Erik Ezuknma (22.6) Fantasy Impact Collins has been dealing with a lingering foot injury over the past couple of weeks, and the. Kenny Golladay (28.8) Marvin Jones received 120 targets last year (23rd), but how static will that remain since he was not brought in by this regime? His season was limited to just 196 routes run, but Toney was targeted on 27.0% of those routes, a mark only bested by Antonio Brown, Cooper Kupp, Davante Adams, and A.J. Curtis Samuel (26.1) Allen Lazard (26.7) Adam Thielen (32.0) Access Nico Collins's Dynasty ADP and Lifetime Value Rating on Dynasty Deluxe. After receiving over 25% of the Buffalo targets in each of his first two seasons with the Bills, Diggs is a strong bet to once again be peppered with opportunity in 2022 attached to Josh Allen. After a breakout in 2020, Robby Anderson was unable to survive the offensive climate in Carolina last season. For what it is worth, I am in the former camp as his skill-set is quarterback friendly. Michael Gallup (26.4) DOB 3/19/1999. I broke down all five of these prospects pre-draft here while I provided initial outlooks on their team landing spots here. Will Fuller (28.4) averaged a career-low 10.8 yards per catch, but he remained one of the best touchdown-or-bust fantasy options, scoring 10 times over 13 games before an ankle injury cut his season short. Only four players have caught more receiving touchdowns than DK Metcalfs 29 since he entered the league and only three caught more than his 12 scores in 2021, but Metcalf saw a significant dip in other areas last season, dropping from 5.2 receptions per game down to 4.4 while his 81.4 yards per game in 2020 sagged down to 56.9 yards per game last season. was tasked as a lid lifter only in his extended run during his second season. Things are wide open in Indianapolis behind Michael Pittman for Alec Pierce to contribute. Your scope of duties: Creating a vision, strategy and operational goals for the subordinate business unit responsible for the R&D area 32.6% of his PPR points came via touchdown production alone, the highest rate in his career and just the second time he has been over 20%. In a startup, I am more than likely going to bypass these options for players from the next grouping, but there is still plenty of room here for this group to significantly impact fantasy titles for the next three to four years. Lamb went from averaging 17.6 points per game prior, down to 10.6 per game to close the season after that stretch. Thomas received a gaudy 32.1% of the team targets with seven or more targets in every game but one (which also happened to be the infamous Kendall Hinton game). As we begin to lay the foundation for the 2022 offseason, here we are going to lay out Dynasty positional tiers with a synopsis of those tiers. Peoples-Jones has now averaged a robust 18.8 yards per catch on an average depth of target of 16.7 yards downfield. 2021 was no shortage of a nightmare for the Jacksonville offense as a whole while Shenault still accrued 100 targets, but he will now be on his third coaching staff in three years while the team is a strong bet to keep adding playmakers. The 23-year-old wide receiver finishes up the 2022 campaign with 37 catches for 481 yards and two touchdowns on 66 targets across 10 games. Then, he went on an all-time heater, catching 51 passes for 560 yards and five touchdowns (with a rushing score) over his final six games, posting five top-10 scoring weeks over that span. Woods will turn 30 years old this April, coming off suffering an ACL injury in November after appearing in nine games. Marquez Stevenson (24.5) Jones averaged 11.4 yards per catch and 6.9 yards per target (his lowest rates since his rookie season), but nobody survived the Jacksonville offense last season. Waddle collected 28 more targets than the next closest Dolphin (Gesicki) while he was targeted on a team-high 23.8% of his routes as a rookie. Despite ranking ninth in target share (24.8%), Pittman was 18th in targets per game (7.6), having six or fewer targets in eight games. has caught a lot of flack this offseason in fantasy circles due to the close of his second season in which he caught 32 passes for 376 yards and zero touchdowns over the final seven games in the regular season. Some real quick methodology here. 2023 R1 draft pick, 2023 R1 draft pick . Staying in Los Angeles, Williams is a true boom-or-bust WR2 with plenty of spike-week upside. Van Jefferson increased his output and production up to a 50-802-6 line in his second season as the Rams were pressed to get him on the field more than initially planned with the release of DeSean Jackson and injury to Robert Woods. After opening the 2020 season with 90 or more yards in seven of his first eight games, Metcalf has hit that arbitrary mark in just four of 25 games since. Now with Brown leaving 146 targets (24.7%) on the table with the depth here severely lacking for the