Robert Tonyan

2022 Fantasy Upside
Robert Tonyan returns to a Packers team with gaping holes in their target distribution from last season. Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are gone, leaving a whopping 223 targets available to be absorbed by Tonyan and his fellow pass catchers. Tonyan was frustrating last year, and eventually suffered a season-ending injury, but his breakout 2020 season saw him post a 52-586-11 line as he formed a great rapport with Aaron Rodgers, particularly in the red zone. Tonyan will be one of the more veteran pass catchers in Green Bay this season along with Allen Lazard and Sammy Watkins. Tonyan has the potential to be one of Rodgers' top targets this season, and that type of player is the type you want at the tight end spot should you stick to RBs and WRs early in drafts.

2022 Fantasy Downside
Tonynan is still recovering from the season-ending ACL tear he suffered in Week 8 of last season. While there is hope he will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, it is not clear he will be as of this writing. Should Tonyan suffer any setbacks or start training camp on the PUP List, his draft stock would plummet accordingly. Even if he is healthy, Tonyan will return to a drastically different offense, largely due to the absence of Adams. It is possible the Packers offense sees some regression this season, and that would necessarily dampen Tonyan's fantasy outlook.

2022 Bottom Line
Tonyan's fantasy outlook largely hinges on his health and the updates we get throughout the Summer. If he is healthy heading into training camp, Tonyan makes for an interesting TE1 flier in the later rounds as the clear top pass-catching TE in Green Bay.
