The 2023 NFL offseason has come and gone, and we now have a clear idea of what team rosters and depth charts look like with all 32 training camps open. It also means we can better project fantasy draft values and player rankings. With that said, here’s my updated look at every position as we inch closer to draft season.
I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, so you’ll see a noted increase in wide receivers in the overall top 200. In fact, I have Justin Jefferson as my consensus No. 1 overall pick. Fellow receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Cooper Kupp are also in the top five, so the position’s value has clearly increased.
At the quarterback position, I’ve dropped Kyler Murray out of the top 20 due to his questionable status for the start of the season. Plus, losing DeAndre Hopkins won’t help his value. Ryan Tannehill has moved up a few spots now that he’ll have Nuk at his disposal, but he’s still just a QB3 in most fantasy redrafts.

Among the running backs, I moved Jonathan Taylor down a few spots and out of my first round. At this point, it’s anyone's guess when -- or if -- he’ll return to the Colts. Josh Jacobs and Breece Hall also moved down a few spots, while rookie Jahmry Gibbs has moved up. He’s getting a ton of positive reports in Lions camp, and the high stakes world has moved him into the high RB2 level based on ADP data.
I didn’t move Kupp down among receivers despite his hamstring injury, as he’s still third behind Jefferson and Chase. Diontae Johnson has moved back into the top 24 wideouts, and I’ve given small bumps to Michael Thomas and Brandin Cooks based on positive camp reports. They’re low WR3s for now.
At tight end, Travis Kelce remains the unquestioned top option with Mark Andrews and T.J. Hockenson going No. 2 and 3 behind him. There’s been very little to report in terms of movement, though I did increase the value of Zach Ertz to TE2.
Alright, let’s get to it! Here’s my updated rankings for 2023! Check back for updates!
