QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Patrick Mahomes	614	410.8	4727.8	35.92	11.97	57.7	288.5	2.31	351.56
Blaine Gabbert	40.9	25.6	282.2	1.55	1.19	6.4	17.6	0.13	17.65

Patrick Mahomes: Despite losing Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins, Mahomes didn't miss a beat and won his second NFL MVP award in 2022. He threw for 5,250 yards and 41 touchdowns, both of which led the NFL last season. While he doesn't have as much rushing upside as Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts, he has more than 300 rushing yards in three consecutive seasons and multiple rushing scores in five consecutive seasons.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Isiah Pacheco	187.9	845.6	6.11	20.1	157.8	0.9	152.45
Jerick McKinnon	71.5	293.2	1.54	44.7	338.2	2.2	107.93
Clyde Edwards-Helaire	88.4	380.1	2.3	25.5	195.4	1.5	93.1

Jerick McKinnon: McKinnon had nearly as many targets (71) as carries (72) last season, and he was extremely effective as a receiver. He ended the year with 56 catches for 512 yards (9.1 Y/R) and nine of his 10 touchdowns were receiving scores. While I have projected McKinnon for considerably fewer touchdowns in 2023, he could be a solid bye-week fill-in for fantasy squads, at a minimum.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Skyy Moore	57.6	739	5.5	3.2	25.6	0.16	139.22
Kadarius Toney	50.4	596.2	4.3	8.5	75.2	0.55	121.44
Marquez Valdes-Scantling	38	618.7	4.5	0	0	0	107.87
Rashee Rice	44.5	546.1	4.1	0	0	0	101.46

Richie James	8.7	97.7	0.7	0	0	0	18.32
Justin Watson	5.5	77.7	0.7	0	0	0	14.72

Skyy Moore: Marquez Valdez-Scantling will have some spike weeks, but good luck predicting when those will occur, which make him a better option in best ball formats. Meanwhile, the variance of potential outcomes for Kadarius Toney may make fantasy managers hesitant on draft day. While he had a quiet rookie season (22/250/0 on 33 targets), Moore has emerged as the most likely candidate to lead Kansas City's receiving corps in fantasy production.

Kadarius Toney: The range of potential outcomes is wide enough that you may have seen Toney appear on both breakout and bust lists at some point heading into the 2023 season. Earlier this offseason, offensive coordinator Matt Nagy talked up Toney, who many had figured would step into the WR1 role vacated by JuJu Smith-Schuster. If he can (get and) stay healthy, it's certainly possible that he earns the second-most targets on the team behind Travis Kelce although it seems even more likely that it's someone else (e.g., Skyy Moore).

Rashee Rice: Even though though Skyy Moore had a limited role as a receiver in his rookie season, the draft capital used (55th overall pick) and strong preseason makes Rice worth being a target later in drafts. That said, his ADP has continued to rise.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Travis Kelce	99.9	1174.8	9.4	2.6	11.7	0.26	226.56
Noah Gray	21.8	240.5	1.9	0.9	4.5	0.07	47.22
Blake Bell	8.7	95.2	0.7	0	0	0	18.07

Travis Kelce: While age (turns 34 in October) is still a potential concern, he's shown no signs of slowing down after posting his seventh consecutive 1,000-yard season. Without Tyreek Hill, he posted either his best or second-best numbers across the board — 152 targets, 110 receptions, 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Absolutely dominant compared to other tight ends, Kelce (15.4) averaged more than double the half-PPR fantasy points per game than the last TE1 (Dalton Schultz, TE12, 7.6 PPG). In fact, if Kelce were a wide receiver, he'd rank ahead of all but five wide receivers in fantasy PPG last season.

Deneric Prince	39.3	171	0.98	8.1	65.1	0.4	35.94

Isiah Pacheco: Pacheco generated some buzz last August as a seventh-round rookie, and then he delivered for fantasy managers who drafted the sleeper. He finished his inaugural season with 170 carries for 830 yards (4.9 YPC) and five touchdowns and added 13 catches for 130 yards (10.0 Y/R). Pacheco enters 2023 atop the depth chart and he'll have a chance to improve upon his rookie numbers, but there are reports that the Chiefs could be interested in Josh Jacobs if the Raiders rescind their franchise tag. In addition, Pacheco (shoulder) is still not cleared for contact.

