Fantasy Football Player Rankings
September 8, 2022
Welcome to the 2022 Fantasy Football Season! Fantasy starts tonight with the Bills VS. Rams. These are Ben Garza’s and David Vallejo’s top 5 predictions for each position at the start of the season. We each have years of experience in Fantasy so we know a thing or two about what to look for in player rankings. We will keep updating throughout the season. Here are our rankings for season openers:
- QB) Top 5
- Josh Allen- He was good for the past two seasons and there is no reason he should be bad this year.
- Justin Herbert- After a breakout season last year, he will have another great year with a great offense.
- Lamar Jackson- Jackson will have a very good year with rushing and touchdowns to produce a lot of points.
- Jalen Hurts- With A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith on his team, he is going to have a great season.
- Kyler Murray- He is doing better than Patrick Mahomes due to the fact that Mahomes lost Tyreek Hill; Kyler Murray gained Marquise Brown and is going to get D Hop (DeAndre Hopkins) in a couple of weeks.
RB)
- Jonathan Taylor- After a breakout season, he will do even better this season.
- Austin Ekeler- He will have a good year with his QB and is good with the pass rush.
- Derrick Henry-Although he had an injury last year and a worse O-Line he will do good this year because he is Derrick Henry.
- Najee Harris- He will get the ball a lot this year due to Ben Roethlisberger leaving and with Juju Smith-Schuster gone he will get a massive amount of both production and points this year.
- Alvin Kamara- Kamara is usually good and I see him getting in good work this year with the Saints’ new team.
WR)
- Cooper Kupp- With an all-star season last year, Cooper Kupp will not do as well as last year, but he will still be the best WR.
- Devante Adams- He is with his college QB so he will do good even if the QB is a small downgrade.
- Jamar Chase- With one of the best rookie seasons last year, Jamar Chase will do even better this year.
- Justin Jefferson- He is going to get even more targets this year because Adam Thielen is getting older and the team wants Justin Jefferson to get the ball more.
- Ceedee Lamb-He will be a top 5 receiver due to the fact that Amari Cooper is gone. This year is his year.
TE)
- Mark Andrews- With Lamar Jackson back and Marquise Brown gone, Mark Andrews will get a lot more play than last year and be even better than before.
- Travis Kelce- He is a close second because with Tyreek Hill gone he will be Patrick Mahomes’ number one target with great production
- Darren Waller- Coming off an injury, Darren Waller is still a great TE and will most likely be Derek Carr’s number two option.
- Dalton Schultz- Just like Darren Waller, he will be the second option for Dak Prescott since Amari Cooper is gone.
- Kyle Pitts- He would be higher if and only if he had a better team surrounding him because with the lack of talent on his team he is always targeted by the defense.
D/ST)
- Cowboys- Their defense is stacked this year with the return of Trevon Diggs and Micah Parsons.
- Saints- It’s the Saints; they are always good on defense.
- Bills- The Bills had one of the best defenses last year and they will have it again this year.
- Colts- They will have a good defensive team.
- Packers- They have a good defensive team this year because each year their defense produces numbers with tackles and sacks.
K)
- Justin Tucker- He is the best kicker in the league, setting league records like in the previous season.
- Nick Folk- He had an outstanding season last year with the same team and he will do it again.
- Daniel Carlson- His team will reach the end zone more often, leaving him with more points.
- Brandon McManus- His production rate will increase since his team got better with Russel Wilson on it.
- Greg Joseph- Offense-heavy team will take him a long way.
