2022 Fantasy Football: Top-200 Redraft PPR Rankings

These 2022 fantasy football PPR rankings are fluid and should be used as a general guide to value players. Every league is different, and you know your league best. There’s always that guy who drafts Patrick Mahomes in the first round, or maybe you know a homer in your league who will gladly draft Jameis Winston in the second round. Attack various positions based on your knowledge about your league mates to extract maximum value from each pick, but here is my overall draft strategy for each position.

As a general rule of thumb, you’ll find that quarterbacks are placed fairly late in my PPR rankings below, as there are plenty of productive starters in 1QB formats. Josh Allen is likely to go way too early in many leagues, so wait for other guys with elite rushing upside like Jalen Hurts or Trey Lance available a round or more later. If you pass on that tier, productive veterans like Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford shouldn’t be overlooked. In normal 10 or 12-team leagues, there’s no need to roster a backup quarterback unless your league hoards at the position.

Running backs with secure workloads are scarce, so they are prioritized in the early rounds of my PPR rankings. Don’t be scared away from guys returning from injury like Saquon Barkley and Travis Etienne, as both should be fully healthy heading into 2022. If you do select some elite wide receivers or tight ends early instead, there are plenty of upside running backs in the middle rounds. Target upside RB3s with massive upside like James Cook and Isaiah Spiller at their respective ADPs later on or grab some pass-catching backs who’ll see target volume like J.D. McKissic or Nyheim Hines.

Attack upside wide receivers in the middle rounds and then wait to grab a couple of depth guys late. Rookies who could see immediate volume like Drake London and Jalen Tolbert are currently undervalued, as both project for starting roles in Week 1. Older veterans like Allen Robinson and Courtland Sutton are undervalued as well with both having seen major quarterback upgrades this offseason. And while other teams reach for depth wide receivers with flashier names, grab no. 3 receivers like Russell Gage and Jamison Crowder in productive offenses later in drafts. Both are higher in my rankings than ADP, as these wide receivers could possibly see far more targets than many are projecting early in the year.

There are few tight ends projected to be the no. 1 receiver for their respective teams, and I do think that positional scarcity warrants selecting Travis Kelce, Kyle Pitts, and Mark Andrews fairly early in the first three rounds. If you forgo an elite tight end, you can target later-round tight ends like Robert Tonyan and Gerald Everett, all of whom project to be primary red-zone reads for elite quarterbacks.

The majority of your bench should focus on high-upside running backs, whether they’re handcuffs with RB1 potential or devalued backs in a committee who have a shot at winning the starting job. Everyone knows about Tony Pollard and A.J. Dillon, but don’t forget about Darrel Williams and Khalil Herbert. Some potential sleepers to target in very deep leagues, whether it’s 16 teams or 30-man rosters, could be Jordan Mason or Pierre Strong. These rookies could make an impact far sooner than expected.

Here are my top-200 fantasy football rankings for the 2022 season for full PPR scoring. Best of luck! And be sure to check back for updated rankings as we near the season. Injuries are sure to happen, and other changing situations will shake up these PPR rankings as well.

2022 PPR Rankings

Last updated on Tuesday, June 21st.

