Round 7 One-Sentence Summaries
| ADP | Player | Team | Position | ADP | One-Sentence Summary |
| 73 | Miles Sanders | PHI | RB-27 | 7.01 | Sanders had 163 touches without a touchdown last year, over the last five seasons running backs with between 160-170 touches averaged 5 touchdowns, suggesting a luck reversal is in the cards for 2022. |
| 74 | Dallas Goedert | PHI | TE-8 | 7.02 | Dallas Goedert finally broke out without Zach Ertz last season, averaging 11.9 PPR points per game without Ertz, en route to finishing as TE6 from weeks seven through eighteen. |
| 75 | DeAndre Hopkins | ARI | WR-31 | 7.03 | Nuk Hopkins will miss the first six games of 2022 due to a PED suspension, and will need to bounce back from the lowest targets, receptions, and yardages per game since his rookie year; 2021 was the first time he dropped below 79 yards per game since 2016. |
| 76 | Damien Harris | NE | RB-28 | 7.04 | Damien Harris finished fifth in total RB touchdowns last season, and that still only helped him finish as RB18 in points per game; his lack of receptions (18 on the year) drives down his value, as does the looming specter of Rhamondre StevenSZN. |
| 77 | Russell Wilson | DEN | QB-10 | 7.05 | Wilson averages the eleventh-most points per game since he joined the league, and that list includes three retired players; he’s entering the best situation of his career in Denver, and QB10 is his floor. |
| 78 | Hunter Renfrow | LV | WR-32 | 7.06 | Renfrow is the most likely to be the odd man out in Las Vegas now that Davante Adams joined town, but the Raiders will also lose 189 wide receiver targets from last season… so maybe not? |
| 79 | Rashod Bateman | BAL | WR-33 | 7.07 | The first-round sophomore will be the only wide receiver in town for Baltimore, as Rashod Bateman’s 68 targets in 12 games is more than every other WR combined (except Devin Duvernay, who has 73 targets across two seasons). |
| 80 | Elijah Moore | NYJ | WR-34 | 7.08 | Zach Wilson and Elijah Moore failed to get on the same page last season (Moore averaged just 7.8 PPR points per game with Wilson and 20.9 without him), and the Jets spent a top-ten pick on a wide receiver this year. |
| 81 | Michael Thomas | NO | WR-35 | 7.09 | Michael Thomas will not end up in the seventh round; the former dynasty #1 overall pick has a full bill of health and is primed to finish the year as a top-fifteen wide receiver. |
| 82 | DeVonta Smith | PHI | WR-36 | 7.10 | Smith was one of four rookie wide receivers to finish with 100+ targets and 900+ yards, joining Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaylen Waddle, and, of course, Ja’Marr Chase; the seven rookie WR to do this in the last two seasons is 28% of those to do it since 2000. |
| 83 | Aaron Rodgers | GB | QB-11 | 7.11 | Aaron Rodgers spends his offseason doing four things: his own research, ayahuasca, losing stud wide receivers, and signing massive deals; I fear the weaponry won’t be good enough to justify taking Rodgers at this spot, but if anyone could shut me up, it would be Rodgers. |
| 84 | Matthew Stafford | LAR | QB-12 | 7.12 | Matthew Stafford is dealing with an elbow issue that has left him not throwing the football in camp and was described as “unusual” and “not what you usually see in a quarterback” by the Rams; that’s bad! |
Round 8 One-Sentence Summaries
| ADP | Player | Team | Position | ADP | One-Sentence Summary |
| 85 | Devin Singletary | BUF | RB-29 | 8.01 | Singletary averaged 15 carries and 2.6 targets per game in the last seven games of 2021, which became 81 yards per contest, but James Cook’s addition throws some kinks in the works. |
| 86 | Tony Pollard | DAL | RB-30 | 8.02 | Zeke out-touched Pollard 284-169, but Pollard led Zeke in yards per touch, juke rate, and fantasy points per opportunity. |
| 87 | Kareem Hunt | CLE | RB-31 | 8.03 | Hunt missed nine games last year, but his 13.5 PPR points per game ranked 22nd among running backs. |
| 88 | Rashaad Penny | SEA | RB-32 | 8.04 | Rashaad Penny finally stayed healthy down the stretch last year, notching 138 yards per game, but he also had over 30% of his career touches in five games and the Seahawks drafted Ken Walker to help spell him in 2022. |
| 89 | Tyler Lockett | SEA | WR-37 | 8.05 | Tyler Lockett played three games without Russell Wilson last year, and averaged 63 yards per game on five receptions, in his 77 games with Wilson from 2017 to 2021, he averaged 4.4 receptions for 60 yards per contest. |
| 90 | Zach Ertz | ARI | TE-9 | 8.06 | Zach Ertz averaged 5 catches for 52 yards per game in the eleven games he played with the Cardinals, and he was TE5 in that timeframe. |
