While I feel Moore will lead the team in targets, they’re within two percentage points of each other in target share. It’s a competition I expect to continue into the regular season as both of these guys are talented enough to be the No. Wilson and 2021 stand-out Elijah Moore have been trading blows back-and-forth in the media for who can have the best highlight grab of the day during training camp. But I’m not letting a talent like Wilson fall past me in the middle of the first. We’ll know in a few years who was the best receiver in the group. Wilson backed up his explosiveness with a 4.38 40-yard dash, 36″ vertical, and 123″ broad jump in Indy. Garrett Wilson is a nuanced route runner who gets out of his breaks efficiently, can manipulate a CB with his feet, and has the footwork to quickly stack a defender and use his speed to get separation. For one, we are banking on a significant improvement from Zach Wilson. However, it’s the landing spot that is less than ideal when compared to London or Treylon Burks. Many have Garrett Wilson as their WR1, and I understand entirely based on the film. But in dynasty, Walker is someone we could see on a Javonte Williams-like ascension. In a 2022 redraft, I’ll pick whoever is the cheapest. On a positive note, Walker has been linked to receiving work which is a fantastic thing for his upside as that’s the only box he has left to check. Reports coming out of training camp have pointed toward Rashaad Penny likely to lead the team in carries still. Unlike Hall, Walker is facing more uncertainty in 2022. 1 in the FBS in carries of 10+ yards (46) and 15+ yards (30). 1 in the NCAA in yards after contact (1,169) and would rank 19th in the nation in rushing using only that total. Walker finished the season with 1,636 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns. On his very first carry as a Spartan, Walker had a 75-yard house call and eventually ended the game against Northwestern with 275 yards and four TDs. 3) Kenneth Walker III, Seattle Seahawks (RB2)Ī transfer from Wake Forest, Kenneth Walker III was a completely different back once he landed in East Lansing. 1 overall pick if you feel good about where your RB situation is. Depending on your roster construction, London is absolutely deserving of being the No. Even when he faces stiffer competition, London has the skills to win. He is burning every single corner he comes across.
All it has done is further cement everything I felt London could be in the NFL. There is no getting away from the London highlights from training camp. Atlanta can rotate him and Pitts inside and out to create mismatches on every play. Receiving a massive 38% target share, London had 88 receptions, 1,084 yards, and seven touchdowns. Those saying he’s just a contested-catch receiver either have not watched the film or want to push a narrative. London lined up in the slot 96% of the time during his first two seasons at USC, but he flipped to 85% perimeter in 2021 and had a breakout campaign. He’ll see a ~25% target share starting Day 1. Behind London, it’s a newly added Bryan Edwards, Olamide Zaccheaus, KhaDarel Hodge, and Auden Tate. Now, he gets to be the focal point at the receiver position alongside Kyle Pitts at tight end. 2) Drake London, Atlanta Falcons (WR1)ĭrake London, despite being one of the younger players in the draft, has a big body (6’3 3/8″ and 219 pounds) and can win over top of you and generate separation at all three levels of the route. Hall remains the 1.01 in 2022 dynasty rookie rankings. Although he is in a committee with Michael Carter, Hall is a hyper-athletic RB that has been touted since his freshman year in college and carries 250-touch upside in 2022. All reports from OTAs and training camp have been glowing regarding Hall. It’s also been a relatively quiet summer for Hall. Not only was he drafted, but the New York Jets traded up to pick No. The RB1 in the eyes of the vast majority of the fantasy community was also the first running back selected in the NFL draft. Hall then went on to run a 4.39 40-yard dash and posted a class-best 40″ vertical and 126″ broad jump. He set an FBS record with a touchdown in 24 straight games and was fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards at 147.2 per game. He rushed for 3,931 rushing yards, including 1,472 in 2021.
