If you are here, you are beyond the definition of excited for the 2023 NFL Draft. With the NFL Draft also comes our rookie drafts in our dynasty fantasy football leagues. We finally get to use all the research you find here to truly dominate your fantasy leagues. Let’s break down how to rank your top 12 players in a Superflex league. Remember that variables like draft capital, location, and the dynasty team could vary in this order within your personal rookie draft.

Bijan Robinson

Yes, Superflex emphasizes the quarterback position. However, talent like Bijan Robinson only appears once in a blue moon. With the question marks surrounding the quarterbacks in this draft, please give me the sure-fire talent that can dominate for the following four to five years.

Bryce Young

These next three picks can all switch depending on who goes number one overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. The betting favorite is Bryce Young. With only Andy Dalton there, he could start the season or be inserted toward the beginning of the year. Furthermore, he is creative and one of the best playmakers for this position in the rookie draft. With his opportunity tied to a trusted coach, Young should be the safest of the big three at quarterback.

Anthony Richardson

Anthony Richardson is my favorite player in this draft. He looks like he was built in a lab and reminds me of Jalen Hurts. Personally, if I could choose my favorite landing spot for him, it would be the Indianapolis Colts. Richardson will have the coach in Shane Steichen, who helped build Jalen Hurts, with a strong veteran in Gardner Minshew to let him sit back and develop the weak points in his game. Drafting Anthony Richardson comes with the caveat that he will start later in the year or 2024, but also knowing that no one else provides the upside he can bring to your roster.

C.J. Stroud

How the mighty have fallen when it comes to C.J. Stroud. If you back up the train a few weeks, he was the number one overall pick in the draft and probably the second pick in your rookie mock. Now with his S2 scores leaking, the Young news catapulting him to the first overall pick, and countless other media stories, we sit here with concerns over Stroud.

My biggest issue with him is how he plays under pressure. His pressure grade on PFF was 43.9, which can scare me off a prospect depending on the landing spot. Not feeling the rush well can lead to the deer in the headlight syndrome that has destroyed multiple prospects in the past. He has talent, but I wonder if he brings the same level of playmaker that Young and Richardson possess for me to put him ahead of them.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba

For me, Jaxon Smith-Njigba (JSN) sits in a class of his own regarding the players outside of quarterbacks. He is the clear-cut WR1 in this draft for me. Additionally, he has the talent, the target opportunity with being able to play the slot, and if Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson both have said he was the best of the three at Ohio State, who am I to disagree?

Jahmyr Gibbs

Some people love Jahmyr Gibbs, and others are hesitant. I’ll be aboard his hype train if Gibbs has a beautiful landing spot like the Kanas City Chiefs or maybe my Philadelphia Eagles. He reminds me of Jamaal Charles, which in the right scheme, can be unique. When you watch Gibbs play, he looks like he is on fast-forward. With his receiving ability and his want to still lower his shoulder and deliver a hit, the only thing that could take him off the field is his mistakes during pass protection. Overall, the volume should be there, and volume is king in fantasy football.

Zach Charbonnet

Zach Charbonnet has grown on me throughout this off-season. He has an arsenal of moves and knows how to use them all efficiently. The combination of height (6’0) and weight (214) that screams Charbonnett can be a bell cow running back to me. Additionally, he possesses soft hands. Combining that with broken tackles means he is a chain mover. I see a touchdown upside attached to him that reminds me of LeGarrette Blount.

Will Levis

Let’s start with how I have little faith in Will Levis, so why is he here? Positional importance is the answer. In Superflex, you need quarterbacks. Like Lebron James says “Not one, not two, not three…”. A plethora of quarterbacks gives your roster a chance to compete.

Furthermore, Levis is a downfield pass and can expand the field with the strength of his arm. He also handles pressure well, which is essential to me. Additionally, he has to work on his footwork, and the fact he couldn’t start at Penn State worries me. However, I am willing to load up at this position even if it isn’t great because I know I’ll at least get starts from him in the next one to three years.

Zay Flowers

Zay Flowers should be the second wide receiver off the board this weekend. He showed he is a grinder and works hard by adding 12 pounds to his frame for the NFL Combine.

Flowers has player comps to Antonio Brown and is a moveable weapon. Whatever team he ends up on has a very talented player considering he is making this much noise coming from a college that couldn’t provide him with a decent quarterback. Imagine if he becomes tied to Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and Josh Allen.

Quentin Johnston

If Quentin Johnston didn’t play smaller than his body frame, he would be much higher in this ranking. That being said, I will be excited if he lands with the Chargers, Giants, or even Lions. He is an X receiver for a team and is a massive target. As for negatives, I wish he didn’t catch as many balls as he does with his body. A bit of risk in selecting him, but the reward may be worth it.

Jordan Addison

Compared to most analysts, I am lower on wide receiver Jordan Addison. I understand he can be a high-end wide receiver two for a team. However, when you combine his slow speed testing scores (especially at his size) with his past drop issues, that’s a combination for roster poisoning. As a result, the landing spot could not get him to move up for me in my rankings.

Tyjae Spears

This pick is my most challenging selection between Tyjae Spears and Dalton Kincaid. However, in the first two rounds, my first thought is always a running back or wide receiver, then I move towards loading up on tight ends. Players like Kincaid can be the exception to the rule. That being said, I love the home run potential with Spears. If the landing spot is juicy (Bengals, Eagles, Dolphins, or even the Bears), I’ll be more than excited about Spears to make him a first-round pick in my rookie mock drafts.
