Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2019
Rodriguez was arrested in May for careless driving and driving under the influence, so a suspension could affect his availability for the 2022 season. When on the field Rodriguez is one of the nation's most dangerous pure runners, making little impact as a receiver (13 receptions in four years) but breezing past triple-digit rushing yardage most weeks (1,379 rushing yards in 13 games in 2021). Rodriguez will need to show better ball security, though, after fumbling five times last year, so between that and the potential suspension there is some risk here.
