QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tom Brady | 623.9 | 413.3 | 4585.7 | 36.81 | 11.54 | 30.3 | 54.5 | 1.21 | 320.3 |
| Blaine Gabbert | 47 | 29.1 | 317.3 | 1.53 | 1.41 | 11.5 | 11.5 | 0.12 | 17.86 |
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 a top-three fantasy performance in 2021.
[Note: Brady, currently dealing with a personal matter, won't return to the team until after the second preseason game.]
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leonard Fournette | 246.4 | 1071.8 | 9.61 | 46.5 | 326 | 1.9 | 232.09 |
| Rachaad White | 52.2 | 224.5 | 1.17 | 18.8 | 144.6 | 1.2 | 60.53 |
| Ke'Shawn Vaughn | 48 | 211.2 | 1.2 | 12.2 | 95.6 | 0.7 | 48.18 |
| Giovani Bernard | 29.2 | 124.1 | 0.58 | 19.9 | 147.1 | 0.8 | 45.35 |
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
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Evans | 76.8 | 1078.7 | 8.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 197.87 |
| Chris Godwin | 78.1 | 956.1 | 6.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 174.86 |
| Julio Jones | 45.3 | 561.4 | 4.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 103.39 |
| Russell Gage | 47.3 | 546.7 | 4.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 103.52 |
| Breshad Perriman | 4.2 | 61.3 | 0.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 11.83 |
| Scotty Miller | 4.4 | 58.8 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 11.08 |
| Tyler Johnson | 4 | 46.6 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 9.06 |
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. Even though Godwin participated in practice for the first time at the beginning of the month, Todd Bowles has said that the team is "not getting our hopes up" as there's still a long way to go before returning to a full practice routine.
Julio Jones: Joining the Bucs on a one-year deal, Jones is coming off the worst statistical season (43.4 YPG and one touchdown over 10 games) of his career. Before last season, Jones had never averaged less than 73.8 YPG (his 2011 rookie numbers). A return to his Atlanta-level production would be unrealistic, but he should improve upon last year's career-low numbers as a part of Tampa's prolific passing offense.
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 (or fourth) in line for targets behind Evans and Godwin (and possibly Jones), Tom Brady threw a league-high 719 pass attempts last season, so there's plenty to go around.
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cameron Brate | 42 | 441.3 | 4.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 89.73 |
| Kyle Rudolph | 26.3 | 272.1 | 2.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 55.96 |
| Cade Otton | 13.5 | 137.3 | 1.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 30.08 |
| Ko Kieft | 3.1 | 29.4 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6.89 |
Cameron Brate: With Rob Gronkowski (55/802/6 in 2021) retiring and O.J. Howard (14/135/1) in Buffalo, Brate tops the tight end depth chart even if Kyle Rudolph operates as a 1B to Brate's 1A. 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.
