QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Aaron Rodgers	556.3	364.4	4088.8	29.76	10.01	36.8	106.7	1.38	281.52
Zach Wilson	35.5	20.1	252.1	1.1	0.99	4.3	19.4	0.22	15.76

Aaron Rodgers: After winning back-to-back NFL MVP awards in 2020 and 2021, Rodgers numbers (without Davante Adams) were well below his career averages across the board in 2022 — 64.6% (65.3% career average), 4.8 TD% (6.2%), 2.2 INT% (1.4%), 6.8 Y/A (7.7) and 91.1 passer rating (103.6). Regardless of how long the next era of his career lasts, Rodgers joins a Jets team that has a better supporting cast than he had last year in Green Bay.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Breece Hall	183.4	825.3	5.5	39.8	329.9	2.1	181.02
Dalvin Cook	144.4	635.4	4.48	26.9	212.7	1.4	133.54
Michael Carter	28.1	118	0.7	12.5	76	0.5	32.85
Israel Abanikanda	19.5	81.9	0.47	4	30.4	0.2	17.25
Nick Bawden	0	0	0	1.2	8.7	0.1	2.07

Breece Hall: Before Hall tore his ACL, his NFL career was off to a great start. The rookie from Iowa State averaged 5.8 yards per carry and 11.5 yards per reception through seven games. His workload had jumped considerably in Weeks 4-6 (61 touches) from Weeks 1-3 (34). Who knows how good his rookie season would have been if the injury hadn't happened? There are lots of reasons for fantasy managers to be excited about Hall's long-term outlook, but it wouldn't be a shock if he starts the 2023 season slowly, especially with Dalvin Cook joining the Jets on a one-year deal.

Dalvin Cook: Cook appeared in all 17 games last season, and it was the first time that played more than 14 games in a season. Now a Jet, he's no longer the clear lead back, but it's possible that he starts the season with a larger share of the workload as the Jets ease Hall back from injury.

Michael Carter: Carter had double-digit touches in eight of the first nine games last season, but he had only 28 touches — 15 carries for 32 yards and 13 catches for 79 yards — over the final five games. The team kept him over Zonovan Knight, but his opportunities will be limited as long as both Hall and Cook are healthy.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Garrett Wilson	83.1	1048.3	7.1	5	27.5	0.18	192.81
Allen Lazard	61.3	779.2	5.7	2.6	15.6	0.1	144.93
Mecole Hardman	32.9	479.7	3.2	6.9	44.9	0.21	89.37
Randall Cobb	32.7	369	2.8	1.9	8.6	0.04	71.15
Xavier Gipson	8.7	99.8	0.7	0	0	0	18.53
Jason Brownlee	5.6	67.3	0.5	0	0	0	12.53
Irvin Charles	2.7	34.7	0.2	0	0	0	6.02

Garrett Wilson: Despite poor quarterback play, Wilson was outstanding in 2022 as he finished with 83 receptions for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns and was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. More efficient quarterback play should help Wilson in his second season.

Allen Lazard: Lazard posted career highs in targets (100), receptions (60) and yards (788) last season. Although Lazard edged his Packers teammate Christian Watson in fantasy points scored last season, both of whom finished as top-36 performers, Watson outscored him on a per-game basis. While he benefits from continuing to catch passes from Aaron Rodgers, there's a clear talent gap between Garrett Wilson and Lazard.

Mecole Hardman: Hardman has the potential to have an occasional big week, but he'll be hard to trust as the team's third (or fourth?) receiver behind Wilson and Lazard (and Cobb?). He's never averaged more than 40.8 yards per game in his four seasons with Patrick Mahomes.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Tyler Conklin	40.4	449.3	3.4	85.53
C.J. Uzomah	17.7	191	1.6	37.55
Jeremy Ruckert	11.3	123.7	1	24.02
Kenny Yeboah	3.8	41.2	0.3	7.82

Tyler Conklin: Conklin followed up his breakout 2021 season (61/593/3, 87 targets) in Minnesota with nearly identical numbers (58/552/3, 87 targets) with the Jets last year. Given that the offense should be better in general in 2023, there's a chance that Conklin performs as a mid-tier TE2 once again.

