Chris Carson Among Vets Most Affected By Draft

NFL Draft - Most NFL drafts see early picks that sabotage fantasy expectations for veteran players. The 2022 draft was different. Falling quarterbacks stole the headlines, but a similar pull of running back prospects into the later rounds left some precarious incumbents in the driver seat for No. 1 roles.

Still, even a conservative and chalky draft upset some fantasy apple carts.

What follows are the 10 skill players who suffered the biggest declines in their 2022 KUBIAK projections after the draft, plus a bonus receiver who was poised for that list until a teammate suspension bought him a stay of his fantasy demotion.
