Let's keep it going!

Let's start with QB.

Last season, he finished as the overall QB6.

Over his final 5 games, he threw for 14 touchdowns with a 75.3% comp. rate .

Dak also threw 14 over this span (1st in the NFL), but he needed 22 more attempts.

The biggest problem is his team's roster to start 2022.

It's a team in transition, and they are expected to be more run-heavy.

This QB was No.3 in Red Zone Attempts last season and No.5 in Money Throws (PlayerProfiler).

But here is the kicker.

He lost his game-breaking WR with whom he formed the most feared combo in the league over the past few seasons.

The two combined for 64 TDs since 2016. The next highest pair over that time span has 41 (@AndrewErickson_ - FantasyPros).

This player tossed 48 TDs in 2020 and 37 in 2021.

Will we see those TD numbers take a nose-dive in 2022?

Ceiling still matters at this point of our fantasy drafts.

His WR targets are either aging or unproven.

The QB you should do your best to avoid in 2022 is...

Aaron Rodgers (GB) ADP 110.7, QB14.

Let your friends draft this RB in fantasy football (and thank me later):

He's being drafted around multiple RBs with huge question marks heading into '22.

Including guys like Clyde Edwards-Helaire (KC) and Damien Harris (NE).

As bad as I think they could be at their ADP in the 80s/90s...

I think this player will be worse.

Maybe not to start the season, but it's likely we will see a committee soon enough.

Because the problem is...

This player is HIGHLY injury-prone.

He played in 13 games in 2018 as a rookie.

Just 22-of-49 games over his last 3 seasons.

He finished '21 strong, but recency bias and a $5M contract are spiking his value.

He's not a pass-catching threat, with only six catches the entire 2021 season.

The efficiency was great, admittedly.

No.1 in yards per touch and No.1 in breakaway run rate (Player Profiler).

He was the fantasy RB1 over the final five weeks of the season.

But it's hard to foresee him staying healthy long enough to repeat those numbers.

Despite the new contract, his team spent a 2nd round draft pick on another back.

A prospect who scored 19 TDs & rushed for 1,636 yards on 263 carries in '21.

It's possible HE'S the every down back this team has been searching for.

One more thing... before you go.

It's not good.

The team just lost their franchise QB, so this backfield will see more loaded boxes.

The RB that you shouldn't touch at his ADP is...

Rashaad Penny (SEA) ADP 90.8, RB29
