2022 nfl fantasy breakout players

-- Demovsky, Fantasy breakout candidate: Romeo Doubs, WR, The rookie wideout seemed to earn the trust of Aaron Rodgers and had a big preseason. -- Pryor, Fantasy breakout candidate: Pat Freiermuth, TE, Freiermuth tied for first among tight ends in 2021 with 20 red zone targets. Considering that Joe Burrow has a high percentage of his offensive playmakers returning along with an improved offensive line, this is a modest total. Drew Lock has flashed plenty of talent. More for comfort, more than anything," Chargers coach Brandon Staley said. In order to get Adams on the field with QB Derek Carr . It's an answer we won't know for at least two months, if not the whole season. Kyle Soppe: Kyler Murray He was on pace for more than 1,500 yards last season, before a partially torn posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee took away his burst. I refuse to believe that the guy who tore up college football for three seasons isnt going to make it in the NFL. Over the last six games of the 2021 season, he averaged 19.5 fantasy points for a Seahawks team that relies heavily on the running game. Liz Loza: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas City Chiefs They have one of the best rosters in the NFL top to bottom and are especially strong along the offensive and defensive lines. touchdowns in 15 games and is one to watch in the years ahead as a potential breakout star . NE | NO | NYG | NYJ | PHI | PIT | SF -- Anita Marks. Garrett racked up 16 sacks last season, and he has 58.5 over just five years. Which RB has the best shot of having a breakout year in 2022 and why? Eric Karabell: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Denver Broncos After a stellar 2020, he was held without a sack and saw his season end in December because of his second labrum tear in as many years. And the best part? Washington not only will have one of the easiest schedules this season, but its defense will face the fifth-easiest slate of offensive opponents (per offensive efficiency). He and Davis Mills spent much of the summer working out together and further developing the chemistry that started to build last winter. Injuries have been his biggest hurdle, and he has already been banged up in camp. -- Holder, Describe the QB situation in three words: Colts significantly upgraded, It remains to be seen how much 37-year old Matt Ryan has left, but the Colts are confident they will see better results than they did with Carson Wentz under center last season. If he has made another one with Mayfield, and the Panthers don't contend for the playoffs, team owner David Tepper might not have the patience to give him a fourth year. Matt Bowen: Russell Gage, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Deeper breakout options include Daniel Jones, Jameis Winston and, if healthy, Zach Wilson. Correctly predicting and projecting them before the start of the season can be the difference between winning your fantasy football league and getting a tattoo for coming in last place. 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. -- Laine, Fantasy breakout candidate: Cameron Brate, TE, The retirement of Gronkowski and O.J. The success of the line hinges on Stanley, who was activated from the physically unable to perform list on Aug. 26. Pierce's vision, along with his explosiveness to power through defenders, is eye-popping. Field Yates: Logan Thomas. Joe Kaiser: Jerry Jeudy Quick Hits: There is a tier of QB2s that bring a lot of breakout upside. Bold prediction for 2022: Mills will join the discussion as one of the top second-year quarterbacks. By rule, he'll miss at least four games, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss a few more. Eric Karabell: Hunter Henry Sure, he hasn't done so much in his NFL career, but last season he finished inside the top four in completion percentage and yards per attempt on throws of at least 20 air yards. Yes, the offense could be gross if Jacoby Brissett is the quarterback, but David Njoku can still ascend this season. Plus, the upside if he stays healthy is that he can finish as a top-15 RB. At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, Collins thrives in contested situations, dominating on the outside and in the red zone. Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Gabriel Davis screams breakout season for the 2022 year. 1 receiver, and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with him." A trip to the NFC title game is within reach assuming Hurts makes strides in his second season as the full-time starter. Bold prediction for 2022: Pollard will replace Elliott as the Cowboys' lead back. Bold prediction for 2022: Carr will throw a career-high 35 touchdown passes in McDaniels' offense. 