As fantasy football becomes more complex and competitive, leveraging every possible advantage during your draft is crucial to securing a winning team. One of the more sophisticated strategies for PPR (Points Per Reception) formats revolves around understanding and utilizing target shares for the WR (Wide Receiver) and TE (Tight End) positions (Spoiler, Only one TE makes today's list). You can probably guess the one TE. What Target Share Data Can Tell Us A player's target share or the percentage of team targets a player receives, can be a very revealing statistic. It provides: Insight into the player's role in the offense. Their rapport with the quarterback. Their potential for high-volume production. This information can paint a comprehensive picture of their expected role and output when paired with a player's projected fantasy points for the upcoming season.

Analysis: Impact of Quarterback Run Game on Fantasy Football Value (2017-2022) The growing influence of the QB run game in fantasy football has become a focal point in recent years. By analyzing the data from 2017 through 2022, this article will explore whether QBs who frequently engage in the run game contribute to higher overall fantasy points, potentially indicating a greater fantasy value. Data Overview The table below compares the average fantasy points generated by QBs from the run game and their overall fantasy points from 2017 to 2022 season. The data shows a moderate increase in the contribution of the run game to total fantasy points over the years. From 2017 to 2022, the percentage of fantasy points generated from the run game increased from 13% to 19%. Comparing Top Performances To further investigate this trend, we evaluated the top ten fantasy performances from 2018 to 2022: This data suggests a trend where QBs achieve higher fantasy points with a higher percentage of points from the run game. Interestingly, this pattern seems more prominent in the top performances, with an average of 20% of the points stemming from the run game, compared to 14% when considering all QB performances. To identify the QBs driving this trend, we can consider individual players such as Lamar Jackson (2019), Justin Fields (2022), Jalen Hurts (2021 and 2022), and Josh Allen (2020, 2021, and 2022), who all showed high fantasy points from the run game, thereby contributing significantly to their overall fantasy points. Run Game Centric QBs Next, we focused on QBs who produced 100 or more of their total fantasy points through the run game. Here is a summary of the top 10 performances: The data reveals that their overall fantasy points increase considerably when QBs contribute significantly to the run game. The percentage of fantasy points derived from running reaches an impressive average of 39%. Conclusion The data from 2017 to 2022 indicates an evolving landscape for fantasy football QBs, where the ability to contribute to the run game is becoming increasingly crucial for higher fantasy value. While other factors, such as a team's offensive strategy, the strength of their offensive line, and individual QB skills, are essential, the running ability of a QB cannot be overlooked when drafting a successful fantasy team. Today's Analysis And What We are Looking To Identify Quantifying Quarterbacks Based on the Percentage of Fantasy Points Earned as a Runner: In 2022, Justin Fields stood out, scoring 162 of his 296 total fantasy points in the run game. This equates to 21% more fantasy points earned as a runner than a passer. Following Fields, Jalen Hurts scored 154 fantasy points as a runner, Josh Allen scored 118, and Daniel Jones added 112. Forecasting 2023 What Player Could Rival Lamar Jackson's 2019 MVP Performance? Early projections for 2023 suggest that the same names will continue to dominate as runners. One player who could reach MVP-level numbers in 2023 is Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. The Bears' upgraded wide receiver core, particularly with the addition of D.J. Moore from the Carolina Panthers, positions Fields to advance as a passer in the NFL. Lamar Jackson could repeat his 2019 magic if he remains healthy while playing in a new offense with intentions of opening up the passing game. Jalen Hurts could also go to another level and elevate his game a step further. In my opinion, there is a better-than-good opportunity for someone to win the NFL MVP in 2023 because of their ability to run and pass at a high level. I am hedging on that player potentially being Justin Fields. 2023 Quarterback Projections Influenced by Rushing Capabilities Preliminary projections strongly indicate that quarterbacks who offer an additional running dimension will thrive. To succeed in fantasy football, it's crucial to identify when and where to draft these top-tier players and how to pinpoint the best value. In the following sections, I'll present my quarterback rankings in tiers alongside their current ADP to illustrate when and where these players might be available in a one-quarterback fantasy redraft. Tier 1 Dual Threat QB's Based On Career Production: QB's who have produced 30% or higher of their career fantasy points as a runner Jalen Hurts, PHI QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 371.95 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 42.2% ADP: 23 Jalen Hurts has averaged 15 games per season over his three-year career. Hurts is expected to have 470.3 opportunities for the upcoming season, providing an average of 0.66 points per opportunity. Based on his career averages, Hurts's projected fantasy points would total 311. However, if Hurts plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 352.62, indicating a difference of 41.48 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Hurts's final fantasy projection for 2023 reaches 371.95. Josh Allen, BUF QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 370.70 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 30.4% ADP: 20.7 In his five-year career, Josh Allen has averaged 15 games per season. Allen is anticipated to have 622.6 opportunities this season, with an average of 0.60 points per opportunity. Utilizing his career averages, Allen's fantasy points are projected to be 372.

When considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Fields's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 319.43. Tier 1 QB Summary Analysis Jalen Hurts, PHI QB (Bad Value, Safe Bet) Jalen Hurts, with a three-year career average of playing in 15 games per season and earning 0.66 points per opportunity, doesn't offer great value with an ADP of 23. However, his high percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards (42.2%) and the potential increase in points if he plays a full season suggest he's a safe bet, despite the higher draft cost. Josh Allen, BUF QB (Bad Value, Safe Bet) Josh Allen has a five-year career average of playing in 15 games per season and earning 0.60 points per opportunity. With an ADP of 20.7, Allen is another player who doesn't offer great value due to the high draft cost. Nevertheless, his decent percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards (30.4%) and the potential increase in points, if he plays a full season, make him another safe bet. Lamar Jackson, BLT QB (Great Value, High Reward) Lamar Jackson, with a five-year career average of playing in 14 games per season and earning 0.73 points per opportunity, offers great value with an ADP of 39. His high percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards (40.7%) and the significant potential increase in points if he plays a full season suggest he's a high reward player. Justin Fields, CHI QB (Great Value, High Risk, High Reward) Justin Fields, in his two-year professional career, has averaged playing in 14 games per season and earning 0.57 points per opportunity. With an ADP of 46.3, Fields offers great value. His high percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards (47.5%) and the considerable potential increase in points if he plays a full season suggest he's a high reward player. However, the difference in potential points between a full season and his average games played indicates a high level of risk. Tier 2 Dual Threat QB's Based On Career Production: QB's who have produced 20-29% of their career fantasy points as a runner. Deshaun Watson, CLV QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 306.48 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 22.2% ADP: 77.7 Deshaun Watson, in five years, averages 12 games per season. Watson is expected to have 452.4 opportunities this season, averaging 0.57 points per opportunity. If we base his projected fantasy points on these career averages, it will total 258. However, if Watson plays an entire 17-game season, the projection could increase to 365.15, making a difference of 107.40 points. After mixing his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Watson's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 306.48. Daniel Jones, NYG QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 294.67 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 26.6% ADP: 94.3 Daniel Jones, over his four-year professional career, averages 14 games per season. Jones is predicted to have 507.8 opportunities this season, averaging 0.45 points per opportunity. Jones's projected fantasy points would be 229 based on these career averages. If he plays an entire 17-game season, the projection could rise to 288.88, showing a difference of 59.48 points. Accounting for his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Jones's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 294.67. Kyler Murray, ARZ QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 214.36 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 29.7% ADP: 146 With a four-years under his belt, Kyler Murray averages 14 games per season. He might miss the early stage of the 2023 season from last year's ACL injury, but if healthy, Murray is expected to have 588.3 opportunities this season, averaging 0.54 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, Murray's projected fantasy points would be 316. If Murray plays a full 17-game season, the projection could rise to 377.10, showing a difference of 61.00 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Murray's current fantasy projection for 2023 is 214.36. Tier 2 QB Summary Analysis Deshaun Watson, CLV QB (Great Value, High Reward) Despite having a lower average of games played per season, Watson's high percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards and a significant potential increase in points with an entire season make him a great value pick. His projected 2023 fantasy points is 306.48, and given his ADP of 77.7, he offers a high reward for those willing to bet on him playing more games. Daniel Jones, NYG QB (Good Value, Safe Bet) With a higher average of games played per season and a substantial potential increase in points with a full season, Jones is a good value pick. His projected 2023 fantasy points is 294.67, and his ADP of 94.3 reflects a safe bet for consistent performance, mainly due to his high percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards. Kyler Murray, ARZ QB (Riskier Value, High Reward) Murray's value is a bit riskier due to his recent ACL injury and uncertainty with the Cardinals. However, his high percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards and potential increase in points with a full season could offer a high reward. His projected 2023 fantasy points is 214.36, and his ADP of 146 reflects the risk associated with his current situation. His value could significantly increase if he recovers well and secures his