Benjamin St-Juste Fantasy

Washington Commanders cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, who was selected in the third round last year, has worked mostly in the slot in the nickel package. He stands at 6-foot-3, but he plays with good footwork, which allows him to handle slot duties against smaller, quicker wide receivers. St-Juste looked good this offseason going against impressive rookie receiver Jahan Dotson, and St-Juste uses his length well. Before he dealt with injuries, specifically concussions, he was playing a lot in his rookie season. The 24-year-old finished with 26 tackles (20 solo) and three passes defensed in nine games (three starts) in 2021, but if he can stay healthy this year, Washington's secondary will be in much better shape.

The Washington Football Team selected Minnesota cornerback Benjamin St-Juste with the No. 74 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. St-Juste is long and athletic at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and glides around the secondary with his length. Because of his size, he won't be the fastest defensive back on the field, but he makes up for his lack of speed with his length. He should pair nicely with William Jackson in Washington's secondary. The Canadian native needs more time to develop, but he has an incredibly high ceiling in the long term. Don't expect St-Juste to start immediately in his rookie season.
