-- Terrell, Fantasy breakout candidate: Chris Olave, WR, Temper expectations for all of the Saints' pass-catchers since Thomas, Alvin Kamara, Olave and Jarvis Landry will have to share the pie. The Rams had turnover at two positions on the offensive line this offseason, including left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who retired after the Rams' Super Bowl LVI victory. His arrival in L.A. both strengthens the Rams' passing game and gives him a fresh start coming off a disappointing 2021, but it also lands him in a supporting role. -- McManus. 1 corner, coach Bill Belichick referred to Davon Godchaux as "one of the best defensive linemen in the league," while Matthew Judon and Josh Uche have been disruptive pass-rushers. All other NFL-related trademarks are trademarks of the National Football League. His return, along with guard Elgton Jenkins coming back from a torn left ACL, could solidify the offensive line. For all the Odell Beckham Jr. comps, bear in mind that Beckham was fantasy football's WR32 with a 33rd-ranked 17.1% target share during his Rams tenure, a touchdown-dependent player for our purposes. The third-year quarterback enters a pivotal season -- after which Miami will have to decide whether to pick up his fifth-year option -- but he does so with three-time All-Pro Hill, the NFL's record-holder for rookie receptions in Waddle, a revamped backfield and an offensive-minded coach in Mike McDaniel. Heads began turning when All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams sang Darrisaw's praises following two days of joint practices between the Vikings and 49ers. He has earned the trust of quarterback Kirk Cousins, whose advocacy last season helped spur Osborn to seven touchdown receptions. He has to prove on the field that he can be a consistent high-end starter. Wilson's arrival changed everything, and if he plays near a Pro Bowl level, a lot of folks are going to say the five picks and three players the Broncos gave up to trade for Wilson aren't going to seem like that big a price tag. He's a physical receiver who is willing to work the dirty areas of the field, and he's more explosive than you think after the catch. Lazard established career highs last season with 40 catches for 513 yards and three touchdowns in a secondary role. 1. Every season since his blockbuster rookie campaign in 2018 . But this is really about new coach Dennis Allen's defense. Flacco went on to win a Super Bowl and parlayed that championship into becoming the NFL's highest-paid player. Stafford did not throw every day in practice during camp as the Rams worked to build up his arm. Howard and Gronkowski combined for 110 targets, 937 yards and seven touchdowns last season. -- Davenport, Contract-year player: Jeffery Simmons, DT, The Titans picked up Simmons' fifth-year option, but a player of his caliber should not be playing on a $10.7 million salary in 2023, considering that lesser interior defensive linemen are making upward of $20 million per year. -- Bowen, Osborn stood out throughout training camp, even while sharing the field with superstar Justin Jefferson. Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Cam Akers wasnt particularly effective during the Rams Super Bowl run last season, but head coach Sean McVays willingness to make Akers the lead back so soon after his return from an Achilles tear bodes well for his 2022 usage. Gordon provides clarity at a position that has been rife with uncertainty. -- Newton, Rhule has gone 5-11 and 5-12 his first two seasons. It's the highest bar to clear for a team with title expectations. Unlike Hurts, who had a rookie head coach and unproven supporting cast, Lance will have one of the best play-callers in the league, along with a very talented cast around him. That's a lofty expectation for a team that failed to advance to the playoffs last season and has appeared in the postseason only twice since 2013. My bet is that he'll show up. Significant improvement in that area doesn't fall solely to Karlaftis, one of the team's two first-round picks this year, but he needs to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. It's a position group the Falcons can feel really good about. Then when Hopkins gets back, the Cardinals will have one of the best receiving duos in the NFL. 1 seed. With tight end-friendly Ryan under center, Alie-Cox could post career numbers and emerge as the sneakiest breakout of the season. JAX | KC | LV | LAC | LAR | MIA | MIN Davenport had nine sacks last year despite playing in only 11 games, but he has never played a full season. Most important discovery at camp: WR Curtis Samuel's health. Yes, he's 37 years old, but his 14 years in the league show he's durable (he has missed just one game in his 12 years as a starter) and an experienced decision-maker who can get the ball to his receivers quickly (another trait already on display at minicamp). Cam Akers (RB LAR) He will need to beat out Cedrick Wilson Jr., but the opportunity is there for the Texas Tech product. Most important discovery at camp: RB Dameon Pierce is going to be a force. -- Doug Kezirian. Eric Moody: Chris Olave But Washington owns the NFL's worst combined Total QBR over the past four seasons with 10 different starting quarterbacks. Run game coordinator/assistant head coach Harold Goodwin likened practicing against them to "trying to stop a motor home." The former Ohio State standout will show more refinement and technique, racking up big sack numbers a year after suffering a right knee injury. He's in line for upwards of 90 targets and could easily post a 65-830-6 stat line in his second season. Earlier delivery gives the offense an advantage, leading to increased