Ryan Tannehill490.4318.33604.420.1110.366.22782.81248.68
Malik Willis39.823.8276.61.471.4514.475.60.7225.92

Ryan Tannehill: Tannehill missed five games in 2022 and averaged fewer than 14 fantasy points per game for the season. Even though he was a fringe top-12 weekly quarterback in five of 12 games, he had only one 20-point performance (20.02, Week 11) all season. With the addition of DeAndre Hopkins to the receiving corps, Tannehill may turn out to be undervalued for those in 2-QB or Super Flex formats.

RUNNING BACKS

Derrick Henry2731187.610.2433.9275.61.5233.71

Julius Chestnut34.9143.10.844.634.90.226.34

Derrick Henry: The usual concerns — age, cumulative career workload, modest receiving numbers, etc. — apply to Henry, but he's guaranteed a massive workload, as long as he remains healthy. Henry set a career high in receptions (33) in 2022, but he actually averaged more receptions per game in 2021 (2.3) than 2022 (2.1). Despite the modest receiving totals, here are Henry's half-PPR scoring finishes on a points-per-game basis (min. 8G played) over the past four years: third in 2022 (17.9), first in 2021 (23.0), third in 2020 (20.2) and second (tied) in 2019 (19.0), respectively.

Tyjae Spears: The Titans used a top-100 (81st overall) on Spears, who was extremely productive for Tulane, and he's a worthwhile stash/handcuff late in drafts. Spears had an impressive preseason, ranking third in yards after contact per attempt (4.73) among running backs with at least 10 preseason carries, per PFF.

Colton Dowell2.123.30.10003.98
Kearis Jackson1.719.40.10003.39

DeAndre Hopkins: Hopkins has missed a total of 15 games over the past two seasons due to either injury or suspension, and he joins the run-first Titans after being released by the Cardinals this offseason. In his nine games played last season, however, he averaged 10.7 targets per game and a 7.1/79.7/0.3 stat line.

Treylon Burks: Burks had a modest 33 catches for 444 yards and a touchdown in 11 games as a rookie last season. ESPN's Turron Davenport noted earlier this summer that Burks had a "noticeably leaner build" this year and he's "playing at a different speed from his rookie season." While I project a considerable jump in production, the Hopkins' signing and a recent knee injury (although he recently returned to practice) temper expectations.

Chigoziem Okonkwo: Okonkwo finished second on the team in receiving yards last year to Robert Woods, who is no longer on the roster. The rookie ended the year with 32 receptions for 450 yards (14.1 Y/R) and three touchdowns. There is some breakout potential (albeit less following the DeAndre Hopkins signing) heading into the athletic (4.52 40-yard dash) tight end's second year. Among tight ends with 30-plus targets in 2022, Okonkwo led the position in YAC per reception (7.8) and yards per route run (2.61), per PFF stats.

Even though he was a fringe top-12 weekly quarterback in five of 12 games, he had only one 20-point performance (20.02, Week 11) all season.

If not, he may be undervalued for those in 2-QB or super flex formats.

Jonathan Ward13.254.10.291.511.70.19.67

Derrick Henry: There are certainly concerns — age, cumulative career workload, the team's offensive issues, etc. Even so, Henry has led the NFL in rush attempts in three of the past four seasons (including 349 in 2022) and he's guaranteed a massive workload, as long as he remains healthy. He set a career high in receptions (33) in 2022, but he actually averaged more receptions per game in 2021 (2.3) than 2022 (2.1).

Of course, it would be preferred for Henry to be more involved as a receiver, but his relative lack of involvement in the passing game has been an over-emphasized reason to avoid Henry (at least in half-PPR formats). Here is where Henry has finished on a points-per-game basis in half-PPR scoring over the past four years (min. 8G played): third in 2022 (17.9), first in 2021 (23.0), third in 2020 (20.2) and second (tied) in 2019 (19.0), respectively.

Ryan Tannehill: As disappointing of a year as it was for Tannehill, he still finished as fantasy's QB12 in 2021. Tannehill posted three-year worsts in TD% (4.0), INT% (2.6), Y/A (7.0) and passer rating (89.6), but he rushed for seven scores for a second consecutive season. Especially with the Titans trading away A.J. Brown, Tannehill is better viewed as a QB2 than a back-end QB1.

Julius Chestnut5.222.40.010.75.703.22

Derrick Henry: Henry has never had 20 receptions in a season and more involvement in the passing game is preferred, but he finished as a top-three fantasy running back in half-PPR formats in both 2019 and 2020. Even with his limited receiving role, he finished no worse than RB5 in full PPR formats in his past two full seasons. His dominance as a rusher (303/1,540/16 and 378/2,207/17, respectively) more than compensates for a relatively modest receiving role.