Jerick McKinnon: McKinnon had nearly as many targets (71) as carries (72) last season, and he was extremely effective as a receiver. He ended the year with 56 catches for 512 yards (9.1 Y/R) and nine of his 10 touchdowns were receiving scores. While I have projected McKinnon for considerably fewer touchdowns in 2023, he should be a solid bye-week fill-in for fantasy squads, at a minimum.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Justin Watson	6.5	92.7	0.8	0	0	0	17.32
Justyn Ross	3.7	50.1	0.5	0	0	0	9.86

Kadarius Toney: With JuJu Smith-Schuster no longer on the roster, Toney is the favorite to earn the largest share of non-Travis Kelce targets. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy has talked up Toney, who has plenty of upside if he can both stay (after he gets) healthy and reach his full potential as the WR1 in this offense. Toney is a player who you may see on plenty of preseason breakout (and maybe even some bust) lists going into your draft(s).

Skyy Moore: Marquez Valdez-Scantling will have some big games, but good luck predicting when those will occur (outside of best ball formats). Given the variance of potential outcomes with Toney, taking a late-round shot on someone like Moore (KC's 2022 second-round pick) and/or Rashee Rice (KC's 2023 second-round pick) is a decent strategy to get more exposure to Kansas City's high-powered offense.

Kadarius Toney: With JuJu Smith-Schuster no longer on the roster, Toney will compete with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore and rookie Rashee Rice for non-Travis Kelce targets. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy recently said now that Toney has learned the ins and outs of the Chiefs offense after a midseason trade in 2022, "it's exciting now for us to be able to take that to Year 2 and build that relationship with Pat (Mahomes). He's super talented with the football in his hands, and he's been that way his entire life in his football career." Toney will be a popular name on breakout lists in 2023.

Kansas City Chiefs 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 Kansas City Chiefs.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Patrick Mahomes	612.9	405.4	4750	33.71	11.65	57.4	287	1.87	341.46
Chad Henne	46.1	30	308.9	1.61	0.69	6.4	6.4	0.06	18.42

Patrick Mahomes: Mahomes has been a top-four fantasy quarterback lock, when healthy. During his four seasons as a starter, he has finished as fantasy's QB1, QB7 (missed multiple games), QB4 and QB4, respectively. In four seasons as a starter, Mahomes has a 6.5 TD%, 1.6 INT% and 8.1 Y/A with a 17-game pace of 5,129 passing yards and 41.4 touchdowns. Losing Tyreek Hill will have an impact, but Mahomes should remain a top-four option.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Clyde Edwards-Helaire	150.1	660.4	4.65	40.7	298.5	1.9	155.54
Ronald Jones	106.3	462.4	3.45	17	126.5	0.8	92.89
Jerick McKinnon	72.3	310.9	1.88	27	220.1	1.4	86.28
Isiah Pacheco	12.8	55.7	0.31	5.4	43	0.3	16.23
Michael Burton	5.1	16.6	0.2	3.5	27.8	0.2	8.59

Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Through two seasons, Edwards-Helaire has missed a total of 10 games including seven last season. The Chiefs signed Ronald Jones II this offseason and re-signed Jerick McKinnon, who handled double-digit carries in all three of the team's playoff games this past season. While the presence of RoJo and McKinnon may frustrate those that roster CEH, his ADP provides a reasonable draft-day cost to get exposure to the top back of one of the league's most potent offenses.

Ronald Jones: Jones' numbers in 2021 were (more than) halved from the prior season. Last season, Jones had only 111 touches for 492 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns. Perhaps a change of scenery will serve him well, but he'll be competing with (and appears to be behind) Edwards-Helaire and McKinnon for snaps.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
JuJu Smith-Schuster	67.9	804.4	6.3	2.6	14.6	0.13	154.43
Skyy Moore	55.3	708.2	4.8	3.8	21.9	0.19	130.6
Mecole Hardman	47.9	657.7	4.3	8.5	51	0.34	122.66
Marquez Valdes-Scantling	37.4	607.1	4.1	0	0	0	104.01
Justin Watson	13.5	169.5	1.1	0	0	0	30.3

JuJu Smith-Schuster: Smith-Schuster missed 12 games last season and he's only averaged 8.6 and 6.2 yards per reception and target, respectively, over the past two seasons combined. While there's little chance that he posts a line similar to his sophomore campaign (111/1,426/7, 2018), he has an excellent chance to bounce back as the WR1 in Kansas City's high-powered offense.

