2023 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top 200 Players

Alright, let's get to the meat and potatoes – the 2023 fantasy football rankings! Remember, these rankings are based on half-PPR (0.5 PPR) scoring, but I'll provide some insights for standard and full-PPR leagues as well. Here are the top 200 players to consider for your draft:

Quarterbacks (QB)

1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs - Mahomes is the consensus number one quarterback, and for good reason. He's got the weapons, the coaching staff, and the talent to put up elite numbers once again.
2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills - Allen's dual-threat ability makes him a top-tier QB1. With Stefon Diggs and a revamped running game, Allen should continue his impressive form.
3. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers - Herbert has the potential to be the league's top scoring quarterback. His weapons are top-notch, and the addition of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore should only help his cause.
4. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles - Hurts' rushing ability makes him a QB1, and with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith at his disposal, he could be even better in
2023. 5. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens - If Jackson can stay healthy, he's a threat to finish as the top quarterback. His rushing ability is unmatched, and the Ravens' offense should be improved with the return of J.K. Dobbins and the addition of Odell Beckham Jr.

Running Backs (RB)

1. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts - Taylor is the clear-cut number one running back. He's a workhorse with elite talent and should see another heavy workload in
2023. 2. Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers - Ekeler is a fantasy football cheat code. He's a three-down back with elite receiving skills, making him a top-five pick in all formats.
3. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns - Chubb's rushing ability is unmatched, and with Kareem Hunt now in Denver, he should see an even heavier workload. He's a top-five pick in standard leagues.
4. Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints - Kamara's talent is undeniable, but his off-field issues and the Saints' uncertain quarterback situation make him a riskier pick than usual.
5. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans - Henry is a bruising runner who can carry an offense. If the Titans' offensive line can stay healthy, Henry could be in for another monster season.

Wide Receivers (WR)

1. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings - Jefferson is the clear-cut number one wide receiver. He's got elite talent, a great quarterback in Kirk Cousins, and should see another heavy workload in
2023. 2. Davante Adams, Las Vegas Raiders - Adams' move to Las Vegas has fantasy managers drooling. He's got elite talent and should see plenty of targets in the Raiders' offense.
3. Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams - Kupp is coming off an MVP-caliber season and should be drafted as a top-five wide receiver once again. Keep an eye on his injury status, though.
4. Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills - Diggs is a target monster and should see plenty of looks in the Bills' offense once again. He's a top-five pick in full-PPR leagues.
5. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys - Lamb has the talent to be a WR1 and should see plenty of targets in the Cowboys' offense. With a full season of Dak Prescott under center, Lamb could take a significant step forward in 2023.

Tight Ends (TE)

1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs - Kelce is the clear-cut number one tight end. He's got elite talent, a great quarterback in Patrick Mahomes, and should see another heavy workload in
2023. 2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens - Andrews has emerged as one of the league's top tight ends and should see plenty of targets in the Ravens' offense once again.
3. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers - Kittle is a top-tier tight end when healthy, but his injury history makes him a riskier pick than usual.
4. Darren Waller, Las Vegas Raiders - Waller's talent is undeniable, but his injury history and the Raiders' uncertain quarterback situation make him a riskier pick than usual.
5. Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons - Pitts is a freak athlete who should see plenty of targets in the Falcons' offense. With a full season of Matt Ryan under center, Pitts could take a significant step forward in 2023.

Sleepers, Breakouts, and Busts: The 2023 Fantasy Football Landscape

Now that we've covered the top 200 players let's take a look at some sleepers, breakouts, and busts to help you make informed draft decisions.

Sleepers

Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets - Wilson has the talent to be a WR1 and should see plenty of targets in the Jets' offense. With a full season of Zach Wilson under center, Wilson could be a steal in the middle rounds. Isiah Pacheco, RB, Kansas City Chiefs - Pacheco emerged as the Chiefs' lead back down the stretch and should see plenty of touches in 2023. He's a late-round steal with immense upside. * Skyy Moore, WR, Kansas City Chiefs - Moore has the talent to be a WR2 and should see plenty of targets in the Chiefs' offense. With JuJu Smith-Schuster now in Kansas City, Moore's value has taken a hit, but he's still worth a late-round flier.

Breakouts

James Cook, RB, Buffalo Bills - Cook has the talent to be an elite RB2 and should see plenty of touches in the Bills' offense. With Devin Singletary now in Houston, Cook's value has skyrocketed, and he's worth a mid-round pick. Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Godwin is finally healthy and should see plenty of targets in the Buccaneers' offense. With Tom Brady under center, Godwin is a top-tier WR2 with WR1 upside. * George Pickens, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers - Pickens has the talent to be a WR1 and should see plenty of targets in the Steelers' offense. With Kenny Pickett under center, Pickens could be a breakout candidate in 2023.

Busts

Trey Lance, QB, San Francisco 49ers - Lance has the talent to be an elite quarterback, but his injury history and the 49ers' uncertain offensive line make him a riskier pick than usual. Amari Cooper, WR, Cleveland Browns - Cooper's talent is undeniable, but his move to Cleveland has fantasy managers concerned. With Deshaun Watson under center, Cooper's value has taken a hit, and he's a risky pick in the early rounds. * D'Andre Swift, RB, Philadelphia Eagles - Swift has the talent to be an elite RB2, but his injury history and the Eagles' crowded backfield make him a riskier pick than usual. With Miles Sanders now in Carolina, Swift's value has taken a hit, and he's a risky pick in the early rounds.

Draft Strategy and Tips for 2023

Now that you've got the rankings, let's talk strategy. Here are some tips to help you dominate your draft:

Zero-RB Strategy - In half-PPR and full-PPR leagues, consider waiting on running backs. With so many talented wide receivers and tight ends available in the middle and late rounds, you can afford to wait on running backs and still field a competitive team. Superflex and Two-QB Leagues - If you're in a superflex or two-quarterback league, consider drafting a quarterback early. With so many talented quarterbacks available, you can afford to wait on running backs and still field a competitive team. Handcuffs - Make sure to handcuff your top running backs. In case of injury, handcuffs can provide valuable insurance and help you maintain your team's production. Depth - Don't forget to draft depth. Injuries happen, and having depth on your bench can help you weather the storm and make a playoff run.