Rank	Pos Rk	Player	Pos	Team	Comments
1	RB1	Jonathan Taylor	RB	IND	Injuries can strike any player, but Taylor is the youngest of the workhorse RBs without any significant injury history, making him the safest 1.01.
2	RB2	Christian McCaffrey	RB	CAR
3	RB3	Dalvin Cook	RB	MIN
4	WR1	Cooper Kupp	WR	LAR	This tier of WRs all have safe floors and top overall WR ceiling, making them the safest first-round picks behind the top workhorse RBs.
5	RB4	Leonard Fournette	RB	TB	Prior to his Week 15 hamstring injury last year, Fournette was the no. 5 RB in PPR PPG. There's no reason he should fall to Round 2.
6	RB5	Austin Ekeler	RB	LAC
7	WR2	Justin Jefferson	WR	MIN
8	TE1	Travis Kelce	TE	KC	With Hill in MIA, Kelce becomes the clear no. 1 target and should be in for another season of monster target volume.
9	RB6	Aaron Jones	RB	GB
10	RB7	Joe Mixon	RB	CIN
11	WR3	Ja'Marr Chase	WR	CIN
12	WR4	Stefon Diggs	WR	BUF
13	WR5	CeeDee Lamb	WR	DAL	With Cooper gone and Gallup coming off an ACL tear, Lamb projects to be the top target in DAL with a WR2 floor and top-5 WR ceiling.
14	WR6	Mike Evans	WR	TB	With Brown gone and Godwin coming off an ACL tear, Evans is poised to be a target hog early on and should score double digit TDs again.
15	RB8	Saquon Barkley	RB	NYG	Barkley was an elite PPR RB when healthy last year, and the entire Giants offense should be more efficient with Daboll replacing Judge.
16	TE2	Kyle Pitts	TE	ATL	Don't discount Pitts simply because of Mariota. He should be a target magnet considering ATL's lack of WR talent and poor defense.
17	RB9	Najee Harris	RB	PIT
18	RB10	D'Andre Swift	RB	DET
19	RB11	Derrick Henry	RB	TEN	Henry has been the exception to every rule, but at 28 years old and coming off a major foot injury, approach him with caution this year.
20	RB12	Alvin Kamara	RB	NO	Kamara would be higher were it not for a potential suspension stemming from his Vegas incident. Keep an eye on his status coming up.
21	WR7	Davante Adams	WR	LVR	Both Adams and Hill saw QB downgrades this offseason. They're still WR1s but are no longer locked-in top-5 WRs worth 1st round picks.
22	WR8	Tyreek Hill	WR	MIA
23	WR9	Tee Higgins	WR	CIN
24	WR10	Deebo Samuel	WR	SF
25	WR11	Keenan Allen	WR	LAC
26	WR12	Michael Pittman	WR	IND
27	WR13	Courtland Sutton	WR	DEN	Sutton profiles similarly to Metcalf, and with Jeudy potentially facing a suspension to start the year, Sutton has top-5 WR upside early on.
28	WR14	Allen Robinson	WR	CHI	McVay's offense made both Kupp and Woods top-15 WRs with Goff at the helm. With Stafford, Robinson is a massive bounce-back candidate.
29	RB13	Cam Akers	RB	LAR
30	RB14	Javonte Williams	RB	DEN
31	RB15	Ezekiel Elliott	RB	DAL
32	RB16	Nick Chubb	RB	CLE
33	WR15	Mike Williams	WR	LAC
34	WR16	Marquise Brown	WR	ARI	With Hopkins suspended for 6 games, Brown has rapport with his former college QB and will see a ton of targets in a fast-paced ARI offense.
35	QB1	Josh Allen	QB	BUF
36	QB2	Justin Herbert	QB	LAC
37	WR17	Brandin Cooks	WR	HOU
38	WR18	A.J. Brown	WR	PHI
39	RB17	Travis Etienne	RB	JAX
40	RB18	Elijah Mitchell	RB	SF
41	TE3	Mark Andrews	TE	BAL	Andrews benefited greatly in 2021 from Huntley's inability to throw downfield and BAL's injured defense forcing more passes. Don't reach for him.
42	QB3	Kyler Murray	QB	ARI
43	QB4	Lamar Jackson	QB	BAL
44	QB5	Patrick Mahomes	QB	KC
45	QB6	Jalen Hurts	QB	PHI	PHI added AJ Brown and shored up the OL. With his rushing production, Hurts is a locked-in QB1 with top-3 upside if he develops as a passer.