Skyy Moore: Moore had a 95/1,292/10 line and PFF credited Moore with 26 broken tackles after the catch, which led FBS wide receivers. The former WMU Bronco should earn a more prominent role as the season progresses.

Mecole Hardman: Hardman set career highs in targets (83), receptions (59) and yards (693) last season, but he also set career lows in touchdowns (two) and Y/R (11.7). The speedy former second-round pick has an opportunity to build upon those numbers with Tyreek Hill in Miami, but he'll be competing with newcomers Smith-Schuster, Moore and Marquez Valdes-Scantling for targets.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: A boom-or-bust type deep threat, Valdes-Scantling exceeded 20 receiving yards in fewer games (five) than he didn't (six games) in 2021. MVS's history of up-and-down performances is unlikely to change, which makes him a better option in best ball formats than regular season-long re-draft leagues.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Travis Kelce	98	1153.4	8.3	214.14
Noah Gray	9.8	108.8	0.7	19.98
Jody Fortson	8.1	88.5	0.7	17.1
Blake Bell	3.9	45.5	0.4	8.9

Travis Kelce: In a down year, Kelce finished with 92 catches for 1,125 yards and nine touchdowns. The 32-year-old tight end now has six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with more than 90 catches in four straight. He's been either TE1 or TE2 for six consecutive seasons and he may even see a bump in target share with Tyreek Hill now in South Florida.

While there's little chance that he posts a line similar to his sophomore campaign (111/1,426/7, 2018), he has an excellent chance to bounce back as the likely WR1 in Kansas City's high-powered offense.

Skyy Moore: Converting to receiver based on WMU team needs, Moore led the Broncos in both receptions (51) and yards (802) as a true freshman in 2019. Last season, he had a 95/1,292/10 line and PFF credited Moore with 26 broken tackles after the catch, which led FBS wide receivers. There is a pathway to Moore being the team's most productive wide receiver as a rookie.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: Green Bay Packers

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

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Green Bay Packers.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Aaron Rodgers	568.7	378.2	4407.4	33.27	6.54	40.2	160.8	1.91	323.84
Jordan Love	36.3	22	259.5	1.49	1.09	13.4	33.5	0.13	18.29

Aaron Rodgers: While "his future [was] in Jeopardy," the offseason drama between Rodgers and the Packers front office is now fortunately behind us (at least until next offseason). The reigning and three-time MVP, Rodgers led the NFL in completion percentage (70.7%), passing touchdowns (48, 9.1%) and passer rating (121.5) last season. All of those were either career highs or the second-best of his Hall-of-Famer career. That said, it would be unrealistic to expect him to duplicate last year's 9.1 TD%, nearly double his rate from 2019 (4.6%) and much higher than his career average (6.3%).

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Aaron Jones	218.8	1028.4	9.63	57.2	494.7	3.4	259.09
A.J. Dillon	140.7	619.1	5.84	18.6	158.7	1.2	129.32
Kylin Hill	22.3	95.9	0.5	2.4	18.7	0.1	16.26

Aaron Jones: One year after leading the NFL in touchdowns (19, 2019), Jones averaged a career-high 5.89 yards per touch for the league's top-scoring offense. Through four NFL seasons, Jones has averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry in three of them. Even though he missed two games and scored eight fewer touchdowns in 2020, he has finished as a top-five fantasy running back in consecutive seasons.

A.J. Dillon: With 21/124/2 against the Titans in Week 16, fantasy managers got a glimpse of what Dillon could do in a lead-back role. With Aaron Jones re-upping with the Packers, however, that won't happen as long as Jones is on the field. Unlike Jamaal Williams, who's now in Detroit, Dillon isn't much of a receiver out of the backfield, but his upside is through the roof if Jones were to miss any time.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Davante Adams	109.5	1351.1	11.3	0	0	0	257.66
Randall Cobb	50.6	588	3.9	2	11.8	0.04	108.92
Allen Lazard	39.4	534.4	3.6	3.3	28.1	0.1	98.15
Marquez Valdes-Scantling	30	490	3.6	2.2	13	0.06	87.26
Amari Rodgers	21	233.3	1.3	3.6	23.4	0.07	44.39
Malik Taylor	1.8	21	0.2	0	0	0	4.2

Davante Adams: Not only did Adams miss two games in 2020, but he has missed multiple games in three of his past four seasons. Even so, the seven-year veteran led the NFL in receiving touchdowns (18) and yards per game (98.1) and also set a career high in receptions (115). With double-digit touchdowns in four of five seasons, Adams has a total of 58 scores in 71 games over that span. With Aaron Rodgers still playing at an MVP level, Adams moves back into the WR1 spot with the Rodgers drama behind us.

