WIDE RECEIVERS:

A.J. Brown- 1,025.5 Regular Season Receiving Yards: OVER (-115)

Many around the league and betting circles soured on A.J. Brown once they learned of his trade to Philadelphia. I am taking the contrarian approach here.

While in Tennessee, the Titans featured Derrick Henry as the 1A and A.J. Brown as the 1B. I anticipate the Philadelphia Eagles throwing the back significantly more in 2022, and A.J. Brown will be the 1A in this offense. 

A.J. Brown skies over this number. Take the OVER.

Allen Lazard- 750.5 Regular Season Receiving Yards: OVER (-115)

I mentioned in my QB Totals article that you should not doubt a motivated Aaron Rodgers heading into 2022. Aaron Rodgers will miss Davante Adams, but as he has throughout his illustrious career, Rodgers will adapt. 

Recently, Aaron Rodgers took some shots at the younger receivers on the Packers, suggesting they are not ready for prime time. We all know that Rodgers prefers veteran receivers. With the Packers depth chart that it is, Allen Lazard is the de facto number one option in the passing game.

Lazard should soak up the targets from Rodgers early and often. A 1,000-yard receiving is not out of the question. Take the OVER.

Gabriel Davis- 875.5 Regular Season Receiving Yards: OVER (+100)

Unless you are buried under a rock or not on Twitter, you know there has been a hotly-contested battle over Gabriel Davis. Gabriel Davis offers tantalizing upside but has not put together much regular season production to back that up. 

I state regular season because the last time we saw Gabriel Davis, he exploded for one of the best playoff performances you will ever see!

The Buffalo Bills did little to address their depth at the WR position. The table is set for Gabriel Davis to become a superstar. I'm banking on the opportunity. I am banking on the talent. Take the OVER.

JuJu Smith-Schuster- 750.5 Regular Season Receiving Yards: OVER (-120)

We have seen JuJu Smith-Schuster put together stellar seasons earlier in his career. The question remains: Is JuJu past the injuries that have plagued him recently?

If JuJu Smith-Schuster can put together a full season in the Kansas City Chiefs offense, this is a SMASH. Take the OVER.

Julio Jones- 550.5 Regular Season Receiving Yards: OVER (-115)

Speaking of revitalizing one's career--Julio Jones has entered the chat. Many around betting circles believe that Julio Jones is toast. I am willing to bet on the talent and one last hurrah with Tom Brady.

If Julio Jones is even 75% of his former self, he should be able to topple 550.5 receiving yards. Take the OVER.

Rashod Bateman- 850.5 Regular Season Receiving Yards: OVER (-115)

Naysayers will point to the fact that the Baltimore Ravens are one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL. I believe the Ravens are set to smash expectations and will do so through a concentrated offense of Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman.

Bateman should leap in 2022 as the Raven's top receiver. Take the OVER.
