Jalon Calhoun

Wide ReceiverWR
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jalen Calhoun will seek to be the Blue Devils leading receiver again in 2023. He’s coming off a career year, posting personal bests cross the board with 62 catches, 93 targets, 873 yards and four touchdowns. Further encouragement can be found in the fact Calhoun has increased his yards per catch in each of his last three years, showing more downfield ability despite his smaller 5-foot-10 frame, and budding yards after the catch. Entering his fifth-year season, Calhoun profiles as a known commodity. The downside is a lack of a weekly ceiling. Calhoun has only 13 touchdowns in his career, and only five 100-yard games. Duke’s offense should remain efficient in 2023 with high levels of returning pieces, which should enable Calhoun to keep on rolling. Their depth is their strength however and a fantasy weakness. As such, Calhoun makes for a nice target for wide receiver depth on draft night, but is not someone to build around. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Calhoun was the second leading receiver for the Blue Devils in 2021 behind Jake Bobo. With Bobo transferring to UCLA Calhoun projects to be the top target for the new starting quarterback Riley Leonard. Calhoun has shown he can stretch the field and open things up for his quarterbacks as he led the team in touchdowns in 2021 with 3 including a long reception of 80-yards.
Jalon Calhoun unfortunately profiles more importantly to his own team than he does to fantasy managers. He’s a good bet to lead the Blue Devils in receiving in 2021, but that’s not something that will excite much as Duke throwing for 2,000 yards and/or 20 TDs may be a reach. Calhoun has averaged 9.1 and 8.9 ypc, so there’s a clear lack of big play upside, scoring six times total. He caught at least four balls in each of the Blue Devils’ final six games, but went for 50 yards only once in that stretch. That’s what you’re getting in drafting Calhoun. There’s a low floor, almost no ceiling, and the appeal is limited to ACC heavy circles, likely with PPR formats. Perhaps he sees a huge uptick in opportunity as new quarterback Gunnar Holmberg’s safety net, but a wait and see approach seems prudent.
