Finding the Ja’Marr Chase of 2022

E

The overwhelming majority of elite fantasy receivers come from real-life playoff teams, or teams that are at least in the playoff hunt. So, a good way to find a breakout WR is to try and figure out which team could make a surprise playoff run. Ja’Marr Chase was going in the sixth round of fantasy drafts last year, and after a surprising run by the Bengals he ended the year as a top-4 player at the position. We map out our playoff picture, and come back around to figure out—based on our playoff feelings—which players we think are a good fantasy value. Check out The Ringer’s Fantasy Football Draft Guide!

The NFL combine is an odd event, complete with quirky rules and traditions. We try to make sense of it all by breaking down the history of the event, why some parts remain incredibly relevant, why others continue to make no sense, and—most importantly—what we are looking out for this year. Later, we answer a listener question and play America’s favorite new game, Two Draft Jargons, One Lie.
