Dynasty Football Rankings: 2022 Fantasy Playoffs Update

These dynasty football rankings are fluid and should be used as a general guide to value players. Many players’ values are dependent on whether a roster is contending for a title or in the process of rebuilding, but in general, dynasty rankings align much more closely with rest-of-season redraft rankings in-season. As such, certain veterans ranked below younger prospects in my rankings could still be worth acquiring in a trade straight up for a contender, and some high-upside prospects may make more sense for a rebuilding team even if ranked below some veteran producers at the position.

The influx of a talented 2022 rookie class has shaken up these dynasty football rankings quite a bit, as high-upside rookies like Kenneth Walker and Drake London have become immediate top-100 dynasty assets. Taking into account team need and roster construction, here are my updated top-200 dynasty football rankings assuming a standard 1QB format with PPR scoring (you can find my superflex rankings here) as we approach the fantasy playoffs. And be sure to check back for updated dynasty rankings at the start of next offseason!

Dynasty Football Rankings

Last updated on Thursday, December 8th.

Rank	Pos Rk	Player	Pos	Team	Comments	Draft Pick Value
1	WR1	Ja'Marr Chase	WR	CIN
2	WR2	Justin Jefferson	WR	MIN	Jefferson could move back above Chase if/when JJ McCarthy demonstrates his ability to provide elite target share and production.
3	RB1	Breece Hall	RB	NYJ
4	RB2	Bijan Robinson	RB	ATL
5	QB1	Patrick Mahomes	QB	KC	Mahomes was always in the top tier, but he's back to the clear 1.01 now with the addition of Worthy after KC had already added Brown in free agency.
6	QB2	Josh Allen	QB	BUF
7	WR3	CeeDee Lamb	WR	DAL
8	WR4	Garrett Wilson	WR	NYJ
9	WR5	Marvin Harrison Jr	WR	ARI	Harrison should be a target monster as the true No. 1 WR in ARI, and Murray is an accurate deep passer who can maximize his potential downfield.	1.01
10	WR6	Puka Nacua	WR	LAR
11	WR7	Amon-Ra St. Brown	WR	DET
12	WR8	Malik Nabers	WR	NYG	Daniel Jones was awful last year, but if he and the OL can stay healthy, Nabers should find success in Brian Daboll's offense as the true No. 1 WR.	1.02
13	WR9	Tyreek Hill	WR	MIA
14	RB3	Jahmyr Gibbs	RB	DET
15	RB4	Christian McCaffrey	RB	SF
16	WR10	AJ Brown	WR	PHI
17	TE1	Sam LaPorta	TE	DET
18	QB3	Lamar Jackson	QB	BAL
19	QB4	Anthony Richardson	QB	IND	With Adonai Mitchell added to Pittman in addition to his rushing upside, Richardson has elite fantasy QB potential as long as he can stay healthy.
20	QB5	CJ Stroud	QB	HOU
21	QB6	Joe Burrow	QB	CIN
22	WR11	Drake London	WR	ATL
23	WR12	Chris Olave	WR	NO
24	RB5	Jonathan Taylor	RB	IND
25	RB6	Saquon Barkley	RB	PHI
26	RB7	Josh Jacobs	RB	GB
27	WR13	DK Metcalf	WR	SEA
28	WR14	Zay Flowers	WR	BAL
29	WR15	Rome Odunze	WR	CHI	A crowded WR room caps Odunze's ceiling in Year 1, but Keenan is on a one-year deal, so Odunze should become the 1A heading into 2025.	1.03
30	WR16	Xavier Worthy	WR	KC	Being paired with Mahomes is the ideal landing spot for Worthy. He likely won't be a true No. 1 WR, but he'll have weekly league-winning upside.	1.04
31	TE2	Brock Bowers	TE	LVR	Bowers is an elite TE prospect who has long-term upside even with questionable QB play and competing for targets with Davante Adams.	1.05
32	RB8	Kyren Williams	RB	LAR	Williams remains the starter but could see more of a split role. LAR probably doesn't trust him to stay healthy after they drafted Blake Corum in Rd 3.