Randall Cobb: Naturally, Cobb is excited to reunite with Rodgers and the Packers. In his previous three seasons in Green Bay, however, Cobb averaged only 46.9 (2016), 43.5 (2017) and 42.6 (2018), respectively. That said, he's likely to rank second behind Adams among the team's receivers in target share.

Allen Lazard: Even if Lazard emerges as the team's second-most productive fantasy receiver after Davante Adams, he's unlikely to be a consistent fantasy performer.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: A big play waiting to happen, Valdes-Scantling led the NFL in Y/R (20.9) last season and had a career high in yards (690) and touchdowns (six). On the other hand, MVS had five games with no catches and two games with only one catch despite Rodgers playing at an MVP level. Fantasy managers should expect some boom and bust weeks from MVS.

Amari Rodgers: Earlier this offseason, The Athletic's Matt Schneidman dubbed Rodgers as the team's breakout candidate for 2021. Coincidentally, Tee Martin (Rodgers' father) coached former (and again current) Packer receiver Randall Cobb at Kentucky. With Cobb returning to Green Bay, that almost certainly postpones that breakout until 2022.

Robert Tonyan: Entering 2020 with only 14 career receptions, Tonyan nearly scored as many touchdowns (12 counting the playoffs) as he had career receptions prior to last season. While teammate Davante Adams led the NFL with 18 touchdown receptions, Tonyan's 11 regular-season scores tied a position high with Travis Kelce.

Dexter Williams	2.2	9.4	0.06	1	7	0.1	3.1

A.J. Dillon: With 21/124/2 against the Titans in Week 16, fantasy managers got a glimpse of what Dillon could do in a lead-back role. With Aaron Jones re-upping with the Packers, however, that won't happen as long as Jones is on the field. Unlike Jamaal Williams, who's now in Detroit, Dillon isn't much of a receiver out of the backfield, but if his upside is through the roof if Jones were to miss any time.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Randall Cobb	47.6	555.4	3.7	2	11.8	0.04	102.96

Devin Funchess	4.2	56	0.5	0	0	0	10.7
Malik Taylor	0.8	9.3	0.1	0	0	0	1.93

Allen Lazard: After Adams, there are a number of receivers that could emerge as the team's second-most productive fantasy wide receiver. Unfortunately, Lazard (or whomever performs as the team's WR2) is unlikely to be a consistent fantasy performer.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: A big play waiting to happen, Valdes-Scantling led the NFL in Y/R (20.9) last season and had a career high in yards (690) and touchdowns (six). MVS had five games with no catches and two games with only one catch despite Rodgers playing at an MVP level. Fantasy managers should expect more week-to-week inconsistency from MVS, but he's certain to have a couple of big games in 2021.

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

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Green Bay Packers.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Aaron Rodgers	568.7	378.2	4435.9	33.27	5.69	40.2	160.8	1.91	326.68
Jordan Love	36.3	22	259.5	1.49	1.09	13.4	33.5	0.13	18.29

Aaron Rodgers: While "his future [was] in Jeopardy," the offseason drama between Rodgers and the Packers front office is now fortunately behind us. The reigning and three-time MVP, Rodgers led the NFL in completion percentage (70.7%), passing touchdowns (48, 9.1%) and passer rating (121.5) last season. All of those were either career highs or the second-best of his Hall-of-Famer career.

RUNNING BACKS

Aaron Jones	223.3	1049.5	9.83	58.4	511.8	3.5	265.31

Kylin Hill	2.2	9.5	0.05	1	7	0.1	3.05

Aaron Jones: One year after leading the NFL in touchdowns (19, 2019), Jones averaged a career-high 5.89 yards per touch for the league's top-scoring offense. Even though he missed two games and scored eight fewer touchdowns in 2020, he has finished as a top-five fantasy running back in consecutive seasons.

