The 2023 NFL Draft is in the books and now it is time to obsess over what it all means for fantasy football over the course of the next few months.

Fantasy Veteran Winners and Losers of the 2023 NFL Draft
The focus this weekend, and every NFL Draft weekend, is on the rookies, the 250-plus young men who just saw their professional careers start. And understandably so. But there are also a few thousand guys already in the league before the draft started Thursday, and for many of them, their fantasy football outlook changed dramatically […]

2023 NFL Rookies Who Might Require Patience in Fantasy
One of the reasons fantasy football rookie drafts are so exciting is because they give us hope. The allure of drafting another Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave or Breece Hall and adding an immediate star to your roster is intoxicating, but this isn’t how it typically shakes out. More often than not, it takes time […]

2023 NFL Draft Wish List: NFC West
The NFC West is very interesting leading up to the NFL Draft. Two teams have selections inside the top five, while the other two don’t even have first-round selections.

2023 NFL Rookies Who Should Offer Immediate Fantasy Impact
Everyone wants their fantasy rookies to come in and dominate right from the jump, but that’s much easier said than done. It’s rare for NFL first-timers to come in and dominate right away, and the few that do provide extreme value to their fantasy managers. So who from the 2023 class has the ability […]

2023 NFL Draft Wish List: AFC West
The AFC West continues to run through Kansas City and a Chiefs team that is still celebrating last year’s Super Bowl title. It seemed like last year could be the year the Chargers, Broncos and Raiders really challenged the Chiefs, but that didn’t come to fruition. If those teams are going to have any chance […]

Statistical Scouting: Player Comps for the 2023 NFL Draft Prospects (TE)
Tight ends are more difficult to project by their college efficiencies and combine measurements than either running backs or wide receivers. Most tight end prospects are similarly massive in order to handle the blocking requirements of the position. And none of the combine drills cleanly tips how often a tight end will block or run […]

Statistical Scouting: Player Comps for the 2023 NFL Draft Prospects (WR)
A decade ago, you could count on the NFL Draft to put wide receiver prospects in order of their likely long-term fantasy potentials. But in recent years, the rules have changed to make it safer for smaller receivers to work the middle of the field. And more and more teams have cultivated timing-based passing games […]

Statistical Scouting: Player Comps for the 2023 NFL Draft Prospects (RB)
The NFL Draft does a decent job of sorting prospects by their fantasy potentials. But it is hardly a perfect proxy. Typical fantasy scoring places an outsized importance on receiving volume and touchdown potential, and NFL teams can care as much or more about pass- and run-blocking and special teams proficiency as those fantasy-friendlier skills, […]

2023 NFL Draft: Day 2 Wide Receiver Gems
We have a really interesting wide receiver class in the 2023 NFL Draft. You won’t find a Ja’Marr Chase-level prospect. And you won’t find Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith or Garrett Wilson.