Through Week 8 last season, Henry rushed for 219/937/10, equivalent to a 465/1,991/21 full-season pace, and was fantasy's RB1 across all scoring formats. One could argue that missing the final nine regular-season games last year boosts his outlook for 2022 given the heavy workloads he has shouldered over the past few seasons.

Cody Hollister1.4190.10003.2

Robert Woods: Woods missed the second half of the 2021 season with a torn ACL, but he had more than 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of the previous three seasons. Over those three most recent full seasons, Woods has finished as fantasy's WR13 (2020), WR17 (2019) and WR10 (2018), respectively, in half-PPR formats. Now in Tennessee and returning from an ACL tear, a top-20 finish may not be in the cards for Woods, but I think there's a good chance that he turns out to be undervalued compared to his current ADP.

Treylon Burks: While he's even drawn some pre-draft comparisons to A.J. Brown, Burks is obviously a downgrade from Tennessee's former stud receiver in the immediate term. While he's not yet a polished route-runner, Burks, who has said that he models his game after Deebo Samuel, has the versatility to make an impact in a variety of ways. Consistency may be elusive as a rookie, but he should have a few big games in 2022.

Austin Hooper: Hooper's efficiency during two seasons as a Brown (9.3 Y/R, 6.0 Y/T and 64.3% catch rate) dropped considerably from his four years in Atlanta (10.5 Y/R, 8.1 Y/T and 77.3% catch rate). Not surprisingly, Hooper finished outside the top-20 fantasy tight ends in each of the past two seasons after a pair of top-10 fantasy seasons in 2018-19. Given that the Titans operate a run-heavy but still TE-friendly offense, Hooper offers some upside, especially for those in deeper TE-premium leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs 2022 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 4.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, we will update our Kansas City Chiefs Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Kansas City Chiefs from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

For a more inclusive lists of mock drafts for the Kansas City Chiefs, check out our Kansas City Chiefs Mock Draft Database.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Chiefs:

SI - Kevin Hanson (2/17)

30. Daxton Hill, S, Michigan

Safety Tyrann Mathieu wants to re-sign with the Chiefs, but four of the team's top six defensive backs in terms of snaps played are currently unsigned for 2022. The brother of Ravens running back Justice Hill and a former five-star recruit out of Oklahoma, Hill will test off the charts next month in Indy and has the versatility to be utilized in a variety of alignments.

Yahoo! Sports - Eric Edholm (2/17)

30. Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

This would be a coup for the Chiefs, who still could use a third wheel in the passing game. Burks might not run a speedy 40-yard dash, which could hurt his standing, but he offers great versatility and yet won't be expected to catch 75 passes as a rookie. Burks' size, toughness and tracking ability could be lethal in this offense.

Draft Wire - Luke Easterling (2/17)

30. Drake London, WR, USC

Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are still a dominant pair of pass-catchers, but the Chiefs shouldn't pass up the chance to give Patrick Mahomes yet another dangerous weapon. London's combination of size, length, athleticism and physicality would bring another dimension to an already explosive offense.

ESPN - Todd McShay (2/16)

30. Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State

Kansas City could fixate on defense, considering it allowed 5.9 yards per play in 2021 (30th). The pass-rush needs attention, and Penn State defensive end Arnold Ebiketie would fit the bill there. Defensive backs Tyrann Mathieu and Charvarius Ward are currently without a contract, so UTSA cornerback Tariq Woolen might be in play. And there will be more turnover on the offensive line, too, even if the Chiefs re-sign Orlando Brown Jr.

So a receiver? The Chiefs will still have Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman and Travis Kelce next year, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes thrives on distributing the football. Byron Pringle and Demarcus Robinson are headed toward free agency. Dotson is lightning quick in and out of his breaks, and despite a 5-foot-11 frame, he can pluck on the run and produce after the catch. He'd be a great possession receiver for Mahomes after catching 91 passes in 2021, including at least five in 11 of 12 games. Dotson would be the sixth receiver here, and it'd be the third straight class of at least five first-rounders. That has never been done.

Fox Sports - Rob Rang (2/16)

30. Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida

As long as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense are lighting up the scoreboard, Kansas City is going to want to keep adding playmaking defenders. Tall, long and fast, Elam possesses the traits preferred in Kansas City's press-heavy scheme, and he's battle-tested, projecting as an immediate contributor.

USA Today - Nate Davis (2/15)

30. Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson

Given how often the ball is -- and likely will remain -- in the air in the AFC West, you can never have enough good corners. And the Chiefs may be in desperate need of one if Charvarius Ward and/or Mike Hughes sign elsewhere this offseason.