33	RB9	De'Von Achane	RB	MIA	The same goes for Achane, who has weekly league-winning potential but needs to prove he can stay healthy after MIA added Jaylen Wright in Rd 4.
34	WR17	Jaxon Smith-Njigba	WR	SEA
35	WR18	Jaylen Waddle	WR	MIA
36	QB7	Caleb Williams	QB	CHI	CHI seems to have learned its lesson with Fields and has stacked the deck in Williams's favor with tons of WR weapons. Now it's all on him.	1.06
37	QB8	Kyler Murray	QB	ARI	The addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. gives Murray a true No. 1 WR in addition to his rushing production, which looked good coming back from the ACL.
38	QB9	Jalen Hurts	QB	PHI
39	QB10	Jayden Daniels	QB	WAS	WAS doesn't have quite as many weapons for Daniels as CHI does for Williams, but Daniels has natural weapons in his speed and mobility.	1.07
40	TE3	Trey McBride	TE	ARI
41	TE4	Mark Andrews	TE	BAL
42	TE5	Kyle Pitts	TE	ATL
43	RB10	Travis Etienne	RB	JAC
44	RB11	Kenneth Walker	RB	SEA
45	WR19	Brandon Aiyuk	WR	SF
46	WR20	Deebo Samuel	WR	SF
47	WR21	Michael Pittman	WR	IND	Pittman should still be the No. 1 WR for IND in 2024, but the addition of Adonai Mitchell could cause him to see a dip in target volume.
48	WR22	DJ Moore	WR	CHI
49	WR23	DeVonta Smith	WR	PHI
50	WR24	Jordan Addison	WR	MIN
51	WR25	Nico Collins	WR	HOU
52	WR26	Tee Higgins	WR	CIN
53	WR27	Ricky Pearsall	WR	SF	Pearsall is a versatile WR who Shanahan can scheme up. With Aiyuk or Deebo possibly elsewhere in 2025, Pearsall is a sleeper in the late 1st.	1.08
54	QB11	Justin Herbert	QB	LAC
55	QB12	Jordan Love	QB	GB
56	TE6	Dalton Kincaid	TE	BUF
57	TE7	TJ Hockenson	TE	MIN
58	TE8	George Kittle	TE	SF
59	RB12	Rachaad White	RB	TB
60	WR28	Cooper Kupp	WR	LAR
61	WR29	Davante Adams	WR	LV
62	WR30	Mike Evans	WR	TB
63	TE9	Travis Kelce	TE	KC
64	RB13	Isiah Pacheco	RB	KC
65	RB14	James Cook	RB	BUF
66	RB15	Derrick Henry	RB	BAL
67	RB16	Tony Pollard	RB	TEN
68	WR31	Tank Dell	WR	HOU
69	WR32	Brian Thomas	WR	JAC	Trevor Lawrence finally gets a big-bodied, downfield threat. If they can build chemistry, Thomas could be a TD machine even as a rookie.	1.09
70	WR33	Ladd McConkey	WR	LAC	Quentin Johnston ain't it. Even if LAC wants to run, McConkey could quickly garner a lot of targets as a reliable receiver for Herbert.	1.10
71	WR34	Amari Cooper	WR	CLE
72	WR35	Stefon Diggs	WR	HOU
73	QB13	Brock Purdy	QB	SF
74	QB14	JJ McCarthy	QB	MIN	McCarthy lands in an ideal scheme under Kevin O'Connell with elite WR weapons at his disposal. He's set up to succeed in MIN.	1.11
75	QB15	Trevor Lawrence	QB	JAC	The addition of Brian Thomas Jr. gives Lawrence a big downfield and red-zone threat to work with in a potential bounce-back season.
