#3 – Jerry Jeudy
While many NFL fans already know all about Jerry Jeudy, you could argue he’s still a fantasy sleeper going into the 2022 season. With future Hall of Famer Russell Wilson now at quarterback for the Denver Broncos, Jeudy’s game should reach a new level in 2021.
Trending
The upgrade from Drew Lock to Wilson can’t be understated, but even with mediocre QB play, Jeudy led the NFL in average yards of separation. However, he was only targeted 5.6 times per game and missed a significant amount of time due to injury as he only managed 467 yards in five starts in 2021. Jeudy’s teammate Tim Patrick has already gone down with a devastating season-ending injury, which only spells good news for Jeudy owners in 2022.

#2 – Jakobi Meyers
During Mac Jones’ rookie campaign with the New England Patriots, he instantly connected with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who caught 83 passes for 866 yards and two touchdowns in 2021. This meant Meyers ended the year as WR41. Twenty-twenty-two looks to be another fruitful campaign for the former undrafted free agent.
According to fantasypros.com, Meyers is currently being drafted as WR52, but there’s no reason he couldn’t end 2022 as a top 20 wideout. Meyers led New England in targets, receptions and yards in 2021. If he can keep up the same rapport with Jones, he will easily be one of the most slept-on wideouts in the NFL.
#1 – Rashod Bateman
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is arguably the most slept-on pass catcher going into 2022. The Ravens traded WR1 Marquise Brown to the Arizona Cardinals during the offseason, leaving Bateman as the undisputed starter for the year. Brown had a target share of 23% in the Ravens offense, which leaves the door open for Bateman to become Lamar Jackson’s new favorite target.
Currently with an ADP of #35 according to fantasypros.com, there’s no reason Bateman can’t end the year as a top 15 fantasy wide receiver.