The Ringer - Danny Kelly (2/15)

30. DeMarvin Leal, IDL, Texas A&M

With Melvin Ingram, Jarran Reed, Alex Okafor, and Derrick Nnadi all headed to free agency this spring, the Chiefs need reinforcements on the defensive line. Leal does just that by offering positional versatility to play on the edge or rush from the inside depending on the look of Kansas City's defense.

The Draft Scout - Matt Miller (2/14)

30. Daxton Hill, S, Michigan

There is a long list of pending free agents in Kansas City but none is bigger than safety Tyrann Mathieu. If the leader of the defense leaves for a bigger payday, the Chiefs are in desperate need of a new safety. In a heavy three-safety defense, they are with or without Mathieu. Daxton Hill's athleticism and range should be attractive to those fans tired of seeing Daniel Sorensen in coverage.

NFL.com - Chad Reuter (2/14)

30. Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida

If the Chiefs are able to re-sign safety Tyrann Mathieu, they could look to replace potential free-agent losses Charvarius Ward and Mike Hughes with a competitive, physical corner like Elam, whose uncle, Matt, was picked 32nd overall by the Ravens in 2013.

PFF - Mike Renner (2/14)

30. Travon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

Walker is still a project as a pass-rusher, but he can come in and be a plus run defender from the rip. He has a similar physical profile to someone like Rashan Gary coming out, and he is similarly unpolished.

Green Bay Packers 2022 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 4.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, we will update our Green Bay Packers Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Green Bay Packers from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

For a more inclusive lists of mock drafts for the Green Bay Packers, check out our Green Bay Packers Mock Draft Database.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Packers:

SI - Kevin Hanson (2/17)

28. Devonte Wyatt, IDL, Georgia

Will Aaron Rodgers be under center for the Packers in 2022? Will Davante Adams and/or Marquez Valdes-Scantling be back? The answers to those questions could change the direction of this pick in future iterations of my mock, but for now, the front office gets some help for Kenny Clark. Like several other key contributors to Georgia's loaded defense, Wyatt's stats won't wow anyone. That said, he has elite quickness and The Athletic's Bruce Feldman labeled Wyatt as the team's "biggest Freak." After generating plenty of buzz at the Senior Bowl, Wyatt should continue that positive momentum with elite testing numbers at the combine.

Yahoo! Sports - Eric Edholm (2/17)

28. Logan Hall, EDGE, Houston

The Packers always seem to go just a bit off-radar with their first-round selections. Yet taking Hall here wouldn't necessarily be a reach, as he's steadily raised his stock over the past year and could be a perfect post for their odd front.

Draft Wire - Luke Easterling (2/17)

28. Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

If Davante Adams heads elsewhere in free agency, the Packers will need a new No. 1 target, regardless of who is throwing the passes. Williams would be long gone if not for a torn ACL in the national title game, but once he's back to full strength, he should prove to be a huge steal this late.

ESPN - Todd McShay (2/16)

28. Devonte Wyatt, IDL, Georgia

This is a pure value pick for Green Bay. The first look was to wide receiver, with Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling perhaps signing elsewhere this March. Five are already off the board, leaving Penn State's Jahan Dotson as the top remaining. Alabama's Jameson Williams could be a really fun selection that would excite Aaron Rodgers if the QB stays in Green Bay, but he just went off the board. And with the Packers taking Amari Rodgers last April to play out of the slot, Dotson might not make much sense. Even if Adams doesn't return, the free-agent receiver class is high end, and I think the Packers could address the position there.

So turning our attention to defense, how about Wyatt, a Senior Bowl standout? He has tons of upper-body strength and is always moving his feet. The Packers allowed 4.7 yards per carry last season (30th in the NFL), and opponents had the seventh-highest QBR (51.5). Wyatt would help in both areas and give Kenny Clark a running mate in the middle of the defense. Also: This makes it four Georgia defenders in Round 1. Miami in 2004 and Florida State in 2006 are the only other schools to have that many on the defensive side of the ball.

Fox Sports - Rob Rang (2/16)

28. Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

For years, Packers fans (not to mention their quarterback) have clamored for Green Bay to add a dynamic receiver to pair with star Davante Adams. With Adams now set for free agency, the Packers face the possibility of having to replace him, rather than complementing the five-time Pro Bowler.

