Round 1
1.01 Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons
In a draft class where so many of the RBs we used to love look like disappointments. Bijan Robinson is still that dude. He literally checks every box. Size, explosiveness, elusiveness, power, receiving ability, pass protection, and now top 10 draft capital. Immediately, he’s going to be a day 1 workhorse. All in all, not only is he the rookie 1.01 but he should be your dynasty RB1. This is a can’t-miss prospect.
1.02 Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions
While this is probably going to be the most shocking pick in the NFL Draft. Detroit moved back and drafted their running back of the future. Jahmyr Gibbs is a talented back that will do a lot of work in the passing game. Detroit was a top 5 offense and adding Gibbs should help continue that offensive success. With D’Andre Swift being traded, Gibbs should be locked and loaded to have a productive rookie season.
1.03 Jordan Addison, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Thanks to this landing spot, Jordan Addison will never see double coverage in his career in Minnesota. With Jefferson being such a target hog, I liken Addison’s impact and potential ceiling similar to that of DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia. Furthermore, Addison will fill in the void that was attempted to be filled by KJ Osborn after Adam Thielen was released. Look for Addison to thrive in an offense that focuses heavily on targeting the wide receivers.
1.04 Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seattle Seahawks
Despite the lackluster landing spot Jaxon Smith-Njigba is still easily my WR1 in the class. He’s the total package and quieted any doubters about his athleticism with his test this off-season. Yet, Tyler Lockett could move on as early as next year as well. Smith-Njigba will pair very well with an outside big-bodied wide receiver in DK Metcalf.
1.05 Quentin Johnston, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
This may be a boom or bust pick, but at the 1.05 I’m taking a shot on the immense upside of Quentin Johnston. Johnston is one of the only receivers in this class with size, elite burst, and good enough speed. Furthermore, he also broke out at TCU early, at age 18.9, and produced every year he was there. This culminated in his senior season where he produced over 1,000 receiving yards for a team that made it to the National Championship game.
Now, he is paired up with one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL in Justin Herbert. Overall, that seems like a good combination to me. and with the draft capital Johnston received he will get every chance to succeed in an offense that is going to throw the ball a lot.
1.06 Zay Flowers, WR, Baltimore Ravens
While the 1.06 is not a choice, it’s a spot where you take what falls. In this case, the last of the first-round receivers was still on the board so that was the pick. Out of the four first-round wide receivers, Zay Flowers has arguably the least competition. Also, an aging and injured Odell Beckham Jr. and an oft-injured and unproven Rashod Bateman are all that stand between him and a massive rookie breakout. Certainly, Flowers would have been my second choice behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, so to get him as the fourth option is great.
1.07 Devon Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins
It’s hard to compare a player to that of Devon Achane. While his small size (5’8, 188 pounds) is noticeable, on tape he played a lot bigger than this. With his blazing speed (4.32), He is now paired up with one of the fastest offenses in the league and is now paired with Mike McDaniel. Not to mention the running back room in Miami being meh, the addition of Achane gives this offense the kick it needs.
The contact balance and toughness are what the Dolphins need and they got it in the 3rd round with Achane. I love this pick a lot and being able to take him here at the 1.07 I love a lot, especially in 1QB leagues. This kid has league-winning potential written all over him.
1.08 Dalton Kincaid, TE, Buffalo Bills
So in 1QB rookie drafts, this past 2023 NFL Draft really didn’t do us too many favors. All in all, this hyped running back class was kind of a bit of a letdown. Normally in this position, I was gearing myself up pre-draft to possibly take a back like Zach Charbonnet but the Seattle landing spot for him was atrocious.
Another player I liked a lot and had ranked high through the whole process who I considered here was the 4th running back taken this weekend Kendre Miller who ended up in New Orleans. While I do like the landing spot for Miller, at the end of the day seriously high-end draft capital does matter.
Here I’m going with the last 1st round skill player who isn’t a quarterback here in Dalton Kincaid. We’re always looking for the positional advantage at tight end in dynasty fantasy football and I feel Kincaid can be a guy who can possibly provide it. He exudes athleticism and lands with an air raid-type offense that best suits his skill set. Ultimately, I feel this is a great spot for the big tight end out of Utah.
