2022 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers (May 29):
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100
Other Positions: QB | RB | TE
-
Cooper Kupp, WR, Rams. Bye: 0.
Cooper Kupp enjoyed 2-hour breakfasts with Matthew Stafford preceding the season, and it panned out. Kupp had a monster year with Stafford. There’s no reason to think Kupp will regress next year.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 135 catches. 1,650 yards. 12 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 262.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 397.
-
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Bengals. Bye: 0.
So much for all of those drops in the preseason! Ja’Marr Chase made his detractors look incredibly foolish this past season, especially in his terrific performance against the Chiefs in Week 17. Chase will be even better with more experience.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 83 catches. 1,430 yards. 14 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 252.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 335.
-
Davante Adams, WR, Raiders. Bye: 0.
Davante Adams was a monster in 2021, posting the best numbers of his career. He was ranked No. 1 on this site back in February, but he’s no longer at the top because he’s now with the Raiders.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 114 catches. 1,320 yards. 13 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 235.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 349.
-
Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers. Bye: 0.
Deebo Samuel had a monstrous 2021 campaign, thriving in every role, including running back. He’s a jack of all trades, master of everything, and he should continue to be a top fantasy producer in 2022. The only question is where he’s going to play, given that he has demanded a trade.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 80 catches. 1,440 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 235.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 315.
-
Tyreek Hill, WR, Dolphins. Bye: 0.
Tyreek Hill saw his touchdown total regress last year because teams used the cover-2 shell against the Chiefs. His numbers will continue to worsen because he’s now paired with Tua Tagovailoa as opposed to Patrick Mahomes.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 97 catches. 1,300 yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 221.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 318.
-
Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings. Bye: 0.
Justin Jefferson had an amazing rookie year, and yet he was even better in his second season. Jefferson will never reach his true potential, however, as long as the Vikings are afraid to throw the ball at times with Kirk Cousins.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 98 catches. 1,490 yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 234.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 332.
-
Stefon Diggs, WR, Bills. Bye: 0.
Stefon Diggs didn’t have the same number of receptions he logged in 2020 (127), as Buffalo’s offense regressed a bit. Still, Diggs exceeded his touchdown total.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 105 catches. 1,300 yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 215.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 320.
-
A.J. Brown, WR, Eagles. Bye: 0.
A.J. Brown was a dominant force on the field last year. He missed four games, but was exceptional when healthy despite playing in a run-first offense. He was traded to the Eagles during the 2022 NFL Draft. It’s a shame he couldn’t go from Ryan Tannehill to a great quarterack.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 79 catches. 1,240 yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 209.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 288.
-
CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 0.
CeeDee Lamb improved upon his rookie campaign stats despite missing one game. Dak Prescott endured a slump in the second half of the year, so Lamb’s numbers should be even better in his third year, especially with Amari Cooper gone.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 1,160 yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 189.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 273.
-
Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 0.
It’s hard to believe, but Mike Evans failed to accumulate 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career. However, he was still able to achieve double-digit touchdowns. Evans’ yardage will increase next year with Antonio Brown gone.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Stats: 77 catches. 1,110 yards. 13 total TDs.
Projected 2022 Fantasy Points: 199.
Projected 2022 PPR Fantasy Points: 276.
