The Fade List: Jeff Ratcliffe’s 2022 Fantasy Avoids

Fantasy Football Secondhand Sleepers for 2022: RB
Receivers are the easier secondhand sleeper bets in fantasy football. They need accurate passes to make their catches, produce their yards, and score their touchdowns. But running backs rely on their quarterback efficiency in subtler ways.