position. Tier 3 Dual Threat QB's Based On Career Production: QB's who have produced 11-19% of their career fantasy points as a runner. Patrick Mahomes, KC QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 376.12 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 11.8% ADP: 20.7 Patrick Mahomes has averaged 15 games per season over his six-year professional career. This season, he is projected to have 548.3 opportunities, with an average of 0.58 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, Mahomes' projected fantasy points would total 317. However, should he complete a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 404.07, creating a difference of 87.15 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Mahomes' final fantasy projection for 2023 is 376.12. Joe Burrow, CIN QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 346.67 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 12.7% ADP: 37.3 Over his three-year professional career, Joe Burrow has averaged 14 games per season. This season, Burrow is expected to have 560.7 opportunities, yielding an average of 0.51 points per opportunity. Burrow's projected fantasy points would be 287 based on these career averages. If he plays a full 17-game season, this projection could rise to 347.96, making a difference of 61.40 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Burrow's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 346.67. Justin Herbert, LAC QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 310.48 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 11.4% ADP: 50.7 In his three-year professional career, Justin Herbert averages 16 games per season. He's projected to have 712.7 opportunities this season, averaging 0.47 points per opportunity. If we base his projected fantasy points on these career averages, it would total 337. However, if Herbert plays a full 17-game season, the projection could increase to 351.10, showing a difference of 13.77 points. Upon considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Herbert's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 310.48. Trevor Lawrence, JAX QB Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 296.64 % of Fantasy Points from Rush Yds: 19.4% ADP: 59.3 With two years of NFL experience, Trevor Lawrence has proven durable. Lawrence is expected to have 660.0 opportunities this season, averaging 0.41 points per opportunity. These career averages show Lawrence's projected fantasy points would be 272. If he plays a full 17-game season, this projection will remain the same at 271.89, showing no difference. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Lawrence's final projected fantasy points in 2023 are 296.64. Tier 3 QB Summary Analysis Patrick Mahomes, KC QB (Bad Value, Safe Bet) Despite having a lower percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards compared to other dual-threat QBs, Mahomes' consistent performance and potential points increase with a full season make him a safe bet. However, his high ADP of 20.7 compared to his projected 2023 fantasy points of 376.12 might not offer the best value. Joe Burrow, CIN QB (Great Value, Safe Bet) With a decent percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards and a potentially significant increase in points with an entire season, Burrow offers excellent value. His projected 2023 fantasy points is 346.67, and his ADP of 37.3 reflects a safe bet for consistent performance. Justin Herbert, LAC QB (Good Value, Safe Bet) Herbert's lower percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards and smaller potential increase in points with a full season compared to other QBs make him a good value pick. His projected 2023 fantasy points is 310.48, and his ADP of 50.7 reflects a safe bet for consistent performance. Trevor Lawrence, JAX QB (Good Value, High Risk) Lawrence's high percentage of fantasy points from rushing yards offers good value, but his projection shows no increase in points with a full season, which is rare among dual-threat QBs. His projected 2023 fantasy points are 296.64, and his ADP of 59.3 reflects a high risk due to the uncertainty surrounding the Jaguars' offensive scheme and Lawrence's development. Summary Analysis 2023 Fantasy Football Dual Threat QB Tier Rankings In conclusion, the 2023 fantasy football quarterback tier analysis highlights the importance of considering a player's dual-threat ability, projected fantasy points, and Average Draft Position (ADP) when making draft decisions. Among the top-tier quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen lead in projected fantasy points, while Justin Fields demonstrates a remarkable rushing ability and an improved WR core; his ceiling is pretty high in 2023. Lamar Jackson offers the best balance between projected points and ADP, presenting excellent value. In the second tier, quarterbacks like Deshaun Watson and Daniel Jones are players with high rushing upside, Watson is the more elite thrower between him and Daniel Jones, but Watson has yet to prove he will return to form since his time in Houston. Despite his injury concerns, Kyler Murray's high potential makes him a risky but potentially rewarding choice. Finally, Patrick Mahomes shines with the highest projected fantasy points in the third tier of quarterbacks who have produced 11-19% of their career fantasy points as runners. However, considering ADP, Joe Burrow emerges as a prime pick, offering a compelling mix of value and performance.

