There's no question Gordon is on the back nine of his career, but six straight seasons with at least eight rushing scores is rare air. -- Mike Reiss, Injuries have limited him for stretches over his seven-year career, but he hasn't missed a practice in camp while developing a quick rapport with Jones. Olave could lead the team in targets. Chase Edmonds is going to be a big beneficiary of Hill and Waddle. Davenport had offseason surgery on his right shoulder and also underwent surgery to amputate part of his left pinky, so moving forward from those things will be key. -- Matt Bowen, This offseason, the Ravens improved their offensive line to further protect Jackson and solidify their running game. It's the highest bar to clear for a team with title expectations. The chemistry he has built with Justin Fields has consistently been on display throughout the offseason and only projects to increase as he becomes one of the quarterback's top options in 2022. Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Cole Kmet will join the second tier of great tight ends in 2022. 2 target for Josh Allen and the Bills from the start. Producing consistent WR3 numbers in 2022 might be a stretch, but with Mayfield's deep-ball ability, he should see an increase in volume and opportunity as a potential No. It seems likely that Lock will find the field at some point this season. He will immediately join Lamar Jackson and Hurts as the best rushing QBs. 1 receiver, and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with him." The idea of this exercise is to evaluate not only players but our user drafting patterns, and my decision to fade the talented sophomore is based on the latter. -- Weinfuss, Describe the QB situation in three words: Time to win, Murray is coming off signing a mega extension this offseason that'll keep him in Arizona through the 2028 season, but it's time for Murray to show why he was worth $230.5 million and win a playoff game for the first time in his career. Will Tony Pollard take over for Ezekiel Elliott in Dallas? Expect him to be in the Giants' three-receiver sets and he could see a boost in volume if others miss time. Mills will continue to develop and open some eyes this season. So, who has the best shot at significantly outperforming their draft cost? The only question is whether his great training camp translates to the regular season. Tristan H. Cockcroft: Irv Smith Jr. And while playing on a limited snap share, Davis ranks top five in the NFL in total end zone targets. And the Seahawks seem likely to be drafting a QB early next April. Field Yates: AJ Dillon. He is coming off a rookie season in which he recorded five sacks in his first 11 games before a shoulder injury limited his effectiveness. Lets not forget that Davis should expect a heavy dose of red zone looks with his bigger-bodied frame. In his first year, he backed up Carson Wentz and took over the QB1 role to end the year. Gilmore will turn 32 on Sept. 19, but so far, he doesn't look his age. Every year, Garoppolo leads or is top-three in passing yards that come after the catch, meaning he makes quick, short throws and the receivers then get to work. He had his best year when Calais Campbell and Yannick Ngakoue were with him.

He flashed his upside last season when he scored over 20 fantasy points in less than a half, coming in for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo. -- Eric Moody. With schemed fronts and twists/stunts, Lawson has the power and closing speed to win matchups. If Jones' injury lingers throughout the season, the Dolphins' pass defense could become a major issue. With both being able to beat defenders downfield and after the catch, teams are going to have to play the Dolphins deeper than in the past. Etienne has RB1 upside right now, but he's going in flex range. Bold prediction for 2022: Pickens will lead all rookies in TD catches. -- Teicher, Hardman spent his first three seasons with the Chiefs in Tyreek Hill's considerable shadow, which can at least partly explain his inconsistent production since being drafted in the second round in 2019. Joe Kaiser: Jerry Jeudy On a team with Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, don't be surprised if it's Aiyuk who leads the team in receptions and receiving yards. Draft a league now and start fresh with a 0-0 record and a shortened schedule. Adebo looks like he has grown by leaps and bounds this preseason, and with Roby likely taking the nickel slot once occupied by C.J. -- Bowen, Waller missed most of the second half of training camp with what was described as a hamstring issue, even as rumors floated that the 2020 Pro Bowl tight end was "holding in," waiting for a contract extension. Kenneth Gainwell ran well in the preseason, while Miles Sanders continues to miss time due to injury. -- Newton, Fantasy breakout candidate: Robbie Anderson, WR, In 2020, Anderson's first season with Rhule and the Panthers, he caught 95 passes and topped 1,000 yards receiving. With limitations at the quarterback position and two downhill backs, Seattle is going to pound the ball between the tackles. Gabriel Davis (WR BUF) Thanks to the experts for sharing their advice!

