2022 Fantasy Outlook
The Dolphins added Ezukanma to an already-stacked receiving corps in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, which is a likely indication that the team has immediate designs for how he can factor in on offense. That will likely take the form of Ezukanma acting as a role player in his rookie season, though. Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Cedrick Wilson are all clearly ahead of the Texas Tech standout, leaving Ezukanma in competition for a depth role.