The future of the running back position in the last decade has tilted towards unprecedented versatility, seeking athletes who embody a new kind of "positionless" play. Gone are the days of a pure rusher, limited to ground gains; the modern running back is an adaptable weapon, effective in multiple scenarios. Fans began to see the peak value of this shift during Le'Veon Bell's dynamic tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a player who could run, catch, and block with equal prowess. This evolution then continued with Alvin Kamara, another dual-threat player whose ability to line up as a receiver added a new layer of complexity to the game. However, Christian McCaffrey stands as the epitome of this transformation. His ability to alternate between running back and receiver roles provides an offensive advantage and creates strategic mismatches that can dictate defensive personnel. McCaffrey's unique blend of skills challenges traditional defensive paradigms, signaling a promising and exciting future for the running back position. The 2023 NFL Draft provided a few more versatile running backs with positionless potential. Bijan Robinson headlined the RB class, drafted by the Atlanta Falcons at #8 overall, followed by Jahmyr Gibbs, a player with late first-round buzz expected to be drafted in the early 2nd; the Detroit Lions drafted Gibbs with their 12th overall pick. In this analysis, We will delve into the fantasy projections of the NFL's top running backs using three tiers. As everyone should know when you are competing in fantasy football PPR formats, the importance of drafting the highest volume players, especially the RB's, who can help you win your leagues is paramount. In recent years, the top targeted backs as far as total opportunities (or volume) include Austin Ekeler, Christian McCaffrey, and Alvin Kamara. These players are known for their positional versatility and significant contributions as receivers. By examining their average career fantasy points as receivers, the percentage of fantasy points attributed to their receiving abilities, average points per reception, current average draft positions (ADP), and projected opportunities and points per opportunity for the 2023 season, we can gain insights into their expected performances. Let's explore their individual statistics to determine their final fantasy projections for 2023. This analysis aims to identify the best value based on the current average draft position (ADP). By examining their projected fantasy points, career averages, and potential upside for the 2023 season, we aim to provide readers with valuable insights to navigate their fantasy drafts effectively. Our analysis will help readers make informed decisions and select the optimal option that maximizes their team's potential. Let's dive into the details and find the most advantageous choice to help you win your league(s). Tier 1: Fantasy Football Running Backs Running backs that average 40% or more of their total PPR points with a 2023 projected fantasy points total of 200 PPR pts or more. Austin Ekeler, LAC RB (Low Value, Safe Bet) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 276.75 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 119 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 55% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.83 Current ADP: 5.3 Austin Ekeler has played an average of 14 games per season in his six-year career. He is projected to have 257.7 opportunities this season, with an average of 1.07 points per opportunity. These career averages show Ekeler's projected fantasy points would be 215. However, if Ekeler completes a full 17-game season, this projection could rise to 254.74, indicating a difference of 39.96 points. When considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Ekeler's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 276.75. Christian McCaffrey, SF RB (Low value, Safe Bet) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 266.20 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 122 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 51% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.65 Current ADP: 2.3 Christian McCaffrey has averaged 13 games per season throughout his six-year professional career. McCaffrey is projected to have 273.2 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.97 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would total 238. However, if McCaffrey plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 324.22, creating a difference of 85.82 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, McCaffrey's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 266.20. Alvin Kamara, NO RB (Best Value, High Risk) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 202.93 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 120 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 47% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.68 Current ADP: 97.7 In his six-year career, Alvin Kamara averages 15 games per season. Kamara is expected to have 207.6 opportunities this season, providing an average of 0.98 points per opportunity. Using these career averages, Kamara's projected fantasy points would be 255. However, if Kamara completes a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 295.53, indicating a difference of 40.56 points. With his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats taken into account, Kamara's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 202.93. Tier 1: Summary Austin Ekeler, LAC RB (Low Value, Safe Bet) Ekeler's high receiving usage and solid career average points per reception make him a safe bet in PPR formats. He has a high projected point total for 2023, which aligns with his role as a dual-threat RB. However, with a high ADP of 5.3, you'll need to invest an early pick to secure him on your team, which may not offer the best value. Christian McCaffrey, SF RB (Low Value, Safe Bet) McCaffrey's average career points as a receiver and points per reception are impressive. His projected fantasy points for 2023 are also high, indicating that he's expected to perform well. However, with an ADP of 2.3, he's being selected very early in drafts, which might not yield the best value given the risks associated with injury. Alvin Kamara, NO RB (Best Value) Kamara's projected fantasy points for 2023 are the lowest of this