When the NFL Draft concludes, fantasy football dynasty draft season begins and it is a glorious time. After months of watching film, breaking down analytics, and measuring up potential fits, we now know where all the coveted NFL rookies were selected and it is time to see the fantasy fallout.
After ranking the 2022 dynasty rookie RBs, I’m now presenting my picks for the top-25 rookie wide receivers. The more I’ve watched this class the more I’ve liked it. It might lack depth, but there’s plenty to like in this first-year crop.
Here are my 2022 rookie wideout rankings and how I’ll be approaching rookie-only drafts this season.
FullTime Fantasy’s 2022 Dynasty Rookie Rankings.
Immediate Impact Starters
Drake London (Atlanta Falcons) – As the draft drew closer, it became apparent that London had a real shot at being the first widout selected and that’s exactly what transpired. London is huge (6-4, 219) and has the wheels to be a formidable downfield threat. He also walks into a situation where he’ll undoubtedly be Atlanta’s No. 1 wide receiver and should be peppered with targets from Day One. While the Falcons are projected to be one of the five worst squads in football, London should capitalize with massive volume and has major red-zone appeal. He’s my No. 1 rookie wideout and should contend for weekly WR2 status.
Garret Wilson (New York Jets) – A versatile weapon from Ohio State, Wilson has the twitchy moves and route running to be a dangerous threat around the line of scrimmage but also has enough jets (4.38 speed) to be a dangerous downfield weapon from the perimeter or inside. Wilson’s 91.8 PFF grade against single coverage was the second-highest in FBS and he’s also adept at going over the middle to reel in tough catches. He’s a complete receiver and gives the Jets an intriguing group of skill-position talent to support sophomore QB Zach Wilson.
Treylon Burks (Tennessee Titans) – The shocking draft-day trade of A.J. Brown to Philadelphia opens the door for Burks to potentially emerge as Tennessee’s No. 1 perimeter wideout as early as 2022. The ironic thing in that trade is that the explosive Burks was often comped to Brown as a sizable downfield weapon who has the size and strength to create a ton of yards after catch and break tackles. He’ll get the opportunity to shine right away in Brown’s old spot and should benefit from the presence of a healthy Robert Woods.

2022 Dynasty Rookie RB Rankings
For dynasty fantasy enthusiasts, the NFL Draft is the highlight of the entire season. All that hard work put into scouting, film, and rookie profiles finally play out and we get to see the results take place at the draft.
Now that we know the final landing spots of all the 2022 NFL rookies, it’s time to adjust our rankings and rank the 2022 rookie class of running backs.
Following up on my pre-draft rookie rankings, here is my updated approach to how I will be approaching rookie-only drafts in 2022 and how I value the next crop of rookie rushers.
Early-Round Targets
1. Breece Hall (New York Jets) – The pre-draft 1.01, Hall was the first running back selected but wasn’t targeted until the fourth pick of Round Two. Hall’s landing spot was fine, as the Jets seemed to walk away with an impressive draft haul. However, New York also has sophomore Michael Carter on the roster, who was a popular sleeper pick in early ADP.
Expect Robert Saleh to employ a full-blown backfield by committee, with Hall as the 1A to Carter’s change-of-pace and pass-catching role. While not ideal from a fantasy perspective, Hall’s size, speed, and three-down ability should give him the edge in an ascending offense.
2. Kenneth Walker III (Seattle Seahawks) – Speaking of committee backfields, the Seahawks have three capable runners in the fold and will be a tough team to handicap. Chris Carson is expected to be fully healthy and the club also re-signed Rashaad Penny, who single-handedly won many a fantasy league with his late-season performance last year.
Walker may not have an expansive role right away, but he also boasts three-down ability and finished second in this class in explosive rush rate. Regardless of Walker’s 2022 role, both Carson and Penny are in the final year of their contracts, which opens the door for Walker to possibly be the undisputed starter in 2023.
3. Dameon Pierce (Houston Texans) – As we say often, opportunity is everything in fantasy football. And when it comes to opportunity, Pierce appears to have the best shot at opening 2022 with a starting role. All that stands in the way of the fourth-rounder from starting is aging Rex Burkhead and Marlon Mack.