Breece Hall: Before Hall tore his ACL, his NFL career was off to a great start. The rookie from Iowa State averaged 5.8 yards per carry and 11.5 yards per reception through seven games. His workload had jumped considerably in Weeks 4-6 (61 touches) from Weeks 1-3 (34). Who knows how good his rookie season would have been if the injury hadn't happened? There are lots of reasons for fantasy managers to be excited about Hall's long-term outlook, but it wouldn't be a shock if he starts the 2023 season slowly as he works his way back from injury. Clouding the outlook for the backfield was Dalvin Cook's visit at the end of July, even if there is "no timeline for a signing."

Michael Carter: Carter had double-digit touches in eight of the first nine games last season, but he had only 28 touches — 15 carries for 32 yards and 13 catches for 79 yards — over the final five games. Various other backs (Hall, James Robinson and Zonovan Knight) had games where they handled larger workloads than Carter last season and there is speculation that Carter could be the odd man out if the team signs Dalvin Cook.

Zonovan Knight: Knight wasn't active until Week 12, but he handled 98 touches (85/300/1 rushing and 13/100 receiving) over the final seven games of the season.

Israel Abanikanda: NFL.com's Lance Zierlein comped Abanikanda to Kansas City's Isiah Pacheco before the NFL Draft, although it would be unreasonable to expect a such a large rookie contribution from the fifth-round pick. That said, The Athletic's Zach Rosenblatt wrote after OTAs that Abanikanda "has the explosiveness and home-run ability to make an impact right away, and I think he will."

Alex Erickson	2.3	28.2	0.2	0	0	0	5.17

Mecole Hardman: Hardman has the potential to have an occasional big week, but he'll be hard to trust as the team's third receiver behind Wilson and Lazard. He's never averaged more than 40.8 yards per game in his four seasons with Patrick Mahomes.

Jeremy Ruckert	7.5	80.3	0.7	15.98
Zack Kuntz	2.3	30.4	0.3	5.99

C.J. Uzomah: After signing a free-agent deal with the Jets, Uzomah finished 2022 with a modest 21/232/2 stat line. Perhaps a new year with a new quarterback and offensive coordinator will be what Uzomah needs for a better season with Gang Green.

Jeremy Ruckert: The Athletic's Zach Rosenblatt called Ruckert "one of the biggest winners of OTAs." Meanwhile, coach Robert Saleh said that the third-round, second-year tight end "looks awesome."

New York Jets Fantasy Football Projections 2022

Our 2022 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2022 fantasy football projections for the New York Jets.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Zach Wilson	505.2	300.6	3435.4	19.7	13.89	33	156.8	1.27	211.74
Joe Flacco	68.9	42.7	475.4	2.82	1.58	6.2	13.6	0.12	29.22

Zach Wilson: The second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Wilson was a major disappointment as a rookie. The former BYU Cougar completed only 55.6% of his pass attempts, averaged 6.1 yards per attempt and threw more interceptions (11, 2.9%) than touchdowns (nine, 2.3%). On a positive note, the Jets used four picks in the first four rounds of this year's draft on offense. While it would be difficult to be much worse, how much of an improvement will we see from Wilson in his second season?

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Breece Hall	185.9	808.7	5.3	32.8	264	1.6	165.07
Michael Carter	136.3	586.1	3.41	38.8	305	1.8	139.77
Ty Johnson	19.8	84.2	0.45	5.8	45	0.3	20.32
Zonovan Knight	10.3	43.3	0.24	2.2	15.6	0.1	9.03

Breece Hall: As the focal point of Iowa State's offense, Hall rushed for 3,044 yards and 41 touchdowns while adding 59 receptions for 482 yards and five touchdowns over the past two seasons. Hall is a patient runner with outstanding vision and contact balance and he's a reliable receiver out of the backfield. Even if Michael Carter starts the season as the RB1, Hall should earn a larger share of the workload as the season progresses.