Simmons caught fire last season, posting a career-high 8.5 sacks in the regular season and three of the Titans' nine sacks in their divisional playoff loss to the Bengals. He broke a finger again this summer, continuing a troubling injury trend. Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Cam Akers wasnt particularly effective during the Rams Super Bowl run last season, but head coach Sean McVays willingness to make Akers the lead back so soon after his return from an Achilles tear bodes well for his 2022 usage. -- Thiry. -- Eric Moody, The Titans have won at least nine games in each of Mike Vrabel's four years at the helm. That was the game where the world learned the name Gabriel Davis, but this season will be the year he becomes a household name. Granted, the Steelers have an uncertain QB . In McDaniels' schemed pass game, Carr will be set up to attack open coverage voids and cut it loose on deep ball throws. 2022 NFL Draft: Day 1 fantasy football recap. Gabriel Davis, WR, Buffalo Bills (Bye Week: 7) Davis is on so many of these "breakout stars" lists that expectations for the Bills wide receiver are going to be . -- Thiry, Fantasy breakout candidate: Gerald Everett, TE, He didn't boom in his 2021 reunion with Seahawks OC Shane Waldron as much as many had hoped, though he did pull off a career effort (48 receptions, 478 yards, four touchdowns). Inside the Lions' facility, his growing popularity has earned the nickname "Rodrigo," and he has become a star on HBO's "Hard Knocks." How will that impact his play -- and that of the defense -- when he does return? Obviously, I can play with Cobby [Randall Cobb] in my sleep, and when he's healthy, he's a premier slot receiver in the league, [and] I feel better with Sammy." Sure, he hasn't done so much in his NFL career, but last season he finished inside the top four in completion percentage and yards per attempt on throws of at least 20 air yards. And we know the pass-catching traits are there to see the ball in Chicago's new offensive system with quarterback Justin Fields entering his second pro season. 2 wide receiver during the last five weeks of 2021, when the former Michigan Wolverine averaged six targets per contest and had two games with at least 65 yards and a score. It's the anticipated red zone usage, however, that puts the third-year tight end in the mix for a potential breakout season. Bold prediction for 2022: Smith-Schuster will have more than 100 receptions. Cappa was the marquee addition who earned nearly as much in guaranteed money ($11 million) as the other two new starters on the offensive line -- center Ted Karras and right tackle La'el Collins ($6 million each) -- combined. Ja'Marr Chase. Eric Moody: Christian Kirk, Jacksonville Jaguars Considering that -- along with a subpar Pittsburgh offensive line that ranked 31st in pass block win rate and a subpar defense -- you should take the Under -- Eric Moody. -- Davenport, Contract-year player: Jeffery Simmons, DT, The Titans picked up Simmons' fifth-year option, but a player of his caliber should not be playing on a $10.7 million salary in 2023, considering that lesser interior defensive linemen are making upward of $20 million per year. -- Bowen, Hurst is a fluid tight end who should give the Bengals a great receiving option as teams look to stop Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase. He fell to a position where he could easily lead all rookies in touches. With the pocket poise and mechanics to produce in coach Arthur Smith's offense, the rookie out of Cincinnati gets the nod much earlier than expected. Kenny Pickett proved he's not only a capable backup -- he might have played himself into a starting job earlier than the Steelers anticipated. -- Pryor, Pickens will be an instant playmaker for the offense. His skill set allows him to break away from defensive backs and linebackers, and his lack of touchdowns last season feels like an aberration. -- Eric Moody, This is not a strong team. Kyle Soppe: Jaylen Waddle -- Liz Loza, This is their time. Bold prediction for 2022: Miami will trade tight end Mike Gesicki before the November deadline. The season will be a success if second-year QB Zach Wilson makes a leap. Davis brings a ton of upside in that role. -- Getzenberg, Fantasy breakout