2022 fantasy football breakout candidates include Trey Lance, Trevor Lawrence, and others As the NFL season draws closer, which players are primed to breakout in 2022 for fantasy football and could be values on draft day? Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Cole Kmet will join the second tier of great tight ends in 2022. 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. He could steal more work as the season progresses and it is a very affordable way to get a piece of the Chiefs offense. Trevor Lawrence, who has a better supporting cast and a much better head coach in QB developer Doug Pederson, has a shot to remind the world why he was a generational talent. Jeudy is one of those wide receivers coming into 2022 worth chancing a reach for. -- Bowen, The Browns are banking that the third-year defensive tackle is ready to emerge. On a team with Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, don't be surprised if it's Aiyuk who leads the team in receptions and receiving yards. -- 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. Tristan H. Cockcroft: Hunter Henry, New England Patriots Oweh is primed to become the first Ravens defender to record double-digit sacks since Terrell Suggs in 2017. Tristan H. Cockcroft: J.K. Dobbins, RB, Baltimore Ravens -- Newton, Rhule has gone 5-11 and 5-12 his first two seasons. Wentz represents a solid upgrade and gives the Commanders potentially their best passing attack since they had Kirk Cousins in 2017. I do not see a losing season, so I will take the Over -- Doug Kezirian. Here are a . -- Holder, Fantasy breakout candidate: Mo Alie-Cox, TE, The Colts signed Alie-Cox to a three-year deal worth $18 million ($8.2 million guaranteed). Keith Lipscomb: Travis Etienne Jr. Field Yates: Drake London. The key, then, is a questionable offensive line giving Carr enough time to find Adams downfield. The former Wolverine averaged six looks per contest from Weeks 14 through 18, managing two efforts above 65 yards and a score over that span. He can be much like Hurts was in 2020, which is a better fantasy QB than real-life QB. Bold prediction for 2022: Lamar Jackson will not sign a new deal this season. Davenport had nine sacks last year despite playing in only 11 games, but he has never played a full season. Hamler figures to break out to some degree in his third season. Davenport had offseason surgery on his right shoulder and also underwent surgery to amputate part of his left pinky, so moving forward from those things will be key. . 2022 NFL Draft: Day 1 fantasy football recap. The success of the line hinges on Stanley, who was activated from the physically unable to perform list on Aug. 26. Look for Joseph to be one of the top candidates after his Arizona defense registers top-10 numbers this season. -- Wagoner, Fantasy breakout candidate: Trey Lance, QB, Lance is expected to thrive in Kyle Shanahan's fantasy-friendly offense. Last year, Njoku was 11th in yards per route run, fifth in yards after the catch per reception and seventh in slot yards per route run (per PFF). Obviously, I can play with Cobby [Randall Cobb] in my sleep, and when he's healthy, he's a premier slot receiver in the league, [and] I feel better with Sammy." After almost 200 vacated. Even if Bakhtiari is able to get back on the field, is he still the All-Pro left tackle he had been before the injury? The following browsers are supported: Chrome, Edge (v80 and later), Firefox and Safari. They have the best net rest schedule advantage in the NFL. I still have low expectations for this team as their biggest upgrade is head coach Doug Pederson. The Chiefs will have to make a decision on his fifth-year option at the end of this season, and the addition of rookie Isiah Pacheco to the running back group could lead the Chiefs to decline that option if Edwards-Helaire doesn't produce. Love the talent, hate the price. Get started >>. The Bears have a lot of work to do in building around the former first-round pick, and they won't truly know whether he's their long-term option until the end of this season. Kyle Soppe: Darren Waller 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. -- Doug Kezirian. During those contests, Gainwell averaged 15 opportunities (rushing attempts plus targets). 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." Chubb hasn't really had everything go his way since his rookie year -- when he finished with 12 sacks -- due to a number of injuries. Throughout camp, he looked primed for another step to enter the upper echelon of pass-rushers. -- Eric Karabell, There might be some trepidation among bettors when making predictions on the win totals of Super Bowl losers. -- Eric Moody. The notoriously difficult position is one Gordon assumed immediately in training camp, and he has shown off his incredible range playing both inside and outside. Plus, he also was one of just 10 rookies since 2000 to top 180 yards in a game -- which he did against the No. But if anything was to happen to Hall, he has RB1 upside. -- Wagoner, Ward battled a muscle strain in the middle of camp, but before that, he looked every bit the part of the No. -- Woodyard, He's a man on a mission. 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. " Gabriel Davis screams breakout season for the 2022 year. Expect him to be in the Giants' three-receiver sets and he could see a boost in volume if others miss time. 