    2022 fantasy football mock draft: Who’s the first WR off the board?

    Using the 1QB format in a PPR, who is the first wide receiver to be taken off the board in this 2022 fantasy football mock draft?

    With fantasy football drafts coming fast, the opportunities to refine your process through mock drafts are running out. In our latest fantasy football mock draft, we turned our attention to a PPR format with a 1QB lineup requirement. We have then broken down how we feel the teams we built played out and analyzed whether we would do anything differently in hindsight.

    If you have any questions about our latest 2022 fantasy football mock draft, come on over to our PFN Discord server. Our analysts will be dropping in throughout the day to answer your questions. Additionally, we will be running mock drafts four times a week that you can join in with and ask questions of our analysts.

    2022 fantasy football mock draft | Team analysis

    This mock was a 1QB format with fairly standard starting lineups. The starting lineup for this mock was: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, one Flex, and seven bench spots.

    We did not include kickers and D/ST. The general philosophy of our analysts at PFN is that kickers and defenses should be taken in the final two or three rounds. If you’re looking for more analysis on kickers and D/STs heading into your draft, sign up for the Fantasy Football Draft Kit available through PFN Pass.

    If you want to look at how the full draft played out in real time, you can find a comprehensive round-by-round list of selections below the team analysis.

    In this mock, each of our four analysts selected three different teams. Ben Rolfe (BR) had teams 1, 5, and 9. Ian Wharton (IW) had teams 2, 6, and 10. Jason Katz (JK) had teams 3, 7, and 11. Tommy Garrett (TG) had teams 4, 8, and 12.

    Team 1 – BR

    R1: Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND
    R2: Mark Andrews, TE, BAL
    R3: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, DAL
    R4: Brandin Cooks, WR, HOU
    R5: J.K. Dobbins, RB, BAL
    R6: Drake London, WR, ATL
    R7: Russell Wilson, QB, DEN
    R8: James Robinson, RB, JAX
    R9: Tyler Lockett, WR, SEA
    R10: J.D. McKissic, RB, WAS
    R11: Chase Claypool, WR, PIT
    R12: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, KC
    R13: Darrel Williams, RB, ARI
    R14: Curtis Samuel, WR, WAS

    The strength of this team comes from the RB and TE positions. Starting with Taylor and Elliott offers a solid floor at RB, and Andrews is a simple, every-week starter at TE. Adding Dobbins, Robinson, and Williams gives a nice mix of floor and upside options, while McKissic carries solid value in PPR and could be a regular Flex play.

    Picking up Wilson in the middle of the draft is a really nice balance for this team. Taking him in the seventh round meant not sacrificing at another position to chase QB. Wilson is a top-five QB option for me this season.

    The risky area of this roster comes at WR. Cooks and London are fantastic talents, but neither is an overly reliable week-to-week option. There’s not a lot of safety anywhere at WR on this roster. Lockett’s inconsistencies are well known, while Claypool, Valdes-Scantling, and Samuel are all high-upside but low-floor options.

    The risk when you take two backs and a TE in the first three rounds is that you leave yourself with little in the way of safety at WR. However, the trade-off is that you have a set-it-and-forget-it option at tight end, so these things balance out.

    Team 2 – IW

    R1: Austin Ekeler, RB, LAC
    R2: James Conner, RB, ARI
    R3: Nick Chubb, RB, CLE
    R4: Patrick Mahomes, QB, KC
    R5: George Kittle, TE, SF
    R6: Jerry Jeudy, WR, DEN
    R7: Chris Godwin, WR, TB
    R8: Treylon Burks, WR, TEN
    R9: DeVonta Smith, WR, PHI
    R10: Brian Robinson, RB, WAS
    R11: Russell Gage, WR, TB
    R12: Marlon Mack, RB, HOU
    R13: Jameson Williams, WR, DET
    R14: Deshaun Watson, QB, CLE

    I didn’t go into this draft thinking I’d take three straight running backs, but as the turn approached into Rounds 2 and 3, my top receivers were off the board. I felt like I had the opportunity to get two high-end RB2s to go with Ekeler. Having him, Conner, and Chubb already filled my backfield and one Flex spot, leaving me with several options moving forward.