candidate: WR Gabe Davis, With more anticipated volume in one of the league's top offenses, Davis has serious breakout potential as a No. He'll be a fairly polarizing player heading into 2022, and Moore could be a big reason for Wilson's future success in the NFL. Eric Karabell: Trevor Lawrence Tristan H. Cockcroft: J.K. Dobbins, RB, Baltimore Ravens -- DJ Bien-Aime. Keith Lipscomb: Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins Stephania Bell: Darren Waller, Las Vegas Raiders Richard Savill (Fantasy Six Pack), Travis Etienne (RB JAC) He's got one of the NFL's best groups of skill position players around him, and at 34, he is still in his physical prime. 3. In 2022, he could see his numbers skyrocket now that Eric Ebron is no longer on the roster. Remember: The Cowboys have six regular-season games in December and January. He looked as quick and smooth as he ever has this summer, and with left tackle Tyron Smith's injury, the Cowboys will lean on the run. Bold prediction for 2022: No. -- Liz Loza, Mills exceeded expectations in the Texans' four-win 2021 season, and don't forget about the surprising victories against the Chargers and Titans. There's no question he is the Texans' best running back. -- Brooke Pryor. Derek Brown (FantasyPros). After a stellar 2020, he was held without a sack and saw his season end in December because of his second labrum tear in as many years. -- DiRocco, Fantasy breakout candidate: Travis Etienne Jr., RB, He has elite acceleration and an uncanny ability to spin and slip through a variety of tackles. 2022 NFL Draft Central. The Cowboys are asking a lot of Prescott, but that is what's expected of a $40 million quarterback. He hasn't disappeared in Jefferson's shadow. Wentz still has a strong arm and seems comfortable in Washington -- he also has much to prove. George Pickens has received a lot of offseason hype and for good reason. McCaffrey hopes a change in preparation he received, in part, from Marshall Faulk will keep him healthy and help him return to the level he was in 2019, when he had 1,000 yards rushing and receiving. -- Bowen, 32 teams, 32 bold predictions and breakout candidates: Our NFL team-by-team preview. Throughout camp, he looked primed for another step to enter the upper echelon of pass-rushers. -- Matt Bowen, It's a rebuilding season. But this is really about new coach Dennis Allen's defense. Contract, draft and trade decisions will all be weighed in the coming months. -- Raanan. I do not see a losing season, so I will take the Over -- Doug Kezirian. Reuniting with Adams and getting a healthy Darren Waller back figures to improve his efficiency and push his passing touchdown total above 30. The giant upgrade at QB to Wilson is significant, and the defense is strong enough, but will coach Nathaniel Hackett have smooth sailing in his first season? He was on pace for more than 1,500 yards last season, before a partially torn posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee took away his burst. -- Bowen, The Chargers signed the cornerback to a five-year, $82.5 million contract in free agency, then he underwent ankle surgery on Aug. 23 after feeling discomfort in practice. -- Bowen, Adebo was thrown into the mix as a rookie last season when the Saints were short on cornerbacks.

Mike Clay: Allen Robinson II, Los Angeles Rams But Samuel soon started practicing daily and looks like the player he was in Carolina two years ago, when he finished with 1,051 combined yards from scrimmage. Miles Sanders will surprise folks in 2022 during a contract year and break out. Pickens fell in the draft after an ACL tear in his right knee in 2021, but he has shown no lingering effects from the injury. Most important discovery at camp: The offensive line is a bigger question mark than anyone could've imagined. As the lead runner in one of the league's best offenses, Akers is primed for a full-season breakout. Aaron Donald is the best defender in the NFL. Thibodeaux had a strong start to the summer after being a top-five pick in April, but it would be counterproductive to have him at anything less than 100% given his dependance on that explosive first step. Even if Bakhtiari is able to get back on the field, is he still the All-Pro left tackle he had been before the injury?