46	QB7	Trey Lance	QB	SF	Like Hurts, Lance has a strong OL, good surrounding weapons, and rushing upside. He's a strong QB1 option with top-3 upside as well.
47	TE4	George Kittle	TE	SF
48	WR19	Amari Cooper	WR	CLE
49	WR20	Diontae Johnson	WR	PIT
50	WR21	D.J. Moore	WR	CAR
51	WR22	Terry McLaurin	WR	WAS
52	WR23	Jerry Jeudy	WR	DEN	A lot depends on whether the NFL will suspend Jeudy for his recent legal issues. If not, he'll jump up the rankings a bit.
53	RB19	James Conner	RB	ARI
54	RB20	Josh Jacobs	RB	LVR
55	RB21	David Montgomery	RB	CHI
56	RB22	Antonio Gibson	RB	WAS
57	WR24	Adam Thielen	WR	MIN	Health is a concern, but Thielen was the no. 9 WR in PPR PPG through Week 12 last year prior to his injury and is a steal at his current ADP.
58	WR25	Rashod Bateman	WR	BAL
59	WR26	Drake London	WR	ATL	London profiles as a true no. 1 WR and joins an ATL WR room devoid of talent. He should command immediate target volume even as a rookie.
60	WR27	Russell Gage	WR	TB	With Godwin likely not ready or not 100% healthy to start the season, Gage has top-15 WR upside early on and WR2 potential for the year.
61	RB23	Breece Hall	RB	NYJ
62	RB24	Miles Sanders	RB	PHI
63	RB25	Damien Harris	RB	NE	Even in a NE RBBC, Harris has huge weekly TD upside considering NE was 7th in run rate both overall as well as in the red zone in 2021.
64	RB26	J.K. Dobbins	RB	BAL	It sounds like Dobbins could start the year on the PUP list and isn't close to 100% with the additional LCL component on top of his ACL tear.
65	WR28	Jaylen Waddle	WR	MIA
66	WR29	D.K. Metcalf	WR	SEA
67	RB27	Chase Edmonds	RB	MIA
68	RB28	Clyde Edwards-Helaire	RB	KC
69	WR30	DeAndre Hopkins	WR	ARI	There's an argument that 6 extra weeks of rest is a silver lining of Hopkins's suspension. He could still finish as a WR2 in 2022.
70	WR31	Chris Godwin	WR	TB	There's risk that Godwin could start the season on the PUP list and might not be 100% healthy until late in the year, if at all in 2022.
71	RB29	A.J. Dillon	RB	GB
72	WR32	Darnell Mooney	WR	CHI
73	WR33	Gabriel Davis	WR	BUF
74	WR34	Brandon Aiyuk	WR	SF	Last year, Samuel was undervalued. This year, Aiyuk is being forgotten despite his production with Samuel and Samuel's long injury history.
75	WR35	Elijah Moore	WR	NYJ
76	WR36	Amon-Ra St. Brown	WR	DET	St. Brown should see plenty of targets with Goff's propensity to target the slot. Just don't expect elite WR1 production like he had late in 2021.
77	QB8	Matthew Stafford	QB	LAR
78	QB9	Russell Wilson	QB	DEN
79	QB10	Tom Brady	QB	TB
80	TE5	Darren Waller	TE	LVR
81	TE6	T.J. Hockenson	TE	DET
82	TE7	Dalton Schultz	TE	DAL
83	TE8	Zach Ertz	TE	ARI
84	RB30	Melvin Gordon	RB	DEN
85	RB31	James Cook	RB	BUF	Cook should immediately see some passing-down work with the potential to take over as the lead back in an efficient BUF offense.
86	QB11	Joe Burrow	QB	CIN	CIN's playoff success overshadows the fact that he was just the no. fantasy 9 QB in PPG last season and is due for some TD regression.
87	QB12	Aaron Rodgers	QB	GB
88	QB13	Dak Prescott	QB	DAL
89	RB32	Ronald Jones	RB	KC
90	RB33	Devin Singletary	RB	BUF
91	RB34	J.D. McKissic	RB	WAS	In 12 games together last season, Gibson was the RB21 and McKissic the RB27 in PPR PPG. There's no reason for their vast gap in ADP.
92	WR37	Chris Olave	WR	NO	With Thomas's health still in question this close to the season, Olave's upside with Winston under center is being underrated.
93	WR38	JuJu Smith-Schuster	WR	KC