Michael Carter: One of the few bright spots in New York's offense last year, Carter turned his 183 touches as a fourth-round rookie into 964 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns. Even though Hall has the higher draft pedigree, Carter goes into his second season as the starter and as an undervalued option available many rounds later than Hall in drafts.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Elijah Moore	65.6	856.5	4.6	8.3	62.3	0.42	154.8
Garrett Wilson	52.2	680.5	3.8	6.2	40.3	0.31	122.84
Corey Davis	44.3	598.4	3.5	0	0	0	102.99
Braxton Berrios	26.9	332.4	1.8	7	48.3	0.46	65.08
Denzel Mims	2.4	33.2	0.2	0	0	0	5.72
Jeff Smith	2.1	27.4	0.2	0	0	0	4.99

Elijah Moore: Moore missed the final five games of 2021, but he had 34 catches for 459 yards and five touchdowns on 51 targets over his final six games played as a rookie. During that stretch, only Justin Jefferson scored more fantasy points than Moore, who was fifth on a per-game basis over that time period. The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt wrote early in camp that "Moore seems to have firmly established himself as this team's No. 1 receiver. He's in line for a big year."

Garrett Wilson: Wilson was my top-ranked receiver prospect in this year's draft class. Wilson has outstanding body control, ball skills and is dynamic after the catch.

Corey Davis: Davis had a breakout season in 2020 (65/984/5) that he parlayed into a three-year deal with the Jets. Missing roughly half of the season and plagued by poor quarterback play, Davis finished with 34/492/4 in nine games in his first season with the Jets. At this point, however, I'd prefer both Moore and Wilson over Davis in fantasy.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Tyler Conklin	31.1	336.3	2	61.18
C.J. Uzomah	29.7	318.7	1.9	58.12
Jeremy Ruckert	9.4	97.8	0.6	18.08

Tyler Conklin: Robert Saleh said last month (via NY Post's Brian Costello): "Conk is awesome. He's been fantastic for us. The whole [tight end] group really has been really good for us, but as far as he's concerned, just his ability on third down to create separation and win those one-on-one's and be a run blocker, he's an all-around tight end. He's been a pleasant surprise."

C.J. Uzomah: Uzomah set career highs in receptions (49), yards (493) and touchdowns (five) in his final season with the Bengals. Now with the Jets and in a less-potent offense, it's likely that his production declines year over year even if he leads the tight end group in snaps and production.

Breece Hall: As the focal point of Iowa State's offense, Hall rushed for 3,044 yards and 41 touchdowns while adding 59 receptions for 482 yards and five touchdowns over the past two seasons. Hall is a patient runner with outstanding vision and contact balance and he's a reliable receiver out of the backfield. Even though Michael Carter will remain involved as well, Hall should be drafted as an RB2 in fantasy drafts.

Michael Carter: Carter was one of the few bright spots in New York's offense last year, as he turned his 183 touches as a fourth-round rookie into 964 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns. With the team using the 36th overall pick on Hall, Carter becomes relegated to a change-of-pace role behind their new featured back, but he'll especially make an impact in the passing game.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: Cincinnati Bengals

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Cincinnati Bengals.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Joe Burrow	589.1	387.6	4241.5	25.33	7.66	65.7	246.4	4.6	307.9
Brandon Allen	41	25.8	280.9	1.46	1.07	4.4	7.7	0.02	15.83

Joe Burrow: Sustaining his season-ending knee injury in Week 11, the only quarterback to throw more pass attempts than Burrow (404, 40.4/G) through that point in the season was Tom Brady (433, 39.4/G). Burrow should rank near the top of the NFL in pass attempts in 2021. That volume makes last year's No. 1 overall pick a worthy back-end QB1 in drafts this summer.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Joe Mixon	273.6	1190.2	7.25	53.3	431.9	2.7	248.56

Chris Evans	25.2	107.1	0.57	11.4	97.2	0.5	32.55

Joe Mixon: Mixon appeared in only six games in 2020 and he has now missed multiple games in three of his four NFL seasons. That said, Mixon had a minimum of 19 touches in the six games in which he appeared in 2020. Through Week 6, Mixon had more carries (119) than all running backs not named Derrick Henry (123) and was top 10 among running backs in targets (26). With Giovani Bernard now in Tampa, Mixon should be even more involved as a receiver.