1.09 Kendre Miller, RB, New Orleans Saints
Accordingly, there are three things to look for in rookies. Talent, draft capital, and opportunity. While some analysts will go back and forth on Kendre Miller’s talent, he got day two draft capital and walks into an offense where Alvin Kamara could be suspended. Yet, both Kamara and Jamaal Williams aren’t spring chickens. This is a 2024 play, but a strong one.
1.10 Roschon Johnson, RB, Chicago Bears
This is a tough spot, where there were a few players to consider here. Roschon Johnson was already in my top six before the draft and after seeing his landing spot as well as concerns with some other players, I am comfortable moving him up a bit now. While 4th round draft capital is not ideal, he was also the 8th running back taken and has a clearer path as well as no injury concerns.
While other positions were considered here, the depth of those positions helped me make this decision. PFF graded Johnson as the most elusive back in this class and it wasn’t even close. He scored 198, while Bijan was 2nd at 169.1. Johnson was also 6th in yards after contact at 6’0 and 219 pounds.
1.11 Jonathan Mingo, WR, Carolina Panthers
Surprisingly the Panthers drafted Jonathan Mingo early in the 2nd round. This gives the top overall pick, Bryce Young, a wide receiver who could be used all over the field. Here, I drafted Mingo with this pick at the 1.11 to give my dynasty team a Flex option that could develop into a solid starter down the road.
Mingo is a big-bodied weapon who will dominate smaller cornerbacks and will be a reliable target in their offense for many years. For one thing, he’ll be a huge red-zone threat and has great run-after-catch skills that’ll produce tons of fantasy points. He’ll be a good addition to anyone’s fantasy teams looking to add depth to their rosters.
1.12 Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seattle Seahawks
Albeit the Seattle Seahawks’ landing spot wasn’t ideal, the second-round capital is worth investing into. That should be the motto for Zach Charbonnet and his potential owners this draft season.
While Kenneth Walker isn’t likely to be taking every snap, the Seahawks are signaling that to us. However, in this brave new running back by committee world, you need multiple talented players. Charbonnet showed pass-catching prowess, coming down with 61 catches in his two seasons starting for UCLA. In general, take a deep breath and realize the Seahawks aren’t running one guy into the ground.
Charbonnet’s skill set allows for big plays and efficiency when he gets it. All in all, that’s what dynasty managers should like at running back, especially with his capital and being available here in our late first round.
Round 2
2.01 Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts
This is one of those rare instances where my quarterback rankings are different in Superflex than 1QB. In a Superflex league, I’m taking Stroud at 1.02, because in my opinion, he offers the best floor and ceiling combination. However, in 1QB rookie drafts where you could’ve gotten Daniel Jones off waivers in a lot of cases last year, I’m taking a swing on a true difference-maker at the position.
There are only five or six guys in the league pushing for 20 fantasy PPG, and I think Anthony Richardson has a chance to be one of them. Furthermore, I love the landing spot with Shane Steichen, who helped develop Jalen Hurts as a passer in Philadelphia. For one thing, I love the weapons around Richardson. Additionally, I love his rushing floor and his arm talent. Colts country, let’s ride.
2.02 Bryce Young, QB, Carolina Panthers
At this spot, I was interested in going with Tyjae Spears, but ended up going with Bryce Young. Provided that Young felt like the safer pick due to draft capital and career longevity. Furthermore, Carolina seems to be bringing in some veteran assets to help Young out. After all, they also went and drafted Jonathan Mingo to help the wide receiver room.
Young is one of those players that has been doubted due to size concerns. Luckily, he has the brains to know exactly what to do on each play before it happens. Overall, I believe he has all the talent in the world and will be a solid play for the next 10+ years.
2.03 Tyjae Spears, RB, Tennessee Titans
Tyjae Spears has just the one ACL, but looking at the rest of the board? In other words, it gets scary at running back after this. As one could argue it’s scary now even.
