2023 Superflex Rookie Mock Draft 1.0

January 31, 2023 by Dynasty Pros Staff

2023 Superflex Rookie Mock Draft 1.0

By Dynasty Pros Staff

 

Every fantasy football site/podcast/YouTube channel does a Rookie Mock Draft.  My advice when looking at all of the mocks… soak in the player info and then make a composite of all of the mocks you look at, then form your own plan based on how your team is already constructed.  Here at DynastyProsFootball, we had six of our writers do a four-round Rookie Mock Draft (SuperFlex, Full PPR) making two selections per round.  

 

 

1.01 RB Bijan Robinson, 6'0 215 lbs, Texas

This may be chalky, but it is for a reason.  Robinson is the best fantasy football prospect in this class. There is nothing I’m going to say here that you haven’t heard about Robinson, so I will answer the bigger question: what if I’m rebuilding and don’t want to take a running back yet? I would still take Robinson over the quarterbacks here even in a SuperFlex league, but more importantly, I would try to trade back. You can potentially get a massive haul for him right now. If you cannot make that happen I would just take Bijan. Hopefully, I can complete my rebuild in time for him to be of use to me or I can try to flip him in the season when he is starting to produce. 

- Doug Harrelson (@DougHarrelson)

 

1.02 QB Bryce Young, 6’0 194lbs, Alabama

Alabama has had success at quarterback lately and it continues with Young.  When it comes to the first quarterback off the board, there are two players who are battling.  And although I prefer CJ Stroud, it’s hard to ignore that Young has had more success when it mattered most.  Ultimately, you can’t go wrong with either pick, but for me, it comes down to Young’s Heisman, better rushing ability and doing more with less on his team.  Give me Young with the slightest of advantages over Stroud.

- Tim Lazenby (@mrLazenby_)

 

1.03 C. J. Stroud, QB, 6’3” 215lbs, Ohio State

Arguably the best pure passer in this class, Stroud seemingly came from nowhere, going straight from Justin Fields’ backup to two-time Heisman Trophy contender. He has prototype size, can make all the throws, and can put the ball in almost unimaginably precise spots for his receivers. He’s proven he can perform on the biggest stages with spectacular bowl performances against the elite defenses of Utah and Georgia. The only question left to answer is whether he can be elite without an elite supporting cast.

- Joel Wirth (@TheJoelWirth)

 

1.04 RB Jahmyr Gibbs, 5’11 200lbs, Alabama

Gibbs has been compared to Alvin Kamara, and that is a very fair comp.  Kamara is a little thicker, but they have very similar playing styles and skill sets.  I would give Gibbs the edge when it comes to breakaway speed, so give me that at 1.04 in any rookie draft.

- Tommy Havey (@DynastyProsTom)

 

1.05 WR Quentin Johnston, 6'4 215 lbs, TCU

Wow.. I did not expect to get Johnston here, but I’m glad I did. The first 3 picks were chalk, and I really expected Quentin Johnston to go at 1.04. With that being said I was really debating on whether I’d go Jahmyr Gibbs or Jaxon Smith-Njigba at the 1.05 spot. I see Johnston as the best WR in this class, and he should be drafted as a team’s go-to WR1. He’s my overall 1.04 in Superflex Rookie Drafts. 

- Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

1.06 WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, 6'0 193 lbs, Ohio St

Smith-Njigba follows the Ohio St. wide receiver pipeline to the NFL behind Garret Willson and Chris Olave. Smith-Njigba isn’t just “twitchy-fast,” he has long, breakaway speed. And, with him learning behind Olave and Wilson, Jaxon is a solid route runner who knows how to find open spaces in a defense.  If he was 2 inches taller, he may have garnered top 5 buzz in the 2023 NFL draft.  Wherever he is drafted, he is an immediate contributor with his ability to take the top off of defenses and his ability to create space over the middle. Yes, there may be some injury concern with Smith-Njigba missing most of the 2022 season, but all indications are his hamstring is not a long-term issue. There may be other receivers with more “singular” attributes that make them more appealing (Quentin Johnson? Or Jordan Addison?), but for the total package, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the #1 receiver on my rookie board and I’m happy to grab him at 1.05.

