Mayfield has shown the ability to support multiple fantasy weapons (not named Odell Beckham Jr. It’s not being discussed enough that before Mayfield separated his shoulder in Week 6, he ranked sixth in yards per attempt (8.5) and seventh in aDOT (9.6).

The Panthers literally had the worst QB play last year across several metrics including EPA per dropback and success rate.īut with Baker Mayfield in Carolina, it’s an upgrade for all parties involved. He only finished as the WR19 last season in half-point scoring, as his QB play was graded out as the stone worst in the NFL, per PFF. Most wideouts that own this usage are no-doubt top-12 fantasy options, but Moore’s abysmal quarterback play continues to hold him back. He was just one of 11 WRs to run a route on at least 90% of their team’s dropbacks to go along with a top-three air yards share (36%) and seventh-ranked target rate per route run (25%). Moore’s talent or elite usage for the Carolina Panthers. Because Baltimore’s increase in passing was due out of necessity in 2021, I’d project it to regress closer to the 2019-2020 rate for this upcoming season. Andrews’ increase in route running was tied to the Ravens’ boosted pass-play rate (56%).įrom 2019-2020, Baltimore passed on fewer than 46% of their plays. His 623 routes run were 209 more than he had in 2020 and fueled the career year. However, be aware that even if Andrews does repeat his efforts as TE1, it may not be to the extent that it was in 2021. With Marquise Brown traded to the Cardinals, Andrews has solidified himself as the clear TE1 with a still unproven second-year wideout as his main competition for targets. He ran a route on 84% of offensive dropbacks, which also ranked first. The Baltimore Ravens’ fourth-year TE led the position with a 25% target share, 28% air yards share, and 17.5 fantasy points per game. Last year, Mark Andrews was the early-round tight end who drove rosters to fantasy championships. Only once did Lamb fail to score double-digit fantasy points in a game where he commanded fewer than six targets in 2021. His 21% target rate per route run bested anybody in Dallas last season.Īnd that means more fantasy production will be on its way. Lamb boasted just an 18% target share last season - which ranked outside the top 30 among all pass catchers.īut with the eighth-most vacated targets left to be distributed between Lamb, tight end Dalton Schultz, ACL-injury returning Michael Gallup, veteran James Washington, and third-round rookie pick Jalen Tolbert, I’d bet Lamb crests at least a 20% target share in 2022. The biggest issue with Lamb was that he never was seeing the requisite target volume in an offense that had a surplus of playmakers.

No more Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson can only spell great things for CeeDee Lamb in 2022. He wrapped a bow on the 2021 season as the RB3 in points per game and RB2 overall in half-point scoring. With such a secure role as a receiver out of the backfield and as a featured red-zone weapon in a high-powered offense, it’s hard to imagine a healthy Ekeler not returning at least top-five fantasy status in 2022. Ekeler’s 18 red-zone touchdowns and 63 red-zone touches ranked first and second respectively. His 13.9% target share and 70 receptions ranked second behind only Najee Harris.

At 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, Ekeler finished eighth in the NFL in total touches (276) and 14th in touches per game (17.2).īut the raw touches hardly showcase the fantasy value Ekeler possesses, because he often commands an extremely high share of high-value targets ie. Round 1, Pick 3: Austin Ekeler (RB – LAC)Īustin Ekeler isn’t used as a true three-down workhorse, but it’s hard to tell based on the actual amount of touches he sees in the Los Angeles Chargers’ offense.