Spears is a versatile player in a run-first scheme that has Derrick Henry in the last year of his contract. Yet, the knee may scare away some folks cause Spears will only play “one contract”. But, that’s about exactly how long people like Day 2 running backs in fantasy anyways.
2.04 Michael Mayer, TE, Las Vegas Raiders
Despite being selected behind Kincaid, I believe Michael Mayer is the most complete tight end in the class. He’s coming off of back-to-back 800-yard seasons and had over a 30% target share in 2022. Also, he’s a great blocker and excels at finding soft spots in zone coverage too. Overall, Mayer should be a starter right away and be a top-10 fantasy football tight end for a long time.
2.05 Marvin Mims, WR, Denver Broncos
While this might be unpopular with some fantasy football managers, when considering some of the other players still left on the board, I don’t care. I love Marvin Mims. It’s clear that Sean Payton wasn’t happy with the wide receiver room in Denver.
Since trade rumors swirled in the weeks leading up to the NFL Draft, the final proof in the pudding is the selection of Mims in Round 2, pick No. 63 overall. Mims is a wide receiver with elite speed and burst whose best comparable player on Player Profiler is Darnell Mooney. Combine this with an 18.5 Breakout Age, and I’m all in on Mims.
2.06 Sam LaPorta, TE, Detroit Lions
Although the depth that this class had pre-draft has turned out to be a mirage, we see just how quickly the talent pool dries up. So with that in mind why not draft TJ Hockenson 2.0? Sam LaPorta is positioned best out of all the tight ends in this draft class to make an immediate impact.
2.07 Josh Downs, WR, Indianapolis Colts
The Colts added an offensive weapon to pair with fellow rookie Anthony Richardson in Josh Downs. While Downs slipped further than I thought he would, pairing him with a quarterback with accuracy issues is a perfect match. Furthermore, we should also see Downs excel in the slot. Surely if I’m in PPR leagues, I will be taking Downs all day as he should be the safest option for Richardson.
2.08 Jayden Reed, WR, Green Bay Packers
Jayden Reed was one of our personal favorite sleeper wide receivers in this class. As we all thought he was worthy of second-round draft capital and Green Bay made it happen by picking him 50th overall this past weekend. Particularly, he’s a guy that plays big for his size and we feel he has a good amount of upside with his speed and his big play ability.
Definitely like getting him here in the late 2nd round with his overall upside and going to an offense in Green Bay. Furthermore, Reed may see some opportunities sooner rather than later. Overall, there is a possibility we really feel he could be a steal even in the 2nd round!
2.09 Tank Bigsby, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Travis Etienne was everyone’s darling entering the 2022 season. With a clear backfield, a first-round pedigree, and proven pass-catching ability, he was set to explode. Instead, he finished as the RB17 with frustrating usage.
Now Tank Bigsby, an SEC prospect with a breakout age of 18 and over 80th percentile dominator rating is in town. Bigsby received third-round draft capital and is a solid handcuff at worst.
2.10 Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
Rashee Rice is moving up boards and I have seen him go as early as 1.10. Rice’s draft capital and landing spot bring optimism. Rice was already a top 10 rookie wide receiver on most boards and this just brought him closer to the top five.
People were burned last year by Skyy Moore and I would caution anyone taking Rice in Round 1. But, in Round 2 the upside is extremely enticing. Rice was working out with Patrick Mahomes prior to the draft and that is another reason for optimism.
2.11 C.J. Stroud, QB, Houston Texans
I took C.J. Stroud, my top-ranked quarterback of this class here with the 2.11. Personally, I think he is the safest bet out of the top three rookie quarterbacks for fantasy football. While he has the size, arm strength, and elite accuracy, he also has the ability to throw from the pocket and can scramble for rushing yards.
For a 1QB league, this is a tremendous value in rookie drafts. I was considering him at the 1.11 last round, so getting my 13th-ranked overall player in a single quarterback draft at pick 23 is a steal. He’ll be an instant contributor at the NFL level and a starter from day one for many years to come.
2.12 Luke Musgrave, TE, Green Bay Packers
The fourth tight end taken and my personal TE2 in the class, Luke Musgrave has a positive outlook at the NFL level. Furthermore, the top 50 draft capital gives him security to eventually show his skills, and this is a player we can project starting for the Packers soon.