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. Gilmore will turn 32 on Sept. 19, but so far, he doesn't look his age. Richie Grant, the team's second-round pick last year, has shown improvement at safety, and there's a good mix of talent and experience around him. The key, then, is a questionable offensive line giving Carr enough time to find Adams downfield. Tristan H. Cockcroft: Aaron Rodgers Davis brings a ton of upside in that role. Dameon Pierce was not a favorite of mine entering the draft, but that quickly changed when he went to Houston. -- Anita Marks. In 2021, Fields rushed for 420 yards -- and two scores -- in just 12 games played. -- McManus. Eric Karabell: Trevor Lawrence -- Bowen, The rookie is dealing with a sprained right MCL. Make sure to follow Michael on Twitter and Instagram. -- 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. "Rare" as in here is the list of players who have ever done that: LaDainian Tomlinson, Jim Brown, Adrian Peterson and Emmitt Smith. Only the 17th-highest-paid tight end in the NFL, Waller is a game-breaker when healthy but missed six games last season because of back and knee issues, and coach Josh McDaniels would not commit to Waller playing in the season opener. It's a big part of why Patrick Mahomes led the NFL in passing yards that came after the catch last season. Bold prediction for 2022: The Giants will struggle again, which means they will draft Alabama QB Bryce Young in 2023. Breakouts. -- Erin Dolan. No matter who's throwing the football, Pickens will undoubtedly make plays. Plus, he also was one of just 10 rookies since 2000 to top 180 yards in a game -- which he did against the No. It's a position group the Falcons can feel really good about. -- Adam Teicher, Player on hot seat: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Edwards-Helaire hasn't been a bust, and he is in no danger of losing his job right now, but he hasn't had the expected impact of a first-round draft pick. Allen Robinson is now gone, so Kmet is likely sliding into that No. -- Eric Moody, The Eagles check all the boxes. Producing consistent WR3 numbers in 2022 might be a stretch, but with Mayfield's deep-ball ability, he should see an increase in volume and opportunity as a potential No. He'll see the necessary volume to push past Aaron Jones in rushing totals. But he is also likely to lose passing snaps to Gainwell, who is a tremendous receiver out of the backfield. Ultimately, if Hunt wants a big contract next offseason, either from the Browns or another team, he'll need to produce this season while staying relatively healthy. Kyle Pitts, Jalen Hurts, Travis Etienne, Breece Hall, Michael Pittman, Marquise Brown. Which first-round prospects should Raiders focus on at combine? With limitations at the quarterback position and two downhill backs, Seattle is going to pound the ball between the tackles. Keith Lipscomb: Darnell Mooney -- Eric Karabell, While Rodgers is coming off consecutive MVPs, this season will be much different without Pro Bowl wide receiver Davante Adams, who commanded a large target share. At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, Collins thrives in contested situations, dominating on the outside and in the red zone. Jackson and the Ravens are my pick to win the AFC North, and I see Jackson playing his way into the MVP discussion, but without a new deal that both sides can agree on, the Ravens ultimately will use the franchise tag on him this offseason. Isaiah McKenzie will be the starting slot receiver for the Buffalo Bills. And his numbers from the divisional playoff loss to Kansas City -- eight receptions, 201 yards receiving, four touchdowns -- point to his upside in the Bills' passing game. When Lamar Jackson was the NFL MVP in 2019, he played behind one of the league's best offensive lines. Without a true fit as an in-line tight end for McDaniel's system, the Dolphins will move Gesicki. Jeudy is simply too good a route runner, and few things symbolized the quagmire of the Broncos' offense last season more than the fact Jeudy finished a season without a touchdown. Cappa was the marquee addition who earned nearly as much in guaranteed money ($11 million) as the other two new starters on the offensive line -- center Ted Karras and right tackle La'el Collins ($6 million each) -- combined. Aiyuk followed that strong finish with his first full "normal" offseason spent working out with Lance and honing his route-running ability. Jeudy is one of those wide receivers coming into 2022 worth chancing a reach for. When Jackson threw a career-worst 13 interceptions last season, he received lackluster protection from his blockers up front. Having that kind of familiarity -- Brown and Murray throw often in the offseason -- should help Brown hit the ground running in Week 1. Daniel Dopp: Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints Wentz still has a strong arm and seems comfortable in Washington -- he also has much to prove. Sanders YPA has improved each season (5.5 in 2022), and the expectation of touchdown progression is there. McCaffrey hopes a change in preparation he received, in part, from Marshall Faulk will keep him healthy and help him return to the level he was in 2019, when he had 1,000 yards rushing and receiving. -- Matt Bowen, The Bears hired a first-time head coach (Matt Eberflus) and didn't help Fields by adding playmakers or upgrading the offensive line. -- John Keim, Young tore his right ACL and MCL on Nov. 14 and will open the season on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. Run game coordinator/assistant head coach Harold Goodwin likened practicing against them to "trying to stop a motor home." Olave could lead the team in targets. -- Bowen. The season will be a success if the Bills win the Super Bowl. Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), David Njoku (TE CLE) -- Erin Dolan. 32 NFL teams, 32 looming free agent decisions: Which players will return to their team? Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are back for another special edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! But don't let the new kids make you forget about the flashes we saw from Moore as a second-round pick in 2021. Burrow enjoyed a breakout 2021 season in which he paced the NFL in completion percentage and yards per attempt (YPA), while finishing no lower than eighth in passing yardage and TDs. -- Liz Loza, This is their time. Also, the lack of team speed is visible versus the NFL's top competition. Other times its a veteran who has the potential to see a larger role or is one injury away from becoming a high-volume starter. -- Bowen. Lets see how he does under the tutelage of new Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson, who once coaxed an MVP-caliber season out of Carson Wentz and managed to win a Super Bowl in Philadelphia with Nick Foles running his offense. 2 seed in the AFC. Jalen Hurts, Deebo Samuel and Cordarrelle Patterson were just a few players who broke out in a big way for fantasy managers last year. -- Anita Marks. But they will ask Lance to take care of the ball, make the occasional big play and, most important, improve as the year goes on. Isiah Pacheco has had a lot of hype out of Chiefs camp and has played with the ones in the preseason. But if you are looking for a guy primed for a big jump, that's Jeudy. Projecting the futures of Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook and other Vikings veterans. Gardner, drafted No. That is elite company. Most important discovery at camp: The defense might be legit. -- Weinfuss, Describe the QB situation in three words: Time to win, Murray is coming off signing a mega extension this offseason that'll keep him in Arizona through the 2028 season, but it's time for Murray to show why he was worth $230.5 million and win a playoff game for the first time in his career. An improved offense should get Sanders more opportunity to produce strong fantasy numbers. -- Brady Henderson, The rookie is trying to make it back by Week 1 following a mid-August hernia procedure. Here are a . The Browns have limited proven options behind Amari Cooper, especially ones with Njokus rare athletic talent. -- Archer, Fantasy breakout candidate: Tony Pollard, RB, The efficient Pollard enters his fourth campaign with a chance to push Elliott for a larger share of touches and perhaps his first 1,000-yard rushing season. -- Erin Dolan. Even with wideout Tim Patrick's season-ending knee injury, the Broncos have enough playmakers to make it all go. There is no more guaranteed money in his deal beyond this season, which would make it easier for the Cowboys to move on from him in 2023. Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Cole Kmet will join the second tier of great tight ends in 2022. I still have low expectations for this team as their biggest upgrade is head coach Doug Pederson. Take the shot on his upside at that price. They will need it in a division that includes Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Stefon Diggs. -- Eric Moody, Coach Mike Tomlin has not had a losing season in 15 years with the Steelers. -- Liz Loza, A very tough number because it feels like they'll have 10 or 11 wins. Bold prediction for 2022: Offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich will be one of the top head-coaching candidates at the end of the season. Tristan H. Cockcroft: Cordarrelle Patterson, Atlanta Falcons With Davante Adams departing in the offseason, the Packers wide receiver core has become a curious one for fantasy football enthusiasts. 2. " Gabriel Davis screams breakout season for the 2022 year. Penny's long injury history and the presumed plan to not overwork him means Walker should get plenty of touches once he's back. He gets to play with Russell Wilson too. Olave was able to accomplish this while playing alongside fellow first-round pick Garrett Wilson and projected 2023 first-rounder Jaxon Smith-Njigba. -- Josh Weinfuss, The Cardinals traded for the receiver on the first day of the NFL draft, reuniting him with his college quarterback, Kyler Murray. CLE | DAL | DEN | DET | GB | HOU | IND Jalen Hurts, Deebo Samuel and Cordarrelle Patterson were just a few players who broke out in a big way for fantasy managers last year. The Broncos not only brought in Russell Wilson to bolster the pass game; they also re-signed Melvin Gordon III. -- Bowen, Osborn stood out throughout training camp, even while sharing the field with superstar Justin Jefferson. With the NFL announcement that the Bills-Bengals game has been cancelled, here is the latest on how stat corrections from that non-resumed game will affect NFL Fantasy Football leagues. While the problem is believed to have been addressed, the recovery period has been lengthy and is ongoing. -- Eric Moody, The Titans have won at least nine games in each of Mike Vrabel's four years at the helm. The Jaguars hope the addition of Travon Walker will have the same impact on Allen. If he does that and the Niners stay healthy, they believe they can return to the Super Bowl. Daniel Dopp: AJ Dillon, Green Bay Packers He's a well-rounded pass-catcher, whose experience as a Z offers fantasy managers a steady share of regular opportunities. With schemed fronts and twists/stunts, Lawson has the power and closing speed to win matchups. He is in line for upward of 90 targets, with 10% to 15% of them in the red zone. But McKenzie is even more explosive and faster than Cole Beasley, meaning he could pick up more yards after the catch and even be targeted downfield at times. -- Liz Loza, Mills exceeded expectations in the Texans' four-win 2021 season, and don't forget about the surprising victories against the Chargers and Titans. Our NFL Nation reporters have you covered with intel and projections on all 32 teams ahead of kickoff.