    Having this unconventional start (for me) allowed me to play with my next set of picks. I could have taken two solid receivers and felt good about it, namely Jaylen Waddle, Michael Thomas, or even JuJu Smith-Schuster. Instead, I went for positional advantage by getting potentially top-three players at quarterback in Mahomes and tight end in Kittle.

    Waiting on receivers could work for me even if I sacrificed a little on the ceiling and a little on the floor. I need Godwin to get back to his usual self or for Burks to takeover in Tennessee.

    Overall, I think this team has a fun top-heavy feel to it that could lead me into the playoffs if my receivers step up. I could be in trouble at RB if one of my fliers doesn’t work out and I suffer an injury to one of my top guys. But that’s the risk with any extreme, top-heavy approach anyways.

    Team 3 – JK

    R1: Christian McCaffrey, RB, CAR
    R2: Tyreek Hill, WR, MIA
    R3: Mike Evans, WR, TB
    R4: DK Metcalf, WR, SEA
    R5: Darren Waller, TE, LV
    R6: Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, DET
    R7: Chase Edmonds, RB, ARI
    R8: Michael Carter, RB, NYJ
    R9: Dak Prescott, QB, DAL
    R10: Khalil Herbert, RB, CHI
    R11: Garrett Wilson, WR, NYJ
    R12: Isaiah McKenzie, WR, BUF
    R13: Jamaal Williams, RB, DET
    R14: Irv Smith Jr., TE, MIN

    One of the great things about doing these mocks (and others) every week is I get to see many different draft boards. What I’ve come to realize is I like my teams a lot more when I take a running back in the first round. Even if I didn’t get McCaffrey at 1.03, I would’ve just taken Ekeler. That gives me the foundation at RB to basically ignore the position for as long as I need to. Which is exactly what happened.

    In Rounds 2-4, I triple-tapped WR with Hill, Evans, and Metcalf. Hill and Evans are two guys I’m above consensus on. Metcalf was the highest wide receiver on my board but not the highest player on my board. I wanted Waller but took a calculated risk that he’d be there in Round 5, knowing that Ben already had Mark Andrews. Sure enough, Waller made it back to me.

    I used a similar calculus in Round 6 when I passed on Chase Edmonds in favor of St. Brown on the basis that the teams at 1 and 2 both already had three running backs. It worked out again as neither of them selected an RB, allowing me to get both ARSB and Edmonds.

    Heading into the eighth round, I needed a third running back. Carter was the highest RB on my board, but it was a toss-up between him and James Robinson. Perhaps in a couple of weeks, it’ll be Robinson, but right now, it’s Carter. I followed that up with Prescott as my starting QB.

    The rest of the draft was me filling out my roster. Herbert offers RB2 upside as the David Montgomery handcuff. Wilson in the 11th round felt like a great value as the potential Jets WR2. Although, in retrospect, I should’ve taken Jalen Tolbert to pair with Prescott.

    McKenzie is someone I’ve been taking shots on everywhere. Finally, I grabbed Williams as a floor-based bench guy and Smith because I liked him more than any of the WRs or RBs.

    Team 4 – TG

    R1: Cooper Kupp, WR, LAR
    R2: Javonte Williams, RB, DEN
    R3: Cam Akers, RB, LAR
    R4: Mike Williams, WR, LAC
    R5: AJ Dillon, RB, GB
    R6: Rashod Bateman, WR, BAL
    R7: Gabriel Davis, WR, BUF
    R8: James Cook, RB, BUF
    R9: T.J. Hockenson, TE, DET
    R10: Tyler Boyd, WR, CIN
    R11: DeVante Parker, WR, NE
    R12: Kirk Cousins, QB, MIN
    R13: Romeo Doubs, WR, GB
    R14: Trevor Lawrence, QB, JAX

    If I have a top-five pick this year, it’s really just about who falls and where I’m in that mix. For me, it’s Taylor, McCaffrey, and one of the top three receivers, with Ja’Marr Chase as the fifth option. In this mock draft, Kupp was available, so I pounced and grabbed my WR1. Not only does Kupp bring as high of a floor as any receiver, but his week-winning performances should return in 2022.

    Additionally, I added Mike Williams for some explosiveness, along with Davis. Bateman, while lacking an elite ceiling, should be the reliable WR1 for Lamar Jackson. He is a breakout candidate and someone I love adding, especially as a WR3/4.

    On my bench, Boyd and Doubs could have some value later down the road. Barring injury, they are upside bench stashes on this roster.

