Eric Moody: Amari Cooper The Rams have a tough road schedule in 2022, but the expectation in the building is certainly to be back hoisting that trophy in February 2023. He had one of the best rookie years ever for a tight end (68 catches, 1,026 yards, one touchdown), but he has all the tools to become one of the NFL's best tight ends this season. The Rams had turnover at two positions on the offensive line this offseason, including left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who retired after the Rams' Super Bowl LVI victory. The Bengals will be looking to see how Higgins will fit in their long-term future. Barkley is also more confident, something he admitted this offseason, and it has made a discernible difference. He also was in the top 10 with 13 end zone targets. While there are still injury concerns, you already get a discount baked into his ADP with him going as an RB3. Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are BACK in the New Year for a special edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast! Tristan H. Cockcroft: Trey Lance, San Francisco 49ers He is running more decisively and harder than last year post-ACL injury.

Clay's projections and unit grades: Stacking all 32 teams, plus best offenses, defenses and schedules, Which quarterback could have a historic Year 2?

Terrell and Casey Hayward. 5- Allen LazardWR Green Bay Packers. -- McManus. Ten years ago, Joe Flacco chose not to sign an extension with Baltimore entering his fifth season, just like Jackson. Neither is likely to happen at this point.

The 2021 NFL Draft class looks poised to go down as an all-timer, and that's based solely on those who hit the ground running as rookies, namely Ja'Marr Chase and Micah Parsons, among others.There's still a good number of players who had ho-hum rookie seasons but look poised to be impact players in 2022.

Other receivers who can say that include Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, A.J. 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 the Steelers can both run the ball and stop the run. 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. Wentz still has a strong arm and seems comfortable in Washington -- he also has much to prove. -- Louis-Jacques, Fantasy breakout candidate: Chase Edmonds, RB, "Breakout" might be a little strong, but Edmonds is my "bang for your buck" choice since he is currently being drafted outside the top 32 RBs in ESPN leagues. -- Woodyard, Fantasy breakout candidate: D'Andre Swift, RB, Swift is already quite valuable in fantasy, but the upside is there -- should he stay healthy and earn more volume -- to become one of the top running backs in the league. Look for a much-improved passing game. "There was a volume to the offense that can become overwhelming to a rookie, and he's not dealing with that, so he's able to go out and play fast," offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said about Palmer.

Eric Karabell: Michael Thomas Yes, he's 37 years old, but his 14 years in the league show he's durable (he has missed just one game in his 12 years as a starter) and an experienced decision-maker who can get the ball to his receivers quickly (another trait already on display at minicamp).

His return, along with guard Elgton Jenkins coming back from a torn left ACL, could solidify the offensive line. Our featured pundits are here to tackle that very question! 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.