Bold prediction for 2022: Miami will trade tight end Mike Gesicki before the November deadline. Most important discovery at camp: Saquon Barkley is back. Reuniting with Adams and getting a healthy Darren Waller back figures to improve his efficiency and push his passing touchdown total above 30. While the 2022 NFL regular season ended, it's never too early to look ahead to the 2023 campaign. -- Mike Triplett, The Saints face some stiff competition in the AFC North and NFC West, but the offense and defense should still be solid after hitting nine wins last season. Owner Robert Kraft set the expectation in March when he said, "More than anything, it bothers me that we haven't been able to win a playoff game in the last three years." -- 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. Quarterback Tom Brady called his comeback after a 40-day retirement "unfinished business." He fell into a situation where he will be the unquestioned Day One WR1 for the Falcons. Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are back for a Super Bowl edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! -- McManus, Fantasy breakout candidate: Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Last season, Gainwell averaged 19 fantasy points per game in his best four games. As in, the Seahawks are going from a likely Hall of Famer in Russell Wilson to a pair of options that aren't all that inspiring. With favorable matchups against the Giants, Panthers, Jaguars, Jets and Falcons, the Ravens might have better luck in close contests this season. And we know the pass-catching traits are there to see the ball in Chicago's new offensive system with quarterback Justin Fields entering his second pro season. Mike Clay: Allen Robinson II, Los Angeles Rams He won't be Washington's top offensive threat, but his versatility and quickness underneath will impact their offense. The Falcons swapped veteran Matt Ryan for Marcus Mariota, Calvin Ridley is suspended for the season, they have a daunting schedule and they are expected to regress after going 7-2 in one-score games last season. He's a vertical threat who can generate yardage after the catch and win contested catches. -- Katherine Terrell, He finally worked his way back from the left ankle injury that has taken over his career for the past two years, but a new hamstring issue popped up at the end of training camp. Bold prediction for 2022: Leonard Floyd will lead the team in sacks. They ranked top-8 in that category the three seasons prior. And the Seahawks seem likely to be drafting a QB early next April. Robinson should have his share of productive games, but if he's going among the top 25 at his position, he's too pricey for my tastes. He had his best year when Calais Campbell and Yannick Ngakoue were with him. Sure, Lawrence had a rough rookie season, but Urban Meyer was running a three-ring circus in Jacksonville last year, so Im happy to give Lawrence a mulligan. With both being able to beat defenders downfield and after the catch, teams are going to have to play the Dolphins deeper than in the past. -- Weinfuss, Fantasy breakout candidate: Rondale Moore, WR, Moore saw 65 targets as a rookie, a number that should climb in 2022 with Hopkins suspended the first six weeks. Bold prediction for 2022: Myles Garrett will win Defensive Player of the Year. The Niners won't ask Trey Lance to be the focal point of a team with championship aspirations. These 10 players could reach an elite fantasy level in 2022. If Elliott can transform into a consistently disruptive force inside, Cleveland's defensive line featuring Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney will be all the more daunting for opposing QBs. Davis fits the bill. The 2022 NFL season kicks off Thursday night, when the reigning Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams host the Buffalo Bills (8:20 p.m., NBC). He looked as quick and smooth as he ever has this summer, and with left tackle Tyron Smith's injury, the Cowboys will lean on the run. Stephania Bell: Matt Ryan -- Seifert, Fantasy breakout candidate: Adam Thielen, WR, I'm really stretching the "breakout" definition, but I think Thielen is being overlooked because of his age and recent injury history. He has already shown his chops at training camp and earned a reputation for good footwork, impressive hands and otherworldly body control. Both are among the prime contenders to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the conclusion of the season. Parker's 6-foot-3, 219-pound frame has given him an edge on slants and on 50-50 balls that Parker refers to as 80-20s in his favor. NFL 2022 top NFL fantasy football breakout players at each position The NFL regular season starts in just 28 days, so it's time to start thinking about your fantasy team, and that. The first and most obvious is. Keep an eye on second-year wideout Terrace Marshall Jr. here too. No one expects a title or even the playoffs this year; we're talking about 2023 and beyond. At the heart of their season was Christian Kirk proving everyone wrong who said the Jaguars. He was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list to start the NFL season, and he will miss at least the first four games. Waller turns 30 in September, and the addition of Davante Adams over the offseason means the Raiders have one of the premier -- and highest-paid -- receivers in the NFL. Detroit's coaching staff is doing its