group, but his relatively low ADP of 97.7 could make him a great value pick. His receiving usage and career average points per reception are strong, and his injury history is relatively minor. If he stays healthy and maintains his role in the Saints' offense, he could significantly outperform his ADP, making him the best value among these players. Tier 2: Fantasy Football Running Backs Running backs that average between 30-39% or more of their total PPR points with a 2023 projected fantasy points total of 200 PPR pts or more. Breece Hall, NYJ RB (Good Value, Medium Risk) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 242.81 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 37 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 35% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.96 Current ADP: 28.7 In his one-year career, Breece Hall played in seven games after succumbing to an ACL injury as a rookie. Hall is projected to have 223.4 opportunities this season, averaging 1.09 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would be 108. However, if Hall plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 261.31, indicating a difference of 153.71 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Hall's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 242.81. Saquon Barkley, NYG RB (Good Value, Medium Risk) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 227.67 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 71 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 37% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.43 Current ADP: 9.3 Saquon Barkley has averaged 12 games per season in his five-year professional career. He is expected to have 287.1 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.79 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, Barkley's projected fantasy points would be 190. However, if Barkley plays a full 17-game season, this projection could rise to 269.85, indicating a difference of 79.37 points. Taking his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats into account, Barkley's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 227.67. Aaron Jones, GB RB (Great Value, Medium Risk) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 223.87 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 68 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 34% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.68 Current ADP: 46.3 In his six-year career, Aaron Jones has played an average of 14 games per season. Jones is projected to have 239.5 opportunities this season, with an average of 0.93 points per opportunity. Jones's projected fantasy points would be 199, according to these career averages. However, if Jones completes a full 17-game season, this projection could rise to 241.76, indicating a difference of 42.66 points. When considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Jones's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 223.87. Tony Pollard, DAL RB (Low Value, High Risk) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 211.23 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 48 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 34% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.58 Current ADP: 20.3 Tony Pollard has averaged 16 games per season throughout his four-year professional career. Pollard is projected to have 240.2 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.88 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would total 139. However, if Pollard plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 152.15, creating a difference of 13.43 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Pollard's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 211.23. James Conner, ARZ RB (Best Value, High Reward) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 201.70 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 53 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 33% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.53 Current ADP: 71.3 James Conner has averaged playing in 13 games per season over his six-year professional career. Conner is projected to have 235.3 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.86 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would be 161. However, if Conner plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 212.72, indicating a difference of 52.14 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Conner's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 201.70. Tier 2: Summary Breece Hall, NYJ RB (Good Value, Medium Risk) Hall's recent ACL injury may be a concern for some fantasy owners. His ADP of 28.7 suggests he's being drafted fairly early, so he could be a good value pick if he recovers well from his injury and meets or exceeds his projected points. Saquon Barkley, NYG RB (Good Value, Medium Risk) Barkley has a history of missing games due to injury, which could be a risk for fantasy owners. However, his high projected points and substantial role as a receiver in the Giants' offense make him a potentially good value pick, even with his high ADP of 9.3. Aaron Jones, GB RB (Great Value, Medium Risk) Jones has a slightly lower ADP than Hall and Barkley, which could make him a great value pick. His projected points are still quite high, and his history of being a significant part of the Packers' passing game could help boost his fantasy value. Tony Pollard, DAL RB (Low Value, High Risk) Pollard's projected points are lower than the others in this group, and his ADP of 20.3 suggests he's being drafted fairly early. The risk with Pollard is that he's often used as a change-of-pace back behind Ezekiel Elliott, which could limit his opportunities. James Conner, ARZ RB (Best Value, High Reward) Conner's projected points are the lowest in this group, but his ADP of 71.3 suggests he's often available in later rounds. His history of missing games due to injury is a risk, but if he can stay healthy and secure a significant role in the Cardinals' offense, he could provide a high return on investment. Tier 3: Fantasy Football Running Backs Running backs that average between 30-39% or more of their total PPR points with a 2023 projected fantasy points total Between 150-199 PPR pts or more. Rhamondre Stevenson, NE RB (High Value, High reward) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 196.11 Avg.

