Undervalued Fantasy Football Sleeper: Allen Lazard

Allen Lazard 2022 Fantasy Football Outlook

Allen Lazard could be the leading wide receiver for the Packers this season. The chemistry with Lazard and Rodgers has been battle-tested. Lazard wins with regularity in the areas of the field where Rodgers likes to pepper targets. Over the last three seasons, Rodgers has ranked 13th, 8th, and 13th in pass attempts between 0-9 yards from the line of scrimmage (per PFF). Over that same timespan, Lazard has ranked seventh, first, and 25th in yards per route in this area of the field (minimum 20 short-area targets, per PFF). If Lazard assumes the lead role, he’ll be a massive value in all formats.

Aaron Rodgers trusts Lazard after they have spent the last four seasons together, and their chemistry was on full display over the final 5 weeks of the 2021 regular season.

Lazard was the WR8 in PPR scoring on the back of 21 receptions for 290 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

Someone on Green Bay will have to replace Davante Adams’ elite red-zone production, and Lazard looks to fit the mold at 6-foot-5.