Ravens, Bateman has a runway to vault up to a fantasy WR2. Jalen Reagor (23.7) Kadarius Toney had the most Kadarius Toney rookie season we could have gotten based on his collegiate profile. Skyy Moore (22.0) Palmer still will hold value playing as the WR3 attached to Justin Herbert even with Williams returning, but the immediate upside is tied in his role extending, leaving him as a bench option. more than doubled his rookie season production in 2021, catching 88-of-129 targets for 1,082 yards and six touchdowns. A runway to more involvement exists, but the short term quarterback questions and offensive viability in Houston, in general, are sandbags. Lifetime Super Bowl record: 25-10 (71%) Samuel produced a 77-1,405-6 line through the air to go along with 365 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground as he went from being forced to operating as the alpha receiver in the passing game early in the year with George Kittle out of the lineup and Brandon Aiyuk in the doghouse, to chipping in out of the backfield as the season pressed on due to the exposed lack of talented depth of the San Francisco backfield last season. Kenny Golladays first season with the Giants was an outright disaster, catching 37-of-76 targets for 521 yards and zero touchdowns. Danny Gray (23.5) Joining the Rams, Robinson landed in a spot that will prevent him from being a target hog, but will provide him fantasy friendly opportunities for the first time in his career. K.J. Samuel produced a 77-1,405-6 line through the air to go along with 365 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground as he went from being forced to operating as the alpha receiver in the passing game early in the year with George Kittle out of the lineup and Brandon Aiyuk in the doghouse, to chipping in out of the backfield as the season pressed on due to the exposed lack of talented depth of the San Francisco backfield last season. CeeDee Lamb (23.4) Many dynasty managers get impatient with rookie prospects who don't hit right away. Fuller was only able to land a one-year deal last offseason coming off his best NFL season, so we are likely looking at a prove-it situation in free agency this season. Pittman had 60 more than any other Colts player in 2021. His attachment to Patrick Mahomes and this offense will afford him much more space in the middle of the field, giving him more than enough enticement once again as an upside fantasy option on the WR3/WR4 line. Hopkins was able to stay afloat for fantasy weekly since he still scored eight times in 10 games. Dynasty players have to focus on the diamonds in the rough. averaged 9.1 yards per catch and 5.4 yards per target when he last played. Williams started off the season looking as if he would be the crown jewel of fantasy drafts before slowly reverting to his boom-or-bust nature as the season progressed, but he did finally flash that ceiling many believed existed. He has done so with a plethora of quarterbacks over his career now, including showing a connection with rookie Davis Mills last year. Michael Thomas (29.5) After being a near the line of scrimmage receiver in college, Moore managed a laughable depth of target of just 1.2 yards as a rookie. Laquon Treadwell (27.2) Over the three seasons with Mahomes as the starter, the third-leading receiver has been Sammy Watkins (673 yards), and Mecole Hardman the past two seasons with 693 and 560 yards. D.J. Davante Adams (29.7) A solid contributor, Boyds fantasy ceiling is now tied to either Chase or Higgins missing time. Lockett was the leagues best deep-ball specialist last season, scoring a league-high 133.3 fantasy points on throws 15 yards or further downfield. Brown in 2021. Only James Washington was added in free agency. With Jackson under center, Brown caught 67.3% of his targets for 12.7 yards per catch, 8.5 yards per target, and averaged 2.03 yards per route run compared to catching 52.1% of his targets for 6.8 yards per catch, 3.6 yards per target and 0.80 yards per route. Elijah Moore (22.4) The 2021 season was an outright disaster for. Johnson has amassed a gaudy 313 targets over the past two seasons. Improvement from Zach Wilson can lift the tide for Davis, who has been the WR32 and WR36 the past two seasons on a per-game basis, but the emergence of Elijah Moore is another potential roadblock in getting to Davis as a consistent fantasy play. flashed that he can definitely still play with the Rams, but a torn ACL in the Super Bowl will impact his free agency and potentially push back his availability in 2022. Jalen Nailor (23.5) Tyreek Hill was also traded this offseason, heading to the Dolphins. The next week, he then caught 10-of-13 targets for 189 yards and it appeared we were about to experience something Odell Beckham-esque for the remainder of the season. Gage also can get an early season bump with the timing of Chris Godwins injury. has consistently found a path to