This is not Robert Tonyan 2.0. Musgrave is an asset the Packers invested highly into and could become Jordan Love’s safety outlet. Additionally, he is a solid route runner that should thrive in the Packers’ short passing game while also providing a strong and big vertical threat with speed. Big, fast, and high draft capital are all positives at this position starving for stars.
Round 3
3.01 Tank Dell, WR, Houston Texans
I know, I know. Tank Dell is 5’8 and 165 pounds, and not even an elite athlete to compensate. Historically, that has not been a profile that hits for fantasy. But here in the 3rd round of a 1QB draft, it’s getting pretty thin.
For the most part, most of these players this late won’t hit. So let me take a shot at the guy who gets open consistently, got Day 2 draft capital, and has a pretty clear path to start year one. I think you could make the argument that Dell is the most talented wide receiver on the Houston Texans right now.
3.02 Chase Brown, RB, Cincinnati Bengals
Chase Brown was one of my favorite players to watch film on. When you watch him you noticed he is pretty good at about everything. Specifically, he has soft hands out of the backfield and great patience. Brown is a little smaller running back, but he has good contact balance and is slippery.
Overall, landing with the Bengals is great for him. Joe Mixon’s name was in the news all off-season. Brown might see playing time sooner than expected.
3.03 Michael Wilson, WR, Arizona Cardinals
This next season in Arizona is bound for low expectations. 17 games will still need to be played in that time frame. Not to mention Michael Wilson‘s tape says he is worthy of the Round 2 capital he received. Additionally, he is an impeccable craftsman as a route runner, using leverage to create separation at the breakpoint of routes. This move is to get ahead of the Sophomore breakout before it happens.
Wilson is a Pro’s Pro with his approach to the game and should move up the depth chart. Right now, most of the Arizona receiving core has questions on the future longevity of the team outside of 2023. Wilson’s name should be one to keep an eye on, especially in 2024.
3.04 Cedric Tillman, WR, Cleveland Browns
Cedric Tillman was the top wide receiver in Tennessee in 2021 before injuries opened up the door for Jalin Hyatt. However, unlike so many in this though class, he possesses ideal size and is a strong pass catcher in traffic. Regardless, a lack of top-end speed could limit his upside at the next level. There will be plenty of competition for targets in the Cleveland Browns’ offense too.
3.05 Will Levis, QB, Tennessee Titans
I know he slid on draft night, but Will Levis has a real shot at a starting job in Tennessee. For one thing, he was supposed to be a Round 1 pick and because he slipped to pick No. 33 we are getting a discount here. Give me a shot on a quarterback with size, mobility, arm strength, and a real chance to be a difference-maker in a 1QB dynasty league.
All things considered, landing in Tennessee with Mike Vrabel, is a sneaky good landing spot. Although he might not start this year, he gets that developmental year under his belt and proves to be a good starter in the NFL in 2024.
3.06 Hendon Hooker, QB, Detroit Lions
If it weren’t for a late-season ACL injury, Hendon Hooker would have gone in the first round of the NFL Draft. Suddenly he lands in the perfect situation in Detroit where can sit, learn and heal for a year before becoming the starter.
3.07 Israel Abanikanda, RB, New York Jets
Even though he was a fifth-round pick, I do love the landing spot here for Israel Abanikanda. This kid has it all. While many thought he would have gone earlier in the draft, he fell to the New York Jets in the 5th round. I love this landing spot a lot as now Breece Hall doesn’t have to be rushed back.
Additionally, a tandem of Michael Carter with Abanikanda will be a great mix as Hall comes back from his injury. Here, Aaron Rodgers could have a similar tandem in Hall and Abanikanda as he did in Green Bay with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon.
3.08 Jalin Hyatt, WR, New York Giants
While I love looking for some upside later in rookie drafts, I definitely feel if you can get Jalin Hyatt here it’s a pretty solid value. He now has decent capital as the Giants took him 73rd overall in the 3rd Round. Additionally, Hyatt is coming into a Giants receiver room where there are a lot of veterans, but nobody that just stands out. Overall, he could see some playing time sooner rather than later.
