I am adding my VERY EARLY 2022 Rookie Fantasy Rankings here by request.
There are no elite
QB prospects, but I like the depth of this QB class.
- Kenny Pickett (Pittsburgh) QB1 (Tier 1) 6-3 220
- Matt Corral (Ole Miss) QB2 (Tier 1) 6-0 200
- Malik Willis (Liberty) QB3 (Tier 1) 6-1 215
- Sam Howell (North Carolina) QB4 (Tier 2) 6-1 220
- Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati) QB5 (Tier 2) 6-4 215
- Carson Strong (Nevada) QB6 (Tier 2) 6-4 215
- Tanner McKee (Stanford) QB7 (Tier 3) 6-6 228
- Bailey Zappe (Western Kentucky) QB8 (Tier 3) 6-1 220
There is no consensus on the order of the top tier of
RBs (Hall, Walker and Spiller). Given the depth at WR and scarcity of starting RBs, however, I have the trio atop my early board. This is not an especially deep RB class, but the good news is that the RBs at the top of this class all boast feature back size.
- Breece Hall (Iowa State) RB1 (Tier 1) 6-1 215
- Kenneth Walker III (Michigan State) RB2 (Tier 1) 5-10 210
- Isaiah Spiller (Texas A&M) RB3 (Tier 1) 6-1 225
- Kyren Williams (Notre Dame) RB4 (Tier 2) 5-9 195
- James Cook (Georgia) RB5 (Tier 3) 5-11 190
- Tyler Allgeier (BYU) RB6 (Tier 3) 5-11 220
- Brian Robinson Jr. (Alabama) RB7 (Tier 3) 6-1 225
- Rachaad White (Arizona State) RB8 (Tier 3) 6-2 210
- Jerrion Ealy (Ole Miss) RB9 (Tier 3) 5-8 190
- Zamir White (Georgia) RB10 (Tier 3) 5-11 215
- Chris Rodriguez (Kentucky) RB11 (Tier 3) 5-11 225
- Jerome Ford (Cincinnati) RB12 (Tier 3) 5-11 220
- Max Borghi (Washington State) RB13 (Tier 3) 5-9 195
- Kevin Harris (South Carolina) 5-10 225
- Zonovan Knight (North Carolina State) 5-11 210
- CJ Verdell (Oregon) 5-8 211
- TJ Pledger (Utah) 5-9 196
- Tyler Badie (Missouri) 5-8 198
- Keaontay Ingram (USC) 5-11 225
- Abram Smith (Baylor) 5-11 221
- Hassan Haskins (Michigan) 6-1 220
- Sincere McCormick (UTSA) 5-9 200
- Ronnie Rivers (Fresno State) 5-9 195
- Raheem Blackshear (Virginia Tech) 5-9 198
- Kennedy Brooks (Oklahoma) 5-11 209
- Dameon Pierce (Florida) 5-10 215
- Kenny McIntosh (Georgia) 6-1 210
- Bryant Koback (Toledo) 5-11 191
- D’Vonte Price (Florida International) 6-2 225
- ZaQuandre White (South Carolina ) 6-2 205
This is another good
WR class, although it will fall short of the 2020 and 2021 classes in terms of overall depth.
- Treylon Burks (Arkansas) WR1 (Tier 1) 6-3 225
- Garrett Wilson (Ohio State) WR2 (Tier 1) 6-0 188
- Drake London (USC) WR3 (Tier 1) 6-5 210
- Chris Olave (Ohio State) WR4 (Tier 2) 6-1 188
- David Bell (Purdue) WR5 (Tier 2) 6-2 205
- Jameson Williams (Alabama) WR6 (Tier 2) 6-2 189
- George Pickens (Georgia) WR7 (Tier 2) 6-3 200
- Jahan Dotson (Penn State) WR8 (Tier 2) 5-11 184
- John Metchie III (Alabama) WR9 (Tier 3) 6-0 195
- Romeo Doubs (Nevada) WR10 (Tier 3) 6-2 200
- Wan’Dale Robinson (Kentucky) WR11 (Tier 3) 5-9 185
- Jalen Tolbert (South Alabama) WR12 (Tier 3) 6-3 190
- Justyn Ross (Clemson) WR13 (Tier 3) 6-4 205
- Skyy Moore (Western Michigan) 5-10 195
- Khalil Shakir (Boise State) 6-0 190
- Erik Ezukanma (Texas Tech) 6-3 220
- Alec Pierce (Cincinnati) 6-3 213
- Jaivon Heiligh (Coastal Carolina) 6-2 200
- Dontario Drummond (Ole Miss) 6-0 215
- Jaquarii Roberson (Wake Forest) 6-1 183
While there is no Kyle Pitts or Pat Freiermuth, this is an intriguing
TE class.
- Trey McBride (Colorado State) TE1 (Tier 1) 6-4 260
- Jalen Wydermyer (Texas A&M) TE2 (Tier 1) 6-5 255
- Isaiah Likely (Coastal Carolina) TE3 (Tier 2) 6-4 240
- Cade Otton (Washington) 6-5 250
- Cole Turner (Nevada) 6-6 240
- Jeremy Ruckert (Ohio State) 6-5 250
- Charlie Kolar (Iowa State) 6-6 260
- Jahleel Billingsley (Alabama) 6-4 230
- Greg Dulcich (UCLA) 6-3 245
- Jake Ferguson (Wisconsin) 6-5 244
- James Mitchell (Virginia Tech) 6-3 242
Here is my
extremely preliminary combined three-round board. (PPR rankings, start 1QB, no TE premium.) I have omitted my player analysis and “range of comparisons”, for now. I will add those later as things start to come more into focus.