strong final-season numbers, posting another 1,175 yards and eight touchdowns on 73 catches. Aiyuk still only averaged 6.2 targets per game over that solid close to the season with four or fewer receptions in seven of those 11 games while Trey Lance offers a wide range of outcomes in terms of impact on the offense. Christian Kirk (25.8) In the seven games that Waller missed or exited early, Renfrow averaged 7.1 catches for 79.9 yards per game as opposed to 5.5 catches for 48.8 yards per game otherwise. I am more on the pro-side of the coin for Gabriel Davis, who is going to be a hot button this offseason. JuJu Smith-Schuster (25.8) There also could be tier movement for some players here based on how free agency and the draft plays out, so check back in as news develops this offseason. Romeo Doubs (22.4) We do not officially know who the quarterback will be, but with Pete Carmichael staying as offensive coordinator, Thomas still has a play-caller that understands where he excels. . With Russell Wilson now exiting Seattle, Metcalf has another immediate speed bump that can prevent him putting together locked-in WR1 production in 2022. this year as he was in Kyle Shanahans doghouse for the opening several weeks of the season. Brown will once again be tasked relying on efficiency to carry water for him, joining an Eagles team that found their offensive stride in 2021 when they dialed back their offense through the air. After receiving over 25% of the Buffalo targets in each of his first two seasons with the Bills, Diggs is a strong bet to once again be peppered with opportunity in 2022 attached to Josh Allen. Mooney has limitations in becoming a full-fledged alpha (he was dead last in contested catch rate among qualifying receivers in 2021), but theres an easy path to seeing Mooney smoke everyone in this tier in the short-term target volume. Marquez Valdes-Scantling (27.9) Kadarius Toney (23.6) Smith (64-916-5) proved he can be lead receiver with a diverse route tree right away as he demonstrated in college. first season with the Giants was an outright disaster, catching 37-of-76 targets for 521 yards and zero touchdowns. Johnson has amassed a gaudy 313 targets over the past two seasons. Davis has only played two-thirds of the offensive snaps in 14 career games to open his career but has a 50-816-11 line in those games on 87 targets while averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game. Before Tyreek Hill was the Cheetah, he was a fifth-round pick in the NFL Draft and . Aiyuk played just 66% of the team snaps through six games, catching nine passes total over that span. Amari Cooper (28.2) Brown (25.2) Just 60.6% of Robinsons limited targets were deemed catchable (84th among wideouts) while posting 35 yards or fewer in 9-of-12 games. Kupp will still be a heavy favorite to lead a receiving group that has a number of question marks outside of him with the injury to Robert Woods and shaky depth. Nico Collins (foot) will be placed on the team's injured reserve, ending his season. Cooper Kupp will be a talking point this offseason for anticipated regression coming off scoring the second-most points per game (25.9) for a wide receiver in league history, but even with recoil, he is in a strong position to sustain being a top-end fantasy option. The move reunites Brown with his college quarterback from 2018, when Brown caught 75 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns with Kyler Murray at Oklahoma. K.J. Second-Year Breakout Candidates: Nico Collins (2022 Fantasy Football) Nico Collins commanded end-zone targets and high air-yard throws in 2021 but ultimately never put together a true. Chark when the team forced him to play outside, but then was clearly outplayed by Laquon Treadwell to close the season when he went back inside. was averaging 3.8 catches for 54.7 yards per game. Velus Jones (25.3) still averaged 14.0 yards per catch, 9.0 yards per target, and was 25th in yards per route run (1.84), so he can still play. After jumping to WR22 in points per game in 2020, Diontae Johnson reached WR9 in that department in his third season, catching 107 passes for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns. Osborn chipped in a productive season in his second year in the league, catching 50 passes for 655 yards and seven touchdowns. 29 since he entered the league and only three caught more than his 12 scores in 2021, but Metcalf saw a significant dip in other areas last season, dropping from 5.2 receptions per game down to 4.4 while his 81.4 yards per game in 2020 sagged down to 56.9 yards per game last season. Christian Kirk is building a solid career, but for fantasy, he has finished as the WR53, WR32, WR55, and WR34 in points per game. TreQuan Smith (26.7) also gave us some spark in 2021, averaging 15.7 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target with the Cardinals while giving us nine top-40 scoring weeks.
