The 2022 NFL Draft (April 28-30) may not deliver splash receiver prospects, but the rookie production from recent classes is too good to ignore.
The latest game-breaking trend has been the impact of rookie wide receivers. A.J. Brown posted over 1,000 yards and nine total TDs in 2019. Justin Jefferson broke the mold with 1,400 receiving yards and seven TDs in 2020 and Ja’Marr Chase outdid them both with 1,455 receiving yards and 13 TDs in 2021. Identifying the next big thing can launch your team into the fantasy postseason.
The NFL Combine (March 1-7) will help us take a closer look at all the prospects, but most of what we need to know has already been played out on the field and put on tape.