MORE: Joe Mixon 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Samaje Perine: Perine averaged 6.6 YPC last season for the Bengals and he slides in as the RB2 behind Mixon with Bernard no longer on the roster. Given Mixon's durability history, Perine will be one of the top handcuffs to target late whether your fantasy roster has Mixon or not.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Stanley Morgan	2.7	29.4	0.1	0	0	0	4.89

Tee Higgins: From Week 2 until Week 11 (Joe Burrow's knee injury), Higgins scored the 19th-most fantasy points (half-PPR scoring) amongst wide receivers. With the Bengals drafting Ja'Marr Chase over Penei Sewell, it took some steam out of Higgins' opportunity to build upon his strong rookie season. On the other hand, A.J. Green and his 104 targets (6.5/G) are no longer on the roster.

Ja'Marr Chase: Former college teammate Justin Jefferson dominated as a rookie in 2020. If Chase were draft-eligible last year, the 2019 Biletnikoff award winner would have been the first receiver off the board. While Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd will still see substantial (perhaps equal) targets as well, Chase, who has shown some struggles in camp and the preseason, should emerge eventually as the team's WR1.

Tyler Boyd: Boyd had just one catch for one yard in Weeks 15 and 17 -- he was out in Week 16 -- as he failed to extend his 1,000-yard streak to three seasons. Through Week 11 (when Joe Burrow tore his ACL), however, Boyd was averaging 71.0 yards per game, which put him on a 16-game pace of 1,136 yards. Even though the Bengals drafted Chase, a healthy Burrow keeps Boyd in the WR3 mix.

Auden Tate: Earlier this offseason, The Athletic's Jay Morrison noted the Bengals could use more four-WR sets in 2021 with what expects to be an improved offensive line and the quick processing skills of Joe Burrow. Even so, it's more likely to require an injury to one of the team's top three receivers for Tate to become useful in fantasy in 2021.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
C.J. Uzomah	31.8	318.8	2	59.78
Drew Sample	20.5	187.7	1.1	35.62
Mitchell Wilcox	2.1	18.1	0.1	3.46

C.J. Uzomah: Uzomah suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 2 last season, but The Athletic's Jay Morrison notes that offensive coordinator Brian Callahan thinks they team could have five players hit the 50-reception mark with Uzomah occupying one of those spots.

Drew Sample: Over 16 games last season, Sample had 40 catches for 349 yards and one touchdown. A healthy Uzomah knocks Sample back down to the TE2 spot on the depth chart.

MORE: Joe Mixon 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Samaje Perine: Perine averaged 6.6 YPC last season for the Bengals and he slides in as the RB2 behind Mixon with Bernard now longer on the roster. Given Mixon's durability history, Perine will be one of the top handcuffs to target late whether your fantasy roster has Mixon or not.

Joe Burrow: Sustaining his season-ending knee injury in Week 11, the only quarterback to throw more pass attempts than Burrow (404, 36.7/G) through that point in the season was Tom Brady (433, 36.1/G). Burrow should rank near the top of the NFL in pass attempts in 2021. That volume makes last year's No. 1 overall pick a worthy back-end QB1 in drafts this summer.

Mason Schreck	1	10.8	0.1	2.18

Drew Sample: C.J. Uzomah has been fully cleared from his torn Achilles. Over 16 games last season, Sample had 40 catches for 349 yards and one touchdown. With Ja'Marr Chase being added to the receiving corps and the possibility for more four- and even five-WR sets, the Sample/Uzomah duo are unlikely to be much of a factor in the receiving game.