Stevenson is projected to have 255.8 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.77 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would be 163. However, if Stevenson plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 191.46, indicating a difference of 28.16 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Stevenson's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 196.11. Joe Mixon, CIN RB (Solid Value, Medium Risk) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 195.92 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 59 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 31% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.52 Current ADP: 48.7 Joe Mixon has averaged playing in 13 games per season over his six-year professional career. Mixon is projected to have 267.7 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.73 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would be 188. However, if Mixon plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 240.13, indicating a difference of 51.79 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Mixon's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 195.92. Najee Harris, PIT RB (Solid Value, Low Risk) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 194.81 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 82 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 35% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.42 Current ADP: 30 Najee Harris has averaged playing in 17 games per season over his two-year professional career. Harris is projected to have 287.1 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.68 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would be 235. However, if Harris plays a full 17-game season, this projection would stay the same, indicating no difference. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Harris's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 194.81. David Montgomery, DET RB (Great Value, High Risk) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 159.72 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 56 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 30% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.45 Current ADP: 76.7 David Montgomery has averaged playing in 15 games per season over his four-year professional career. Montgomery is projected to have 230.2 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.69 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would be 186. However, if Montgomery plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 210.35, indicating a difference of 24.75 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Montgomery's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 159.72. James Cook, BUF RB (High Risk, High reward) Projected 2023 Fantasy Points: 149.49 Avg. Career Fantasy Points as a Receiver Per Season: 35 Avg % Fantasy Points as a Receiver vs. Average Career Fantasy Points Per Season .5PPR: 35% Avg Career Pts Per Reception .5PPR: 1.64 Current ADP: 83.3 James Cook has averaged playing in 16 games per season over his one-year professional career. Cook is projected to have 169 opportunities this season, yielding an average of 0.88 points per opportunity. Based on these career averages, his projected fantasy points would be 97. However, if Cook plays a full 17-game season, this projection could increase to 103.38, indicating a difference of 6.08 points. Considering his points per opportunity and projected 2023 stats, Cook's final fantasy projection for 2023 is 149.49. Tier 3: Summary Rhamondre Stevenson, NE RB (High Value, High reward) Stevenson's high projected points and above-average points per opportunity make him a high-value pick. His ADP of 26 means he'll likely be drafted in the early rounds, but if he meets or exceeds his projections, he could provide a significant return on investment. Joe Mixon, CIN RB (Solid Value, Medium Risk) Mixon's projected fantasy points are close to Stevenson's, but his lower ADP of 48.7 makes him a more accessible choice in later rounds. His six-year career offers a larger sample size of performance data, but it also comes with a history of playing fewer games per season on average, which adds some risk. Najee Harris, PIT RB (Solid Value, Low Risk) Harris's projections are slightly lower than Stevenson's and Mixon's, but his average of playing a full 17-game season in his career thus far makes him a low-risk option. His ADP of 30 is in the early-mid range, so he could be a solid choice for a reliable RB who is likely to play the whole season. David Montgomery, DET RB (Great Value, High Risk) Montgomery's projected fantasy points are the second-lowest in this group, but his ADP of 76.7 offers great value in the mid-late rounds. However, his four-year average of playing 15 games per season and his transition to a new team in Detroit add some uncertainty and risk. James Cook, BUF RB (High Risk, High reward) Cook has the lowest projected points and the highest ADP in this group, making him a high-risk choice. But his high points per opportunity suggest that he could outperform expectations if he gets enough touches. His one-year career means less performance history to base predictions on, which adds to the risk.