USA Today - Nate Davis (2/15)

28. Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State

The Pack are another team potentially in major flux, the focus currently centered on the futures of QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Davante Adams, whose contract is expiring. TE Robert Tonyan and WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling are also pending free agents, so pretty likely Rodgers (or his replacement) will need reinforcements in the passing game. McBride might be that guy, the 2021 All-American and Mackey Award winner as college football's top tight end in 2021 and an exceptional possession receiver (91 catches for 1,125 yards last season) who's also the increasingly rare dual-threat tight end able to serve as an effective blocker.

The Ringer - Danny Kelly (2/15)

28. Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia

De'Vondre Campbell was a nice surprise for the Packers in 2021 but is slated to be a free agent. The team needs depth and talent at the linebacker spot whether they re-sign Campbell or not. Dean can be a spark plug for the Green Bay defense as a player who flies around in coverage and slips through gaps as a blitzer.

The Draft Scout - Matt Miller (2/14)

28. Boye Mafe, EDGE, Minnesota

Wide receiver would be a great pick for the Packers, but we've seen that show before. Instead, look for the Green Bay Packers to continue building their defense through the early rounds of the draft. Boye Mafe had a great Senior Bowl and showed the speed and power to place himself into the first round.

NFL.com - Chad Reuter (2/14)

TRADE - 21. Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, Florida State

With Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith looming as potential cap casualties, the Packers might need a powerful edge player to complement Rashan Gary. Johnson fits that bill. Trading up for him will cost Green Bay two fourth-round picks (the team could pick up a compensatory fourth-rounder for the loss of Corey Linsley).

PFF - Mike Renner (2/14)

28. Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

Burks can be a better version of Allen Lazard as the Packers' No. 2 wide receiver. He's big enough to get involved as a blocker, which Matt LaFleur loves, and he has a speed element to his game that the Packers may miss if Marquez Valdes-Scantling walks in free agency.

Cleveland Browns 2022 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 4.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, we will update our Cleveland Browns Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Cleveland Browns from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Browns:

SI - Kevin Hanson (2/17)

13. Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State

The Browns cut Odell Beckham Jr. midseason, Rashard Higgins will be a free agent next month and Jarvis Landry may be a salary-cap casualty. If Landry is released, it would save the Browns over $15 million toward the cap. This year's draft class may lack an elite top-five talent like Ja'Marr Chase, but it's still one of the stronger position groups in the draft, and the Browns could have their choice at a position of need. My top-ranked receiver in this class, Wilson has outstanding body control and run-after-catch ability.

Yahoo! Sports - Eric Edholm (2/17)

13. Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, Florida State

There's a debate about whether the Browns' analytics-driven front office should consider taking a receiver here and doing what it takes to give Baker Mayfield every chance to succeed. But there's also a need for more pass-rush help alongside Myles Garrett. Johnson was the best player we saw at the Senior Bowl and could give the Browns' front some more bite.

Draft Wire - Luke Easterling (2/17)

13. Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

After losing Odell Beckham Jr., the Browns simply don't have a big-play threat at receiver who can stretch the field and scare opposing defenses. Burks has an impressive blend of size, athleticism and physicality, which makes him the most complete pass-catcher in this draft, and the perfect fit here.

ESPN - Todd McShay (2/16)

13. Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State

Whether or not Baker Mayfield is still the Browns' plan at quarterback, the offense is begging for some pass-catchers. Donovan Peoples-Jones led the team with just 597 receiving yards in 2021. Jarvis Landry is turning 30 next season and has one year left on his deal. Tight end David Njoku and receiver Rashard Higgins are free agents. But Wilson would immediately give Mayfield a playmaker. His best trait is body control, as he can adjust to passes in the air, but he is also a sudden route runner with fantastic speed and acceleration.

Fox Sports - Rob Rang (2/16)

13. Drake London, WR, USC

This one makes too much sense to not happen, should the draft play out like this. The Browns feature one of the most dominant running games in the NFL. A big, sure-handed bully of a receiver such as London to feast off of play-action could be all that Cleveland is missing on offense.

USA Today - Nate Davis (2/15)

13. Drake London, WR, USC

What better way to assist QB Baker Mayfield and supplement a 27th-ranked passing offense than adding a Mike Evans-type player? London (6-5, 210 pounds) had seven TD grabs in eight games last season.

The Ringer - Danny Kelly (2/15)

13. Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State

After releasing Odell Beckham Jr. midway through the 2021 season, the Browns need to restock the shelves at the receiver position. Wilson is a big-play creator who can operate at all three levels of the field and provide a much-needed boost to a receiver corps that still has question marks, especially with Jarvis Landry slated to hit free agency next offseason.

The Draft Scout - Matt Miller (2/14)

13. Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

The first wide receiver comes off the board and gives Cleveland--and more importantly Baker Mayfield--a big (6'3", 225 lbs) target that has run-after-catch ability. Burks' tape in 2021 was elite and has pushed him to the top of wide receiver boards around the league.

