Akers has a three-down skill set, and the Rams offense has been potent every year since McVays arrival, finishing 10th, 2nd, 7th, 11th and 9th in total yardage during McVays five-year run. . The top 15 RBs in terms of total points last season scored, on average, 12.1 touchdowns, and the presence of Gordon on this roster, not to mention a potentially more open offense to cater to Wilson, makes it tough to assume Williams reaches that threshold. Spencer Strider, Atlanta Braves (35 ADP) The Atlanta Braves rotation produced the seventh-best WAR in the league in 2022, and a lot of that is thanks to Rookie of the Year runner-up Spencer . Bold prediction for 2022: Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph will be one of the top head-coaching candidates next offseason. Despite the extra game, Diggs. -- Hensley, Describe the QB situation in three words: Betting on himself, It looks like Lamar Jackson will decline the Ravens' offers for a contract extension and play out the final year of his rookie contract. At 25 years old and with solid YAC ability (top 15 in 2020 prior to the shoulder strain that forced him to miss 12 games last season), Smith-Schuster could be a top 25/30 receiver. Snoop Conner and the remaining vagabonds on the Jaguars depth chart arent likely candidates to steal money touches or routes from Etienne. -- Erin Dolan. Check out our ranking of the top 10 breakout candidates in fantasy heading into the season. Eric Moody: Matt Ryan, Indianapolis Colts No tight end should make a bigger leap in 2022 than Cole Kmet, whose upside has been capped by a lack of touchdown equity with veteran Jimmy Graham rearing his ugly head the past few seasons. -- Matt Bowen, This offseason, the Ravens improved their offensive line to further protect Jackson and solidify their running game. -- Barshop, The right tackle is going into the final season of the four-year, $32.5 million contract extension he signed in 2018. But I will lean to the over because they still have Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, despite losing Hill. Declaring Barkley as a best shot breakout seems to stretch the notion, but the Giants are already fueling new ideas for him in the OTAs. Cole Kmet (TE CHI) While there are still injury concerns, you already get a discount baked into his ADP with him going as an RB3. Bold prediction for 2022: Pollard will replace Elliott as the Cowboys' lead back. Brown's ability to operate over the middle and create after the catch is making Hurts' job easier. Matt Bowen: Aaron Rodgers -- Eric Karabell, There might be some trepidation among bettors when making predictions on the win totals of Super Bowl losers. Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are BACK in the New Year for a special edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! For all the focus on Mac Jones and the offense, the defense was swarming at times, with lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. noting how "dominating" the unit was in a joint practice with the Panthers. -- Archer, Smith is out until at least early December because of surgery to reattach his left hamstring to his knee. When looking for a breakout player, I'm mindful of several key factors: the player's skill set and the chance for it to improve from one year to the next, the role he may play and the offense that he plays in. -- 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). Liz Loza: Marvin Jones Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars Positive rushing TD regression is coming for Akers. Wentz still has a strong arm and seems comfortable in Washington -- he also has much to prove. -- Erin Dolan. Keith Lipscomb: Travis Etienne Jr. The jury is still out in regard to Tua Tagovailoa -- especially playing behind a suspect offensive line. He can be a disruptive force for a Jets defense that will feature some young talent this season. But why? -- Eric Moody, Wentz is an upgrade at the QB position and has a lot of athletic and talented players around him to work with. The 2021 first overall pick is a bit of an unheralded breakout candidate and potential league . And with a softer schedule, the Colts are primed to finish with one of the top records in the AFC. Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), David Njoku (TE CLE) Kyle Soppe: Robert Tonyan, Green Bay Packers He is running more decisively and harder than last year post-ACL injury. Cam Akers (RB LAR) NE | NO | NYG | NYJ | PHI | PIT | SF He should take quite a bit of pressure off of Mills, power the run game and allow the Texans to have an efficient and balanced offense. Im going to go with Mitch Trubisky. Reuniting with Adams and getting a healthy Darren Waller back figures to improve his efficiency and push his passing touchdown total above 30. The dynamic in San Francisco is expected to change in 2022, and assuming Lance is the Week 1 starter, he's undervalued as QB13. Eric Moody: Amari Cooper 2 pass-catcher in it could have a legitimate shot at a top-20 season. London is the best bet to be this year's breakout rookie receiver. Yes, the offense could be gross if Jacoby Brissett is the quarterback, but David Njoku can still ascend this season. Liz Loza: Kirk Cousins -- Keim. But he also could help make the offense more unpredictable, as teams will never be sure if it is a run, or a pass play when he is on