76	WR36	Marquise Brown	WR	KC	KC drafting Worthy indicates that Brown may not be in their long-term plans, but he can still be a boom/bust WR2 alongside Worthy in 2024.
77	WR37	Christian Kirk	WR	JAC	Even with the addition of Brian Thomas, Kirk should still see consistent targets and production as one of Lawrence's preferred targets.
78	WR38	George Pickens	WR	PIT
79	WR39	Adonai Mitchell	WR	IND	Mitchell gets paired with Richardson's big arm, and he could become the No. 1 WR for IND in 2025 with Pittman on the franchise tag.	1.12
80	WR40	Keon Coleman	WR	BUF	Coleman likely won't see a ton of targets but could have double-digit TD upside even as a rookie as BUF's best red-zone threat at WR.	2.01
81	WR41	Christian Watson	WR	GB
82	WR42	Xavier Legette	WR	CAR	Legette is a speedy, big-bodied WR who should play an immediate role, and despite being older, he had a good breakout age in college.	2.02
83	QB16	Tua Tagovailoa	QB	MIA
84	QB17	Dak Prescott	QB	DAL
85	RB17	Jonathon Brooks	RB	CAR	Don't sleep on Brooks, who could quickly usurp Sanders for a role alongside Hubbard in CAR. The ceiling isn't huge, but he could be a usable flex.	2.03
86	RB18	Austin Ekeler	RB	WAS
87	RB19	David Montgomery	RB	DET
88	RB20	Rhamondre Stevenson	RB	NE
89	WR43	Chris Godwin	WR	TB
90	WR44	Diontae Johnson	WR	CAR
91	WR45	Jayden Reed	WR	GB
92	RB21	Trey Benson	RB	ARI	Benson could see a goal-line role from Day 1 in ARI, and he has some upside as well if James Conner were to miss any time.	2.04
93	RB22	Raheem Mostert	RB	MIA
94	RB23	James Conner	RB	ARI
95	RB24	Alvin Kamara	RB	NO
96	QB18	Matthew Stafford	QB	LAR
97	QB19	Jared Goff	QB	DET
98	TE10	Dallas Goedert	TE	PHI
99	TE11	David Njoku	TE	CLE
100	TE12	Evan Engram	TE	JAC
101	RB25	Zack Moss	RB	CIN
102	RB26	Joe Mixon	RB	HOU
103	RB27	Aaron Jones	RB	MIN
104	RB28	Najee Harris	RB	PIT
105	RB29	Blake Corum	RB	LAR	Arguably one of the best landing spots for a RB, Corum has high upside considering Kyren Williams's extensive injury history.	2.05
106	RB30	Jaylen Wright	RB	MIA	With Raheem Mostert on a one-year deal and given his injury history, Wright could be a speedy complement to Achane in the long term or sooner.	2.06
107	RB31	Gus Edwards	RB	LAC	LAC seems content with heading into the season with Edwards as the lead back for now. He has double-digit TD upside like he did in BAL last year.
108	RB32	Javonte Williams	RB	DEN
109	RB33	Devin Singletary	RB	NYG	NYG seems content to head into the season with Singletary, who previously produced under Brian Daboll in BUF.
110	RB34	D'Andre Swift	RB	CHI
111	QB20	Kirk Cousins	QB	ATL	ATL drafting Penix adds a little risk for Cousins. There's now some concern about his rehab and potential for benching if he were to underperform.
112	QB21	Aaron Rodgers	QB	NYJ
113	WR46	Roman Wilson	WR	PIT	PIT has a history of good WR evaluations, and Wilson could see a ton of targets even as a rookie in Diontae Johnson's old role alongside Pickens.	2.07
114	WR47	Jakobi Meyers	WR	LV
115	WR48	Terry McLaurin	WR	WAS
116	RB35	Zamir White	RB	LV
117	RB36	Ray Davis	RB	BUF	Davis could be a great early-down complement to James Cook from the get-go and have flex potential in an efficient BUF offense.	2.08
118	RB37	Rico Dowdle	RB	DAL	DAL brought Ezekiel Elliott back, but Dowdle is still penciled in to see the majority of the work in this backfield.
