Moody's analysis: There were a number of great picks at wide receiver in this round, but I liked Bateman the most. JuJu Smith-Schuster, KC (WR33) - Lipscombħ9. Cordarrelle Patterson, Atl (RB28) - Doppħ4. Dillon and Jones are expected to share touches fairly evenly this season.ħ1. From Weeks 9 to 18 last season, he averaged 15.9 touches and 14.6 points. Moody's analysis: It may be wise to prioritize Dillon as the third running back, or a flex option, for your team in 2022. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, KC (RB26) - Karabell In that time frame, he has averaged 15 PPR fantasy points per game. Moody's analysis: Cooks recorded a career-high 90 receptions in 2021 and he has 171 catches in two seasons with the Texans, already tied for the seventh-most in franchise history. Travis Etienne Jr., Jax (RB24) - Cockcroft The selection of Zeke at this stage of the draft should not cause many complaints.ĥ4. Despite not being as explosive as Tony Pollard, Elliott averaged 16.8 touches per game in a dynamic Cowboys offense last season. He is a lock for 100-plus targets in 2022. His 949 receiving yards last season were the second-most by a rookie tight end of all time. Moody's analysis: Snagging Pitts was an excellent value at this stage of the draft. From a film perspective, he wasn't himself last season, and most running backs experience a major drop in production the first year back after an ACL tear. As for Barkley, he is poised to rebound from a rough 2021 season. With Matt Ryan at the helm this season, he could set career highs and finish as a low-end WR1. Moody's analysis: Pittman broke out last season with a 25.7% target share. Diontae Johnson, Pit (WR17) - Lipscombģ9. Michael Pittman Jr., Ind (WR14) - Bellģ8. With the state of the Packers' wide receivers, Jones and Dillon could be used as receivers even more in 2022.ģ5. Some may view the selection of Jones as a reach given AJ Dillon's breakout. All three should continue to lead their respective backfield in 2022. Considering their opportunity shares (rushing attempts plus targets) on their team last season, James Conner (25%), Nick Chubb (33%) and David Montgomery (36%) are excellent values. Moody's analysis: We live in a world where the supply of fantasy-relevant running backs rarely meets the demand. In his career, Kamara has averaged 17.6 touches and 21.1 points per game. From a fantasy perspective, getting Kamara in the second round is a value, even as he awaits a hearing following his February arrest. Adams averaged 10.8 targets per game over the past four seasons. Moody's analysis: Even though Adams is no longer in Green Bay, he could still see a lot of targets in 2022 from former college teammate Derek Carr. Production is not the concern, health is, as he missed four games last season and has missed at least two in each of his five years in the league.ġ6. Meanwhile, Cook has been provided a consistent workload over the past three seasons while averaging 20.7 points per game. With an improved Bengals offensive line, he has a good chance of replicating those numbers in 2022. Last season, he averaged 20.9 touches, 95.0 total yards, and 18.1 fantasy points per game. Mixon is an underrated running back in fantasy. Moody's analysis: The possibility of drafting Mixon or Cook this late in the first round should excite fantasy managers. Christian McCaffrey, Car (RB2) - Cockcroft Additional analysis of this mock from Berry, Yates, Bell and Dopp is on the Fantasy Focus Football podcast.Ģ. Finally, at the very bottom, we have included a listing of each team's roster.