- Goody (@JGoody77)

 

1.07 TE Michael Mayer, 6'4 250 lbs, Notre Dame

When researching Michael Mayer, the following terms were used to describe Mayer: “well-rounded,” “polished,” “natural instincts,” and “physical.”  In short, Michael Mayer could very well enter the league and already be a top 5 tight end before the end of his first year.  Some analysts believe that a tight end this high is a waste.  However, the position is so thin of elite tight ends (Kelce, Kittle, Andrews) that the chance to draft a player and have that position covered for the next 10 years is too great to pass up.  Some may ask: Is this going to be another Kyle Pitts situation?  My answer is, “NO!” I believe the media hyped Pitts with his acrobatic catches too much and didn’t take account of all the other characteristics that make a great tight end.  Mayer does all the little things right and all the big things great.  I believe Mayer will be the benchmark that all tight ends will be compared to for the next decade.

- Goody (@JGoody77)

 

1.08 WR Jordan Addison, 6'0 180 lbs, USC

Another surprise for me here. Goody went with Michael Mayer at 1.07, and Addison fell right into my lap. With fantasy managers so desperate for a productive TE, I understand why some could pull the trigger early on Mayer. Not me.. Give me a potential stud WR every time. Addison is my WR3 in rookie drafts, so I’m super excited to grab him with the 8th pick.

- Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

1.09 WR Kayshon Boutte, 6’0 205 lbs, LSU

Boutte is possibly the most skilled WR in this draft class.  He is built like Ja’Marr Chase and runs with the same kind of grace and effortlessness.  I don’t believe he is quite as good as Chase, but he should be a quality WR in the NFL.  LSU has a good reputation for putting high caliber WRs in the league, and Boutte is the next in line.

- Tommy Havey (@DynastyProsTom)

 

1.10 QB Will Levis, 6’3” 232 lbs, Kentucky

The ultimate “profile over production” NFL prospect. Scouts have been drooling over Levis’ prototype QB body and arm for years. The problem is, he wasn’t a very good college quarterback. If you watch his highlights, you’ll walk away thinking he’s a superstar in the making. If you watch his tape, you’ll weep over his inconsistency and inability to transcend his situation. He makes everything look easy, from the sublime throws to the ridiculous interceptions. If (capital letters, bold type if) he can improve his mechanics and decision making, we’ll see that superstar come out and dominate for years to come. If he can’t, there will be a lot of damning comparisons to failed QB prospects of the past.

- Joel Wirth (@TheJoelWirth)

 

1.11  RB Zach Evans, 6’0 215 lbs, Ole Miss

While Zach Evans lacks the pass catching prowess that many look for in a running back in the NFL, it’s hard to ignore his premier rushing ability.  Sure, the pass blocking needs work, but many running backs struggle with that straight out of the gate in the NFL.  His burst and fantastic 40 time show that he can be trusted with early downs to gain critical yards.  Lastly, it’s true that he’s not the best running back in the class, but he’s being overlooked.  

- Tim Lazenby (@mrLazenby_)

 

1.12 RB Tank Bigsby, 6'0 213 lbs, Auburn

Watching Bigsby tape is such a joy. The former track star shows off his ability to accelerate every time he sees an opening. The right landing spot could make the idea of landing him here at the back end of the first round purely a fantasy. While he was not used much in the passing game in college, his quickness and explosiveness tell me that given the right scheme, he could certainly be useful in the passing game at some point. Despite his quickness, breakaway speed is a small concern but there is a ton of upside with Bigsby. 

- Doug Harrelson (@DougHarrelson)

 

2.01 RB Zach Charbonnet, 6'1 222 lbs, UCLA

How I rank Bigsby and Charbonnet may flip-flop multiple times between now and when I am on the clock in my dynasty leagues. Charbonnet has a physicality to his game that is made for Sundays. He finishes runs strong and sheds arm tackles effortlessly. Charbonnet also has fantastic instincts and vision when he runs the ball. That part of the game will not be an adjustment for Charbonnet. Minor concerns about his pad level, I think he has gotten so used to effortlessly breaking tackles that it has caused him to run a little taller than he should. An issue very easily fixed by some coaching. He is also not likely to generate a ton of big plays at the next level but there have been many successful backs with that same issue.

- Doug Harrelson (@DougHarrelson)

 

2.02 QB Anthony Richardson, 6’4 232 lbs, Florida

I wanted Richardson at my earlier pick, but I was delighted to see he was still available.  It’s very true that Richardson is far from polished, but in fantasy football, he has the greatest ceiling of the class.  The raw talent can’t be drafted before Young, Stroud or even perhaps Levis, but there’s a chance he could rise above them in the right system.  Players like Fields and Hurts have shown that the best quarterback in the draft may not be the best in fantasy football.  I’m not saying he’s Josh Allen, but Allen’s cannon, combined with rushing ability made Cleveland look foolish for taking the safer pick in Baker Mayfield.

