Do enough off-season draft prep and you’ll undoubtedly come across fantasy analysts hyping a 2022 fantasy football contract year players list. The theory is that players, especially those coming off their rookie deals, are extra motivated to perform well this season and break the bank on the open market.

While it does seem like some players do indeed show up to training camp in the shape of their life and there is certainly some precedence to wanting to maximize their offseason value, there is no real corollary evidence that indicates there is a notable increase in output in contract years.

Of course, there are exceptions to that. Undoubtedly plenty of players set to enter unrestricted free agency in 2023 will have standout performances this season. But it just might be us looking for this to happen that makes it just seem more common than it actually is.

Regardless, targeting contract-year players in fantasy football drafts can lead to the occasional breakout performance, but it should just be viewed as a small piece of the draft puzzle. Perhaps used as a tie-breaker between two players who are similarly ranked.

Here are some of the key skill-position players to keep in mind that are currently set to be unrestricted free agents after the 2022 NFL season. For a complete list, bookmark the FullTime Fantasy Contract Year Players tab.

The ages listed are how old players will be in March.

The 2022 NFL Draft is now just days away and the anticipation is growing. Trying to project this draft might be a futile project but it is always fun to break down prospects and predict their landing spots. It also is a good way to help stay on top of fantasy and dynasty football news.

After posting Jody Smith’s 2022 NFL Mock Draft 1.0, here is my attempt at forecasting Round One.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars – Aiden Hutchinson (DE) – Many fell in love with Walker after the combine, but Hutchinson is simply the better player and needs to be the top guy off the board if the Jags go with a defensive end as I expect them to.

2. Detroit Lions – Travon Walker (DE) – I don’t love the pick her but the NFL loves upside. Walker is off the board at No. 2. 

3. Houston Texans – Ahmad Gardner (CB) – The Texans need everything and Sauce is the best player in this draft. They need to go best available and they do here. 

4. New York Jets – Kayvon Thibodeaux (EDGE) – With Gardner off the board to the Texans, Thibodeaux is the no-brainer choice here being that I can’t see them going O-line. 

5. New York Giants …

WHO DOES MARK THINK THE GIANTS and the remainder of the teams will take?

2022 NFL Mock Draft 1.0 by Jody Smith

The 2022 NFL Draft is rapidly approaching. As each day goes by we seem to have a better understanding of which prospects are picking up momentum to be selected. At the same time, it grows more and more difficult to try to project all 32 first-round picks with any degree of accuracy.

Here’s my latest 2022 NFL mock draft for Round 1.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars – Travon Walker (DE) – After blowing away the combine, Walker’s stock is on the rise. So much so that Doug Pederson can take a chance on Walker’s immense upside and choose to fortify his offensive line later in a class that is relatively deep at tackle.

2. Detroit Lions –  Aiden Hutchinson (DE) – The Lions are building from the trenches and reinforcing a defensive that was 31st in passing yards per attempt and 26th in sack rate is a top priority. Hutchinson is widely considered the safest prospect in this draft and gives Dan Campbell the type of three-down pass rusher he covets.

3. Houston Texans – Evan Neal (OT) – Houston has the least talented roster in football and has needs at every position. The offensive line has been problematic for the franchise for many years and Neal projects to be an All-Pro left tackle. Neal can fill in anywhere this season and would step right in for current starter Laremy Tunsil if the club were to move on from Tunsil’s high price tag after the season.

4. New York Jets – Ahmad Gardner (CB) – It is rare to see a cornerback be drafted in the top-5 but ‘Sauce” is a dynamic player who has the size and skills to be a shutdown corner for the next decade. Gardner is the type of rare talent that can immediately upgrade an entire secondary and the Jets were dead last in yards and points allowed in 2021.

5. New York Giants ….
