Along with identifying 2022’s deep sleepers and fantasy football breakouts, loading up on late-round RB sleepers can make all the difference between drafting a contender and a championship-winning roster.
Using FFWC high-stakes ADP, here are the late-round RB sleepers to draft in 2022.
Rhamondre Stevenson (New England Patriots) ADP 94 (RB36) – Subscribing to the caveat of never trusting Bill Belichick, Rhamondre Stevenson has been one of the camp standouts. The sophomore running back has been taking first-team reps and has stood out as a receiver. Meanwhile, James White has no timetable for a return, freeing up those valuable targets for Stevenson. NBC’s Peter King thinks Stevenson will wrestle away RB1 duties from Damien Harris by mid-season. Harris is in the final year of his rookie deal and Belichick isn’t one to pay lucrative extensions when he has a cheaper replacement in-house. In the seven games last season that Stevenson got double-digit carries, he averaged 12.3 PPR points per game. Stevenson’s ADP is already on the rise but he’s still a solid value in the 9th round.

August has finally arrived and that means it’s fantasy football draft time. One of the most important strategies for success is to target those fantasy football late-round WR sleepers. Along with identifying 2022’s deep sleepers and fantasy football breakouts, loading […]
WR Skyy Moore (Kansas City Chiefs) ADP 91.2 (WR48) – The only concern for Moore coming out of Western Michigan was the level of competition. Moore was PFF’s No. 4-graded wideout in 2021 and led all receivers in missed tackles forced. So far, we’ve seen that transition over nicely into the pros. The second-round rookie has been turning heads and meshing well with QB Patrick Mahomes.
With Tyreek Hill now in Miami, the door is open for Moore to earn a substantial role right away in Kansas City. Indications are he may be doing just that. Moore’s inside/outside flexibility and run-after-catch ability make him an intriguing fantasy prospect in the 9th or 10th round.
Jalen Tolbert (Dallas Cowboys) ADP 108.3 (WR52) – Another Day Two rookie pass-catcher, Tolbert should have a clear path to a starting role right away in a Dallas offense that finished No. 1 in 2021. Michael Gallup has already stated he will not be ready when the season opens. Now, Tolbert’s main competition, James Washington, was just carted off the field with an apparent ankle/foot injury.
QB Dak Prescott supported a pair of top-27 PPR wide receivers last season, CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper. Now that Cooper resides in Cleveland, the door is open for Tolbert to command 80-plus targets in Year One. That makes him very undervalued at his current draft position.
D.J. Chark (Detroit Lions) ADP 130.4 (WR62) – Chark missed most of last season with an ankle injury. The good news there is…