Malik Taylor	0.8	9.4	0.1	0	0	0	1.94

Randall Cobb: Naturally, Cobb is excited to reunite with Rodgers and the Packers.

Amari Rodgers: The Athletic's Matt Schneidman dubbed Rodgers as the team's breakout candidate for 2021. Coincidentally, Tee Martin (Rodgers' father) coached former (and again current) Packer receiver Randall Cobb at Kentucky.

Green Bay Packers 2020 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2020 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2020 fantasy football projections for the Green Bay Packers.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Aaron Rodgers	530.5	348.8	3952.2	26.26	5.04	43.5	182.7	1.74	281.76
The days of Aaron Rodgers being a perennial top-two performer are over. Since taking over from Brett Favre in 2008, Rodgers has finished as the QB1 or QB2 in seven of his first eight full seasons. In his two most recent campaigns, however, the future first-ballot HOFer has finished as fantasy's QB6 and QB9, respectively. In a draft loaded with wide receiver talent, the Packers brass failed to add any help for Rodgers and free-agent addition Devin Funchess has opted opt due to COVID-19 concerns.
Jordan Love	30.9	18.8	222.5	1.31	1.05	4.1	13.9	0.06	13.79

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Aaron Jones	205.2	933.7	8.21	42.4	356.2	2.12	190.97
Missing four games apiece in his first two seasons, Jones played a full 16-game slate and delivered for fantasy owners as only Christian McCaffrey scored more fantasy points at the position in 2019. While Jamaal Williams remained involved, Jones racked up 1,558 scrimmage yards and scored a whopping 19 total touchdowns. Instead of drafting help for Aaron Rodgers and the passing offense, the Packers invested a high pick (second-rounder) in a 247-pound running back that will likely steal a few (especially valuable goal-line) carries from Jones.
Jamaal Williams	74.6	313.3	1.31	27.4	208.2	1.78	70.69
Williams has averaged only 4.67 yards per touch over his three-year career. While he played just 35% of Green Bay's offensive snaps last season, Williams finished as a top-36 fantasy running back (flex range) in 2019.
A.J. Dillon	80.8	351.5	3.64	6.4	43.5	0.13	62.12
Jones finished as fantasy's RB2 last season and is clearly the RB to own in Green Bay. The unexpected use of a second-round pick on Dillon, however, could lead to a bigger role than most would expect although the pick was more likely looking ahead to 2021 as both Jones and Williams are free agents after this season.
Tyler Ervin	4.1	17.2	0.08	1	6.7	0.02	2.99

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Davante Adams	98.4	1215.2	9.35	0	0	0	177.62
Missing four games due to a toe injury, Adams still averaged the sixth-most fantasy points per game as Aaron Rodgers' go-to receiver in 2019. While he scored only five touchdowns in 2019, Adams had double-digit touchdowns in each of the three previous seasons and has a league-high 40 receiving touchdowns over the past four seasons.
Allen Lazard	56.4	724.7	4.51	0	0	0	99.53
With Devin Funchess opting out of the 2020 season, it boosts the outlook for Lazard, who finished with 35 catches for 477 yards and three touchdowns in 2019.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling	33.7	497.1	2.36	2.1	13.7	0.04	65.48
Valdes-Scantling got off to a good start in 2019 with 21/416/2 through the first seven weeks of the season. After that point, however, MVS had a total of 36 yards over the final nine regular-season games with a catch rate of 26.3% (five catches on 19 targets).
Equanimeous St. Brown	26.3	353.7	1.97	0	0	0	47.19
Malik Taylor	3.3	41.3	0.24	0	0	0	5.57

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jace Sternberger	31.3	338	2.5	0	0	0	48.8
Not targeted in the regular season, Sternberger had three catches for 15 yards and a touchdown in two playoff appearances. With Jimmy Graham now in Chicago, last year's 75th-overall pick will have an opportunity to make a much larger impact in 2020. That said, he may start slowly after spending a couple of weeks on the reserve/COVID-19 list this summer.
Robert Tonyan	15.5	172.8	1.24	0	0	0	24.72
Marcedes Lewis	11.6	125.3	0.58	0	0	0	16.01
Josiah Deguara	10.9	113.4	0.65	0	0	0	15.24
