Returning to Dallas was a best-case outcomes as he has to prove his health and upside again. With Tyreek Hill now on board to compromise Waddles overall target share and potentially stunt his growth downfield, Waddle has added volatility as a WR2 option, especially in non-PPR formats. It was clear that the Rams had a role for Jefferson this year as a vertical target in the offense, but he may be pressed to even further expand his game in Year 3 if injuries to both Woods and Odell Beckham prevent each from returning to the team or limit their availability. Fuller was only able to land a one-year deal last offseason coming off his best NFL season, so we are likely looking at a prove-it situation in free agency this season. The Rams were the top passing offense in the league by expected points added (237.3) compared to the Titans ranking 18th (54.4). Yes, there are some concerns. Nelson Agholor (29.3). Even with the loss of Brady, Evans should be in line for a significant target bump while we inherently know a Bruce Arians-led passing game will remain aggressive downfield. Christian Watson (23.6) Green (34.1) Toney was pressed into action due to injuries in Week 4, where he caught 6-of-7 targets for 78 yards, forcing five missed tackles. TreQuan Smith (26.7) A solid contributor, Boyds fantasy ceiling is now tied to either Chase or Higgins missing time. If you are new to how I do tiers, I make my dynasty tiers based on a blend of age, fantasy performance, career arc, team situation, and fantasy archetype. Evans could find himself once again asked to do significant lifting for Tampa Bay in 2021 with Brown already gone, Chris Godwins status to be determined, and Rob Gronkowski a question mark that we believe is doubtful to return. still averaged 14.0 yards per catch, 9.0 yards per target, and was 25th in yards per route run (1.84), so he can still play. Finishing the season as the RB5, Conner ended the year with 18 total TDs and averaged 14.7 fantasy PPG. Simi Fehoko (24.8) Shepard has been a WR4 or better for fantasy in all six seasons, but he now missed 20 games the past three seasons. Quarterbacks, running backs, and tight ends can be found in those links while full overall dynasty rankings can be found here. There will surely be a lot of conversation around. Peoples-Jones has now averaged a robust 18.8 yards per catch on an average depth of target of 16.7 yards downfield. Arizona has changed his role frequently during his tenure, but he will hit free agency here after posting a career-high 63 catches and 809 yards out of the slot in 2021. . Khalil Shakir (22.6) Tym razem dolnolskie targi tatuau odbd si w Hali Stulecia. Godwin tore his ACL back on December 19th, placing his early-season availability in jeopardy. Outside of Brandin Cooks - who demanded a 25% target share last year - there won't be much target competition in Houston. There also could be tier movement for some players here based on how free agency and the draft plays out, so check back in as news develops this offseason. Woods has been a player that has made a career of outproducing expectations, but hitting age 30, coming off a major injury, and trading a great passing game for a limited one where he will clearly be behind A.J. The next quarterback remains to be determined in Pittsburgh, but there is a non-zero outcome where Johnson can still improve in terms of target quality. Lockett was the leagues best deep-ball specialist last season, scoring a league-high 133.3 fantasy points on throws 15 yards or further downfield. Improvement from Zach Wilson can lift the tide for Davis, who has been the WR32 and WR36 the past two seasons on a per-game basis, but the emergence of Elijah Moore is another potential roadblock in getting to Davis as a consistent fantasy play. He joins a Tampa Bay offense led by Tom Brady, that has run the most passing plays (1,402) in the NFL over the past two seasons. That drop-off is a signal that Brown is not the type of wideout that can overcome and elevate a poor offense, but this move also pairs him with a quarterback that can has shown massive success downfield to start his career. Josh Palmer (22.9) There is still a lot of unknown surrounding, after he left the Falcons after appearing in five games this past season due to mental health issues and potentially not wanting to be a part of the team in the first place while he been suspended for the entire 2022 season due to gambling on games while away from the team. The next week, he then caught 10-of-13 targets for 189 yards and it appeared we were about to experience something Odell Beckham-esque for the remainder of the season. Brown was fourth among all wide receivers in the league in target rate per route run (29.1%), but once again missed time (four games) while being saddled in a low-volume passing offense. These wideouts are in the same age bracket as the previous tier, but are your more volatile, splash-play-dependent wideouts over stacking target volume. this offseason and what to do with him. Kevin OConnell, who comes from an offensive tree that has lived in 11 personnel. Collins had 33 receptions on 61 targets for 446 receiving