Kendrick Law Fantasy Overview

The Detroit Lions selected Kentucky WR Kendrick Law in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. A top recruit out of high school, Law opened his college career at Alabama. He managed only 33 catches over three seasons there, even as the Crimson Tide went through a relatively underwhelming stretch at WR. A transfer to Kentucky this past year brought career highs across the board: 53 catches, 540 yards, and 3 TDs. The catches and yards led the team, although his 21.1% dominator rating ranked just 31st among 49 WRs at the Combine. Law was a short-range maven for the Wildcats, registering a 3.4-yard average target depth. 36 of his 53 catches (68%) came behind the line of scrimmage. Law was excellent with the ball in his hands, though, forcing 14 missed tackles and averaging 9.5 yards after catch per reception. That latter mark ranked fourth among 270 FBS WRs with 50+ targets last year. Law helped his case at the Combine, earning a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score at 5’11 and 203 pounds. His game needs a lot of refinement, but the athleticism and open-field ability gives Law a chance to develop into a starting slot receiver in the NFL.
