This article is part of our Fantasy Football Draft Strategy series.
The 2022 fantasy football season is officially here, and it's time to prepare for your drafts. There are many ways to get ready for your league, but it all comes down to rankings.
Fantasy football rankings will change during OTAs and training camp, but we will keep you updated with the top 150 in PPR throughout the summer.
Each week I'll highlight the significant changes in my rankings. As the season gets closer and closer, there will be more movement based on news.
Moving Up:
Khalil Herbert, RB, CHI – There's plenty of good vibes coming from Herbert and negative vibes from David Montgomery, who spent some time working on special teams earlier in camp.
James Robinson, RB, JAX – Robinson is ahead of schedule in his recovery from his Achilles injury, and has spent some time practicing with the first team.
Isiah Pacheco, RB, KC – Pacheco is getting plenty of buzz for his ability to "run hard" in practice, though even when he's getting complimented from coach Andy Reid, in the same breath Reid cautions that he doesn't know yet whether Pacheco will be able to do anything else in the offense. Thus he just barely cracks the 150.
Javonte Williams, RB, DEN – Teammate Melvin Gordon has picked up a foot injury. It might not be a severe one, but it's enough to encourage me to take Williams a little higher in the second round when possible.
No Change:
Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, RBs, NE – James White just retired, but I really didn't expect White to make the team for the Pats, so there's no movement here.
Moving Down:
Darren Waller, TE, LV – Waller has been out of practice the last two weeks with an undisclosed issue, but told Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com that he "should" be ready to practice next week. I'm still a little apprehensive about him nonetheless.
Kadarius Toney, WR, NYG – I see Toney rising in some ranks, including the RotoWire Roundtable rankings. But he's also getting managed in practice, having participated in only four of the first 11 practices, and has had hamstring issues in camp. He's a stay-away for me.
David Montgomery, RB, CHI – The first slap on Montgomery's value was that he was spending time in camp working on special teams. Now the fourth-year RB has missed the last two practices with an undisclosed injury.
Without further ado, here is a look at my top 150 PPR rankings for the 2022 fantasy football season.
