Who will lead the New England Patriots in touchdowns in 2022?

The New England Patriots have quite a few solid pieces on offense who could lead the team in touchdowns for the 2022 season.  Their deep with playmakers, but none of the playmakers are truly elite.  It’s both a good and bad situation, as many of the players can have a breakout performance here and there, but none of them can, as of now, do that from week to week.

Last year, Damien Harris lead the team last year with 15 touchdowns.  They were all rushing touchdowns, and Harris looks poised to be able to do that again in 2022.  Rhamondre Stevenson might give him a run for his money as the starting running back, but Harris appears to be the lead guy so far.

If Mac Jones does make the year two leap that some are predicting, that’ll bring the passing offense to life, which will greatly help.  DeVante Parker is the clear WR1 for the team, but Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne are solid second and third options.

Hunter Henry is likely going to start the season as the 1a to Jonnu Smith’s 1b in the tight end room.  Of those five playmakers besides Harris, could any of them lead the team in touchdowns?  I would feel comfortable in saying that DeVante Parker could.  He’s a great contested catch threat who excels in the redzone and is the most talented receiver the team has by quite a bit.

I’d also say that it might be unlikely that Damien Harris has 15 rushing touchdowns again, considering he had two last year.  Perhaps since the Patriots have multiple players who could lead the team in touchdowns, we’ll more consistency here.

I think there are several players on the roster who could notch at least five scores in 2022, so maybe we’ll see more of a balance here.  Mac Jones having quite a bit of players at his disposal is a great thing, and it would be wise of him to try to take advantage of all of these solid weapons in 2022.