The 2023 NFL Draft did not offer the same level of high-end talent at the top as in recent years, but it does have a lot of high-ceiling potential, starting at the top with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jordan Addison. We ranked the top 2023 dynasty fantasy football wide receivers ahead of the 2023 season. When ranking the receivers, we considered the future potential value as you always do in dynasty formats. 1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Seahawks Smith Njigba will primarily work from the slot, an area where an Offensive Coordinator (OC) can utilize creative strategies to enable him to get a free release more frequently. He is a talented wide receiver with excellent route-running skills, superb hands, and a knack for making plays after the catch. He may face some challenges against physical defenders at the NFL level, but Smith Njigba's characteristics mirror many of the top young NFL receivers currently in the league. His ceiling grade? An Elite Level Starter. 2. Jordan Addison - Vikings Addison is a fantastic fit for an offense that emphasizes the passing game, with numerous quick passes and screens. His speed and quickness make him a threat in the open field, capable of turning short passes into massive gains. He can line up both in the slot and on the outside, making him a versatile player. His ceiling grade is a Near Elite Starter. 3. Zay Flowers - Ravens Flowers brings speed, quickness, and the ability to create separation, making him a versatile receiver who could fit into a variety of NFL offensive schemes. While his size might be a concern, his skill set and potential make him an intriguing prospect. He's graded as a High-End ceiling player. 4. Quentin Johnston - Chargers With his excellent size and athleticism, Johnston could be a top-tier vertical threat at the next level. He needs to work on his route running at the NFL level, but his physicality and ability to win contested catches make him an intriguing prospect. Johnston is graded as having an Elite Level Starter ceiling. 5. Jayden Reed - Packers As a dynasty fantasy football prospect, Reed has potential. His above-average speed, great hands, and route-running capabilities could translate to significant fantasy points, especially in PPR leagues. His role as a returner could also add value in leagues that reward return yardage. However, his limitations in terms of play strength and YAC might limit his ceiling. His likely role as a slot receiver could offer consistent, if not spectacular, fantasy production. As always, much will depend on how his skills are utilized by the Packers and the team's overall offensive scheme. 6. Josh Downs - Colts Downs brings versatility with experience lining up both inside and outside. His quickness and route-running ability can create mismatches against slower defenders. He has the potential to be a High-Level Contributor. 7. Jonathan Mingo - Panthers Mingo's scouting report will be updated soon. His current ceiling grade is High-End Starter. 8. Jalin Hyatt - Giants Hyatt is a talented receiver with excellent speed, route-running ability, and big-play potential. Despite concerns about his size, his speed and elusiveness make him a dangerous weapon in the passing and return game. His ceiling grade is High-End Starter. 9. Marvin Mims Jr. - Broncos Mims Jr., the latest addition to the Denver Broncos receiving core, certainly carries intriguing upside in a unit that has struggled with injuries over the past few seasons. The Broncos' offensive skill position group, despite being loaded with talent, has been plagued by unfortunate injuries in recent times. Notable wide receivers like Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy have missed significant time over the last few seasons. This volatility could present Mims Jr. with a golden opportunity to carve out a significant role in the team's passing game. 10. Cedric Tillman - Browns Tillman's style and physical attributes make him a good fit for NFL offenses that utilize big, physical receivers who can win in contested catch situations. He is a reliable target for quarterbacks, marked as a Mid-Level Contributor. 11. Rashee Rice - Chiefs Rice, drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, brings size, speed, and versatility to their offense alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes. A deep threat and possession receiver, his agility and route-running potential earmark him with the potential to become a high-end starter in the NFL. 12. Tank Dell - Texans Rookie Tank Dell, now a part of the Houston Texans, is a promising prospect to watch in fantasy leagues. His raw talent and his knack for making big plays could position him as a potential breakout star. 13. Charlie Jones - Bengals The Cincinnati Bengals have added a promising new receiver to their ranks: rookie Charlie Jones. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to this newcomer, as he has the potential to impact the Bengals' passing game significantly. He projects as no better than the number 4 receiver as a rookie. He is worth the stash in dynasty formats. Jones is a solid route runner with good speed that could burst onto the scene if any Bengals receiver is to miss time. 14. Michael Wilson - Cardinals Wilson is a versatile and tenacious wide receiver with a unique blend of speed, athleticism, and tenacity on the field. He is marked as having a Solid-Starter Level ceiling. He battled injuries in college, but he showed he has high-level potential when he was healthy. 15. Kayshon Boutte - Patriots Boutte is a versatile receiver who possesses excellent speed and agility. He is a quick-twitch athlete capable of making defenders miss in the open field and can take the top off a defense with his speed. Boutte was once considered a potential top-10 prospect before the start of the 2022 college football season but has since dropped off dramatically. If he can harness the high-level play he is capable of, he will be a steal in dynasty rookie formats. Stash him away.