| 91 | Dawson Knox | BUF | TE-10 | 8.07 | Dawson Knox ranked 20th in targets, eighteenth in yardage, and fifteenth in catches last year among tight ends, but finished as TE8 because he scored a league-high 9 touchdowns; this is a fancy way of saying “regression is coming.” |
| 92 | Cordarrelle Patterson | ATL | RB-33 | 8.08 | Patterson had 205 touches last year after a career-high 85 touches in 2020; in the last five weeks of the year, Patterson averaged 11 touches for 32 yards per game.. |
| 93 | Drake London | ATL | WR-38 | 8.09 | Drake London will step in as the de facto WR1 for an offense that is led by a career special teamer and a sophomore tight end, things could get weird in Atlanta and London could be there to soak up the value. |
| 94 | Trey Lance | SF | QB-13 | 8.10 | If you pro-rate Trey Lance’s five halves into an entire year, then that would have averaged 30.6 points per game, Josh Allen, QB1, averaged 26. |
| 95 | Brandon Aiyuk | SF | WR-39 | 8.11 | Brandon Aiyuk averaged 4 catches for 71 yards per game in the final eight games of 2021, including 94 yards in a Trey Lance start, he’s also making a ton of noise with Lance at camp and is quickly developing into a preseason riser. |
| 96 | Chase Edmonds | MIA | RB-34 | 8.12 | Chase Edmonds is the odds-on favorite to be the lead running back in the Miami backfield and averaged 80 yards per game on 9 rush attempts and 4 catches per game before his injury in 2021. |
Round 9 One-Sentence Summaries
| ADP | Player | Team | Position | ADP | One-Sentence Summary |
| 97 | Derek Carr | LV | QB-14 | 9.01 | Derek Carr was top-five in attempts, completions, and yards last season without a viable third target after Darren Waller & Hunter Renfrow, and now he has Davante Adams, so I would say top-eight is well within the range of possibilities. |
| 98 | Christian Kirk | JAX | WR-40 | 9.02 | Christian Kirk enters a passing game that saw just one guy finish with more than two touchdowns and two guys finish with more than 450 yards last year; he has a chance to take over the Jags… or this could be an endemic Jacksonville problem. |
| 99 | Melvin Gordon | DEN | RB-35 | 9.03 | Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams split the work nearly down the middle last year, and their efficiency stats were nearly indistinguishable from each other, yet Melvin Gordon goes pick 99 and Javonte Williams is a borderline first-round pick. |
| 100 | Ken Walker | SEA | RB-36 | 9.04 | Kenneth Walker is the handcuff to Rashaad Penny, the most injured man in the history of the universe, of course, he’s worth a speculative add. |
| 101 | Russell Gage | TB | WR-41 | 9.05 | With the news that Chris Godwin is back in pads, and the addition of Julio Jones, Russell Gage actually has a chance to finish with fewer receiving yards than he did in Atlanta, not more; do not draft him here. |
| 102 | Robert Woods | TEN | WR-42 | 9.06 | Robert Woods is coming off of a torn ACL, and Treylon Burks seems to be coming on and getting over his asthma; this passing game can only support one player, and it isn’t going to be the 30-year-old coming off of a major injury. |
| 103 | Pat Freiermuth | PIT | TE-11 | 9.07 | Pat Freiermuth is shaping up for a letdown, as he is likely the fifth option in a passing game led by Mitchell Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, or Mason Rudolph. |
| 104 | Allen Lazard | GB | WR-43 | 9.08 | Lazard is the only game in town after all other wide receivers worth their salt left the squad, but there’s no way to tell if it will be Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Christian Watson, Randall Cobb, or Amari Rodgers; I’m staying away from Lazard. |
| 105 | Chase Claypool | PIT | WR-44 | 9.09 | Chase Claypool is the #2 option for the Steelers’ passing game, and people just sort of forgot that; on a per-game basis, he was nearly identical (6.9 targets for 3.9 receptions and about 55.5 yards per game, on about a 57% catch rate), but touchdown vagaries (dropping from 9 to 2) has people thinking he took a step back. |
| 106 | Rhamondre Stevenson | NE | RB-37 | 9.10 | The last time Bill Belichick had a running back like this, LeGarrette Blount was scoring a touchdown per game; camp scuttlebutt has #StevenSZN stealing the starting role from Harris, but you can trust Patriots running backs as far as you can throw them, and Rhamondre is 227 pounds, so that’s not far. |
| 107 | Chris Olave | NO | WR-45 | 9.11 | Chris Olave landed in the perfect situation: a big-armed YOLO quarterback with a strong #1 to distract the defense; he could lead all rookie wide receivers in touchdowns. |
| 108 | Kirk Cousins | MIN | QB-15 | 9.12 | Forever maligned and disrespected, the anthropomorphized pleated khaki shorts is the perfect late-round quarterback, as he’s finished top-twelve at the position in three out of the last four seasons. |