best to keep the hype under control, but there's no denying his early production. -- Eric Moody, I do not believe in Lance, but I do believe in Shanahan. Kenneth Gainwell ran well in the preseason, while Miles Sanders continues to miss time due to injury. -- Woodyard, Fantasy breakout candidate: D'Andre Swift, RB, Swift is already quite valuable in fantasy, but the upside is there -- should he stay healthy and earn more volume -- to become one of the top running backs in the league. With suboptimal quarterback play, Chubb, Hunt and Amari Cooper can accomplish only so much. The dynamic in San Francisco is expected to change in 2022, and assuming Lance is the Week 1 starter, he's undervalued as QB13. The Dolphins invested heavily in the supporting cast of their most important player. Joe Kaiser: Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars -- Paul Gutierrez. 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. 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. -- 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. 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. Steven Pintado (The Fantasy Coaches), Mitch Trubisky (QB PIT) 3 in Arizona behind DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques, Jones began training camp on the PUP list after offseason Achilles surgery and missed the entire preseason. They signed Duane Brown, 37, and moved Fant to right tackle, where he's not as good. Bateman has an excellent chance to finish as a top-20 fantasy receiver and could potentially finish in WR1 range. He should take quite a bit of pressure off of Mills, power the run game and allow the Texans to have an efficient and balanced offense. -- Mike Triplett, Coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are the best things that could have happened to Daniel Jones. If Jones' injury lingers throughout the season, the Dolphins' pass defense could become a major issue. You won't want to miss a moment of the 2022 season! Former first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene did not take the step forward the Dolphins hoped for this summer and would represent a clear target for opposing offenses if he had to start games this season. 1 overall draft pick plays close to his 2020 level -- when he had an 11-5 record and a playoff win -- there's enough talent around him on offense and the defense is good enough to make Carolina a playoff contender. Without one or both of them, however, the line is a major question. -- Cimini, Fantasy breakout candidate: Elijah Moore, WR, Lots of intriguing candidates on the Jets with rookies Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall. This is one of the most important seasons in recent memory because of the talent the front office has put together. -- Matt Bowen, The Panthers went 5-12 last season, and they have gone under their preseason win total in each year under Rhule. Carson Wentz has issues -- he can be inaccurate and make questionable decisions under duress. Even after running 200 fewer routes than Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley, Davis had the second-highest WR3 finish rate on the Bills. -- Eric Moody. 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.

Now he will have Tyreek Hill, who I believe is the most influential non-QB offensive player, along with Jaylen Waddle. And whenever Toney is on the field, his big-play ability could win you weeks. -- Newton, Fantasy breakout candidate: Robbie Anderson, WR, In 2020, Anderson's first season with Rhule and the Panthers, he caught 95 passes and topped 1,000 yards receiving. The surgically repaired right ankle is not an issue. He can be a disruptive force for a Jets defense that will feature some young talent this season. Jones likes the way Parker attacks the ball, and pairing him with three other capable receivers in Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne gives the Patriots a diverse set of options. This year, he will be the No. -- Legwold, Fantasy breakout candidate: KJ Hamler, WR, Hamler is a true downfield threat who is back to health after an ACL tear in his left knee. But Washington owns the NFL's worst combined Total QBR over the past four seasons with 10 different starting quarterbacks. Davante Adams, Raiders WR. Bold prediction for 2022: Cornerback Pat Surtain II will be named first-team All-Pro. Fantasy managers who drafted these players last season know very well how . Herbert is elite and they have improved their defense. For the first time in his NFL career, Tua Tagovailoa is being surrounded with elite talent. Bold prediction for 2022: Kyle Shanahan will win NFL Coach of the Year. With the traits of a WR1 and the body control to track the ball, Pickens has the ability to win isolation matchups outside the numbers and post up defenders in the red zone. In 2021, 95% of his rushing yards came after contact the highest mark in the NFL. And yet he finished eighth in fantasy points, with a ridiculous 47% of those points coming in three games -- his only weekly finishes better than eighth on the season. -- Rothstein. Derek Brown (FantasyPros). Field Yates: AJ Dillon. He has a chance to steal the job away from Sanders and he is going off the board in the double-digit rounds as an RB4. -- Seifert, Most important discovery at camp: Christian Darrisaw, OT, The left tackle appears to have taken a big step since his rookie season, a huge development at such an important position.