NFL.com - Chad Reuter (2/14)

13. Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

Burks is a big-bodied receiver (listed at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds) with excellent open-field agility that Baker Mayfield will lean on as the former Razorbacks star acclimates to the pro game.

PFF - Mike Renner (2/14)

13. Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

The Browns don't just need a receiver, they need a receiver with speed. They wanted Anthony Schwartz to be that, but he's still exceedingly raw as a true receiver. Williams looked a lot more polished after transferring from Ohio State to Alabama, where he went for 1,561 yards and 15 scores.

Green Bay Packers 2022 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 3.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, we will update our Green Bay Packers Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Green Bay Packers from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

For a more inclusive lists of mock drafts for the Green Bay Packers, check out our Green Bay Packers Mock Draft Database.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Packers:

CBS Sports - Chris Trapasso (1/20)

32. Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State

Surprise! McBride is an athletic, pass-catching monster at the tight end position who'd be a welcomed addition in Green Bay, regardless of who the team's quarterback is next year.

ESPN - Mel Kiper (1/19)

32. Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State

Is Aaron Rodgers staying in Green Bay or not? That's the ominous cloud that will hang over the team's offseason. Either way, I don't see it letting superstar wideout Davante Adams leave in free agency, so let's move to the other top need on offense. Robert Tonyan snagged 11 touchdowns in 2020, but he tore his ACL in October and is a free agent in the offseason. The Packers could bring him back on a short-term deal, or they could find a long-term solution with McBride, the draft's best tight end. He caught 90 passes for 1,121 yards in 2021, and he's also a good blocker.

The Athletic - Dane Brugler (1/19)

32. DeMarvin Leal, IDL, Texas A&M

The Packers love toolsy front-seven defenders, and Leal is exactly that. He isn't yet the sum of his parts, which is why he could still be available at this point in the first round. But at 6-4 and 290 pounds, Leal can line up anywhere on the defensive line and has the traits to develop into a productive starter.

PFF - Austin Gayle (1/17)

32. Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State

Green Bay is the current betting favorite to win the Super Bowl, and that's only because Aaron Rodgers decided to look past his relationship with the front office and chase a ring with Davante Adams & Co. General manager Brian Gutekunst should double down on keeping Rodgers happy and attack the wide receiver position at the back end of Round 1.

Penn State's Jahan Dotson can win on the outside and from the slot. He earned 75.0-plus PFF grades in 2020 and 2021 and currently ranks 30th on PFF's draft board.

Baltimore Sun - C.J. Doon (1/14)

32. Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State

Depending on what happens with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, there aren't a ton of holes on the Packers' roster. The 6-3, 256-pound Ebiketie, who recorded eight sacks and 52 pressures this season after transferring from Temple, would provide solid depth if Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith don't stick around in Green Bay.

Athlon Sports - Bryan Fischer (1/13)

32. David Bell, WR, Purdue

Assuming he's still around, Aaron Rodgers finally gets some first-round draft help in the form of the playmaking Bell. His ability to make incredible catches and haul in difficult throws make him a nice insurance policy as much as a potential complement to Davante Adams should the latter return in 2022.

San Diego Union Tribune - Eddie Brown (1/13)

32. David Bell, WR, Purdue

It's very likely Davante Adams doesn't stick around if Aaron Rodgers is elsewhere. Bell has gotten lost in the shuffle with the top available wide receivers, but his route-running is advanced and his YAC ability should make him an impact player early in his career. He definitely deserves first-round consideration.

USA Today - Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz (1/12)

32. Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

If Green Bay is able to complete its reconciliation with Aaron Rodgers, what better way to celebrate the repaired relationship than by granting him his long-awaited first-round receiver? With his go-up-and-get-it play style and strong hands, Burks could endear himself quickly to Rodgers as a jump-ball target and complement to Davante Adams, who also has to address his future in Green Bay amid his expiring contract.

For The Win - Charles McDonald (1/12)

32. Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC

The Packers don't have many needs, but they could use another young, cheap contract along their pass rushing front.

The Draft Network - Joe Marino (1/10)

32. Daniel Fa'alele, OT, Minnesota

The depth of the Packers' offensive line has been stressed across the last few seasons and the team has had to say goodbye to a few long-term fixtures. The need to replenish the group remains, regardless of who is under center in 2022 and beyond.

Daniel Faalele is a massive man with rare mobility for his size. He could immediately stabilize the right tackle position and strengthen the nucleus of young blockers in the mix for the Packers to improve the starting unit--and while doing so, make the group deeper.