94	WR39	Kenny Golladay	WR	NYG
95	WR40	Michael Thomas	WR	NO	There are whispers that Thomas still isn't 100% healed from his ankle surgery. If he looks good in training camp, he'll move up the rankings.
96	WR41	Allen Lazard	WR	GB	With Adams gone, Lazard has the most rapport with Rodgers among the current WRs in GB and could lead the team in targets this year.
97	WR42	Christian Kirk	WR	JAX
98	WR43	DeVonta Smith	WR	PHI
99	WR44	Robert Woods	WR	TEN	Woods is expected to be ready to start the season and shouldn't be overlooked despite TEN's addition of Burks during the draft.
100	WR45	Skyy Moore	WR	KC	It's difficult to project what KC's passing offense will look like with Hill gone, but this is a good range to target Mahomes's talented new rookie WR.
101	WR46	Treylon Burks	WR	TEN
102	RB35	Kareem Hunt	RB	CLE
103	RB36	Isaiah Spiller	RB	LAC	Spiller's combine results were disappointing, but he's a good all-around RB and should immediately win the 1B role in the LAC backfield.
104	RB37	Darrel Williams	RB	ARI	Conner has never played a full season, so there's opportunity for Williams to play the Edmonds role with added upside if Conner were to miss time.
105	RB38	Tony Pollard	RB	DAL
106	RB39	Rhamondre Stevenson	RB	NE
107	RB40	Alexander Mattison	RB	MIN
108	RB41	Khalil Herbert	RB	CHI
109	TE9	Dawson Knox	TE	BUF
110	TE10	Cole Kmet	TE	CHI	CHI's WR room is pretty barren behind Mooney. There's a real chance that Kmet could emerge as Fields's no. 2 target in 2022.
111	WR47	Chase Claypool	WR	PIT
112	WR48	Jalen Tolbert	WR	DAL	Gallup had ACL surgery in Feb and could miss a large part of the 2022 season. Tolbert could be an immediate starter alongside Lamb.
113	WR49	Jarvis Landry	WR	NO
114	WR50	Tyler Lockett	WR	SEA	Lockett's production was reliant on rapport with Wilson, and Lock's accuracy leaves much to be desired. A trade for Lockett would be ideal.
115	WR51	Garrett Wilson	WR	NYJ
116	QB14	Justin Fields	QB	CHI	Even with CHI failing to add much OL or WR help this offseason, Fields's rushing production keeps him in that high-end QB2 range.
117	QB15	Derek Carr	QB	LVR	LVR added Adams, and MIA added Hill. Both Carr and Tua are strong QB2 options with top-10 QB potential on the season.
118	QB16	Tua Tagovailoa	QB	MIA
119	QB17	Kirk Cousins	QB	MIN
120	TE11	Evan Engram	TE	JAX	After Dan Arnold's trade to JAX last year and prior to injury, he was averaging 7.6 targets per game. Don't sleep on Engram's target potential.
121	TE12	Dallas Goedert	TE	PHI
122	RB42	Cordarrelle Patterson	RB	ATL
123	RB43	Rashaad Penny	RB	SEA
124	RB44	Kenneth Walker	RB	SEA
125	TE13	Robert Tonyan	TE	GB	Tonyan predictably saw massive TD regression in 2021, but he could resume his role as a primary red-zone target for Rodgers with Adams gone.
126	TE14	Mike Gesicki	TE	MIA
127	TE15	Pat Freiermuth	TE	PIT
128	TE16	Logan Thomas	TE	WAS
129	RB45	Mark Ingram	RB	NO	Kamara could face a suspension for his Vegas incident, which means that Ingram could have RB1 upside for a few weeks and a flex thereafter.
130	RB46	Nyheim Hines	RB	IND
131	RB47	Gus Edwards	RB	BAL	With the possibility of Dobbins starting the year on the PUP list, Edwards could be a TD-dependent RB2 to open to season if he's healthy.
132	RB48	Jerick McKinnon	RB	KC	Both Jones and CEH have missed time in recent seasons due to injury, so McKinnon is a great late-round handcuff with RB2 upside.
133	RB49	Tyrion Davis-Price	RB	SF
134	WR52	Kadarius Toney	WR	NYG
135	WR53	Tyler Boyd	WR	CIN
