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!


Say what?! Your dynasty football league didn’t use Fantrax last year? Unthinkable! Check out all the features Fantrax has to offer, and we think you’ll be singing a different tune for the coming season.

1WR1Ja'Marr ChaseWRCIN
2WR2Justin JeffersonWRMINJefferson could move back above Chase if/when JJ McCarthy demonstrates his ability to provide elite target share and production.
3RB1Breece HallRBNYJ
4RB2Bijan RobinsonRBATL
5QB1Patrick MahomesQBKCMahomes 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.
6QB2Josh AllenQBBUF
7WR3CeeDee LambWRDAL
8WR4Garrett WilsonWRNYJ
9WR5Marvin Harrison JrWRARIHarrison 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
10WR6Puka NacuaWRLAR
11WR7Amon-Ra St. BrownWRDET
12WR8Malik NabersWRNYGDaniel 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
13WR9Tyreek HillWRMIA
14RB3Jahmyr GibbsRBDET
15RB4Christian McCaffreyRBSF
16WR10AJ BrownWRPHI
17TE1Sam LaPortaTEDET
18QB3Lamar JacksonQBBAL
19QB4Anthony RichardsonQBINDWith Adonai Mitchell added to Pittman in addition to his rushing upside, Richardson has elite fantasy QB potential as long as he can stay healthy.
20QB5CJ StroudQBHOU
21QB6Joe BurrowQBCIN
22WR11Drake LondonWRATL
23WR12Chris OlaveWRNO
24RB5Jonathan TaylorRBIND
25RB6Saquon BarkleyRBPHI
26RB7Josh JacobsRBGB
27WR13DK MetcalfWRSEA
28WR14Zay FlowersWRBAL
29WR15Rome OdunzeWRCHIA 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
30WR16Xavier WorthyWRKCBeing 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
31TE2Brock BowersTELVRBowers is an elite TE prospect who has long-term upside even with questionable QB play and competing for targets with Davante Adams.1.05
32RB8Kyren WilliamsRBLARWilliams 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.
33RB9De'Von AchaneRBMIAThe 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.
34WR17Jaxon Smith-NjigbaWRSEA
35WR18Jaylen WaddleWRMIA
36QB7Caleb WilliamsQBCHICHI 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
37QB8Kyler MurrayQBARIThe 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.
38QB9Jalen HurtsQBPHI
39QB10Jayden DanielsQBWASWAS 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
40TE3Trey McBrideTEARI
41TE4Mark AndrewsTEBAL

43RB10Travis EtienneRBJAC
44RB11Kenneth WalkerRBSEA
45WR19Brandon AiyukWRSF
46WR20Deebo SamuelWRSF
47WR21Michael PittmanWRINDPittman 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.
48WR22DJ MooreWRCHI
49WR23DeVonta SmithWRPHI
50WR24Jordan AddisonWRMIN
51WR25Nico CollinsWRHOU
52WR26Tee HigginsWRCIN
53WR27Ricky PearsallWRSFPearsall 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

66RB15Derrick HenryRBBAL
67RB16Tony PollardRBTEN
68WR31Tank DellWRHOU
69WR32Brian ThomasWRJACTrevor 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
70WR33Ladd McConkeyWRLACQuentin 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
71WR34Amari CooperWRCLE
72WR35Stefon DiggsWRHOU
73QB13Brock PurdyQBSF
74QB14JJ McCarthyQBMINMcCarthy 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
75QB15Trevor LawrenceQBJACThe addition of Brian Thomas Jr. gives Lawrence a big downfield and red-zone threat to work with in a potential bounce-back season.
76WR36Marquise BrownWRKCKC 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.
77WR37Christian KirkWRJACEven with the addition of Brian Thomas, Kirk should still see consistent targets and production as one of Lawrence's preferred targets.
78WR38George PickensWRPIT
79WR39Adonai MitchellWRINDMitchell 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
80WR40Keon ColemanWRBUFColeman 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
81WR41Christian WatsonWRGB
82WR42Xavier LegetteWRCARLegette 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
83QB16Tua TagovailoaQBMIA
84QB17Dak PrescottQBDAL
85RB17Jonathon BrooksRBCARDon'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
86RB18Austin EkelerRBWAS
87RB19David MontgomeryRBDET
88RB20Rhamondre StevensonRBNE
89WR43Chris GodwinWRTB
90WR44Diontae JohnsonWRCAR
91WR45Jayden ReedWRGB
92RB21Trey BensonRBARIBenson 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
93RB22Raheem MostertRBMIA
94RB23James ConnerRBARI
95RB24Alvin KamaraRBNO
96QB18Matthew StaffordQBLAR

