Tua Tagovailoa to\u00a0Jaylen Waddle\u00a0is a reality we saw unfold last season. Waddle posted nine top-24 PPR finishes \u2014 8th-best at the position and more than Hill did in KC.<\/p>\n<h2>New England Patriots<\/h2>\n<p>Jakobi Meyers &#8211; Finished as a WR4 or better in 80% of his games last season, goes to show how consistent he can be across all weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>New York Jets<\/h2>\n<p>Breece Hall &#8211; It might be weird to pick a rookie as the &#8220;safest&#8221;,\u00a0but h<span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Hall had a wildly productive three-year run at Iowa State and then put on a show at the NFL Scouting Combine, clocking a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash and posting the best vertical jump and third-best broad jump among RBs. He's one of the better RB prospects in recent years, and his pass-catching ability is going to boost his fantasy value right away. We generally don't think of rookies as safe fantasy investments, but Hall has a sturdy floor and a lofty ceiling.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">e\u2019s one of the better RB prospects in recent years, and his pass-catching ability is going to boost his fantasy value right away. We generally don\u2019t think of rookies as safe fantasy investments, but Hall has a sturdy floor and a lofty ceiling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Baltimore Ravens<\/h2>\n<p>Lamar Jackson &#8211; He has never finished lower than 10th amongst QBs in percentages of top-10 finishes. A great rusher and the youngest ever to win MVP, he&#8217;s the safest pick in the Ravens roster.<\/p>\n<h2>Cincinnati Bengals<\/h2>\n<p>Joe Mixon &#8211; Joe Mixon\u00a0was the only RB last season to finish inside the top-36 weekly in a full 16 games played.<\/p>\n<h2>Cleveland Browns<\/h2>\n<p>Nick Chubb &#8211; He has scored at least eight TDs in each of his four NFL seasons. He\u2019s run for 1,000 yards in three straight seasons after finishing with 996 rushing yards as a rookie. He\u2019s also finished in RB1 range in each of the last three seasons \u2014 even in 2020, when he missed four games.<\/p>\n<h2>Pittsburgh Steelers<\/h2>\n<p>Najee Harris &#8211;<span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Volume is king and Najee Harris is living proof. Despite playing on a bottom-feeding offense a season ago, the Steelers RB posted the 3rd-most top-12 finishes and top-24 finishes.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">\u00a0Despite playing on a bottom-feeding offense a season ago, the Steelers RB posted the 3rd-most top-12 finishes and top-24 finishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Houston Texans<\/h2>\n<p>Brandin Cooks &#8211; Brandin Cooks\u00a0finished as a WR2 or better in 53% of his games played last season. That was better or equal to the likes of CeeDee Lamb, Tyreek Hill, Hunter Renfrow, DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Williams, Ja\u2019Marr Chase, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Tee Higgins and Amari Cooper.<\/p>\n<h2>Indianapolis Colts<\/h2>\n<p>Jonathan Taylor &#8211; He<span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Over the last two seasons, Jonathan Taylor has finished first and ninth in the percentage of his games in which he has finished as a top 24 running back. Last year he led all running backs with 75% of his games as a top 12 option at the position. With Taylor's combination of talent and volume, he's the safest bet among rushers. &quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\"> has finished first and ninth in the percentage of his games in which he has finished as a top 24 running back. Last year he led all running backs with 75% of his games as a top 12 option at the position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Jacksonville Jaguars<\/h2>\n<p>Trevor Lawrence &#8211; Trevor Lawrence, the No. 1 pick in the 2021 draft, had a shaky rookie season but is still a Grade A prospect who should find firmer footing in 2022 now that Meyer has been purged and replaced by ex-QB Doug Pederson.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennessee Titans<\/h2>\n<p>Derrick Henry &#8211; <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Key workd being \\&quot;safest\\&quot; not 100% safe, but what RB is? Derrick Henry did play in the playoffs and did have a full, regular, healthy off-season program. You know the offense literally runs through him.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><strong>Derrick Henry<\/strong> did play in the playoffs and did have a full, regular, healthy off-season program. One of the more physically dominant and skilled RBs in the game, he&#8217;s surely the safest pick on a Titans offense with emerging but questionable young players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Denver Broncos<\/h2>\n<p>Russell Wilson &#8211; What we do know is that\u00a0Russell Wilson has finished in QB1 range in 9 of his 10 NFL seasons. He finished in QB2 range last year after missing three games (and a big chunk of a fourth) with a finger injury.<\/p>\n<h2>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h2>\n<p>Travis Kelce &#8211; Travis Kelce\u2019s 73% TE1 finish rate from 2021 ranked No. 1 at the position. With Tyreek Hill gone, his target floor is threatening the ceiling.<\/p>\n<h2>Las Vegas Raiders<\/h2>\n<p>Davante Adams &#8211; <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Davante Adams ASKED for this! He wanted to be with Derek Carr in Vegas. When I think safe, I think talent and Adams is one of the most gifted WR in the NFL. They are going to get him the football.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">Adams is one of the most gifted WRs in the NFL. With an expected higher target share thanks to college buddy Derek Carr, he&#8217;s going to get the football a lot more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Los Angeles Chargers<\/h2>\n<p>Keenan Allen &#8211; He never finished a week last season as a top-6 WR. But he also busted just once in 15 games played.<\/p>\n<h2>Dallas Cowboys<\/h2>\n<p>Dalton Schultz &#8211; H<span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;You may argue that Dalton Schultz already had a breakout in 2021. To that I respond, I think he has elite TE potential in 2022. With Michael Gallup likely to start the year on the PUP, Schultz could become the #2 option in the Dallas passing game and never let that go.