    After going WR with Kupp in the first, I loaded up on volume in Rounds 2 and 3 with Javonte Williams and Akers. Williams at RB13 is in line with his current value for me. Akers, someone I’m higher on more than others here, was an easy pick as the 17th running back off the board.

    Dillon in Round 5 (RB24) saved this roster. He was the last RB I would be comfortable starting, and I prefer him over some other rushers who went before him, such as J.K. Dobbins, Elijah Mitchell, and Josh Jacobs.

    I felt I was lacking in receiving upside, so I added James Cook to hopefully take advantage of the PPR scoring format. Hockenson, in the ninth round, was one of the better value picks on this team to secure a starting caliber TE.

    Unfortunately, the board did not fall right for QB, with Dak Prescott going before me at the 9.03. At that point, I waited even longer, grabbing the always underrated Cousins in the 12th round and Lawrence in the 14th.

    Team 5 – BR

    R1: Justin Jefferson, WR, MIN
    R2: Deebo Samuel, WR, SF
    R3: David Montgomery, RB, CHI
    R4: Josh Jacobs, RB, LV
    R5: Justin Herbert, QB, LAC
    R6: Damien Harris, RB, NE
    R7: Kenneth Walker III, RB, SEA
    R8: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, ARI
    R9: Hunter Renfrow, WR, LV
    R10: Darrell Henderson, RB, LAR
    R11: Albert Okwuegbunam, TE, DEN
    R12: Kenny Golladay, WR, NYG
    R13: Gus Edwards, RB, BAL
    R14: Marvin Jones, WR, JAX

    It was a fun experiment to start WR-WR with Jefferson and Samuel. That then left me in a position to let WR play out and pick off names I liked later in the rounds. Hopkins will be a fantastic WR3 when he returns. Renfrow offers a solid Flex starter, Golladay is a late-round upside play, and Jones is perennially underrated.

    The problem with this strategy is that it can leave you searching at RB. I’m higher than most on Montgomery and Jacobs, so getting them in Rounds 3 and 4 meant I was happy with those first four rounds. Adding Harris, Walker, Henderson, and Edwards provides another four potential starters if things play out right during the year.

    Herbert in the fifth round was a nice base for QB. The position does tend to fall in our PFN mocks, so you may not get the opportunity to grab him this late, even in 1QB. Okwuegbunam is a risk as the starting tight end, especially with Greg Dulcich pushing for his starting role. Still, Okwuegbunam should have a slight advantage entering the year and now has Wilson throwing him the ball.

    The risk of going WR-WR played out nicely here. The only way it works for you as a strategy is if you have a handful of mid-round RBs you feel strongly about. Doing this may leave you with times in the season where you are scratching your head at RB, but there are enough options on this roster that it should be fine most weeks.

    Team 6 – IW

    R1: Najee Harris, RB, PIT
    R2: Davante Adams, WR, LV
    R3: Travis Etienne Jr., RB, JAX
    R4: Terry McLaurin, WR, WAS
    R5: Jaylen Waddle, WR, MIA
    R6: Dalton Schultz, TE, DAL
    R7: Joe Burrow, QB, CIN
    R8: Dameon Pierce, RB, HOU
    R9: George Pickens, WR, PIT
    R10: Rachaad White, RB, TB
    R11: Julio Jones, WR, TB
    R12: DJ Chark, WR, DET
    R13: Sony Michel, RB, MIA
    R14: Odell Beckham Jr., WR, FA

    This team is the perfect example of what possible roster limitations come if you don’t take a running back in three of the first five rounds. I’m not upset I missed any specific opportunities, though. My backfield is lacking as I opted for advantages at WR, TE, and QB over selecting from a pool of similar backs.

    The duo of Harris and Adams are massive leaders for my roster. I like Etienne’s upside even more after seeing him in the preseason. It’s my fourth and fifth-round picks who will determine the strength of my team, though. McLaurin and Waddle have to score touchdowns.

    The depth of my team is a little too reliant on rookies. That wasn’t on purpose. I probably should have taken Darrell Henderson instead of White, in particular. But I believe in Pierce and Pickens as upside plays with great value, so I’m not concerned there.

    I like this team, but it’s going to have less margin for error than some of the others.

