The 2022 rookie crop presents a fantasy conundrum at the moment. There will undoubtedly be some difference-makers among this group of freshmen, but picking out the right ones is a tough task. After all, this is a class that did not include any top-15 picks at QB and zero first-round players at RB and TE. The WR crop is in the exact opposite state, as six players had their names called in Round 1 and seven more wideouts were tabbed in Rd. 2.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the leaders in the clubhouse for the 2022 All-Rookie team.<\/p>\n

Many prognosticators would put Kenny Pickett<\/strong> in this spot, but I like the potential of Ridder to make a fantasy impact sooner rather than later. The Falcons are opening the season with Marcus Mariota<\/strong> under center, but he is unlikely to be their answer at football’s most important position, and they should give Ridder a shot by midseason. Ridder has a pair of elite weapons in WR Drake London <\/strong>(more on him later) and TE Kyle Pitts<\/strong>and his top RB, Cordarelle Patterson<\/strong>, is such a dynamic threat in the passing game that he spent much of his NFL career playing WR. And with 2,180 career NCAA rushing yards, Ridder has the speed to be a dual-threat fantasy QB.<\/p>\n

Running back: Breece Hall, New York Jets<\/h2>\n

Hall has the most upside of any player in this article and could be selected in the initial two rounds next year. The Iowa State alum can do it all, possessing enough rushing skills to be a heavy-usage rusher, enough size to be successful at the goal line and enough skills receiving to stay on the field on third down. He will share the backfield with Michael Carter<\/strong> but should slowly slide that timeshare in his favor as the season progresses.<\/p>\n

The biggest question mark surrounding Hall is whether or not QB Zach Wilson<\/strong> is ready to lead his offense to the next level.<\/p>\n

Running back: Dameon Pierce, Houston Texans<\/h2>\n

I narrowly chose Pierce over Brian Robinson<\/strong>, who is moving up draft boards of late. Pierce was fortunate to join a Texans backfield that lacks established veterans, with his greatest competition coming from Marlon Mack<\/strong>, who after a couple of productive seasons with the Colts totaled just 127 yards across two injury-plagued campaigns. Pierce has been impressive in training camp and has the potential to rush for 1,000 yards by proving that he is superior to Mack at this point in their respective careers.<\/p>\n
