Fantasy football rankings 2022: Model lists NFL sleepers, breakouts, busts, top 300

We’re still five months away from the start of the 2022 NFL schedule. Still, savvy owners are already working on their 2022 Fantasy football rankings ahead of Thursday’s 2022 NFL Draft. Former Cardinals receiver Christian Kirk has never had a 1,000-yard season in his career, but that didn’t stop the Jacksonville Jaguars from giving him a four-year, $72 million contract to play with former No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence. Should he be one of your 2022 Fantasy football sleepers to target?

Can Kirk now generate enough production to warrant being one of the 10 highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL and, if so, where should you target him during your 2022 Fantasy football draft prep? A reliable set of Fantasy football rankings 2022 can help you answer that question and also identify the 2022 Fantasy football breakouts, sleepers, and busts you need to be aware of.

Top 2022 Fantasy football picks

The model is extremely high on Packers running back A.J. Dillon. Green Bay selected Dillon in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft to add depth to its backfield and provide insurance with Aaron Jones approaching the end of his rookie contract. Jones went on to sign a four-year, $48 million extension last offseason, but that didn’t stop Dillon from having his role expanded. The six-foot, 247-pound powerhouse wound up leading the Packers in carries (187), rushing yards (803) and rushing touchdowns (five). He also made dramatic improvements as a receiver out of the backfield.

In 2020, he caught just two passes for 21 yards, but last year he caught 34 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns. Dillon and Jones are now in a position to share the workload more evenly and Dillon will have plenty to prove as he enters the final two years of his own rookie deal.

Another shocker: Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady struggles, even though he led the league in passing yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43) last season. Brady flirted with retirement in the offseason before deciding to return for the 2022 NFL season. 

The 44-year-old signal caller is coming back for a 23rd season in the NFL, but SportsLine’s model sees Brady falling victim to Father Time. Brady has thrown double-digit interceptions in three of his last four seasons, and he threw one touchdown or none in three of his final six games last season. SportsLine’s model is fading Brady in 2022, ranking him well outside the top 75 overall and below quarterbacks like Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Russell Wilson.

The model has also made the call on where Chris Godwin and Odell Beckham Jr. rank coming off ACL injuries, and it also has one second-year running back ranked over 30 spots ahead of Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley. You can only see the latest Fantasy football rankings 2022 here.
