a 36.5-inch vertical, the athletic profile is adequate but the vertical stands out as a bright spot. The 11.2 career yards per reception says he was a short-to-intermediate safety valve on the occasions he was targeted. Ohio State develops tight ends as blockers in their system, and Farrell fit that mold. R5.145 for a blocking tight end from a premier program with almost no receiving profile to project from.
