Braxton Berrios 2022 NFL Player Outlook: Depth Role In Ascending Jets Offense
2 years agoNew York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios posted career-highs in targets (65), receptions (46), and receiving yards (431) with two touchdowns across 16 games in 2021. He owned 11% of the team's target share while averaging 5.3 YAC per reception, 22nd among all wideouts. Berrios made the first All-Pro team for his contributions to special teams. The 26-year-old is expected to start the season No. 4 on the wide receiver depth chart behind Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, and first-round rookie Garrett Wilson. The Jets' offense has improved and drafted Wilson and running back Breece Hall in the 2022 NFL Draft. New York hopes quarterback Zach Wilson can improve his rookie season, which would only enhance Berrios' fantasy value. Berrios can get open and should have a vital role on special teams as one of the league's top returners. With the former New England Patriot being buried at the No. 4 on the WR depth chart, Berrios is mainly a late-round flier in an ascending Jets offense.
