Whether you play in the World, National or Players Championships, your membership entitles you to take a sneak peek at current high-stakes fantasy football draft boards from around the industry that completed August 6, 2022. Here are three recent high-stakes draft boards, once from each of the big contests.

FFWC – 1 PPR – 1-2-3-1-1-1 and 2 flex (rb-wr-te) Traditional Serpentine draft. Wide receivers go much faster in this format because you have to start at least 3 every week up to an optional five. Quarterbacks at 4 points per passing touchdown are typically pushed down the draft boards. (Only 4 selected through 9 rounds)

2022 Fantasy Football Stacks: Ranking all 32 Teams

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.

2022 Fantasy Football Fades

The 2022 fantasy football season is upon us; people are flocking to draft rooms with their draft cheat sheets and rankings in hand to take down the grand prizes in their favorite tournaments. They are crossing off names one at a time, looking for value, looking for their favorite targets, and avoiding their 2022 fantasy football fades.

Below you can find my 2022 fade list with detailed reasonings and data supporting my choice to pass on players when I am on the clock. But before we begin, I think it’s important to clarify what I mean by fade.

Fading a player does not mean I will not draft a player- There is a point at which every player is draftable; that cost is up for you to decide. However, considering my overall roster portfolios, I roster fewer of these players than the rest, and I think it would be irresponsible or foolish not to own any.

That being said, I often find myself passing on these players due to the draft capital required to acquire them, and I will continue to fade them unless something in the offseason changes the fantasy landscape or their projected outlook.

Let’s dive into Part One of my 2022 Fade List for the 2022 fantasy football season, looking at quarterbacks and running backs.

Quarterbacks

Joe Burrow– Don’t get me wrong, I love Joe Burrow, and I love his weapons, but I can’t get behind the cost it takes to acquire him in drafts. Burrow is currently being selected as QB6 in early FFWC draft rooms. He is going ahead of Tom Brady, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, and Russell Wilson, to name a few.

Cincinnati’s strength of schedule sits at .536 in 2022. That ranks as the third-highest behind the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals. We also need to consider his fantasy shootout schedule (weeks 15-17). Burrow faces the best of the best, starting with the Bucs, Pats, and then Bills. Looking at Joe Burrow’s successes in 2021, we can’t help but think there will be some regression in 2022.

Burrow led the league in completion percentage at 70.4%; he was 8th in the league in TD’s, 6th in the league in money throws, 3rd in the league in touchdown rate at 6.5%, 8th in the league in deep ball completion percentage at 43.1%, 2nd in the league in true passing rating, and 3rd in the league in accuracy rating. I know this sounds AMAZING- but that’s the caveat; even after that monstrous season, Burrow finished 2021 as QB8. He would need to outperform those robust statistics to give investors a return on the draft capital necessary to acquire him in drafts.
