Will the Ravens revert back to their 2019 run-heavy offense?

QB Lamar Jackson’s passing efficiency has declined each year since his 2019 MVP campaign (8.9 adjusted yards per attempt in 2019, 7.6 and 6.9 in 2020-21), and the Ravens traded away No. 1 WR Marquise Brown this offseason, so they could lean more on the running game this year. If the Ravens run as much as they did in 2019, when they had a league-high 54.1% rush rate, then RBs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards will likely both offer fantasy value while TE Mark Andrews and WR Rashod Bateman could underperform expectations.

Who will be Russell Wilson’s go-to wide receiver?

Cover your eyes, Jerry Jeudy believers. While Jeudy did take a step forward last season, ranking 24th in yards per route run (minimum 50 targets, per PFF), he has never displayed elite-level target earning ability and won’t be the deep threat in the offense. In his two seasons, Jeudy has ranked 30th and 35th in targets rate per route run. Sutton dipped to 62nd in this metric last year, but if we peer back to 2019, he was 13th while also ranking 12th in yards per route run (minimum 50 targets, per PFF).

The downfield role with Russell Wilson is huge. Wilson has ranked second, tenth, and second over the last three seasons in deep ball rate (minimum 20 deep attempts, per PFF). Only 22.5% of Jeudy’s career targets have been 20-plus yards down the field, where he’s struggled with 55.7 and 67.1 passer ratings when targeted. Last season Sutton ranked second in aDOT and sixth in deep targets. Jeudy can log a productive season with Wilson in 2022, but Sutton will be the king of the Mile High castle.

Will the Eagles pass more this season?

The way the Eagles started last season, coupled with beat writer buzz and their offseason moves, suggest so. Adding one of the NFL’s most efficient wide receivers in A.J. Brown to DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert is a godsend for Jalen Hurts and should have this coaching staff inclined to dial up the passing. Philadelphia was sixth and first in neutral passing rate and pace through their first six games before they realized they didn’t have the personnel to keep it up. With the players now in house to help maximize the Eagles’ offense, look for them to revert to passing in 2022.

Will Deshaun Watson play in 2022?

If QB Deshaun Watson plays for even half of the 2022 season, then the Browns have a shot of competing for a Super Bowl, and most of their skill-position players will offer value at their current ADPs. If, however, Watson misses a supermajority of the year, then not even RB Nick Chubb will be a player I’ll want much exposure to in fantasy.

Will Davante Adams launch Derek Carr’s fantasy numbers?

Derek Carr’s 3.7 TD rate in 2021 was below his career average (4.3). His 23 total passing touchdowns were seven below expectation. He’s never had a receiver catch double-digit TDs. Davante Adams has averaged double-digit scores since 2016.

Can Justin Fields overcome his horrible situation?

The Bears needed to add more WRs and OL this offseason, but hardly made any major moves at either position. Justin Fields was frequently running for his life last season, and that doesn’t project to change. However, he should be up for the task after he averaged 56 rushing yards per game over his last six contests.

Is Matt Ryan still a good quarterback?

Already without longtime No. 1 WR Julio Jones, QB Matt Ryan last year lost new No. 1 WR Calvin Ridley in the middle of the season, and that drastically impacted his numbers. With Ridley, Ryan had 265.2 yards and 2.4 touchdowns passing; without Ridley, just 219.5 and 0.83. Perhaps Ryan is actually still a good passer — and if he is then the Colts’ offense could be a top-10 unit.

Can Zach Wilson do enough in the Jets’ offense?

The Jets offense has all the pieces to be awesome for fantasy football. It’s just up to Zach Wilson to take a step forward in Year 2 to make it happen. His rookie year was horrible, but he did at least improve in the second half. And although he never seemed to support fantasy viable weapons, he actually did pepper his No. 1 target. Corey Davis, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios — when operating as the clear No. 1 — combined for a 24% target share (7.5 targets per game) and 14.2 fantasy points per game (WR25 last season) in the 11 games that Wilson started/completed last season.

Can Tua Tagovailoa support both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle?

The biggest hindrance to these wideouts paying off at their current ADPs is the Dolphins’ pace and passing rate projection, not Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa was among the most accurate passers in the NFL last season. He ranked 17th in fantasy points per dropback while also finishing top ten in deep, pressured, and clean pocket completion rates. If Mike McDaniel deploys a slower run-heavy scheme, the overall passing volume could suffer.

When will Kenny Pickett see the field?

Word out of Steelers’ camp is Mitch Trubisky is the favorite to start right now. It’s early to proclaim him the signal-caller for Week 1, but it’s possible. If Trubisky is anything close to the disaster the last time we saw him as a starter, the Steelers will quickly have Kenny Pickett under center.

In 2019 and 2020, Trubisky finished with the fifth and seventh-lowest PFF grades for quarterbacks with at least 200 dropbacks. He also logged the seventh and fourth-lowest adjusted completion rates among the same quarterback sample. The camp reports demand monitoring throughout the offseason, but I still peg Kenny Pickett as the Week 1 starter.