Many people expected him to run faster in the 40, and when he didn’t his stock tumbled. While I do think he’s a little raw, landing with the Giants and Daboll may really help his development. He may be a really nice pickup, especially getting him here considering at the beginning of this process he was mocked to be a first-round guy. With good coaching, he may eventually flourish.
3.09 Darnell Washington, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers
Everyone loves Pat Freiermuth, but he’s not nearly the athlete Darnell Washington is. As long as Washington’s medicals don’t hold him back, he’s a 6’7 monster with unlimited potential. If not, the dynasty community will know quickly so he won’t clog rosters.
3.10 Zach Evans, RB, Los Angeles Rams
Zach Evans has been punished enough, I will take a shot at the end of the 3rd round. Evans’ fall in the NFL Draft has him falling hard in your rookie drafts. I don’t blame you as there is definitely a risk. Consequently, I just can’t ignore the reward when the price is this low. Evans is an explosive back and he gets paired with Sean McVay. Cam Akers is in front of him and he has a love/hate relationship with McVay. Akers is also coming up on the end of his contract.
3.11 Evan Hull, RB, Indianapolis Colts
This late in the draft, I always shoot for a player with upside. Since we’re at the end of the 3rd round, I decided to draft Evan Hull with the 3.11 pick. While I’m willing to take a flier on him this late, I’ll stash him on my taxi squad, and see how he is utilized in the Colts offense.
Consequently, Hull may even have some early standalone value as the 3rd down pass-catching running back taking over the Nyheim Hines role. All in all with his 210-pound frame, and pass-catching ability, he has a chance to eventually carve out a three-down role in the NFL.
3.12 Kayshon Boutte, WR, New England Patriots
Alright, we’re late in round three and it’s time to take big risks and big swings. Given that I’ve decided Kayshon Boutte is the best talent currently available. The workouts are over, the draft is over, and finally, he was picked by the Patriots. Now, it’s time to get to work.
While most of these players late aren’t gonna see substantial NFL playing time, taking a player formerly touted as a first-rounder feels like the perfect big swing at 3.12. Boutte’s strength and catching traits are still there along with opportunity in a wide-open wide receiver room. All in all, selecting him here is the risk I’m willing to take as I know he won’t fall back to me in the fourth round.
Round 4
4.01 Tyler Scott, WR, Chicago Bears
Tyler Scott was a pretty big faller for me in the draft. While he had been getting 2nd Round buzz before the draft, he was my WR6 on film grade. Furthermore, I went on to study his tape expecting to see a pure deep threat. Instead I saw a pretty great route runner who also happened to have explosive speed.
But alas, he fell to Round 4. He’s a Darnell Mooney clone who is buried behind Mooney on the depth chart. But still, in Round 4 he’s a fine dart throw. Interestingly enough, before the draft, I’d have probably taken Scott at 3.01 and Tank Dell at 4.01. However, after the draft, that’s flipped.
4.02 Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Dallas Cowboys
Luke Schoonmaker landed with the Dallas Cowboys at pick 58. Overall, this is a good landing spot with Dalton Schultz leaving town and the Cowboys drafting tight ends well. Even though you would imagine he will have a shot at battling it out to be TE1 there. Schoonmaker is a decent blocker that can find soft spots in the zone. At this point in the draft, I’m happy to grab someone with opportunities.
4.03 Xavier Hutchinson, WR, Houston Texans
Xavier Hutchinson was THE most productive receiver last season. He ended the season as a finalist for the Biletnikoff while on an Iowa State team that won a paltry four games this past season. Hutchinson has hands that are automatic. Additionally, he shows exceptional fundamentals, plucking the ball naturally at its soonest moment of arrival. Although, his explosiveness will need more work to become a greater impact in the NFL. But as a name in a very lackluster receiving core in Houston, he is ripe with opportunity for production.
