Action Network fantasy football experts Chris Raybon and Sean "The Oddsmaker" Koerner are back to deliver an eight-part series, breaking down each team by division for the upcoming 2022 NFL season. They'll evaluate fantasy-relevant players' average draft position plus any potential sleepers or bust candidates to get you prepped for best ball and redraft leagues.
This week, the duo covers the AFC South and starts things off with Indianapolis Colts. Matt Ryan, aka Matty Ice, is now the starting QB [2 MIN] and looks like he's more equipped offensively than in years past. In most formats, Jonathan Taylor remains the RB1, but will Michael Pittman shine as the WR1? Who will win out between Parris Campbell and rookie Alec Pierce? Are the comps to Jordy Nelson justified?
Next, they discuss the Tennessee Titans [18 MIN] and whether now might be the time to fade Derrick Henry at age 27, coming off an injury-plagued 2021 season. QB Ryan Tannehill is without A.J. Brown now, so how is his outlook with rookie Treylon Burks potentially stepping into the WR1 role? Is the addition of veteran WR Robert Woods enough to keep Tannehill's draft stock alive?
And what about the Urban Meyer-less Jacksonville Jaguars [31 MIN]. Does Trevor Lawrence have some appeal as a low-end QB1 with rushing upside? The RB room looks bleak, and Travis Ettiene has emerged as the lead back. Is he a sleeper worth paying up for? Christian Kirk got the BAG. But will free agent WR Zay Jones be a valuable option that could cut into Kirks' production?
They close things out with the lowly Houston Texans [45 MIN]. Davis Mills is the likely starter which should bode well for WR Brandin Cooks. However, will Rex Burkhead and Marlon Mack battle it out for RB1 duties? Or will the rookie Dameon Pierce be worth a flier to overtake them on the depth chart?
Make sure to subscribe, rate, and review to hear each division in this eight-part series. Raybon and Koerner will be back next week to cover the NFC South, so stay tuned!
