![]() Lamb boasted just an 18% target share last season - which ranked outside the top 30 among all pass catchers.īut with the eighth-most vacated targets left to be distributed between Lamb, tight end Dalton Schultz, ACL-injury returning Michael Gallup, veteran James Washington, and third-round rookie pick Jalen Tolbert, I’d bet Lamb crests at least a 20% target share in 2022. The biggest issue with Lamb was that he never was seeing the requisite target volume in an offense that had a surplus of playmakers. No more Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson can only spell great things for CeeDee Lamb in 2022. He wrapped a bow on the 2021 season as the RB3 in points per game and RB2 overall in half-point scoring. With such a secure role as a receiver out of the backfield and as a featured red-zone weapon in a high-powered offense, it’s hard to imagine a healthy Ekeler not returning at least top-five fantasy status in 2022. Ekeler’s 18 red-zone touchdowns and 63 red-zone touches ranked first and second respectively. ![]() His 13.9% target share and 70 receptions ranked second behind only Najee Harris. At 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, Ekeler finished eighth in the NFL in total touches (276) and 14th in touches per game (17.2).īut the raw touches hardly showcase the fantasy value Ekeler possesses, because he often commands an extremely high share of high-value targets ie. Round 1, Pick 3: Austin Ekeler (RB – LAC)Īustin Ekeler isn’t used as a true three-down workhorse, but it’s hard to tell based on the actual amount of touches he sees in the Los Angeles Chargers’ offense.
