2022 Team Previews — Part 2

Championship Contenders

6. Kurtis

I hinted at Lando being at 6 but the margin is thin enough that I should continue to respect the back-to-back-to-back Super Bowl finalist. Kurtis is a dangerous team though thanks to the monster duo of Jefferson and Chase (along with plenty of other talent as well).

Projected Record: 8–5

5. Orlando

After making it to the Super Bowl for three straight seasons, thin cracks in this roster are starting to show. Tyreek no longer has Mahomes, Godwin is recovering from an ACL tear, and Thielen just turned 32. Make no mistake, this team is still a force though.

Projected Record: 8–5

4. Josh

Josh is down on his team after underperforming for a few years in a row but perhaps this is the year this squad puts it together. TE is the main weak spot, which could be an even bigger factor now that we’re TE premium scoring.

Projected Weekly Points: 115.25
Projected Record: 9–4

3. Anton

Kelce lost the TE 1 crown last season to Mark Andrews but he looks poised to reclaim that title this year with Tyreek’s departure. And as I write pretty much every year, as long as Kelce and this WR core dominates, the mediocre RB room will be just fine.

Projected Weekly Points: 118.59
Projected Record: 9–4

2. Kevin

Every year it’s the same story for Kevin: Strong starters at every position and the best depth in the league. However, he also hasn’t made it to the Super Bowl since his loss to JR in 2018. Will this year be different?

Projected Weekly Points: 119.94
Projected Record: 10–3

1. Chris

What a rise for our inaugural Bunghole. After years of team building and a big trade for Cooper Kupp, Chris broke his playoff drought last season and now ranks as the best team in the league. Apologies in advance for the №1 ranked curse.