- Tim Lazenby (@mrLazenby_)

 

2.03 RB Sean Tucker, 5’10” 205 lbs, Syracuse

Sean Tucker is slightly smaller than the presumed ideal for an NFL running back. Outside of that, there’s not much to not like. He’s shown everything you want to see in a running back, vision, balance, acceleration, and long speed. He’s a good pass blocker, excellent receiver out of the backfield and is deadly in open space. He can run through you, he can run by you, and he can run away from you.

- Joel Wirth (@TheJoelWirth)

 

2.04 WR Josh Downs, 5’10 175 lbs, North Carolina

Downs will be a highly productive slot receiver in the NFL.  He is on the small side, but his elite speed will be a difference maker.  He runs good, crisp routes and should get open downfield plenty.  He does need to improve on his drop rate from his final season at North Carolina, but I absolutely love getting him in the middle of the 2nd round.  

- Tommy Havey (@DynastyProsTom)

 

2.05 RB Kendre Miller, 6'0 220 lbs, TCU 

Miller is a bonafide top 5 RB in this class. At 6’0″ and nearly 220 pounds, he is an explosive runner with agility, finesse, and balance both through contact and cuts. He also has great vision and processing speed, as well as superb creative instincts. On top of that, he provides value as a receiver and a blocker on passing downs. I could see him as this year’s Kenneth Walker. However, unlike Walker, you may get to steal this RB in the 2nd round of your rookie draft.

- Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

2.06 WR Jalin Hyatt, 6'0 186 lbs, Tennessee

In short, Jalin had a DOMINANT senior season at Tennessee.  He hauled in 67 passes for over 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns.  And those are not just “numbers,” as Hyatt picked up many awards in recognition of his amazing season.  Hyatt was named First Team All-America by essentially every publication that names a team and the Biletnikoff Award for college’s most outstanding receiver.  Did I also mention that Hyatt runs a 4.29 40-yard dash?  Yes, he has speed for days.  And with his size, Jalin’s catch radius is special and his route running is top notch. The one criticism of Hyatt’s is  his hands. He has had some drops in games, but it is not a problem that can’t be improved.   To grab a player in the 2nd round with this type of ability, may just win fantasy football leagues.

- Goody (@JGoody77)

 

2.07 TE Darnell Washington, 6'7 280 lbs, Georgia

If you looked at Washington’s stats from the 2022 college football season, you may wonder why he is even on draft radars, let alone fantasy football radars.  Well, the adage goes: You can’t teach height.  You also can’t teach size.  Washington is 6’7 and 280 lbs of human being.  With all that size, Darnell can also run.  His 4.63 40-yard dash puts him better than average for any tight end prospect; let alone one as big and as strong as him.

With his blocking ability, and short to intermediate pass catching ability, Washington will be a useful tool in fantasy football; especially at a position that lacks options.

- Goody (@JGoody77)

 

2.08 QB Hendon Hooker, 6'3 210 lbs, Tennessee 

This is a Superflex draft right? How in the heck did I luck out and get Hendon Hooker at 2.08? I actually have Hooker as my QB2 over the likes of Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis. He’s a better NFL talent than Bryce Young, a much better arm talent than Anthony Richardson, and more big-game proven than Will Levis. Hooker is projected as a late 2nd or 3rd round pick, however, with Hooker’s rehab going ahead of schedule, I can’t see that projection lasting long. He could be a fantastic replacement to Lamar Jackson in Baltimore (if traded). Detroit or Seattle would also be a great landing spot for the dual-threat QB.

- Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

2.09 WR Zay Flowers, 5’10 177 lbs, Boston College

Flowers is in the same mold as Josh Downs…whom I selected earlier in the 2nd round.  Playing at Boston College didn’t do him any favors.  If he had played in a higher profile program, I believe he would have been an ultra-producer in the slot.  His footwork and field vision have the potential to make him special.

