QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Tom Brady628416.14615.837.0511.330.154.21.2322.85
Blaine Gabbert47.329.3319.31.541.4211.411.40.1117.89

Tom Brady: Brady retired, then unretired, after leading the NFL in pass attempts (719), passing yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43) in his age-44 season. Not only did he throw for a career-high 5,316 yards in the NFL's first 17-game season, but his per-game average (312.7 yards) was the second best of his NFL career. Even though his rushing production is minimal in this era of dual-threat quarterbacks, his prolific passing stats propelled him to fantasy's QB3 in 2021 and he remains a viable QB1 at 45 years old (in August).

RUNNING BACKS

Giovani Bernard29.1123.70.5820148.10.845.46

Leonard Fournette: Fournette missed three games in 2021, but he more than doubled up Ronald Jones II in touches (249 to 111), scrimmage yards (1,266 to 492) and touchdowns (10 to four). With Jones now in Kansas City, there is an opportunity for Fournette to handle an even larger share of the workload in 2022. Fournette finished last season as fantasy's RB7 in half-PPR formats (and top 11 across all scoring formats).

WIDE RECEIVERS

Chris Godwin861056.17.3000192.41

Scotty Miller10130.8100024.08
Tyler Johnson8.5101.20.800019.17
Cyril Grayson1.824.70.20004.57

Mike Evans: Evans has started his career with eight consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Barring injury, he's a near lock to extend that streak in 2022. In his two seasons with Tom Brady, Evans has a total of 27 touchdowns with the two highest seasonal totals (13 and 14, respectively) of his career.

Chris Godwin: Godwin missed the final three games of the season after tearing his ACL, but he still finished with 98 catches for 1,103 yards and five touchdowns in only 14 games. While it's not definitive that he'll be ready for Week 1, there has been some optimism that he could be on the field in Dallas for Week 1.

Russell Gage: In his final two seasons in Atlanta, Gage posted consistent numbers -- 72/786/4 and 66/770/4, respectively. Although Gage will be third in line for targets behind Evans and Godwin, Tom Brady threw a league-high 719 pass attempts last season, so there's plenty to go around, especially if Rob Gronkowski stays retired.

TIGHT ENDS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Cameron Brate46.3488.64.500099.01
Kyle Rudolph24.5251.72.400051.82
Cade Otton14143.11.700031.51
Ko Kieft3.8370.40008

Cameron Brate: With Rob Gronkowski (55/802/6 in 2021) retiring and O.J. Howard (14/135/1) in Buffalo, Brate moves atop the tight end depth chart. Brate had a pair of top-10 fantasy finishes in 2016 (57/660/8) and 2017 (48/591/6) at a point in his career with greater opportunity, and there's a good chance that he exceeds his current ADP.
