When it comes to fantasy football 2022 injuries, the NFL preseason has been relatively quiet, but there are still some relevant players who aren’t 100%.

Raiders tight end Darren Waller , is struggling with a hamstring injury and is also looking for a new contract, potentially becoming a player to avoid as you prepare for the 2022 Fantasy Football Draft.

As you begin your preparation for the 2022 Fantasy Football Draft, be sure to check out SportsLine’s tried-and-true 2022 Fantasy Football Cheat Sheets.
Last year, SportsLine’s model accurately predicted that Titans wide receiver Julio Jones was significantly overvalued. He was drafted in the fifth round on average, but SportsLine predicted he wasn’t even close to being a top-20 wide receiver. Jones ended up pulling off an incredibly disappointing stat line, catching 31 passes for 434 yards and a touchdown.
The same model has a proven track record in providing fantasy football advice, also identifying AJ Brown as a sleeper in 2020 and JuJu Smith-Schuster as a fantasy football bust last season. He also nailed Jonathan Taylor’s big season and was all over Jaylen Waddle to outplay his fantasy football ADP. Plus, he calls out former fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Anyone who bet on players like these ran their league title .
The model is powered by the same people who generated projections for all three major fantasy sites, and it beat the human experts last season when there was a big difference in rankings. Projections are updated several times a day, so you always get the best fantasy football tips.
Now SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest 2022 fantasy football rankings, along with numerous sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head over to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2022 Fantasy Football Busts
One of the 2022 fantasy football busts the model predicts: Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf. Week 2 of the preseason was supposed to be Drew Lock’s first as the presumptive starting quarterback, but he was forced to miss the game (COVID-19). Instead, the combination of Geno Smith and Jacob Eason combined to complete just half of their 53 total assists against the Bears.
If Metcalf hadn’t scored 12 touchdowns last season, he would have been widely considered a failure, as he played 10 games in which he finished with less than 60 receiving yards, but was drafted as the No. 6 receiver. of the table on average. Seattle also has uncertainty at running back, and questions all over the offense have the pattern projecting other receivers with lower Fantasy Football 2022 ADP like Rashod Bateman, Christian Kirk and Hunter Renfrow to be better options. .
Another bust that SportsLine’s 2022 Fantasy Football Rankings has identified: Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft was up for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors before a torn ACL ended his season after 10 games. He surprised many when he returned in Week 1 for the Bengals last year and led the NFL in completion percentage (70.4) and yards per attempt (8.9) while throwing for 4,611. yards and 34 touchdowns.
However, the Bengals had the advantage of playing against a last-place schedule in 2021, so a first-place schedule in 2022 will certainly be more taxing. Burrow also ranked 31st among NFL quarterbacks in pace of play (1.88 games per minute of possession) and was 24th in interceptions thrown (21). The model predicts a regression into the future of the unquestionably talented quarterback and ranks him QB13 despite being the sixth quarterback drafted on average.