Pierce flashed dynamic upside, ranking second in FBS in missed tackles forced and fourth in yards created per attempt. He was also PFF’s top-graded receiving back in all of FBS and has a pretty clear path to immediate playing time.
4. Rachaad White (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) – Leonard Fournette re-signed with the Bucs but Tampa has little established depth behind their workhorse. White is an outstanding pass-catcher who could start contributing right away. At USC, White showed up outstanding versatility by lining up all over the field. He also has good size (6-0, 218) and boasted an 89th-percentile speed score.
Fournette is likely to remain Tampa’s lead dog but White was one of the top pass-catching options in this class and will give the Bucs a legitimate weapon that offers more three-down ability than Ronald Jones.
5. James Cook (Buffalo Bills) – Zay Jones truthers should be concerned because Cook is an excellent pass-catcher and Jones had clearly fallen out of favor by December. While Devin Singletary remains entrenched as the starter, he’s entering the final year of his rookie deal. Cook is actually bigger than Singletary and ran a 94th-percentile 4.42 40-yard dash. The former Georgia Bulldog has a good shot at being fantasy-relevant quite early on.

Rookie Scouting Profile: RB Isaiah Spiller
Isaiah Spiller (RB) Texas A&M Height Weight 40-Time DOB NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 6-0 217 — 08/09/2001 2-3 1.05 Arian Foster College Production A sizable power back with solid receiving skills, Spiller posted consecutive seasons with 1000-plus rushing yards after debuting in 2019 with 174 totes for 946 yards and a career-high 10 rushing scores. As a testament to his three-down skill set, Spiller reeled in 20-plus in each of his three campaigns with the Aggies. Was named to the All-SEC First Team in 2020 and earned Second Team accolades in 2021 after averaging 5.6 yards per carry, the highest of his collegiate career. Spiller displayed the size and strength to be a plus short-yardage option in the NFL and was more than adequate as a pass-catcher. Strengths • Nice blend of size and power. Powerful legs churned out extra yards while he also was willing to lower his head and deliver blows to would-be tacklers. • Displayed the foot quickness, cutting ability, and decisiveness to excel in a zone scheme. • Excellent vision and ability to consistently make correct decisions in choosing proper running lanes and cuts in the backfield. • Seemed to be gliding as a runner, with good anticipation. Keeps feet moving to churn out plenty of yards after contact. • Good receiver who snagged 20-plus balls in each of his three collegiate seasons. Hands are good enough for Spiller to stay on the field on third downs. • Has the ability to play in all situations, including 2-minute drills, third downs, and has the profile to develop into a plus goal-line option. Weaknesses • Did not run at the Combine and does not have elite speed. Projected to run somewhere between 4.5 and 4.6. • Has ball security issues. Committed 8 fumbles at A&M, some of which resulted in carrying the ball carelessly or leaving himself open to having ball punched out from behind. • Upright running style could leave him susceptible to big hits, leading to the potential for injuries and the potential to turn the ball over. • Adequate blocker but will need to improve in this area against faster and stronger NFL pass-rushers to earn consistent playing time early. Fantasy Outlook Spiller is often comped to Arian Foster due to the latter’s success as a three-down, one-cut runner that lacked top-end speed. Spiller probably has better power than Foster but has yet to show the breakaway ability to consistently run away from defenders. Injuries prevented Spiller from participating in most of the on-field drills at the NFL Scouting Combine, which will temporarily hurt his fantasy football value in both redraft and dynasty. A solid showing at the Texas A&M Pro Day could reverse that, particularly if Spiller can run in the low 4.5s. Landing spot will also be key and worrisome if Spiller slips into the middle part of the third round of the NFL Draft and lands with a pro team that already has an established starter. For now, Spiller is still a top-3 fantasy prospect and will warrant top-10 attention in rookie-only drafts, after Breece Hall and the top 3-4 wideouts.