136	WR54	Zay Jones	WR	JAX	JAX paid Jones a 3-year, $24M contract this offseason. He should be a starter opposite Kirk but is somehow going undrafted in many leagues?
137	WR55	Hunter Renfrow	WR	LVR	Like Waller, Adams's presence caps Renfrow's target volume as well after a 2021 season where he captured a 22% team target share.
138	WR56	Rondale Moore	WR	ARI
139	WR57	Jamison Crowder	WR	BUF	Whoever is BUF's starting slot WR will have flex value or more in PPR, so take a shot on Crowder if you think he can stay healthy and Shakir if not.
140	WR58	Khalil Shakir	WR	BUF
141	WR59	Sterling Shepard	WR	NYG
142	RB50	Snoop Conner	RB	JAX
143	RB51	Dameon Pierce	RB	HOU
144	RB52	Rex Burkhead	RB	HOU	Many are high on the rookie Pierce, but it wouldn't be shocking if Burkhead is the most productive HOU RB given his pass-catching role.
145	RB53	Marlon Mack	RB	HOU
146	RB54	Rachaad White	RB	TB	White is likely just a change of pace RB behind Fournette, but he'd have immense upside if Fournette were to miss any time.
147	RB55	Jamaal Williams	RB	DET
148	RB56	Darrell Henderson	RB	LAR
149	TE17	Gerald Everett	TE	LAC
150	TE18	Irv Smith	TE	MIN
151	WR60	Marquez Valdes-Scantling	WR	KC
152	TE19	Albert Okwuegbunam	TE	DEN
153	TE20	Cameron Brate	TE	TB	With Gronk retired for now, Brate assumes the primary pass-catching TE role with Brady, which makes him a TD-dependent fantasy TE2.
154	RB57	Samaje Perine	RB	CIN
155	RB58	Chris Evans	RB	CIN
156	RB59	Trey Sermon	RB	SF
157	QB18	Trevor Lawrence	QB	JAX
158	QB19	Zach Wilson	QB	NYJ
159	QB20	Deshaun Watson	QB	CLE	There's a possibility that Watson could play by the second half of the season, so he's a decent stash if your league allows suspended players on IR.
160	RB60	Tyler Allgeier	RB	ATL
161	RB61	Abram Smith	RB	NO
162	WR61	DeVante Parker	WR	NE
163	WR62	Jameson Williams	WR	DET
164	WR63	Christian Watson	WR	GB
165	WR64	Jahan Dotson	WR	WAS
166	QB21	Jameis Winston	QB	NO
167	QB22	Ryan Tannehill	QB	NYJ
168	RB62	Raheem Mostert	RB	SF
169	RB63	Michael Carter	RB	NYJ
170	WR65	Michael Gallup	WR	DAL
171	WR66	Mecole Hardman	WR	KC
172	TE21	Noah Fant	TE	DEN
173	TE22	Hunter Henry	TE	NE
174	TE23	Tyler Higbee	TE	LAR
175	WR67	Jakobi Meyers	WR	NE
176	WR68	Kendrick Bourne	WR	NE
177	TE24	Austin Hooper	TE	TEN	It wasn't so long ago that Hooper was a TE1 in ATL. He could have a nice bounce back if he develops red-zone rapport with Tannehill.
178	TE25	David Njoku	TE	CLE
179	RB64	D'Onta Foreman	RB	CAR	CAR signing Foreman this offseason could indicate a lack of faith in Hubbard or maybe a GL role for Foreman even with McCaffrey healthy.
180	WR69	K.J. Hamler	WR	DEN
181	WR70	Tim Patrick	WR	DEN
182	WR71	Randall Cobb	WR	GB	Cobb scored 5 TDs in 2021. With his chemistry with Rodgers and Adams gone, he could once again see a bigger target share this season.
183	WR72	Amari Rodgers	WR	GB
184	RB65	Benny Snell	RB	PIT
185	RB66	Chuba Hubbard	RB	CAR
186	WR73	Robby Anderson	WR	CAR
187	WR74	Sammy Watkins	WR	GB
188	RB67	Matt Breida	RB	NYG
189	RB68	James White	RB	NE	White could reclaim his passing-down role, making his current ADP a steal. He could also be cut if not fully healthy, making Strong a sleeper.
190	RB69	Pierre Strong	RB	NE
191	RB70	Keaontay Ingram	RB	ARI
192	RB71	Hassan Haskins	RB	TEN
193	RB72	Dontrell Hilliard	RB	TEN
194	RB73	Kenyan Drake	RB	LVR
195	RB74	Zamir White	RB	LVR
196	RB75	Kenneth Gainwell	RB	PHI
197	RB76	Boston Scott	RB	PHI
198	WR75	Alec Pierce	WR	IND
199	RB77	Brian Robinson Jr.	RB	WAS
200	WR76	Danny Gray	WR	SF