    Team 7 – JK

    R1: Dalvin Cook, RB, MIN
    R2: Saquon Barkley, RB, NYG
    R3: Tee Higgins, WR, CIN
    R4: Allen Robinson, WR, LAR
    R5: Michael Thomas, WR, NO
    R6: Adam Thielen, WR, MIN
    R7: Jalen Hurts, QB, PHI
    R8: Kareem Hunt, RB, CLE
    R9: Zach Ertz, TE, ARI
    R10: Alexander Mattison, RB, MIN
    R11: Jalen Tolbert, WR, DAL
    R12: Matthew Stafford, QB, LAR
    R13: Mark Ingram II, RB, NO
    R14: K.J. Osborn, WR, MIN

    Remember what I said in my Team 3 write-up about how I like my teams much more when I take a running back first? Well, I started double RB here, and this might be my favorite team I’ve drafted in any mock thus far.

    There’s a world where Cook and Barkley are both top five running backs this season. And taking them didn’t really hurt me at wide receiver. With my next three picks, I grabbed Higgins, Robinson, and Thomas. All three have WR1 upside.

    In Round 6, I took my favorite value WR in Thielen. He will be my second Flex and is someone who can be a mid-to-high WR2. Then, in the seventh round, my favorite QB, Jalen Hurts, was available about a round lower than his ADP.

    After taking a safe RB3 in Hunt, I completed my starting lineup with Ertz in the ninth. This is a stacked roster top to bottom with both a high floor and a high ceiling.

    On the bench, I decided to handcuff Cook with Alexander Mattison, which is something I normally don’t do. However, Mattison is a sure thing as a handcuff, so he’s the exception. Tolbert is all upside as the presumptive Cowboys WR2. I didn’t necessarily need Stafford, but I really couldn’t justify taking any of the RBs or WRs over him.

    My final two picks were Ingram — who has RB2 upside in the event of an Alvin Kamara injury (or suspension) — and Osborn. While Osborn is my third Viking, in the last round it’s all about upside. He’s a handcuff WR who might also have standalone WR4 value.

    Team 8 – TG

    R1: Ja’Marr Chase, WR, CIN
    R2: Travis Kelce, TE, KC
    R3: Breece Hall, RB, NYJ
    R4: Elijah Mitchell, RB, SF
    R5: Marquise Brown, WR, ARI
    R6: Darnell Mooney, WR, CHI
    R7: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, KC
    R8: Rashaad Penny, RB, SEA
    R9: Kadarius Toney, WR, NYG
    R10: Trey Lance, QB, SF
    R11: Raheem Mostert, RB, MIA
    R12: Jahan Dotson, WR, WAS
    R13: Zamir White, RB, LV
    R14: Hunter Henry, TE, NE

    Like the 1.04 team, I opted to use the PPR scoring format to help me decide who to choose here. But I did take a different route with the second pick. Rather than selecting a running back, which I would usually do here, Kelce was too tempting after watching six RBs go after I last picked, especially with the premium placed on target volume. Both Kelce and Chase could lead their respective positions in yardage in 2022.

    Now, it was all about adding running backs. While I do like the upside both Hall and Mitchell bring, it’s the weakest part of this team. Hall is electric, but the question is how much Michael Carter will impact his weekly upside.

    As for Mitchell, he just needs to stay healthy. He averaged 22.6 opportunities last year in his 11 games, 18.8 of which came on the ground. That said, the added rushing threat of Trey Lance is a concern, as is banking on Kyle Shanahan not to revert back to a committee approach.

    At RB3/4, CEH is a pick I’ll never feel great about, but at a certain point in a draft, value is value. The same approach goes for Penny, as we don’t know the split in Seattle with Kenneth Walker III.

    Speaking of Lance, he was my selection as my QB1. You have to find rushing upside in fantasy — unless you draft someone like Tom Brady — who is on an offense that should lead in both pace and passing volume. Last season, Lance only started two games but averaged 22.4 PPR points and 60 rushing yards a contest. Those are QB1 numbers. Over an entire season, a top-eight finish is well within the range of outcomes, similar to how Jalen Hurts broke out in 2021.

    Brown, Mooney, Toney, and Dotson round out the rest of the pass catchers. Of these picks, Mooney and Toney are my favorites. Toney is one of my go-to picks in the ninth round if he is on the board. He could be a top-15 WR in points per game which was one of my bold predictions of the year.