2021 Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings
Here are this year’s NFL Rookies based on our Fulltime Fantasy Rankings. Ranking the top first-year players heading into the 2021 fantasy football season. Rankings based on a single QB, PPR scoring format. Najee Harris (RB) Pittsburgh Steelers – Harris is the ideal case of talent meeting opportunity, making him the undisputed top rookie in Fantasy Football this season. The Alabama product is a 230-pound workhorse back with the high-end pass-catching ability to pair with his rushing skills. While there are some concerns in regards to the Steelers offensive line, the high volume should negate those concerns. The Steelers historically prefer to go with an every-down back and everything we’ve seen this preseason points to Harris staying on the field for the vast majority of plays this season. He’s a true RB1 whose upside is the RB1 in all of Fantasy Football in 2021. Kyle Pitts (TE) Atlanta Falcons – The phrase “generational talent” is thrown around far too often in the Fantasy community, but Pitts is just that. He may be the greatest prospect we’ve ever seen at the position and he steps right into a high-volume passing offense trying to fill a void left by Julio Jones in Atlanta. While the hype has cooled down a bit on Pitts since he was the clear-cut TE4 earlier this summer, he’s still being drafted as an elite option, and rightfully so. The sky is the limit for this freak athlete who should be just as dangerous stretching the field as he is dominating mismatches in the red zone. Trey Sermon (RB) San Francisco 49ers – Draft Sermon and thank me later. He is a league winner and an absolute steal coming off the board as the RB30. The 49ers system pumps out Fantasy gold at the running back position and not only is Sermon the only workhorse on the roster, but his biggest competition for touches in Raheem Mostert is also already hurt as he seemingly always is. Look for Sermon to take over the lead role in San Fran early in the season and never look back. He is going to help a lot of Fantasy teams win championships in 2021. DeVonta Smith (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – The Heisman Trophy winner may be the third-best receiver in his draft class, however, he fell into the best situation for Fantasy owners. Smith will immediately step in as the WR1 in Philly and there is no reason why he won’t lead all rookie wideouts in targets. With elite speed and route-running ability, his upside is immense and the only thing that could hold him back is his undersized frame and potential poor quarterback play. It’s tough to find a reason to pull the trigger on any other rookie wide receiver before Smith. Ja’ Marr Chase (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Chase is hands down the best wideout in this rookie class. He’s built to be an all-world WR1. However, he does have some things working against him heading into his rookie season while dropped him to No. 5 on this list. While I’m going to point out the reasons he’s so low, don’t take the negative outlook as a knock on his talent. In Dynasty he’s the clear WR1 in his draft class. Nonetheless, he enters the season coming off a subpar preseason after sitting out all of 2020, and the rust has shown. On top of his layoff, he’ll be competing with two other outstanding wideouts in Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd for targets in a Bengals offense that probably isn’t going to be anywhere near the top of the league. The reason being is that the offensive line is still terrible and they will be attempting to protect quarterback Joe Burrow who is coming off a major knee construction and has reportedly struggled in camp this summer. It will likely take Chase a year or two to meet his full potential in Cincinnati. Javonte Williams (RB) Denver Broncos – It’s a matter of when not if Williams will take over as the lead back in Denver. However, Melvin Gordon isn’t likely just going away anytime this season. Gordon will likely start the season as the starter and play a major role most of the season. Particularly in the passing game. Williams should still play a big part himself and by midseason be splitting touches if not shouldering the majority of the early-down and goal-line work. Williams is a talented back with the skill set to eventually become an every-down back. Nevertheless, barring an injury his upside in 2021 is capped by the presence of Gordon. Trevor Lawrence (QB) Jacksonville Jaguars – It feels like Lawrence was so far and away, the best quarterback in his draft that people have almost begun to ignore him. There was nothing to critique and break down. There was no one to compare him to. We knew for almost three years he’d be the top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and now he seems to be underappreciated. Don’t fall victim to this mindset or the hype surrounding other rookie quarterbacks. Lawrence is by far the best passer in his class and has the legs to be an elite runner too. With weapons on the outside like DJ Chark, Laviska Shenault, and Marvin Jones he could have a monster season. Do not fall victim to the fatigue that seems to be plaguing the Fantasy community when it comes to Lawrence. Jaylen Waddle (WR) Miami Dolphins – Waddle was Tua’s go-to guy at Alabama and that trend has continued right into the Dolphins training camp this year. Miami drafted him sixth overall this year and his playstyle draws comparisons to Tyreek Hill. He’s an outstanding route runner with the quickness to create separation from any defensive backs. The only reason Waddle isn’t ranked higher is that there are a lot of mouths to feed in Miami and while Tua has looked great this summer, he still has to prove he is capable of feeding those
Superflex Dynasty Rookie Rankings – Round One
SuperFlex leagues are becoming more popular each year with the glut of the position of quarterback becomes more prevalent across the fantasy landscape. Seems every team even in 12 team leagues has 2 quality options to choose from on most
1. Trevor Lawrence, QB – Jaguars
Lawrence is a no-brainer at the top of any quarterback premium formats. He enters the NFL with top-10 dynasty value at his position and will be in position to further improve upon that value. The Urban Meyer-led offense is sneakily loaded with playmakers who will flourish under the arm talent of Lawrence. Expect DJ Chark and Marvin Jones to man the outside while second-year breakout candidate Laviska Shenault operates out of the slot. The dangerous tandem of Travis Etienne and James Robinson will provide a nice security blanket out of the backfield. Fire away with Lawrence at 1.01.