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">e has elite TE potential in 2022. With Michael Gallup likely to start the year on the PUP, Schultz could become the #2 option in the Dallas passing game and never let that go. He played all 16 regular season games and busted on fewer than 25% of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>New York Giants<\/h2>\n<p>Sterling Shepard &#8211; When he <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Simply put: When Sterling Shepard is healthy and on the field, he gets peppered with targets. He has been a top-40 wide receiver in terms of fantasy points per game (PPR) over the past three seasons, commanding nearly eight targets per game. &quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">is healthy and on the field, he gets peppered with targets. He has been a top-40 wide receiver in terms of fantasy points per game (PPR) over the past three seasons, commanding nearly eight targets per game.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Philadelphia Eagles<\/h2>\n<p>Jalen Hurts &#8211; Jalen Hurts\u00a0has been a top-12 fantasy quarterback at an 85% hit rate in the 20 games he\u2019s played all four quarters. And there\u2019s no reason to think that Hurts won\u2019t continue producing in fantasy with the addition of A.J. Brown<\/p>\n<h2>Washington Commanders<\/h2>\n<p>Terry McLaurin &#8211; <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;McLaurin has been one of the few stable components of a perennially unstable Washington offense. He's gone over 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons, and he probably would have gone 3-for-3 had he not missed a pair of games as a rookie and fallen 81 yards short. Even though the Commanders spent a first-round draft pick on WR Jahan Dotson, McLaurin is expected to be the go-to receiver for new QB Carson Wentz.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">He\u2019s gone over 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons, and he probably would have gone 3-for-3 had he not missed a pair of games as a rookie and fallen 81 yards short. McLaurin is expected to be the go-to receiver for new QB Carson Wentz.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"fp-icon__container\">Chicago Bears<\/h2>\n<p>Darnell Mooney &#8211; <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Darnell Mooney is the man in Chicago, and by man I mean the only WR I can even consider drafting. I've loved Mooney since his rookie year when he was fighting for balls like a mad man against the Bucs ina primetime game. He's the WR1 in CHI, but a WR2 in fantasy.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">He\u2019s the WR1 in CHI, but a WR2 in fantasy, with the receiving volume he&#8217;s had.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Detroit Lions<\/h2>\n<p>D&#8217;Andre Swift &#8211; D\u2019Andre Swift teased some lofty potential in 2021, and you know he\u2019s a true bell cow back. The Lions have to get Swift plenty of action if the offense is going to make improvements year over year.<\/p>\n<h2>Green Bay Packers<\/h2>\n<p>A.J. Dillon &#8211; Dillon has averaged more than Jones. Dillon also took over as the Packers\u2019 goal-line back late in the season. Dillon has also proven himself to be a better receiver than advertised, catching 34 of 37 targets last year. Dillon is going to be an important part of a top offense.<\/p>\n<h2>Minnesota Vikings<\/h2>\n<p>Justin Jefferson &#8211; Justin Jefferson\u00a0may be the safest investment of any elite WR. Cooper Kupp is coming off a gigantic workload and you can argue Jefferson is not only the safest Viking, but also the safest fantasy receiver there is.<\/p>\n<h2>Atlanta Falcons<\/h2>\n<p>Kyle Pitts &#8211; Kyle Pitts\u00a0was glorious last season, despite playing for an abysmal offense and scoring one lousy TD. In terms of volume, Pitts will continue to see plenty of it and that makes him a safe investment, even if the Falcons offense caps his ceiling again.<\/p>\n<h2>Carolina Panthers<\/h2>\n<p>D.J. Moore &#8211; 1.2K yards and 4 TDs, every year, the same deal. What\u00a0D.J. Moore lacks in upside, he makes up for with floor.<\/p>\n<h2>New Orleans Saints<\/h2>\n<p>Jarvis Landry &#8211; Alvin Kamara is facing a suspension, Michael Thomas is trying to come back from a major foot injury, Chris Olave is a rookie, and Jameis Winston is rarely described as a safe fantasy option. That leaves\u00a0Jarvis Landry, a reliable slot man and possession receiver who had only missed one game in seven seasons before missing multiple games with a knee injury in 2021.<\/p>\n<h2>Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/h2>\n<p>Mike Evans &#8211; <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Mike Evans has averages over 1K yards and 13.5 TDs since Tom Brady rolled into town. He has 1K yards in all eight of his NFL season. He is Mr. Consistency.&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><strong>Mike Evans<\/strong> has averaged over 1K yards and 13.5 TDs since Tom Brady rolled into town. He has 1K yards in all eight of his NFL season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Arizona Cardinals<\/h2>\n<p>Kyler Murray &#8211; Kyler Murray\u00a0is Arizona\u2019s safest fantasy option. In his first three seasons, he\u2019s averaged 18.6, 24.4 and 22.2 fantasy points per game.<\/p>\n<h2>Los Angeles Rams<\/h2>\n<p>Cooper Kupp &#8211; Cooper Kupp\u00a0finished as a top-12 WR in 81% of his games last season. Next closest was Davante Adams at 47%.<\/p>\n<h2>San Francisco 49ers<\/h2>\n<p>Deebo Samuel &#8211;\u00a0Deebo Samuel\u00a0is the weapon of choice. Sure, he may lose some of those valuable carries year over year, but he remains the playmaker to get the ball to, and that matters.<\/p>\n<h2>Seattle Seahawks<\/h2>\n<p>Kenneth Walker &#8211;\u00a0Seahawks ground and pound approach should provide a secure floor to whichever RB is deemed healthy enough to play. Last season, Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny finished as top-24 backs in six of their 13 combined starts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You can&#39;t win your draft in Round 1, but you sure can lose it.