    Team 9 – BR

    R1: Joe Mixon, RB, CIN
    R2: Aaron Jones, RB, GB
    R3: Keenan Allen, WR, LAC
    R4: Diontae Johnson, WR, PIT
    R5: Miles Sanders, RB, PHI
    R6: Devin Singletary, RB, BUF
    R7: Tom Brady, QB, TB
    R8: Melvin Gordon III, RB, DEN
    R9: Robert Woods, WR, TEN
    R10: Christian Kirk, WR, JAX
    R11: Cole Kmet, TE, CHI
    R12: Michael Gallup, WR, DAL
    R13: Kenyan Drake, RB, LV
    R14: Mecole Hardman, WR, KC

    This team was the reverse of my Team 5 build, going RB-RB in the first two rounds. Mixon and Jones offer a solid base, and when combined with Allen and Johnson at WR, there’s a lovely core to this team. Backing that up with Brady at QB means there is a fab five that should be every-week starters.

    Sanders and Singletary, as the RB3-4 pairing, offer some concerns. Hindsight of the board and this team mean I should have gone Cordarrelle Patterson or Tony Pollard as high-upside PPR plays in place of Sanders. Gordon and Drake both offer intriguing bench options at the position.

    Backing up the Allen-Johnson combo is a nice mix of Woods, Kirk, Gallup, and Hardman. With a relatively high-floor pairing in the first four rounds, there was the chance to shoot for upside while also absorbing a player who could start on the PUP in Gallup. Kmet at TE is the riskiest element of this roster, but I feel confident streaming the position if he doesn’t work out as I hope.

    This team worked out nicely. I could have been braver in Rounds 5 and 6 with higher upside RB options. However, I really like the balance of this roster, especially with the RB-RB start and then two high floor wide receivers.

    Team 10 – IW

    R1: Derrick Henry, RB, TEN
    R2: D’Andre Swift, RB, DET
    R3: A.J. Brown, WR, PHI
    R4: DJ Moore, WR, CAR
    R5: Antonio Gibson, RB, WAS
    R6: Lamar Jackson, QB, BAL
    R7: Dallas Goedert, TE, PHI
    R8: Skyy Moore, WR, KC
    R9: Allen Lazard, WR, GB
    R10: Tyler Allgeier, RB, ATL
    R11: Alec Pierce, WR, IND
    R12: Derek Carr, QB, LV
    R13: Pat Freiermuth, TE, PIT
    R14: D’Onta Foreman, RB, CAR

    Being able to land a top-six pick and another first-round back in any draft is a home run. I certainly didn’t expect to find Henry available at No. 10, and then to see Swift survive the turn was a pleasant surprise. I also would’ve been happy with Kamara or Fournette, but Swift is often taken before them. This was a great foundation for my roster.

    I wish I would have taken Michael Pittman Jr. or Courtland Sutton over Brown, but I misread the board a bit. Still, I walked away with two solid receivers and added a needed Flex play in Gibson. While Gibson is trending downward, the cost of a fifth-round pick is too low.

    I love Jackson, Goedert, Skyy Moore, and Lazard in the middle rounds. This is a great blend of upside and floor. I sacrificed a more reliable fourth back, though, so I’ll be on the lookout for the waiver wire with this roster. This draft seemed to favor backs earlier than usual, and it left me in a tougher spot at the end of my roster.

    Team 11 – JK

    R1: Stefon Diggs, WR, BUF
    R2: Leonard Fournette, RB, TB
    R3: Michael Pittman Jr., WR, IND
    R4: Kyle Pitts, TE, ATL
    R5: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, KC
    R6: Tony Pollard, RB, DAL
    R7: Amari Cooper, WR, CLE
    R8: Kyler Murray, QB, ARI
    R9: Nyheim Hines, RB, IND
    R10: Kenneth Gainwell, RB, PHI
    R11: Jakobi Meyers, WR, NE
    R12: Aaron Rodgers, QB, GB
    R13: Dontrell Hilliard, RB, TEN
    R14: Jarvis Landry, WR, NO

    I couldn’t start with a running back here, but I knew I would be able to take one in the second round. So, I took Diggs, the clear WR4 on my board, and paired him with Fournette, who I’m way above consensus on.

    After selecting Pittman in the third round, I felt like I had to do something to differentiate my team from the teams at the top, which would be built similarly, but with better players. To do that, I went with an elite tight end in Pitts.