119	RB38	Chuba Hubbard	RB	CAR
120	WR49	Calvin Ridley	WR	TEN
121	WR50	DeAndre Hopkins	WR	TEN
122	WR51	Keenan Allen	WR	CHI	Allen can still be a useful PPR WR3 in 2024, but he'll be more of a boom/bust play fighting for targets with Moore and Odunze.
123	WR52	Jermaine Burton	WR	CIN	Burton becomes another downfield weapon for Burrow, and he has a chance to become the No. 2 WR in 2025 with Higgins on the franchise tag.	2.09
124	QB22	Deshaun Watson	QB	CLE
125	QB23	Bryce Young	QB	CAR
126	QB24	Will Levis	QB	TEN
127	QB25	Daniel Jones	QB	NYG	NYG passing on a QB at No. 6 overall and adding an elite WR is good news for Jones. He can be a QB2 with QB1 upside if the OL stays healthy.
128	TE13	Dalton Schultz	TE	HOU
129	TE14	Pat Freiermuth	TE	PIT
130	TE15	Jake Ferguson	TE	DAL
131	WR53	Courtland Sutton	WR	DEN
132	WR54	Josh Downs	WR	IND
133	WR55	Mike Williams	WR	NYJ
134	WR56	Dontayvion Wicks	WR	GB
135	WR57	Romeo Doubs	WR	GB
136	QB26	Bo Nix	QB	DEN	Sean Payton is reportedly as high on Nix as he was on Mahomes in 2017, so he should be able to craft a good scheme to help Nix develop.	2.10
137	QB27	Drake Maye	QB	NE	Maye is a high ceiling prospect, but he may sit for most of the season behind Jacoby Brissett while NE attempts to build around him in 2025.	2.11
138	RB39	Kimani Vidal	RB	LAC	Vidal has a chance to immediately slot in as the 1B alongside Edwards behind a strong LAC OL if Dobbins isn't recovered from his Achilles.	2.12
139	RB40	Zach Charbonnet	RB	SEA
140	RB41	Kendre Miller	RB	NO
141	RB42	Chase Brown	RB	CIN
142	WR58	Ja'Lynn Polk	WR	NE	Polk could become a reliable slot WR in NE, but he had a poor breakout age and will need to see volume to be relevant in fantasy.	3.01
143	WR59	Troy Franklin	WR	DEN	Franklin had a good YPRR and breakout age with size/speed, but he has a limited route tree, and Day 3 draft capital typically doesn't bode well for WRs.	3.02
144	WR60	Malachi Corley	WR	NYJ	Corley could immediately start in 3WR sets, but he faces steep target competition and had a poor breakout age.	3.03
145	WR61	Jameson Williams	WR	DET
146	WR62	Curtis Samuel	WR	BUF
147	WR63	Khalil Shakir	WR	BUF
148	WR64	Rashee Rice	WR	KC	In addition to his legal woes, Rice may now be the No. 4 target for Mahomes in 2024. He's closer to lottery ticket territory than future WR2 now.
149	WR65	Gabe Davis	WR	BUF
150	WR66	Tyler Lockett	WR	SEA
151	RB43	Jerome Ford	RB	CLE
152	RB44	Tyjae Spears	RB	TEN
153	RB45	Jaylen Warren	RB	PIT
154	RB46	Nick Chubb	RB	CLE
155	RB47	Isaac Guerendo	RB	SF	Given Eli Mitchell's injury history, Guerendo has size, speed, and receiving ability to be a true workhorse for SF if McCaffrey were to miss any time.	3.04
156	RB48	MarShawn Lloyd	RB	GB	Lloyd has great agility and acceleration to serve as a change of pace back behind Josh Jacobs. He's a great upside handcuff to stash in Rd 3.	3.05
157	RB49	Jaleel McLaughlin	RB	DEN
158	WR67	Luke McCaffrey	WR	WAS	McCaffrey could become a productive big slot man for Jayden Daniels over the middle with some TD upside as well.	3.06
159	TE16	Tucker Kraft	TE	GB
160	TE17	Luke Musgrave	TE	GB
161	TE18	Cole Kmet	TE	CHI	Kmet is likely the No. 4 option behind Moore, Allen, and Odunze for 2024, which makes him a TE2 projected to see inconsistent target share.