2. Justin Fields, QB – Bears
Despite being the fourth quarterback taken in the NFL draft, Justin Fields sits just below Lawrence at second overall due to his combination of elite arm and leg talent. Once the Bears bench Andy Dalton after four games, Fields will step in and immediately pay dividends for fantasy owners. A Dak Prescott-like rookie season is within reach with Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney being a thunder and lightning duo on the outside. Matt Nagy’s play calling will improve with the rookie phenom at the helm of the offense.

The influx of running backs from the 2020 draft class spoiled fantasy football owners throughout last season and continuing into this offseason. If an owner took a chance on one of the consensus’ top seven or eight at the position, it was nearly impossible to find a “bust.” The downside, however, is the class filled a majority of the prime landing spots, leaving few available for the incoming 2021 class. What can we expect from this group of running backs this year after the bar was set highly in 2020? The Sure-Fire Starters Najee Harris – Alabama / 6’1” – 225 lbs Harris is the newest ‘Bama product at the running back position to enter the NFL after proving to be an absolute tank at the collegiate level. Coming off of back-to-back seasons where he produced at least 1,500 yards from scrimmage, Harris sits atop the 2021 class as a day-one starter for both his NFL team and all fantasy squads. With only 638 rushing attempts to his name, the tires have miles and miles of tread left despite being one of the older rookie backs in the class. As for his play style, Harris is a well-built all-around back who shows a thrilling combination of power and elusiveness. He does a great job of following his blockers and waiting for the scheme to open a lane. He is a comfortable pass catcher out of the backfield and will be solid in pass protection. Whether he will run over defenders or make them completely whiff is his decision, which will frighten opposing defensive coordinators weeks before they face him. Grade: High-end starter NFL Draft Projection: Late 1st – Early 2nd Projected DFWC ADP: 1.01 Comparison: A healthy James Conner on steroids Bottom Line: Harris will step in and become an immediate stud for his team and all fantasy teams, no matter the format. Don’t miss your chance on Najee Harris. Javonte Williams – North Carolina / 5’10” 220 lbs This is reserved for our Premium Members. Click here to read the Member version or click here to subscribe. Travis Etienne – Clemson / 5’10” – 210 lbs Etienne leaves the Tigers with one of the most impressive resumes to date. He averaged more than 1,700 yards from scrimmage throughout his final three years in the NCAA. Though many believed he was going to be a part of the 2020 class, Etienne shocked the world and chose to return for his senior season in 2021. In doing so, he showed definite improvement as a pass catcher, which was the biggest question mark about his projection to the NFL. Etienne is an explosive one-cut runner who will accelerate quicker than anyone else on the field. He bounces off tacklers and runs through contact at a high level. He vastly improved as a receiver, so expect a fair share of targets as a rookie. He may run into some trouble with his flexibility as he struggles to avoid contact far too often. He lacks shiftiness and is more straight-line than many want to believe. Etienne is wildly inconsistent in pass protection, which could limit his snaps on third down throughout his first couple years in the league. Grade: Starter with limitations NFL Draft Projection: 2nd Projected DFWC ADP: 1.03 Comparison: Kenyan Drake (floor) – Aaron Jones (ceiling) Bottom Line: Etienne will have an explosive, yet short-lived window of production in the NFL. Ignore the Kamara comparisons and be ready to sell after an early peak. Kenneth Gainwell – Memphis / 5’10” – 201 lbs This is reserved for our Premium Members.
