QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jameis Winston | 489.2 | 308.7 | 3546.7 | 22.5 | 11.74 | 46.5 | 197.6 | 1.51 | 237.21 |
| Andy Dalton | 42.5 | 27.1 | 295.4 | 1.74 | 1.23 | 12.9 | 36.1 | 0.26 | 21.49 |
Jameis Winston: While Winston (foot) will miss a few days of practice, this injury isn't considered serious. When he is on the field, he'll have an improved group of pass catchers at his disposal with the return of Michael Thomas and the additions of first-rounder Chris Olave and free agent Jarvis Landry. As long as he remains aggressive without being careless with the football, there is some upside from his current ADP.
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alvin Kamara | 206.8 | 920.3 | 6.2 | 51.7 | 428.4 | 2.8 | 214.72 |
| Mark Ingram | 139.6 | 572.4 | 4.54 | 12.3 | 88.4 | 0.6 | 103.07 |
| Dwayne Washington | 37.5 | 155.6 | 1.03 | 3 | 23.1 | 0.2 | 26.75 |
| Abram Smith | 31 | 131.8 | 0.78 | 5.2 | 38.4 | 0.3 | 26.1 |
| Adam Prentice | 5.2 | 16.1 | 0.13 | 2.7 | 19.2 | 0.1 | 6.26 |
Alvin Kamara: Kamara's battery case was delayed again, which could push an expected suspension forward to the 2023 season. Kamara set a career high in rush attempts (240), despite playing a career-low 13 games in 2021. He also set career lows in YPC (3.7), targets (67), receptions (47) and receiving yards per game (33.8). When active, however, Kamara should perform as a top-10 back or better. Excluding the four weeks he missed in 2021, Kamara was the RB4 in half-PPR scoring (RB5 on per-game basis over same span).
Mark Ingram: If Kamara is suspended during any part of the 2022 season, Ingram would likely lead the backfield in workload. If so, the 32-year-old back would become a viable RB2/flex option during that stretch, but it's looking more likely that any suspension would occur in 2023.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Thomas | 71.4 | 870.2 | 5.3 | 1.3 | 5.2 | 0.04 | 155.28 |
| Chris Olave | 53.1 | 745.4 | 4.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 126.29 |
| Jarvis Landry | 47.9 | 574.4 | 3.4 | 5.2 | 31.2 | 0.31 | 106.77 |
| Marquez Callaway | 19.3 | 247.8 | 1.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 44.03 |
| Deonte Harty | 8.6 | 107.6 | 0.7 | 5.2 | 39 | 0.23 | 24.54 |
| Tre'quan Smith | 5.9 | 82.6 | 0.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14.81 |
Michael Thomas: Thomas missed all of 2021 and appeared in only seven games in 2020. Before that, however, he led the NFL in receptions (149) and yards (1,725) in 2019. While a return to league-leading production isn't likely this season, there's a good chance that he becomes a fantasy value for managers that draft him.
Chris Olave: The 11th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Olave is a polished route-runner with the speed to win vertically. While he isn't the biggest receiver and won't break many tackles, he'll make an immediate impact and is a viable WR4 as a rookie.
Jarvis Landry: Landry returns to his home state to form a talented trio of receivers with Thomas and Olave. Landry missed five games last season, but he had never finished with fewer than 72 catches or 101 targets in a season prior to that. His target share in 2022 may turn out to be a career low, but the five-time Pro Bowler has a history of outperforming expectations.