162	TE19	Michael Mayer	TE	LV	Mayer tumbles down the rankings after Bowers fell to LVR in the middle of Round 1. Mayer will need an injury to see consistent targets now.
163	RB50	Rasheen Ali	RB	BAL	Ali could be the "lightning" to Derrick Henry's "thunder". He has the acceleration to create explosive plays as a change of pace back.	3.07
164	RB51	Braelon Allen	RB	NYJ	Allen is a big back who could see some goal-line work even with a healthy Breece Hall in front of him and has RB2 upside as a handcuff.	3.08
165	RB52	Dylan Laube	RB	LVR	A RB who was utilized extensively as a receiver in college, Laube could be an excellent complement to Zamir White for LVR on passing downs.	3.09
166	RB53	Dameon Pierce	RB	HOU
167	RB54	Brian Robinson	RB	WAS
168	QB28	Baker Mayfield	QB	TB
169	QB29	Derek Carr	QB	NO
170	QB30	Aidan O'Connell	QB	LV	O'Connell managed to dodge LVR drafting a QB. He'll get a chance to prove his worth, at least to start the season, and has decent weapons.
171	WR68	Adam Thielen	WR	CAR
172	WR69	Brandin Cooks	WR	DAL
173	WR70	Jalin Hyatt	WR	NYG
174	TE20	Jonnu Smith	TE	MIA
175	TE21	Isaiah Likely	TE	BAL
176	QB31	Michael Penix	QB	ATL	It's hard to see Penix paying off in dynasty for a couple of years barring another major injury to Cousins, so he's best suited for rebuilding teams.	3.10
177	QB32	Justin Fields	QB	PIT
178	QB33	Russell Wilson	QB	PIT
179	TE22	Davis Allen	TE	LAR
180	TE23	Juwan Johnson	TE	NO
181	RB55	Antonio Gibson	RB	NE
182	RB56	Tyler Allgeier	RB	ATL
183	QB34	Geno Smith	QB	SEA
184	QB35	Sam Howell	QB	SEA
185	RB57	Elijah Mitchell	RB	SF
186	RB58	Khalil Herbert	RB	CHI
187	RB59	Roschon Johnson	RB	CHI
188	RB60	Miles Sanders	RB	CAR
189	RB61	Jamaal Williams	RB	NO
190	TE24	Ben Sinnott	TE	WAS	There's nothing terribly exciting about Sinnott, but he has fair size and speed with Rd 2 draft capital and only two older TEs in front of him.	3.11
191	WR71	Quentin Johnston	WR	LAC
192	WR72	Michael Wilson	WR	ARI
193	WR73	Demario Douglas	WR	NE
194	WR74	Rashid Shaheed	WR	NO
195	RB62	Will Shipley	RB	PHI	Shipley has the receiving chops to be a change of pace back to complement Barkley on passing downs with enough speed to break some big plays.	3.12
196	RB63	JK Dobbins	RB	LAC	RBs face long odds to return to form after an Achilles injury, but the upside is tantalizing reunited with Gus Edwards on a new team.
197	RB64	Ezekiel Elliott	RB	DAL
198	RB65	Keaton Mitchell	RB	BAL
199	WR75	Jahan Dotson	WR	WAS
200	WR76	Wan'Dale Robinson	WR	NYG