The 2023 NFL draft showcased a variety of talented running backs restocking the NFL at a position where many of its top stars are at the back end of their prime age for the RB position and just like the 2017 NFL Draft RB class that gave us versatile backs like Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara, the 2023 NFL Draft class holds promise with the likes of Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs. Both players can significantly impact their respective teams immediately and reshape the running back landscape in the NFL. Their impact as fantasy football assets will be deeply examined throughout. However, as with any draft class, it will ultimately be their performance on the field that determines whether the 2023 class can truly rival the class of 2017. Let's take a look at the top 12 ranked dynasty fantasy football rookie running backs ahead of the 2023 NFL season, according to Football Scout 365. 1). Bijan Robinson - Texas (Atlanta Falcons) Robinson would be a great fit for a zone-blocking scheme that emphasizes a lot of inside and outside zone runs. He is a versatile running back with great vision, elusiveness, and pass-catching ability.

Jahmyr Gibbs - Alabama (Detroit Lions) Gibbs would be an excellent fit for an offense emphasizing zone blocking and outside-zone runs. At 5-11 200lbs, Gibbs is a versatile chess piece with big-play ability. He can make defenders miss with very little daylight and is explosive off the block, providing an elite level of play. Gibbs might only be a one-two punch lighting to someone else's thunder player, but his upside as a receiver is very legit, and he could become a 15-20 touch-a-game player down the road. 3). Zach Charbonnet - UCLA (Seattle Seahawks) Charbonnet would be a great fit for an offense that emphasizes power running and inside zone runs. He is a powerful physical runner with good vision and pass-protection skills. He may not be the most elusive runner or dynamic receiver, but he has the potential to be a reliable and consistent contributor at the next level as a high-end starter. If it were not for Kenneth Walker, Charbs would be the 2nd back off most dynasty rookie draft boards. 4). Roschon Johnson - Texas (Chicago Bears) Johnson is a versatile running back who would fit well in a scheme that incorporates both inside and outside zone runs. He has good vision and patience, allowing him to find running lanes and make decisive cuts. He possesses solid athleticism and elusiveness, making him difficult to bring down in the open field. Johnson also has decent receiving skills, which add to his value as a three-down back. With his well-rounded skill set, he has the potential to contribute as a rotational back and provide a change of pace for the Bears' offense. Johnson might surprise a lot of people as a rookie, and could compete early for opportunities. Johnson has legit three-down versatility. 5).

A lot will depend on how many carries Achane can handle in a committee as a rookie, but he has an elite upside. 6). Tyjae Spears - Tulane (Tennessee Titans) Spears would be a good fit for a zone-blocking scheme that emphasizes a lot of inside and outside zone runs. He is an explosive running back with good vision and pass-catching ability. His size and power may be a concern at the NFL level, but he has the potential to be a change-of-pace back and a valuable contributor in the passing game, providing a high level of play. Spears could see a lot of time spelling Derrick Henry as a rookie and could take over the backfield by his second year. 7). Kendre Miller - TCU (New Orleans Saints) Miller is a physical and downhill runner who would be a good fit in a power-running scheme. He has good size and strength, allowing him to break tackles and gain yards after contact. Miller is a decisive runner who hits the hole with authority. While he may not possess top-end speed, his power and toughness make him effective between the tackles.

Miller will get opportunities early on behind Alvin Kamara. 8). Chase Brown - Illinois (Cincinnati Bengals) Brown has the skill set to fit into various offensive systems. He can be effective in a zone-blocking scheme due to his vision and ability to make quick cuts. He plays with good vision and patience as a runner and possesses the three-down versatility needed in the NFL. He is predicted to be a high-level contributor to the Bengals. 9). Deuce Vaughn - Kansas State (Dallas Cowboys) Vaughn is a versatile and shifty running back who would excel in a scheme emphasizing outside-zone runs and utilizing running backs in the passing game. He is undersized but compensates with exceptional quickness, agility, and elusiveness. Vaughn has excellent change-of-direction ability, allowing him to make defenders miss in tight spaces. He is also a reliable receiver out of the backfield, capable of creating mismatches against linebackers in coverage. The Cowboys' offensive system, which incorporates zone blocking and relies on running backs as receivers, is a perfect fit for Vaughn's skill set. Vaughn will be paired with another versatile RB in Tony Pollard. 10). Zach Evans - TCU (Los Angeles Rams) Evans is a pro spread/zone style/power runner. He is a natural at pressing the hole and using his vision to locate the open area.

He will have to compete for opportunities behind Breece Hall and Michael Carter. 12).

About the Analysis (Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings) We compiled these rankings using the same data we collected for our Football Scout 365 NFL Draft Big Board player rankings.