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. He has overhauled his staff to add more experience and strengthened the overall roster. After missing his entire rookie season with a foot injury, the former first-round pick has flashed on preseason tape in Year 2. Ridder is an easy answer for Smith's play-action-based pass game, and it allows a rebuilding Falcons team to evaluate the position for the future. The second-round pick out of Penn State brings a playmaking element to Chicago. The season will be a success if the Steelers can both run the ball and stop the run. 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. Mills flashed some of the critical factors needed to produce consistently as a pro during his rookie season. -- 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. Field Yates: DK Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks. But new coach Brian Daboll should make the Giants' offense more functional. Its Trevor Lawrence. Are you looking to contact Customer Support about a subscription or account related question? He was an All-American heptathlete in 2022, so teams will love his overall athleticism, and I expect him to test very well in a variety of drills. Daniel Dopp: Jerry Jeudy, Denver Broncos Both tight ends finished 2021 as top-10 options at the position in fantasy points per game. -- Erin Dolan. -- Erin Dolan. -- Barshop, Fantasy breakout candidate: Allen Robinson II, WR, Last season's plummet in Chicago was disturbing, and he just turned 29. -- Mike Triplett, The Pats won 10 games last season. Will the Philadelphia Eagles win the NFC East? Matt Bowen: Trey Lance In 2022, he could see his numbers skyrocket now that Eric Ebron is no longer on the roster. If Jones' injury lingers throughout the season, the Dolphins' pass defense could become a major issue. 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. The 6-2, 210-pound third-year receiver will now be one of the starters in the Bills high passing offense. His skill set allows him to break away from defensive backs and linebackers, and his lack of touchdowns last season feels like an aberration. Most important discovery at camp: The defense might be legit. And with a softer schedule, the Colts are primed to finish with one of the top records in the AFC. The jury is still out in regard to Tua Tagovailoa -- especially playing behind a suspect offensive line. 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. -- Anita Marks. Bold prediction for 2022: The Bills will win Super Bowl LVII. This season will be a positive if Wilson improves significantly in every area and leaves no doubt that he has the talent, durability and mental makeup to lead the Jets to a championship. While Adams will take some defensive attention away from Waller, he's also going to take away targets. -- DiRocco. Miles Sanders will surprise folks in 2022 during a contract year and break out. Mike Clay: Drake London, Atlanta Falcons Gabriel Davis, WR, Buffalo Bills (Bye Week: 7) Davis is on so many of these "breakout stars" lists that expectations for the Bills wide receiver are going to be . With Miles Sanders' struggles catching passes, Gainwell could see even more targets as a receiver out of the backfield in 2022. Describe the QB situation in three words: DJ's last chance. That's important for the Chiefs, who are looking to ignite a pass rush that was 29th in the league in sacks last season (31). A lot of them. 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. 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. 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). 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. 32 NFL teams, 32 looming free agent decisions: Which players will return to their team? Nico Collins, WR, Texans (Bye Week: 6) Collins had a solid rookie season, finishing second on the Texans in receptions (33) and yards (446), along with one touchdown. It's not too late to play with friends and family. Eric Moody: Noah Fant, Seattle Seahawks 2022 NFL draft by position. Olave stands out among the six receivers selected in Round 1. But he hasn't done enough in Pete Carroll's view to overtake former Wilson backup Geno Smith, who will start Week 1. 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. Field Yates: Noah Fant. Both are among the prime contenders to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the conclusion of the season. Theres simply too much emphasis placed on Cam Akers poor production at the tail end of 2021 (2.4 YPC) amid a juggernaut of a tough run defenses that no Rams RB could run efficiently against. Waller was limited to 11 games due to injury last season, causing his numbers to plummet compared to the season before, when he finished with 107 receptions, 1,196 yards and nine touchdowns. Hurst is out to show he can be a quality starter in the league and could be a key player for a Bengals team looking to field one of the best offenses in the NFL. Bold prediction for 2022: Mills will join the discussion as one of the top second-year quarterbacks. Kmet saw a total of just 12 red zone targets last year, with only six end zone targets. If they don't, Atlanta will know it has to be in the draft or free agency quarterback market next offseason. Listed below are some high-end breakout candidates that I target in drafts: Kyle Pitts, Jalen Hurts, Travis Etienne, Breece Hall, Michael Pittman, Marquise Brown. When Jackson threw a career-worst 13 interceptions last season, he received lackluster protection from his blockers up front. Without a true fit as an in-line tight end for McDaniel's system, the Dolphins will move Gesicki. -- Bowen, Because of the presence of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, there aren't many targets for other players in Miami's offense, but Ezukanma, a fourth-round pick in April, has a real shot at becoming the Dolphins' No. Dont forget that the Bills wideout averaged 19.8 fantasy PPR points per game in his last six games as a full-time player. London is a big-bodied receiver who can win 50/50 balls and be utilized in the red/end zone. Sanders was lead back in the offense, even in a committee when he was on the field. In an offense that caters to the quarterback's dual-threat ability, Shanahan takes the Niners deep into January. Mar 1, 2023. The running back might not ultimately be what he was in his rookie year (1,307 rushing yards), but this is the most explosive he has looked in a while. That translated to the field last season. 