4.04 Deuce Vaughn, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Deuce Vaughn was one of the most productive running backs in college football last year with over 1,900 all-purpose yards. He is an excellent pass catcher who has a knack for the endzone as well. Obviously, the problem is his size at only 5’5 and 179 pounds. While Vaughn’s the shortest player ever measured at the NFL Combine, he will struggle to get enough volume to be fantasy relevant. Nonetheless, there isn’t a better football player left in this rookie draft.
4.05 Tucker Kraft, TE, Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers decided to double-tap the tight end position in Round 3 of the NFL Draft with pick No. 78 overall with Tucker Kraft. Kraft is good enough athletically and possesses good size for the position of tight end. In fact, Kraft ranked as the No. 6 tight end in the class in PlayerProfiler’s Athleticism Score, which makes this a nice pick in Round 4 of a rookie draft.
There is a chance he sees playing time in year one as Jordan Love and the Packers are likely going to be comfortable with two tight ends on the field. Simply put, at this stage in the draft, I really like taking a chance on someone with Kraft’s athletic profile, draft capital, and potential opportunity in year one.
4.06 DeWayne McBride, RB, Minnesota Vikings
DeWayne McBride has the size, speed, and skill to be dominant. The only thing standing in his way is the aging Dalvin Cook. However, it appears that the Vikings might be preparing for life after Cook. Keep an eye on this situation, but if Cook somehow ends anywhere besides Minnesota, McBride’s value will skyrocket.
4.07 Eric Gray, RB, New York Giants
Many thought that Eric Gray would go undrafted. To surprise us, Gray went in the fifth round to the New York Giants. While many may not like this pick, I like it here, especially in the fourth round. As of now, Saquon Barkley hasn’t signed his franchise tag, nor have there been any talks about a long-term deal.
This backfield doesn’t have much behind it, so Gray could easily slide in as the RB2. Per PFF College, Gray had 44 carries of 10-plus yards, which was first among Big 12 running backs. Albeit, he may not burn you, you will definitely feel the power that Gray has on the field. Overall, he is a running back I am targeting in all drafts this year at this price.
4.08 Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams
The Rams grabbed Puka Nacua on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft, and he’s someone that showed a little bit of flash on tape. I really like the landing spot in Los Angeles as he steps into an offense where there are opportunities to be had. While in a pretty open wide receiver room, we also saw the Rams ship Allen Robinson off to Pittsburgh for peanuts. Furthermore, we also have Cooper Kupp coming back from his injury. Also, I feel good about getting him here late in Round 4 and hope he sees the field in 2023.
4.09 A.T. Perry, WR, New Orleans Saints
Will Michael Thomas ever play a full season again? Is Rashid Shaheed a real football player? Find out, on the next episode of Saints wide receivers. This late in the draft, everyone is a dart throw. AT Perry landing in New Orleans is a decent landing spot. He could make a run at the WR3 role on this offense now led by Derek Carr.
4.10 Sean Tucker, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Unfortunately, Sean Tucker might have been the biggest faller after the draft. He was going in the early 2nd round and in Superflex drafts he is now going undrafted. It seems the heart condition was enough to scare the NFL teams away and the draft capital is proof of that.
However, Tucker is still worth a swing for the fences in the late 4th round or as a UDFA stash. He has a better opportunity than a lot of the backs that did get drafted and as a UDFA he got a large $155k guaranteed deal. This is more than most 7th-round picks. All in all, he has been punished enough, I will gladly take a shot on him.
4.11 Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Parker Washington is a quarterback’s best friend. All they need to do is toss the ball in his area and he’ll come down with it. He’s an athletic wide receiver who has the powerful frame of a running back. In fact, he has that catch-and-run threat ability, plus has reliable hands, and makes catches in traffic. This late in the draft I’m looking for a player with potential who can increase in value for the future. Washington is that guy who will eventually earn targets in the Jaguars’ pass-heavy offense.
4.12 Charlie Jones, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
As I took a big swing in round three, here in round four it’s about maximizing opportunity. Charlie Jones is a fast wide receiver from Purdue and should easily be the WR4 for the Bengals. Furthermore, the fourth-round capital is nice at this point in the draft. Additionally, with both Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins‘ contract situations being unknown, there’s reason to believe Jones could be at least this team’s third wide receiver for the majority of his contract.
