We are now one third into the 2022 National Football League regular season. Here are the top offensive rookies of the week from winning teams. For the first time in 2022, a quarterback is ranked number one.

5) Alec Pierce–Indianapolis Colts

The first year wideout from the University of Cincinnati had three catches for 49 yards and the game-winning touchdown catch from Matt Ryan for 32 yards with 17 seconds left as the Colts beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-27. On the year, Pierce now has 18 catches for 271 yards. Pierce’s dramatic catch on Sunday was his first ever NFL touchdown.


4) Kenneth Walker III–Seattle Seahawks

The rookie running back from Michigan State had his first NFL start after the season-ending injury to Rashaad Penny and made the most of it as he had 21 rushes for 97 yards and one touchdown, along with two catches for 13 yards as the Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 19-9.

3) Tyquan Thornton–New England Patriots

The rookie wide receiver from Baylor University only played his second NFL game on Sunday, and found the end zone twice. Thornton had a two-yard touchdown pass from Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe in the third quarter, and then a 19-yard rushing touchdown with four minutes and 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter in a 38-15 Patriots win over the Cleveland Browns.

2) Breece Hall–New York Jets

Hall has been number one on our list the last two weeks. This week he is number two. On Sunday, the New York Jets won their third straight game as they went into Lambeau and clobbered the Green Bay Packers 27-10. Hall had 20 rushes for 116 yards and one touchdown along with two catches for five yards. Join Our Competition Club Here


1) Bailey Zappe–New England Patriots

With the injury to Mac Jones, Bryan Hoyer was next up on the New England depth chart but had concussion issues. Bailey Zappe is now the Patriots short term QB and has filled in admirably. In the 23-point New England win in Cleveland on Sunday, Zappe completed 24 of 34 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns.