Top Breakout Candidates on Each NFL Team (2022 Fantasy Football) by FantasyPros Staff | @FantasyPros Jun 13, 2022 Breakouts. Bold prediction for 2022: Defensive end Chase Young will register 12.5 sacks. A perfect example from this past of a third-year break-out player is Jalen Hurts. -- Trotter, Fantasy breakout candidate: David Bell, WR, The third-round pick from Purdue enters a relatively wide-open wide receiver situation with the skills to provide immediate aid in catches out of the slot. Listed below are some high-end breakout candidates that I target in drafts: Kyle Pitts, Jalen Hurts, Travis Etienne, Breece Hall, Michael Pittman, Marquise Brown. The Ravens traded away Marquise Brown in the offseason, leaving Bateman as their clear No. Cousins has a coach in Kevin O'Connell that not only believes in him, but has the kind of even-keeled personality that almost certainly fits him best. He won't be Washington's top offensive threat, but his versatility and quickness underneath will impact their offense. The Bears have a lot of work to do in building around the former first-round pick, and they won't truly know whether he's their long-term option until the end of this season. Most important discovery at camp: The defense might be legit. After missing his entire rookie season with a foot injury, the former first-round pick has flashed on preseason tape in Year 2. The second-round pick out of Penn State brings a playmaking element to Chicago. You won't want to miss a moment of the 2022 season! -- Holder, Fantasy breakout candidate: Mo Alie-Cox, TE, The Colts signed Alie-Cox to a three-year deal worth $18 million ($8.2 million guaranteed). Tristan H. Cockcroft: Travis Etienne Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars If Mills improves and shows he could be the Texans' long-term answer at QB, the team will be in a great spot -- even if it doesn't make the playoffs. This really is the last opportunity for Daniel Jones to prove to the Giants that he's their franchise quarterback. In addition, the schedule also looks challenging late in the season, with two games against the Bills and one versus the defending AFC champion Bengals. Most important discovery at camp: WR Curtis Samuel's health. A dual-threat player with home run ability, Pollard will emerge in the Dallas offense. Tannehill has already shown a tendency to go to Philips in third-down situations because of his sure-handed pass catching and ability to find open windows. But Graham is currently a free agent, opening the door for Kmet to smash in 2022. If Penny stays healthy all year, he is a lock to outlive his draft cost. ARI | ATL | BAL | BUF | CAR | CHI | CIN Most important discovery at camp: CB Tyson Campbell was the Jaguars' most impressive defensive player. -- Matt Bowen, The Bears hired a first-time head coach (Matt Eberflus) and didn't help Fields by adding playmakers or upgrading the offensive line. If there is a player that fits the idea of breakout, you cannot avoid the glaringly obvious choice of Jerry Jeudy of the Broncos. The Seahawks believe their revamped defensive scheme can get Adams back to being a pass-rushing force, but he's got to stay healthy to do that. -- Legwold, Chubb was the Broncos' No. Describe the QB situation in three words: DJ's last chance. The timing is dreadful, because it is so close to the start of the regular season, and the Cowboys don't have a ready-made replacement at left tackle. He's a well-rounded pass-catcher, whose experience as a Z offers fantasy managers a steady share of regular opportunities. The Colts feature one the best run games with Taylor behind an upper-tier offensive front, and the pass game will be much more efficient with the addition of Ryan. 1 corner, coach Bill Belichick referred to Davon Godchaux as "one of the best defensive linemen in the league," while Matthew Judon and Josh Uche have been disruptive pass-rushers. Even if he misses time, on a per-game basis, he is very likely to outlive his draft cost. -- Teicher, Fantasy breakout candidate: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Smith-Schuster could draw upwards of 120 looks in an offense with more than 250 vacated targets. -- Ben Baby, Anyone who watched the Bengals for five minutes last postseason knew the offensive line needed to improve its pass blocking. Field Yates: Noah Fant. No matter who's throwing the football, Pickens will undoubtedly make plays. Daniel Dopp: Dawson Knox video. He did that playing in a limited role behind Emmanuel Sanders for much of the year. Smith had the edge from the jump thanks to his experience in Shane Waldron's system and hasn't relinquished it. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques, Jones began training camp on the PUP list after offseason Achilles surgery and missed the entire preseason. Field Yates: James Conner. Him not starting over Sanders was the biggest head scratcher to me, but the Bills elected to ease the second-year receiver along until later in the season. In a new offense under O'Connell, plus an explosive group at the skill spots, Minnesota is going to score points this season.