10. Bold prediction for 2022: Miami will trade tight end Mike Gesicki before the November deadline. In addition, we have preseason power rankings, fantasy breakout players, over/under on wins, depth charts, schedules and rosters for every team. But the goal this offseason was to get younger, faster and more physical along the interior defensive line, and Akiem Hicks, who's 32, paired with Vita Vea could make for a devastating pass rush. 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. But the remade defense, under new coordinator Patrick Graham, has to show up and keep games manageable. The Bengals will be looking to see how Higgins will fit in their long-term future. Our panel comprises the following ESPN Fantasy writers and editors: Stephania Bell, Matt Bowen, Mike Clay, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Daniel Dopp, Joe Kaiser, Eric Karabell, Keith Lipscomb, Liz Loza, Eric Moody, Kyle Soppe and Field Yates. Terrell and Casey Hayward. 3 receiver by the end of the season. -- DiRocco, Fantasy breakout candidate: Travis Etienne Jr., RB, He has elite acceleration and an uncanny ability to spin and slip through a variety of tackles. 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. In year two, we saw him flash his fantasy potential with his rushing ability but saw that his passing ability still needed work. -- Bowen, 32 teams, 32 bold predictions and breakout candidates: Our NFL team-by-team preview. Will Tony Pollard take over for Ezekiel Elliott in Dallas? Kyle Soppe: Jaylen Waddle Chase will find the end zone plenty of times this season given his explosive-play juice, but it will be Higgins who will stretch the seams in the red zone and use his vertical matchup ability to rack up touchdowns. 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. -- Bowen, The rookie had a strong preseason and looks poised to make a big contribution in his first season. He's a vertical threat who can generate yardage after the catch and win contested catches. 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. Him not starting over Sanders was the biggest head scratcher to me, but the Bills elected to ease the second-year receiver along until later in the season. With the 2022 NFL season now officially in the books, all eyes turn toward the 2023 NFL Draft. -- 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. -- Erin Dolan. Can the Lions fix their defense? That was the game where the world learned the name Gabriel Davis, but this season will be the year he becomes a household name. Tristan H. Cockcroft: Cordarrelle Patterson, Atlanta Falcons You won't want to miss a moment of the 2022 season! Mike Clay: Joe Burrow -- Laine, Jones is a future Pro Football Hall of Famer and will help offset the loss of WR Antonio Brown and TE Rob Gronkowski's productivity in the red zone. Many did foresee Hurts' (who finished sixth in fantasy. Bold prediction for 2022: No. Coach Nick Sirianni said the joint practices with the Miami Dolphins on Aug. 24 were Jalen Hurts' best practices since Sirianni arrived in Philadelphia. But first, the team needs to weather receiver DeAndre Hopkins' absence during the first six games while he serves a suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. I expect the O-line to be healthier and the defense to be slightly better with the talent added to the secondary. Lazard established career highs last season with 40 catches for 513 yards and three touchdowns in a secondary role. -- Bowen, The rookie is dealing with a sprained right MCL. The top 15 RBs in terms of total points last season scored, on average, 12.1 touchdowns, and the presence of Gordon on this roster, not to mention a potentially more open offense to cater to Wilson, makes it tough to assume Williams reaches that threshold. It's a big part of why Patrick Mahomes led the NFL in passing yards that came after the catch last season. The season will be a success if the Rams win the Super Bowl. So, who has the best shot at significantly outperforming their draft cost? It's the anticipated red zone usage, however, that puts the third-year tight end in the mix for a potential breakout season. -- Bowen. They have one of the best rosters in the NFL top to bottom and are especially strong along the offensive and defensive lines. Lets not forget that Davis should expect a heavy dose of red zone looks with his bigger-bodied frame. Bold prediction for 2022: The Colts will secure the No. The timing is dreadful, because it is so close to the start of the regular season, and the Cowboys don't have a ready-made replacement at left tackle. -- 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. Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are back for a post-Super Bowl edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! Will Derek Carr and Davante Adams dominate the passing game for the Las Vegas Raiders? -- Turron Davenport. If Akers gets anything close to the sort of workload Todd Gurley that got during McVays first two seasons with the Rams, the young running back is going to be a fantasy force. But Toney also passes the eye test, as not many humans have his combination of speed and shiftiness. Bold prediction for 2022: Safety Jaquan Brisker will lead all rookies in interceptions. Breakout: A player (rookies included) who will rise up with career-best numbers in 2022 and make a huge impact. Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are back for a Super Bowl edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! The Colts, ever reluctant to invest significantly at cornerback, broke with their recent tendencies and got aggressive by signing Gilmore in March. Sanders YPA has improved each season (5.5 in 2022), and the expectation of touchdown progression is there. Also, the Texans' offensive roster is better than most think. Here are the players most likely to make the vaunted second-year leap. 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. The chemistry with Carr is real, and so is Adams' preternatural ability to get open and come down with the tough catch. Lance could perform in that role, with more deep throws mixed in because he has a cannon of an arm. -- Paul Gutierrez. Mike Clay: Allen Robinson II, Los Angeles Rams Drake London was my top rookie receiver coming into the draft and he remains it after. Daniel Dopp: Derek Carr, QB, Las Vegas Raiders -- Trotter, Fantasy breakout candidate: David Bell, WR, The third-round pick from Purdue enters a relatively wide-open wide receiver situation with the skills to provide immediate aid in catches out of the slot. Buy the Gabriel Davis breakout. How will that impact his play -- and that of the defense -- when he does return? Cam Akers (RB LAR) Keith Lipscomb: Garrett Wilson, New York Jets There's no question he is the Texans' best running back. Eric Moody: Dameon Pierce, Houston Texans Eric Karabell: Michael Thomas Jan 26, 2022 Free agency and the draft are now on the minds of every NFL team except the Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams the final four vying for the Lombardi Trophy. -- Courtney Cronin. Liz Loza: Mike Gesicki, Miami Dolphins Simmons caught fire last season, posting a career-high 8.5 sacks in the regular season and three of the Titans' nine sacks in their divisional playoff loss to the Bengals. When asked recently about the pecking order behind Lazard, Rodgers said: "There's definitely some guys that you feel really good about. Stephania Bell: Elijah Mitchell, San Francisco 49ers The surrounding players are there, but it's hard to see 11-plus wins with the unproven Lance. SEA | TB | TEN | WSH. After attending every training camp practice and watching every preseason game, here are last-minute tips for players you could select in your draft. -- Ben Baby, Anyone who watched the Bengals for five minutes last postseason knew the offensive line needed to improve its pass blocking. The second-year wideout has received glowing reviews during camp and projects to work as a complement to Brandin Cooks. Field Yates: AJ Dillon. Cook's departure frees up 80-plus targets, which could lead to some monster efforts for the South Alabama product. -- Matt Bowen, It's a rebuilding season. -- Getzenberg, Fantasy breakout candidate: WR Gabe Davis, With more anticipated volume in one of the league's top offenses, Davis has serious breakout potential as a No. "It seemed like everything had slowed down for him and he was getting the ball out on time," he said. Matt Bowen: Russell Gage, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Liz Loza: Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers 1Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers. 2023 NFL Enterprises LLC. WR Gabriel Davis: No other Buffalo skill player comes close to Davis for breakout honors. In Eberflus' system, Brisker can play top down on the ball and create disruption in the middle of the field. -- Doug Kezirian. He flashed his upside last season when he scored over 20 fantasy points in less than a half, coming in for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo. And the best part? 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. -- 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. 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. And whenever Toney is on the field, his big-play ability could win you weeks. Gilmore will turn 32 on Sept. 19, but so far, he doesn't look his age. Jackson's estimated return is two to four weeks, which means he could miss back-to-back division games against the Raiders and Chiefs to open the season. Bold prediction for 2022: Mayfield will sign a contract extension with Carolina in December. MJ Melendez, C/OF, Kansas City Royals. Which RB has the best shot of having a breakout year in 2022 and why? Kyle Soppe: Trey Lance Carson Wentz has issues -- he can be inaccurate and make questionable decisions under duress. Quarterback Russell Wilson has spent plenty of time getting in sync with Jeudy, who has been a regular in the quarterback meetings to try to speed up that process. In McDaniels' schemed pass game, Carr will be set up to attack open coverage voids and cut it loose on deep ball throws. -- Bowen, Waller missed most of the second half of training camp with what was described as a hamstring issue, even as rumors floated that the 2020 Pro Bowl tight end was "holding in," waiting for a contract extension. 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. 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.
