The Kansas City Chiefs‘ offense will look considerably different this year without Tyreek Hill lining up wide. With Hill off to Miami, Kansas City has overhauled its receiving core, adding JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes still has tight end Travis Kelce to target over the middle, but which of the newcomers can best fill the production Hill provided the Chiefs for the last six years? Where should you target them in your 2022 Fantasy football rankings?
Smith-Schuster is a former Pro Bowler, but MVS has plenty of big-play ability. In fact, Valdes-Scantling led the NFL in yards per reception in 2020, while his 17.5 career average is the second-best among all active players. Will his deep speed translate to Kansas City and make him one of the 2022 Fantasy football sleepers?

Top 2022 Fantasy football picks
The model is extremely high on Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz. Entering his fifth year, Schultz was assigned the franchise tag by Dallas after breaking out last season. He had more receptions (78), yards (808) and touchdowns (eight) than he had in his first three seasons combined. Schultz finished third in Fantasy points among tight ends and his prospects are even better for 2022.
Dallas lost firepower at the receiver position with the departures of Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson Jr., who combined for nearly 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns. Michael Gallup is also coming off a torn ACL, which leaves Schultz and CeeDee Lamb as the only healthy Cowboys with a proven rapport with quarterback Dak Prescott. The model likes Schultz’s chances of replicating, if not improving upon, his 2021 success and has him outperforming another breakout tight end in Kyle Pitts in the Fantasy football rankings 2022.
Another shocker: Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady struggles, even though he led the league in passing yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43) last season. Brady flirted with retirement in the offseason before deciding to return for the 2022 NFL season.
The 44-year-old signal caller is coming back for a 23rd season in the NFL, but SportsLine’s model sees Brady falling victim to Father Time. Brady has thrown double-digit interceptions in three of his last four seasons, and he threw one touchdown or none in three of his final six games last season. SportsLine’s model is fading Brady in 2022, ranking him well outside the top 75 overall and below quarterbacks like Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Russell Wilson.
How to find 2022 Fantasy football rankings
The model has also made the call on where Chris Godwin and Odell Beckham Jr. rank coming off ACL injuries, and it also has one second-year running back ranked over 30 spots ahead of Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley. You can only see the latest Fantasy football rankings 2022 here.