the field. The starting five had only 21 game reps together in the preseason, and it didn't look good. Correctly predicting and projecting them before the start. Elliott's diminishing speed and production will force the Cowboys to turn to Pollard by the end of October. The reason he can rack up fantasy points so quickly is because what he can do with his legs. Plus, the upside if he stays healthy is that he can finish as a top-15 RB. A starting role should increase his floor, while his fantasy ceiling remains sky-high in a high-powered offense. With tight end-friendly Ryan under center, Alie-Cox could post career numbers and emerge as the sneakiest breakout of the season. The Niners won't ask Trey Lance to be the focal point of a team with championship aspirations. -- Seifert, Most important discovery at camp: Christian Darrisaw, OT, The left tackle appears to have taken a big step since his rookie season, a huge development at such an important position. -- Doug Kezirian. -- Michael Rothstein, Describe the QB situation in three words: Long-term planning, While the Falcons of course want to win in 2022, the quarterback spot between Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ridder comes down to whether either one of them shows to be the capable long-term starter beyond this season. Will the Philadelphia Eagles win the NFC East? Davis is a tremendous deep threat, averaging over 13 air yards per target, which ranked in the top 12 amongst receivers. If Mariota or Ridder -- or, potentially, both -- show they can fit the role for Atlanta, it leaves the Falcons with many more draft options in 2023. 1. Bold prediction for 2022: Mayfield will sign a contract extension with Carolina in December. Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Miles Sanders (RB PHI) Houston could use its two 2023 first-round picks to build around him instead of replacing him. There will be few games this season in which the Bears won't be underdogs. Kadarius Toney averaged 2.2 yards per route ran last season and had a 30-percent target share when he was on the field. After another year of leading one of the NFL's best offenses, Leftwich will have his pick of the top jobs available in 2023. -- Hensley, Fantasy breakout candidate: Rashod Bateman, WR, I see Bateman as a prime candidate to make that second-year jump as the primary wide receiver for Jackson in Baltimore. Head coach Sean McVay said while "you'd like him to be totally pain free," he's not concerned going into the season because he looks "like that Matthew that I know" during camp. -- Wagoner, Fantasy breakout candidate: Trey Lance, QB, Lance is expected to thrive in Kyle Shanahan's fantasy-friendly offense. There is no more guaranteed money in his deal beyond this season, which would make it easier for the Cowboys to move on from him in 2023. 2022 NFL draft by round. Injuries have been his biggest hurdle, and he has already been banged up in camp. Barkley is also more confident, something he admitted this offseason, and it has made a discernible difference. In addition, we have preseason power rankings, fantasy breakout players, over/under on wins, depth charts, schedules and rosters for every team. If we assume his ACL issues are truly behind him, then that long-awaited true breakout is possible. Keith Lipscomb: Hayden Hurst, Cincinnati Bengals 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. The second-year wideout has received glowing reviews during camp and projects to work as a complement to Brandin Cooks. Pierce ran strong that night, breaking two tackles with 42 of his 49 yards coming after contact. The foot injury he suffered last year might hamper Henry's efficiency and durability entering the season, but I still see him as one of the game's most dominant players. Mike Clay: Allen Robinson II, Los Angeles Rams -- Bien-Aime, Fantasy breakout candidate: Nico Collins, WR, Collins emerged as the Texans' No. Kmet saw a total of just 12 red zone targets last year, with only six end zone targets. You don't currently have any notifications. Chubb is poised to be a problem for the tackles across from him, especially if free agent signee Randy Gregory has the season the Broncos hope he can. -- Bowen, A first-round pick from a year ago, Oweh was the Ravens' best defensive player in training camp, using his quickness to repeatedly get into the backfield. Richard Savill (Fantasy Six Pack), Trevor Lawrence (QB JAC) -- 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. -- Tim McManus, Adding to Hurts' comfort level is the presence of Brown, who was acquired from the Titans on the first night of the draft for first- and third-round picks. In fantasy football and the NFL, year three is typically when we see players break out. 32 NFL players who could change teams this offseason, 2023 NFL franchise tag tracker: Commanders' Payne first to be tagged, Meet the man scouring Nigeria for the next generation of NBA and NFL talent, 2023 NFL combine preview: 15 future fantasy football stars to watch. Mac Jones led all rookie QBs in completion percentage (68%) against the fifth-most-difficult schedule against the pass. He will also start the season on the PUP list, meaning he is out for at least the first four games of the season. Another big season for Simmons should lead to a multiyear deal worth more than $100 million total. Detroit's coaching staff is doing its best to keep the hype under control, but there's no denying his early production. With limitations at the quarterback position and two downhill backs, Seattle is going to pound the ball between the tackles. Bold prediction for 2022: The Chargers will make the AFC Championship Game. Each analyst named a sleeper and a bust for each of the major offensive positions, as well as one breakout candidate. 