opportunities for Ryan's receivers, especially when it comes to YAC all of which translates to fantasy points. Eric Karabell: Trevor Lawrence Smith had the edge from the jump thanks to his experience in Shane Waldron's system and hasn't relinquished it. The Colts feature one the best run games with Taylor behind an upper-tier offensive front, and the pass game will be much more efficient with the addition of Ryan. 2 WR over the final five weeks of 2021. -- Bowen, After taking the long route to an NFL starting job -- from undrafted free agent to being signed by the Packers off of the Jaguars' practice squad -- Lazard has a shot at being the Packers' WR1 now that Davante Adams is gone. -- Liz Loza, There's good reason for all the optimism, but ultimately the offensive line is a giant weakness and the division is too tough. Chubb is poised to be a problem for the tackles across from him, especially if free agent signee Randy Gregory has the season the Broncos hope he can. Those players are all great, but the middle to later rounds is when everyone is really searching for a player that can greatly exceed expectations. -- Legwold, Chubb was the Broncos' No. Thibodeaux had a strong start to the summer after being a top-five pick in April, but it would be counterproductive to have him at anything less than 100% given his dependance on that explosive first step. Describe the QB situation in three words: Better than before. Every year, Garoppolo leads or is top-three in passing yards that come after the catch, meaning he makes quick, short throws and the receivers then get to work. Its Trevor Lawrence. -- Tim McManus, Adding to Hurts' comfort level is the presence of Brown, who was acquired from the Titans on the first night of the draft for first- and third-round picks. It is true that a table set with fine offensive cutlery has led to fantasy disappointments before, but Russell Wilson has just too much of the ideal pedigree that provides a chemistry to power this offense. The speedy wideout won the camp battle at slot receiver over Jamison Crowder, and the offense is going into the campaign with an emphasis on improving yards after catch (last in the league in YAC per reception in 2021), which could mean big things for McKenzie. But Toney also passes the eye test, as not many humans have his combination of speed and shiftiness. Warrants out for arrest of draft prospect Carter, Out of dark, Rodgers vows decision coming soon, Bengals not trading Higgins: 'Find your own' WR, Bucs to cut Fournette; RB says it was his request, Seahawks consider QB at No. Expect him to be in the Giants' three-receiver sets and he could see a boost in volume if others miss time. Ja'Marr Chase. 2 target for Josh Allen. Kmet caught 60 of 91 targets last season. -- Teicher, Hardman spent his first three seasons with the Chiefs in Tyreek Hill's considerable shadow, which can at least partly explain his inconsistent production since being drafted in the second round in 2019. It's the anticipated red zone usage, however, that puts the third-year tight end in the mix for a potential breakout season. If you want to dive deeper into fantasy football, be sure to check out our award-winning slate of Fantasy Football Tools as you navigate your season. The Commanders' defense, under pressure after a poor season, will need his playmaking. After almost 200 vacated targets are up with Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasleys departure, Davis 63 targets from last year should be expected to double. 2022 breakout players. Trevor Lawrence will thrive with his college buddy Etienne, a 2021 first-round pick and the Jaguars' new lead back, healthy after a lost season. A healthy Jameis Winston and Michael Thomas will help the team this season. But after an impressive training camp, watch for Palmer to play an increased role and become more of a sought-after target by quarterback Justin Herbert. Declaring Barkley as a best shot breakout seems to stretch the notion, but the Giants are already fueling new ideas for him in the OTAs. Hunt is too important to the Browns' offense. Prospect Rankings Fantasy Football 2022 Breakouts: Jalen Hurts and Dallas Goedert highlight breakout players to target and draft 10 league-winning breakout candidates By Heath Cummings. -- Todd Archer, Contract-year player: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Technically, he isn't in a contract year; but in reality, he is. Cohn: Andrei Iosivas, WR, Princeton " Andrei Iosivas (scouting report) will be a breakout prospect.Iosivas has impressive straight-line speed, and I expect him to run the 40 in the 4.3s or low 4.4s. Field Yates: Gabriel Davis, WR, Buffalo Bills Bold prediction for 2022: The Vikings will finish with the top scoring offense. Young has the physical tools to be an elite edge-rusher. It gets easier this season, and he will be playing behind an improved offensive line and with a solid backfield. The foot injury he suffered last year might hamper Henry's efficiency and durability entering the season, but I still see him as one of the game's most dominant players. In Los Angeles, he'll take over the veteran TE role that Jared Cook filled in 2021. Our featured pundits are here to tackle that very question! -- Bowen. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques, Jones began training camp on the PUP list after offseason Achilles surgery and missed the entire preseason. While there are still injury concerns, you already get a discount baked into his ADP with him going as an RB3. Adebo looks like he has grown by leaps and bounds this preseason, and with Roby likely taking the nickel slot once occupied by C.J. That's especially true when it comes to fantasy, which never sleeps! It's the coverage traits and the physical profile of Surtain that vaults him into the discussion of the league's top cornerbacks. It sounds odd to expect better things from the former Bear, but if were talking about a best shot to break out, you couldnt ask for a better culture of excellence to surround you than the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's got one of the NFL's best groups of skill position players around him, and at 34, he is still in his physical prime. Keith Lipscomb: Garrett Wilson, New York Jets In his final two seasons at Clemson, he was a three-down workhorse, ranking first and 20th in yards after contact per attempt and 14th and fourth in yards per route run (minimum 100 rushing attempts, 20 targets per PFF). A timing and rhythm thrower with the pocket mobility to create space in traffic, Young fits the offensive scheme under first-year coach Brian Daboll. The season will be a success if second-year QB Zach Wilson makes a leap. Now he will have Tyreek Hill, who I believe is the most influential non-QB offensive player, along with Jaylen Waddle. -- Anita Marks. He has established trust with quarterback Jared Goff through their offseason work together, and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has confidence in Chark's attention to detail and playmaking ability. . And he'll be needed with Hopkins out for the first six games. Kmet saw a total of just 12 red zone targets last year, with only six end zone targets. Daniel Dopp: Derek Carr, QB, Las Vegas Raiders -- DJ Bien-Aime. Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are back for another special edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! With Miles Sanders' struggles catching passes, Gainwell could see even more targets as a receiver out of the backfield in 2022. Olave stands out among the six receivers selected in Round 1. Both typically get drafted as top-20 receivers, which to me seems a little risky. Tannehill has already shown a tendency to go to Philips in third-down situations because of his sure-handed pass catching and ability to find open windows. -- Jake Trotter, Hunt, who was a hold-in for two days of training camp, has demanded that the Browns either extend him or trade him. -- Wagoner, Ward battled a muscle strain in the middle of camp, but before that, he looked every bit the part of the No. -- Bowen, The Chargers signed the cornerback to a five-year, $82.5 million contract in free agency, then he underwent ankle surgery on Aug. 23 after feeling discomfort in practice. Love the talent, hate the price. -- Cronin, Fantasy breakout candidate: Justin Fields, QB, Fields has an opportunity to produce lower-end QB1 numbers in a new offensive system that will cater to his dual-threat traits. Bateman was slowed by abdominal and core muscle injuries in his first training camp, missed the first five games of 2021 with a groin injury, then played only six full games with starting QB Lamar Jackson, who dealt with injuries of his own. The season will be a success if the Bucs win the Super Bowl and only if they win the Super Bowl. -- Bowen. Eric Karabell: Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals While the 2022 NFL regular season ended, it's never too early to look ahead to the 2023 campaign. -- Liz Loza, The Colts have one of the easiest schedules in the league after a 9-8 season, and don't forget that Jonathan Taylor led the league with 1,811 rushing yards last season. Fantasy managers who drafted these players last season know very well how . Daniel Dopp: Derek Carr, Las Vegas Raiders Fantasy All-Sleeper Team 2022: Top potential breakouts Best fantasy QB sleeper Justin Fields, Bears Fields and the Bears aren't the most exciting offense to invest in, but Fields' ability to. -- Ben Baby, Anyone who watched the Bengals for five minutes last postseason knew the offensive line needed to improve its pass blocking. "It seemed like everything had slowed down for him and he was getting the ball out on time," he said. Look for Joseph to be one of the top candidates after his Arizona defense registers top-10 numbers this season. -- Bowen. Stephania Bell: Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints -- Teicher, Fantasy breakout candidate: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Smith-Schuster could draw upwards of 120 looks in an offense with more than 250 vacated targets. -- Jordan Raanan. Mike Clay: Joe Burrow Havenstein is a leader for this Rams offense, but he said before training camp that he's letting his agent worry about a new contract so he can focus on football. Even if he misses time, on a per-game basis, he is very likely to outlive his draft cost. The second-round pick out of Penn State brings a playmaking element to Chicago. -- Michael Rothstein, Describe the QB situation in three words: Long-term planning, While the Falcons of course want to win in 2022, the quarterback spot between Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ridder comes down to whether either one of them shows to be the capable long-term starter beyond this season. A lot of them. With suboptimal quarterback play, Chubb, Hunt and Amari Cooper can accomplish only so much. Throughout camp, he looked primed for another step to enter the upper echelon of pass-rushers. -- Bowen, The Browns are banking that the third-year defensive tackle is ready to emerge. Head to SportsLine now . He also managed a top-eight YPA and a top-12 true passer rating in back-to-back seasons. That obstacle is removed, which means it's time for Hardman to prove he's more than just a fast, gadget-type of player. He will also start the season on the PUP list, meaning he is out for at