yards and a touchdown as a rookie. A solid contributor, Boyds fantasy ceiling is now tied to either Chase or Higgins missing time. Braxton Berrios (26.9) Tyler Johnson (24.0) Collins likely won't take the league by storm in 2022, but there's still reason to believe he can take a sizable step forward. Diggs also managed a career-high 10 touchdowns while averaging 9.7 targets per game (seventh). Erik Ezuknma (22.6) Samuel has now played two-thirds of the snaps in 29 career games, finishing as a WR11 in 11 of those games and averaging 17.7 points per game, scoring single-digit points in just four of those games. Stefon Diggs (28.8). more than doubled his rookie season production in 2021, catching 88-of-129 targets for 1,082 yards and six touchdowns. Thielen will turn 32 this August, leaving those gamers still holding him to hopefully make one more touchdown-heavy drive into the sunset. Mooney has limitations in becoming a full-fledged alpha (he was dead last in contested catch rate among qualifying receivers in 2021), but theres an easy path to seeing Mooney smoke everyone in this tier in the short-term target volume. Tylan Wallace (23.3) With Tyreek Hill now on board to compromise Waddles overall target share and potentially stunt his growth downfield, Waddle has added volatility as a WR2 option, especially in non-PPR formats. Nico Collins (23.5) Not only did it already exist last season but given the Bears roster and not having a first-round pick in the draft, Mooney could be looking at being the de facto WR1 for at least another season. We now have a 50-game sample with Sutton over his career, producing seven WR1 scoring weeks with another five weeks as a WR2 and four as a WR3. After receiving over 25% of the Buffalo targets in each of his first two seasons with the Bills, Diggs is a strong bet to once again be peppered with opportunity in 2022 attached to Josh Allen. Jamison Crowder (29.2) Improvement from Zach Wilson can lift the tide for Davis, who has been the WR32 and WR36 the past two seasons on a per-game basis, but the emergence of Elijah Moore is another potential roadblock in getting to Davis as a consistent fantasy play. Smith cleared six targets in a game just six times as rookie, posting nine weeks as the WR52 or lower as a byproduct. Emmanuel Sanders (35.5) Tim Patrick (28.8) There is still a lot of unknown surrounding Calvin Ridley after he left the Falcons after appearing in five games this past season due to mental health issues and potentially not wanting to be a part of the team in the first place while he been suspended for the entire 2022 season due to gambling on games while away from the team. Jalen Tolbert (23.5) I am more than skeptical on Moores ceiling from a fantasy stance, but Moore still carries plenty of pedigree and raft capital to have increased usage in year two and find his way as a full-PPR contributor. Fantasy Football Analyst MattyDaddy breaks down SLEEPER Houston Texans WR Nico Collins in Dynasty football moving forward In 2022 In Fantasy Football & Beyon. Shi Smith (23.8) A.J. We have been chasing the opportunity for Michael Gallup to develop as a 1B type of a wideout but are once again stunted in that development after he played in just nine games in 2021, while suffering a torn ACL in early January as he hits free agency. Coming off a foot injury that he sustained in Week 13, he is coming into the 2023 season with a new quarterback and a lack of competition in the wide receiver room. Boyds 5.9 targets per game were his lowest since 2017 while his receiving yardage per game has declined from the previous season in each of the past three seasons. . Tee Higgins (23.6). Rashod Bateman gave us a couple of hot spots as a rookie, but ultimately his playing time never consistently materialized while he was still extremely behind both Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown on the pecking order. He secured 17-of-41 (41.5%), which was 27th out of 35 wide receivers with 20 or more contested targets. 3 wide receiver job, and that role could have under-appreciated value given that the Texans don't have a proven tight end and Cooks and Cobbs are perpetual injury concerns. The Giants have no choice contractually to go back to Golladay as a passing game asset and there is nowhere to go but up from last year in terms of quarterback play and offensive climate. Woods still only managed to top 70 yards in two of his nine games. We still need Zach Wilson to make a jump in play to aid Moore breaking out as Moore and Wilson connected on just 19-of-42 targets (45.2%) while Moore secured 24-of-35 targets (68.6%) from other New York passers. Michael Thomas has appeared in just seven games the past two seasons while missing all of 2021, leaving him as an out-of-sight, out-of-mind fantasy entity while he will be coming back to a team without Drew Brees or Sean Payton. Calvin Ridley (27.7). He fell in the draft due to medical concerns, Robby Anderson was extended, he played poorly and lost playing time as the season went on, and the offensive coordinator that he also had in college and likely vouched for his addition in the draft was fired.