    At the 5/6 turn, I was forced to take two players at the top of their respective tiers in Smith-Schuster and Pollard. I really like them both, but don’t necessarily view them as any better than what the teams picking at the top were able to get at the 6/7 turn, which is just the nature of a snake draft.

    The 7/8 turn is a good lesson in why being out on players is a relative turn. I don’t want Cooper or Murray this year, but when they go this late, the risk is completely gone.

    With a full starting lineup complete, I wanted to build a bench that complemented it well. Unfortunately, I didn’t do a very good job here. I focused too heavily on who the top players were on my board as opposed to chasing upside. As a result, I wound up with Hines, Gainwell, Meyers, Rodgers, Hilliard, and Landry.

    I only took Rodgers because I couldn’t justify taking someone like Hilliard over him. As for the WRs and RBs, of those five, only Gainwell has any real upside. The rest are all floor plays. This was an error and a good lesson in not adhering so strictly to ranks and rather focusing on overall roster construction.

    I love this starting roster, but the bench has a bunch of solid floor guys, and that’s not what a bench should look like.

    Team 12 – TG

    R1: CeeDee Lamb, WR, DAL
    R2: Alvin Kamara, RB, NO
    R3: Courtland Sutton, WR, DEN
    R4: Josh Allen, QB, BUF
    R5: Cordarrelle Patterson, RB, ATL
    R6: Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, NE
    R7: Brandon Aiyuk, WR, SF
    R8: Elijah Moore, WR, NYJ
    R9: Isaiah Spiller, RB, LAC
    R10: Chris Olave, WR, NO
    R11: Dawson Knox, TE, BUF
    R12: Isiah Pacheco, RB, KC
    R13: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, MIA
    R14: Nico Collins, WR, HOU

    Everyone says it’s not easy picking from the end of the draft. Yes, you are subject to the board and have a long wait between picks. However, there are also fewer restrictions. Meaning, to a certain extent, you can say screw ADP and draft whoever you want. As the odds are, they’d never make it back anyway. That’s the mindset I had for this team.

    I was planning on going RB/WR to start to set a foundation for my roster. Lamb and Kamara, for me, are about as good as I could ask for in a PPR format. Next came Sutton, who is my WR9 at the moment and the WR13 in our consensus fantasy football rankings. I believe he has top-five upside. Needless to say, I’m all-in.

    At 4.01, I did something I never do: take the first quarterback. I didn’t love the RBs in this range, and while Kyle Pitts and DJ Moore were enticing, I already had two receivers and didn’t want to do another early-TE build. Josh Allen is the only player in history to have back-to-back seasons with 400 fantasy points, and I think he blows the other QBs out of the water this year. I’m talking about 5,400-yard and 43-touchdown upside.

    Looking back, I feel the running backs here came out better than the 1.08 build. With Kamara sealed at the RB1, Patterson and Stevenson came next. I likely would have drafted Antonio Gibson if he continued to fall, but Patterson — in PPR scoring formats — should do the job as a critical playmaker for the Falcons. While I don’t expect the same production level as last year, the ball will be in his hands quite a bit.

    As for Stevenson, ADP says this is a reach. However, as I said earlier, I’ll overlook ADP to select players I like at the back end. Stevenson is my RB25 at the moment, and I selected him as the RB28. While a risk, Stevenson has been reported to be ahead of Damien Harris but, more importantly, has been seeing more receiving work. That’s critical following James White’s retirement, assuming Pierre Strong Jr. doesn’t interfere too much. Don’t you love trusting New England running backs for fantasy?

    To cap off the back half of the draft, Aiyuk is someone who has steadily moved up my rankings (WR30), and I’m drafting him on a bulk of my rosters. The same applies to Elijah Moore. He is my pick of the Jets’ WRs as a mid WR3 with massive upside. In Weeks 6-13, Moore saw 24% of the targets as the WR8 in PPR despite running a route on 47% of the Jets’ passing plays.

    Next came players primed for sizable roles in 2022 with Spiller, Olave, Pacheco, and Collins. As for TE, Knox in the 11th round adds TD upside, but ideally, this would have been Cole Kmet for the volume. I also added Tagovailoa as a “break glass in case of fire” situation to Allen. Weirdly enough, this might be my favorite of the three teams.