101RB25Zack MossRBCIN
102RB26Joe MixonRBHOU
103RB27Aaron JonesRBMIN
104RB28Najee HarrisRBPIT
105RB29Blake CorumRBLARArguably one of the best landing spots for a RB, Corum has high upside considering Kyren Williams's extensive injury history.2.05
106RB30Jaylen WrightRBMIAWith 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
107RB31Gus EdwardsRBLACLAC 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.
108RB32Javonte WilliamsRBDEN
109RB33Devin SingletaryRBNYGNYG seems content to head into the season with Singletary, who previously produced under Brian Daboll in BUF.
110RB34D'Andre SwiftRBCHI
111QB20Kirk CousinsQBATLATL 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.
112QB21Aaron RodgersQBNYJ
113WR46Roman WilsonWRPITPIT 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
114WR47Jakobi MeyersWRLV
115WR48Terry McLaurinWRWAS
116RB35Zamir WhiteRBLV
117RB36Ray DavisRBBUFDavis 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
118RB37Rico DowdleRBDALDAL brought Ezekiel Elliott back, but Dowdle is still penciled in to see the majority of the work in this backfield.
119RB38Chuba HubbardRBCAR
120WR49Calvin RidleyWRTEN
121WR50DeAndre HopkinsWRTEN
122WR51Keenan AllenWRCHIAllen 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.
123WR52Jermaine BurtonWRCINBurton 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
124QB22Deshaun WatsonQBCLE
125QB23Bryce YoungQBCAR
126QB24Will LevisQBTEN
127QB25Daniel JonesQBNYGNYG 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.
128TE13Dalton SchultzTEHOU
129TE14Pat FreiermuthTEPIT
130TE15Jake FergusonTEDAL
131WR53Courtland SuttonWRDEN
132WR54Josh DownsWRIND
133WR55Mike WilliamsWRNYJ
134WR56Dontayvion WicksWRGB
135WR57Romeo DoubsWRGB
136QB26Bo NixQBDENSean 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
137QB27Drake MayeQBNEMaye 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
138RB39Kimani VidalRBLACVidal 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
139RB40Zach CharbonnetRBSEA
140RB41Kendre MillerRBNO
141RB42Chase BrownRBCIN
142WR58Ja'Lynn PolkWRNEPolk 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
143WR59Troy FranklinWRDENFranklin 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
144WR60Malachi CorleyWRNYJCorley could immediately start in 3WR sets, but he faces steep target competition and had a poor breakout age.3.03
145WR61Jameson WilliamsWRDET
146WR62Curtis SamuelWRBUF
147WR63Khalil ShakirWRBUF
148WR64Rashee RiceWRKCIn 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.
149WR65Gabe DavisWRBUF
150WR66Tyler LockettWRSEA
151RB43Jerome FordRBCLE
152RB44Tyjae SpearsRBTEN
153RB45Jaylen WarrenRBPIT
154RB46Nick ChubbRBCLE
155RB47Isaac GuerendoRBSFGiven 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
156RB48MarShawn LloydRBGBLloyd 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
157RB49Jaleel McLaughlinRBDEN
158WR67Luke McCaffreyWRWASMcCaffrey could become a productive big slot man for Jayden Daniels over the middle with some TD upside as well.3.06
159TE16Tucker KraftTEGB
160TE17Luke MusgraveTEGB
161TE18Cole KmetTECHIKmet is likely the No. 4 option behind Moore, Allen, and Odunze for 2024, which makes him a TE2 projected to see inconsistent target share.
162TE19Michael MayerTELVMayer 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.
163RB50Rasheen AliRBBALAli 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
164RB51Braelon AllenRBNYJAllen 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
165RB52Dylan LaubeRBLVRA 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
166RB53Dameon PierceRBHOU
167RB54Brian RobinsonRBWAS
168QB28Baker MayfieldQBTB
169QB29Derek CarrQBNO
170QB30Aidan O'ConnellQBLVO'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.

173WR70Jalin HyattWRNYG
174TE20Jonnu SmithTEMIA
175TE21Isaiah LikelyTEBAL
176QB31Michael PenixQBATLIt'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