The one thing he did not roll over from his rookie season was finding the end zone. The 2021 season was an outright disaster for Allen Robinson. 37.7% of Claypools targets last season were contested catches, which was sixth in the league. Godwin will get another season with Tom Brady, but will also be coming off an ACL injury that ended his season in mid-December, pushing his recovery up against the start of the 2022 season. Zay Jones (27.4) Nico Collins doesn't look fast or shifty, but he's going to play on the outside. 29 since he entered the league and only three caught more than his 12 scores in 2021, but Metcalf saw a significant dip in other areas last season, dropping from 5.2 receptions per game down to 4.4 while his 81.4 yards per game in 2020 sagged down to 56.9 yards per game last season. Samuel produced a 77-1,405-6 line through the air to go along with 365 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground as he went from being forced to operating as the alpha receiver in the passing game early in the year with George Kittle out of the lineup and Brandon Aiyuk in the doghouse, to chipping in out of the backfield as the season pressed on due to the exposed lack of talented depth of the San Francisco backfield last season. opened the year strong with 16 catches and 19 targets through two games, but once again was unable to stay on the field, missing 10 games. If you are not in a full-PPR league, you can prioritize this archetype over the previous group while this group has more options that can get by on inefficiency and spike touchdown seasons. Just 17.5% of Thomass career targets have come from passers other than Brees, but Thomas has remained a hyper-efficient target no matter who the quarterback has been. Williams started off the season looking as if he would be the crown jewel of fantasy drafts before slowly reverting to his boom-or-bust nature as the season progressed, but he did finally flash that ceiling many believed existed. has never been flashy or an elite touchdown scorer (and he seemingly always goes through a meandering patch each season), but he is steady as they come in full-PPR formats, catching over 6.0 receptions per game in each of his past six seasons in which he has played multiple games. Through 11 games, St. Brown had 39 catches for 352 yards and zero touchdowns. Michael Pittman more than doubled his rookie season production in 2021, catching 88-of-129 targets for 1,082 yards and six touchdowns. The question remains on if his playing time elevation was out of necessity, or he made enough true growth in Year 2 that the organization noticed and are comfortable moving forward with as their secondary option behind Stefon Diggs, because we want attachment to Josh Allen and Davis has shown enough scoring upside to at minimal be a boom-or-bust touchdown-dependent WR3 if afforded that opportunity. Michael Thomas (29.5) Jerry Jeudy (23.4). After a breakout in 2020, Robby Anderson was unable to survive the offensive climate in Carolina last season. In a year where the WR rookie class made headlines, Collins flew under the radar and quietly flashed with 33 receptions and 446 yards. Mooney has sell-high qualities, but I believe his stock will rise even further during the 2022 season unless the Bears make a splash addition of receiver with their hands seemingly tied. Jaelon Darden (23.6) While his numbers were only slightly better in 2022, he put up those numbers in four fewer games. Terry McLaurin (27.0) James Washington (26.4) Quez Watkins (24.2) He found the end zone a total of 16 times, with just three coming from inside of 10 yards. But the upside remains intact with the addition of Russell Wilson to recapture his offseason value from last year. Rams also were an aggressive offense near the end zone with, ranking fourth in red zone passing rate (59.2%), while second in pass rate inside of the 10-yard line (58.4%), and first in pass rate inside of the 5-yard line (65.9%). Samuel produced a 77-1,405-6 line through the air to go along with 365 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground as he went from being forced to operating as the alpha receiver in the passing game early in the year with George Kittle out of the lineup and Brandon Aiyuk in the doghouse, to chipping in out of the backfield as the season pressed on due to the exposed lack of talented depth of the San Francisco backfield last season. Dyami Brown (22.8) Schematically, Woods is one of the best run blocking wide receivers in the NFL, if not the best, which was surely appealing to the Titans as a fit in their offense. Russell Gage is coming off two productive seasons with the Falcons. That said, he is coming off a career-high eight touchdowns. Team W L T PCT PF PA; Jacksonville: 9: 8: 0.529: 404: . all things he needs to overcome an unflattering list of recent non-early-declare, non-Power 5 wideouts selected in the second round, Kirk has a path to be the target leader, but also in a muddled offense that has a number if questions, while Kirk himself has struggled when tasked to carry a passing game, 2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings: Standard, SuperFlex, Super Bowl 57 DFS Showdown: Eagles vs Chiefs, Super Bowl 57 Fantasy Football Worksheet: Eagles vs Chiefs, Eagles vs Chiefs, Super Bowl LVII: Everything To Get You Ready.

He finished as the WR29 in points per game (13.5), his lowest rate since 2017. The albeit tiny sample was excitement enough to see the potential in his ability while the addition of Brian Daboll will stir up more offseason excitement in harnessing that ability. Your scope of duties: Creating a vision, strategy and operational goals for the subordinate business unit responsible for the R&D area The majority of the wideouts here have been contingent for fantasy based on another player on their roster missing time. Corey Davis (27.6) Dynasty (TV Series 2017-2022) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more. Joining the Browns, Cooper is set up to be a lead wide receiver while the Browns also just acquired Deshaun Watson. Will Fuller also had a lost season in 2021, playing just 65 snaps due to a finger injury that was still an issue earlier this month. After posting 7.9 catches for 95.9 yards per game in his first season in Buffalo, Diggs made averaging 6.1 receptions for 72.1 yards per game feel somewhat disappointing to gamers despite still ranking 10th and 12th at his position in those categories. Nico Collins' ADP for 2022 With an ADP of 216, Collins is coming off the board as the WR76 in PPR formats, placing him in around the 19th round in 12-team fantasy leagues. WanDale Robinson (21.7) Cooks and Mills connected on 71.1% of their targets with five touchdowns and a 101.6 rating while Cooks and Tyrod Taylor connected on 58.3% with one score and an 83.0 rating. Palmer still will hold value playing as the WR3 attached to Justin Herbert even with Williams returning, but the immediate upside is tied in his role extending, leaving him as a bench option. No wide receiver has had a season like the one. By the time Ridley can play again, he will still have some meat left on the bone for his career, but will also be a soon-to-be 29-year old player with just one season reaching 900 yards that. 18 total TDs and averaged 14.7 fantasy PPG doubled his rookie season finding..., which was 27th out of 35 wide receivers with 20 or contested.