The draft season is here, so it’s time to look at the top 2022 fantasy football stacks by ranking all 32 teams in 2022. Stacking, or pairing multiple players from one NFL team, has become all the rage in fantasy football. Especially in best-ball leagues.
It’s not a strategy without risk, but loading up on the top offensive teams can lead to high-scoring rosters. But not all teams should necessarily be stacked and many have non-traditional QB/WR1 pairings.
For those looking to stack teams this season, here are the rankings for all NFL teams. I’ve included each quarterback with their top-3 fantasy options per FFWC high-stakes advanced ADP. I also included a contingency, late-round pick from each squad, as some stacks will be extremely hard to accomplish in standard 12-team drafts.
Elite Fantasy Football Stacks
Los Angeles Chargers
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Justin Herbert | 62.2 | Austin Ekeler (RB) | 5.8 | Keenan Allen (WR) | 23.8 | Mike Williams (WR) | 33 | Josh Palmer (WR) | 139.6 |
The Chargers are loaded with phenomenal young talent, so much so that it would be difficult to build a QB-RB-WR stack, but not impossible. Austin Ekeler would have to be nabbed in Round One, while Keenan Allen is usually selected late in the 2nd. If you miss out on Allen, Mike Williams is a good consolation prize. In FFWC high-stakes drafts, Justin Herbert is currently QB2, so be prepared to take him early. WR3 Josh Palmer could be a sleeper to top 60 grabs and Gerald Everett is poised to be a late-round gem.
Cincinnati Bengals
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Joe Burrow | 104.3 | Ja’Marr Chase (WR) | 5.5 | Joe Mixon (RB) | 14 | Tee Higgins (WR) | 23.5 | Tyler Boyd (WR) | 104.9 |
No issues ranking the Bengals ahead of the Chargers. Both rosters are loaded with elite young playmakers. Only a lucky break or two with a late draft slot would allow fantasy managers to start Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Mixon. More likely, a Mixon/Tee Higgins stack would be more feasible. Tyler Boyd might be the top WR3 in the league. Another name to remember is TE Hayden Hurst, who was a top-10 fantasy starter in 2020.
Buffalo Bills
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Josh Allen | 40.2 | Stefon Diggs (WR) | 11.2 | Gabriel Davis (WR) | 53.2 | Devin Singletary (RB) | 84.4 | James Cook (RB) | 96.3 |
A Josh Allen/Stefon Diggs stack is going to win plenty of leagues in 2022. Of course, building it means committing an early draft pick on Allen and potentially bypassing running backs. Interestingly, Buffalo themselves have an excellent dead-zone RB sleeper in Devin Singletary. It won’t be easy to secure both Buffalo backs but an Allen/Diggs/Singletary stack would be money. Gabriel Davis also works as the WR2 if you miss out on Diggs, and slot man Jamison Crowder is a significant upgrade over Cole Beasley. Also, the Bills enter this season as the Super Bowl favorites and have a roster loaded with fantasy football stacking potential. Load up early and often.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Tom Brady | 109.6 | Mike Evans (WR) | 15.3 | Leonard Fournette (RB) | 19.9 | Russell Gage (WR) | 62.5 | Chris Godwin (WR) | 63.7 |
Even with Chris Godwin looking very iffy, the Bucs still offer No. 1 overall upside. Tampa ran the third-most snaps per game in 2021 and should be fine with Byron Leftwich calling plays. Tom Brady to Mike Evans has resulted in 27 combined TDs since 2020. If Godwin misses time, as expected, that duo should once again be among the league leaders. Leonard Fournette was a league-winner last season but was allowed to test free agency and reportedly adhered to the Eddie Lacy offseason conditioning plan. That and the presence of Rachaad White makes Fournette somewhat risky. Tampa signed Russell Gage to a 3-year, $30 million deal for a reason. Gage is going to be heavily involved and makes for a terrific stack with Brady for fantasy managers who miss out on Evans. Keep an eye on the starting tight end battle in camp. Tight Ends Kyle Rudolph, Cameron Brate, and rookie Cade Otton offer a ton of late-round upside.
Los Angeles Rams
| QB | ADP | PLAYER 1 | ADP | PLAYER 2 | ADP | PLAYER 3 | ADP | CONTINGENCY PICK | ADP |
| Matthew Stafford | 128.5 | Cooper Kupp (WR) | 3.5 | Cam Akers (RB) | 40.6 | Allen Robinson (WR) | 45.2 | Tyler Higbee (TE) | 177.1 |
The defending champions have the potential to be better in 2022 after signing Allen Robinson. Anyone who paired Matthew Stafford with Cooper Kupp last season knows the benefits of loading up on Sean McVay-led squads. Robinson’s ADP has slowly crept up but he’ll be a popular stack with Stafford. I have expressed my reservations about Cam Akers and remain convinced McVay is going to use more of a committee backfield than he showed in the postseason. Moreover, LA had the league’s top pass-blocking line last season per PFF and is among the early favorites. With the and mostly back together, the Rams remain a good team to invest in.

In addition to our committee backfield article, here are battles for all 16 NFC teams that fantasy enthusiasts should keep an eye on this summer. Also, check out our AFC Training Camp Battles to Watch.
Arizona Cardinals – The looming six-game suspension for WR DeAndre Hopkins will lead to a big void in targets. If Rondale Moore moves inside full-time, as expected, he should have a huge role. Christian Kirk’s big 2021 showing came via the sixth-highest slot rate in this league. RB James Conner also has a rather checkered injury history, so if Darrel Williams wins the club’s RB2 job, he has significant value if Conner misses games again.
Atlanta Falcons – Atlanta arguably has the league’s thinnest roster. That lack of depth and talent certainly extends to the receiving corps. The Falcons’ 193 vacated targets at wide receiver is the fifth-most in football. Drake London and TE Kyle Pitts should be locks for 120-plus looks but the rest of the depth chart is wide open. Also, monitor the backfield. Cordarrelle Patterson will open the season…
