Late-Round Draft Targets : Fantasy Football 2022
Some people believe that fantasy football wins are all about getting players in the late round that explode and produce big fantasy points. From sleepers to possibly being completely undrafted in most leagues, here’s a list of late-round picks you should look out for.
Mac Jones (New England Patriots, QB)
In Jones’ last four non-Bills games, he averaged 19.2 Fantasy Points per game. That would have been QB11 last season. He was also top-15 in yards and touchdowns and stands to have good points for a late-round pick.
Now with an entire offseason as the QB1 and more trust from Bill Belichick, Jones could make a second-year leap. For someone who drafted Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, Jones is not a bad second quarterback to have should one of the old guys fall off.

Mark Ingram II (New Orleans Saints, RB)
While it’s unsure what’s going to happen because his case was pushed back, Saints’ Alvin Kamara might face a six-game suspension after he was arrested on Pro Bowl day. If that happens, Ingram is the only other proven player that can take his place as RB1 in the meantime.
Even when Kamara is playing, Ingram has shown he can be the thunder in the Saints’ two-headed backfield monster. Ingram cracking double digits in end zone spikes is certainly a possibility.

Skyy Moore (Kansas City Chiefs, WR)
More Football Fantasy Data:
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore has more opportunity as the vacancies of Tyreek Hill, Byron Pringle, and Demarcus Robinson resulted in 260 targets vacated. While there’s players like Juju Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, they’ve been disappointing the past few years.
Moore could emerge as the No.1 WR for Mahomes. He has the route-running skills to play in the slot, the speed to play on the perimeter and the second-round draft capital and high-end college production to be an impact NFL player.

Hassan Haskins (Tennessee Titans, RB)
Tennessee Titans’ RB Derrick Henry is coming back to play after suffering a broken foot in the middle of Week 8 last season. Most people suspected that it was attributed to him having a large workload.
If that’s the case, the Titans will most likely work to keep their best player healthy by having other players get greater share percentages. Hassan Haskins is the best player to immediately replace Henry in a game, so his stats might get a big boost next season as well.

Hassan Haskins breaks faces.
Haskins is 6'2" and 230 lbs of mean intentions when the rock is in his hands.
The NFL is going to like this kid a lot more than the fantasy community does.