2 seed in the AFC. The season will be a success if the Rams win the Super Bowl. Richie Grant, the team's second-round pick last year, has shown improvement at safety, and there's a good mix of talent and experience around him. Dont forget that the Bills wideout averaged 19.8 fantasy PPR points per game in his last six games as a full-time player. I expect the now 100% healthy Akers to be dialed in as the top RB in Sean McVays consistent 1-RB offense, where the teams lead back averages 20-plus touches per game. Jalen Hurts, Deebo Samuel and Cordarrelle Patterson were just a few players who broke out in a big way for fantasy managers last year. He has been explosive and fast and will be deployed on backfield releases, screens and flex from the formation to create favorable matchups. Derek Brown (FantasyPros). -- Eric Karabell, The Cowboys' offensive line takes a step back this season with Tyron Smith's injury and the departure of Connor Williams and La'el Collins. After almost 200 vacated. Bold prediction for 2022: Etienne will catch 60 passes in Doug Pederson's offense. Of course, there can be these players in the early rounds, but since they are getting drafted that early, it means many people expect a breakout. 3 receiver by the end of the season. The season will be a success if Detroit can win at least seven games. As a rookie, Bateman dropped just two of 68 targets, and he showed upside over the final month of the season, posting 100 receiving yards in one contest, a touchdown and a game with double-digit targets. Per Matt Harmons Reception Perception work, Batemans success rate was in the 85th percentile against zone coverage and the 81st percentile versus press. That's a lofty expectation for a team that failed to advance to the playoffs last season and has appeared in the postseason only twice since 2013. The only concern with Toney is health, but luckily, he goes late enough where he is often a reserve player.

Matt Bowen: Cole Kmet His arrival in L.A. both strengthens the Rams' passing game and gives him a fresh start coming off a disappointing 2021, but it also lands him in a supporting role. Jackson and the Ravens are my pick to win the AFC North, and I see Jackson playing his way into the MVP discussion, but without a new deal that both sides can agree on, the Ravens ultimately will use the franchise tag on him this offseason. That designation is a sign Kmet is due for a fantasy breakout. -- Anita Marks. -- Bowen. -- Bien-Aime. Eric Karabell: Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings Throughout camp, he looked primed for another step to enter the upper echelon of pass-rushers.

He is in line for upward of 90 targets, with 10% to 15% of them in the red zone. Lets see how he does under the tutelage of new Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson, who once coaxed an MVP-caliber season out of Carson Wentz and managed to win a Super Bowl in Philadelphia with Nick Foles running his offense. If he has made another one with Mayfield, and the Panthers don't contend for the playoffs, team owner David Tepper might not have the patience to give him a fourth year. For the defending champs, there's really no other answer, especially for a team that brought back -- and also gave contract extensions to -- several core players. He has looked good this summer while developing a rapport with Stafford. Kyle Soppe: AJ Dillon He also managed a top-eight YPA and a top-12 true passer rating in back-to-back seasons.

The addition of defensive playmakers will give Staley's unit a boost, but it's the high-octane offense, led by Herbert, that gets L.A. to the doorstep of Super Bowl LVII. He played well enough to hold off veteran Bradley Roby all season even though the Saints sent the Texans a third-round and conditional sixth-round pick for Roby last September. The defensive backs always looked like the best group on the roster, but a strong preseason from Darren Hall, slated to be the top backup at outside corner, and the emergence of Dee Alford, who can play inside or outside likely as a reserve, offers Atlanta more depth behind starters A.J. That might be asking a lot in a loaded AFC, especially with promising QB Mac Jones adjusting without former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels while learning a new offense. -- Laine, Jones is a future Pro Football Hall of Famer and will help offset the loss of WR Antonio Brown and TE Rob Gronkowski's productivity in the red zone. He will, however, be without Ben Roethlisberger this season. He was a top-eight receiver in Weeks 8-12 in receptions, yards and TDs before getting hurt.

The season will be a success if second-year QB Zach Wilson makes a leap. Tristan H. Cockcroft: Travis Etienne Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars When he's rushing right, as he did in the second half of 2020, Young is a dynamic defensive playmaker, but one who needs to mature as a pass-rusher.