least the first four games of the season. Robinson is shifty and can operate out of the slot. Eric Moody: Amari Cooper He's a vertical threat who can generate yardage after the catch and win contested catches. The 49ers held onto quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but Shanahan will win Coach of the Year because of the development of his replacement, Trey Lance. As the league's best edge rusher, I expect Garrett to post ridiculous numbers again this season for a defense with playmaking talent at all three levels. A wide receiver with vertical ability and red zone chops, Davis had five of his seven touchdowns receptions last season inside the 20-yard line. -- Nick Wagoner, Lost in the shuffle of Aiyuk's slow start to last season was the fact that he was one of the 15 most productive receivers in the league from Week 9 on. -- Rothstein, Fantasy breakout candidate: Drake London, WR, With the 6-foot-4 frame to play as a boundary X receiver or bump inside as a big slot target, London is the pick here, given the volume he should see opposite tight end Kyle Pitts. But he also is in a crowded Cleveland backfield led by Pro Bowl rusher Nick Chubb. With Jimmy Graham gone, the third-year tight end can expect to inherit those red zone opportunities and cement himself as a foundational player in the Bears' offense. There are two big reasons for this. No tight end should make a bigger leap in 2022 than Cole Kmet, whose upside has been capped by a lack of touchdown equity with veteran Jimmy Graham rearing his ugly head the past few seasons. No other player comes with as much fantasy nerve to draft than Saquon Barkley. Don't be surprised if Pitts is pushing for the top five -- and maybe higher -- among tight ends this season. Steven Pintado (The Fantasy Coaches), Jerry Jeudy (WR DEN) Snoop Conner and the remaining vagabonds on the Jaguars depth chart arent likely candidates to steal money touches or routes from Etienne. From our Start/Sit Assistant which provides your optimal lineup based on accurate consensus projections to our Trade Analyzer which allows you to instantly find out if a trade offer benefits you or your opponent weve got you covered this fantasy football season. Fantasy football rookie rankings 2022: Breece Hall headlines top-40 dynasty rookies Rachaad White, running back, Tampa Bay Buccaneers White should be the RB to work in unison with Leonard. That means backup Jacoby Brissett will have to keep the Browns in the playoff picture for a lot longer than initially anticipated -- and with a receiving corps that underwhelmed during the preseason. With the 2022 NFL season now officially in the books, all eyes turn toward the 2023 NFL Draft. Bold prediction for 2022: The Chargers will make the AFC Championship Game. There's no question he is the Texans' best running back. Depending on the size of your league, Freiermuth (TE11 ADP) isn't being counted on to start across the board in fantasy this year. Tannehill has 13 game-winning drives since joining the Titans in 2019, one behind Derek Carr for the most over that span, including the playoffs. The chemistry he has built with Justin Fields has consistently been on display throughout the offseason and only projects to increase as he becomes one of the quarterback's top options in 2022. Joe Kaiser: Justin Fields, Chicago Bears It's an answer we won't know for at least two months, if not the whole season. Kenneth Gainwell ran well in the preseason, while Miles Sanders continues to miss time due to injury. Quick Hits: There is a tier of QB2s that bring a lot of breakout upside. NFL Pick Six; Fantasy Football Today; . For all the focus on Mac Jones and the offense, the defense was swarming at times, with lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. noting how "dominating" the unit was in a joint practice with the Panthers. Bold prediction for 2022: Pickens will lead all rookies in TD catches. Mike Clay: Dawson Knox Take the shot on his upside at that price. But Robinson has been one of the NFL's most talented receivers for nearly a decade, and now we finally get to see him with a top quarterback and offense that has done wonders for other veteran receivers. -- Eric Karabell, The Cowboys' offensive line takes a step back this season with Tyron Smith's injury and the departure of Connor Williams and La'el Collins. -- Bowen, Adebo was thrown into the mix as a rookie last season when the Saints were short on cornerbacks. They have the best net rest schedule advantage in the NFL. As a rookie, Bateman dropped just two of 68 targets, and he showed upside over the final month of the season, posting 100 receiving yards in one contest, a touchdown and a game with double-digit targets. This is everything you need to know for the start of the season, which will conclude on Feb. 12 at Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona. Physically and mentally, he appears ready for whatever comes his way in 2022. He has already shown his chops at training camp and earned a reputation for good footwork, impressive hands and otherworldly body control. -- Mike Triplett, The Fins' defense will struggle without Brian Flores. Washington eased Samuel into training camp as the team wanted to be extra cautious about some hamstring tightness after a year in which soft-tissue injuries limited him to five ineffective games. -- Archer, Smith is out until at least early December because of surgery to reattach his left hamstring to his knee. Bold prediction for 2022: The Giants will struggle again, which means they will draft Alabama QB Bryce Young in 2023. Wilson still has the uncanny ability to extend plays, and Jeudy has the talent to find open space in such situations.
