Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had a field day against the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, securing nine catches for 113 yards in Los Angeles’ 20-17 victory. However, Beckham could be among the toughest Fantasy football start-sit decisions when Los Angeles squares off against the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 56. The Bengals are giving up just 19.7 points per game thus far in the 2022 NFL playoffs, but where should he be in your Super Bowl Fantasy football rankings?
Is Beckham a lock to include in your Fantasy football lineups for the 2022 Super Bowl, or should your Fantasy football strategy for the 2022 Super Bowl be built around another wideout like Cooper Kupp or Ja’Marr Chase? Before locking in in your Fantasy football lineups for Super Bowl LVI, be sure to check out the playoff Fantasy football rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine’s model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.
In the championship round, the model was extremely high on 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel, ranking him as the top player at his position. The result: Samuel finished with 98 all-purpose yards and a touchdown in San Francisco’s loss. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a huge week.
Now, the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its 2022 Super Bowl Fantasy football rankings. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2022 Super Bowl Fantasy football picks
One player the model is high on: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Los Angeles’ signal caller is coming off a strong showing against a stingy 49ers defense, throwing for 337 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Stafford has now thrown two or more touchdown passes in his last five games.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati’s defense gave up three passing touchdowns to Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Championship Game. In addition, the Bengals gave up an average of 248.4 passing yards per game during the regular season, which ranked 26th in the NFL. With weapons like Kupp, Beckham and Van Jefferson at his disposal, SportsLine’s model is projecting Stafford to have a field day against Cincinnati’s secondary.
And a massive shocker: Bengals running back Joe Mixon, who finished the regular season ranked in the top five in carries (292), yards (1,205) and touchdowns (13), stumbles big-time and averages just 3.2 yards per carry against Los Angeles.
Mixon is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry in the 2022 NFL playoffs and has had trouble finding the end zone in recent weeks. In fact, Mixon has scored just one touchdown in his last four games. In addition, Los Angeles’ defense is giving up just 54.0 rushing yards per game during the postseason. With such a tough matchup on Sunday, Mixon is a player to consider leaving out of your 2022 Super Bowl Fantasy football lineups.
