Joe Pisapia’s Overall 2022 Fantasy Football Strategy

I’m investing in wide receivers early and often. Yes, elite RBs are great to have, but the last few years have beaten us over the head with the fact that the early RB approach has far greater volatility. I’d rather take shots on RBs on good offenses, opportunity and upside but use my early draft capital on proven, elite WRs.

At TE, I want value. If Kyle Pitts or Darren Waller slip, I’m listening. If Dalton Schultz is where he should be, he’s mine. I’m all for taking Josh Allen when it comes to single QB leagues. Otherwise, I’m waiting for Matthew Stafford value or Derek Carr/Trey Lance combo meal of floor and upside.