- Tommy Havey (@DynastyProsTom)

 

2.10 RB Devon Achane, 5’9” 185 lbs, Texas A&M

Devon Achane’s size will likely prevent him from being a feature back in the NFL. Notice I said likely, not definitely. Achane has legit world class sprinter speed. When he destroys the combine, every offensive coordinator in the league is going to start licking their chops, imagining what he can do in their offense. It’s a cliche, but you can’t teach speed and Achane’s got four-leaf clover speed. He’ll be a weapon in the passing game, on jet sweeps, and could be a Pro Bowl kick returner, on top of being an elite, if carry-limited half back. You’ll see a lot of Darren Sproles comparisons for Devon Achane, I think it’s better to think of him as a smaller Chris Johnson.

- Joel Wirth (@TheJoelWirth)

 

2.11 WR Marvin Mims, 5’11 184 lbs, Oklahoma

Marvin Mims is one of those receivers who had success straight out of the gate in college.  A blemish on his chances in the draft is his smaller stature, but he plays bigger than his frame suggests.  He will not blow defenders away off the block, but he is fantastic at gaining momentum as he runs.  I do worry that teams will want to utilize his ability as a returner and ignore him as a receiver on normal downs, but if they don’t make that mistake he’s sure to be an incredible value in the draft.  I’m banking on the right situation uncorking his full abilities.

- Tim Lazenby (@mrLazenby_)

 

2.12 RB Tyjae Spears, 5'10 195 lbs, Tulane

I had not planned to be four picks into this draft and still just taking running backs but here we are. The position is deep in this class. Spears profiles as a 3rd down back and does so well in space. The way he sets up angles for the moves that he has in his bag is a work of art. His size means he will likely never be a 20-plus touch guy but in a complimentary role, he could excel in the right offense. 

- Doug Harrelson (@DougHarrelson)

 

3.01 TE Dalton Kincaid, 6'4 242 lbs, Utah

Stop me if you have heard this before, a former basketball player is playing tight end. A bit of a raw prospect but has excellent ball skills and some scary upside. Dalton Kincaid would be best suited to a team where he does not have to block a ton and can be used in a “big-slot” role in the early stages of his career. He will obviously have plenty of usage in the red zone with his skill set. He still has a long way to go as a blocker and might be a little smaller than we like at tight end but to get this upside in the third round has me thrilled.

- Doug Harrelson (@DougHarrelson)

 

3.02 RB Kenny McIntosh, 6’1 210 lbs, Georgia

While McIntosh isn’t the best runner in the class, his ability in the passing game has been admirable in college and it’s sure to earn him work on third downs.  I don’t think he’ll be a starting running back, but he has the potential to turn into one.  He has a knock against him in not being able to shrink between the tackles, but he’s elusive enough to work on making defenders miss.  Bottom line, when it comes to Georgia, you give trust to the system.  With the amount of elite runners they have produced in the NFL, I gamble on McIntosh’s chances.

- Tim Lazenby (@mrLazenby_)

 

3.03 WR Rashee Rice, 6’3” 205 lbs, SMU

The Analytics Bros will look at Rashee Rice’s profile, see a four-year senior with a late breakout and move on. The Tape Bros, on the other hand, are going to love what they see. A true boundary X receiver with the speed to run by defenders and the size and strong hands to go up over the top and pluck the ball away from them. Rice is by no means a finished product. SMU’s offense was very right-handed and he ran almost exclusively from the strong side and didn’t have the most extensive route tree, but give him some NFL coaching and the tools are there to build the next stud wide receiver.

- Joel Wirth (@TheJoelWirth)

 

3.04 WR Cedric Tillman, 6’3 216 lbs, Tennessee

Tillman has great 50/50 ball skills and is a very physical WR.  He is a very good blocker in the running game and in the screen game.  His ability to track the deep ball is borderline elite, but his lack of gamebreaking speed will cause issues in separation.  He sustained a serious ankle injury this past season and underwent surgery.  He will have to prove his durability at the next level.

- Tommy Havey (@DynastyProsTom)

 

3.05 RB Eric Gray, 5'10, 212 lbs, Oklahoma 

This is the point in the draft where I start grabbing RBs with the hopes of getting this year’s Dameon Pierce/Isiah Pecheco. I grabbed Gray here due to his tremendous potential. He is a violent runner with a rare blend of balance, agility, and instinct. He may be drafted as depth to start, but he could take over a backfield sooner than later. Dallas or Carolina would be a great spot for him to land. 

- Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

3.06 WR Parker Washington, 5'11 215 lbs, Penn St

Parker Washington doesn’t excite scouts with his physical attributes; too short to make contested catches, too heavy to be a downfield burner.  Yet, Washington thrives at running over the middle and being an openfield terror. In many ways, the similarities between Washington and Deebo Samuel are starting to materialize in my eyes.  The statistics don’t jump off the page from Washington’s 2022 season at Penn St.  He recorded 46 catches for 611 yards and 2 td’s.  However, what makes Washington an intriguing NFL prospect is his ability to go over the middle to make tough grabs and create havoc in the open field.  At this point in the draft, the risk/reward was worth it.

- Goody (@JGoody77)

 

3.07 RB Chase Brown, 5'11 205 lbs, Illinois

Chase Brown has the perfect combination of size and speed to be relevant in the NFL.  Each year in college, Brown showed improvement in both his running and receiving.  During his 5th year, he ran for 1,632 yards with 10 touchdowns.  A concern some may have for Brown is a propensity for fumbling; he had 5 fumbles this past year. He will need to rectify that in order for Offensive Coordinators to trust him early in his career. His pass catching abilities are what teams may fall in love with during the draft, but he will be a valuable commodity as a dual threat back with the ability to create chunk plays frequently.

- Goody (@JGoody77)

 

3.08 RB Israel Abanikanda, 5'11 215 lbs, Pittsburgh 

Izzy Abanikanda may not be the most talented RB in the class, however he is a smart, patient runner who always picks up positive yards. He’s a north/south grinder that could really help a team like the LA Chargers or Arizona Cardinals. Again, I’m grabbing RBs at this point with the hopes of hitting on one. 

- Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

3.09 RB Dwayne McBride, 5’11 215 lbs, Alabama-Birmingham

Super productive as a runner at UAB, McBride was not utilized in the passing game very often.  That is my main question with him.  He has good size and is very violent at the point of contact.  He also has decent, but not great speed.  I think the 3rd/4th round turn is a solid spot to draft him.  

- Tommy Havey (@DynastyProsTom)

 

3.10 QB Tanner McKee, 6’6”, 230 lbs, Stanford

For the past couple years, Stanford has, well, frankly, they’ve sucked. But if there was a reason to watch the Cardinal, it was Tanner McKee. At 6’6”, 230, you literally couldn’t miss him. If you watch him throw, you might think he has a literal whip for an arm, but it’s an actual human arm. An arm that can make throws all over the field. No one will confuse him for Lamar Jackson on the run, but he’s a good enough athlete to run when needed and can drop dimes on the move. He’ll need to tighten up his throwing motion, so he’s not going to be considered among the top tier of QBs in this draft, but for a team that needs a quarterback but doesn’t want to go the retread route and may not have the draft capital to take one of the elite, McKee is a worthy investment.

- Joel Wirth (@TheJoelWirth)

 

3.11 RB Deuce Vaughn, 5’6 176 lbs, Kansas State

Vaughn profiles to be a fantastic third down back, but one who will not carry the load as a starter.  A prototypical pass catching running back is very appealing in fantasy football.  Although he’s not one to run through the tackles due to his small stature, players like Darren Sproles, for example, show that you don’t need to be big to succeed.  It’s hard not to hear the word dynamic when speaking of Deuce Vaughn and he’s sure to be a steal in the draft.

- Tim Lazenby (@mrLazenby_)

 

3.12 WR Rakim Jarrett, 6'0 190 lbs, Maryland 

We have reached the stage of the draft where I am now looking for unique traits. None of the players left on the board are perfect prospects or they would have been gone a long time ago. Rakim Jarrett has one of the traits that can make it easier for him to get on the field sooner and that is the ability to run after the catch. NFL offenses love simple plays to get the ball in space in the hands of guys who know how to move with it. He is a bit undersized and I am not sure about him making contested catches or being a threat downfield but if he can find the right spot, he can produce. 

- Doug Harrelson (@DougHarrelson)

 

4.01 WR Nathanial Dell, 5'9 165 lbs, Houston

This could be a pick that is ultimately being lit on fire but this is what I want to be doing in the later rounds of rookie drafts. High-ceiling guys that could pop. Nathaniel Dell may be small but he has obscene amounts of quickness in that little body. Even if he does not possess all the skills of an NFL wide receiver, I imagine he will land a roster spot as a return man somewhere if nothing else. Being on the roster is half the battle then if he can get some run at wide receiver, perhaps he can flash there. His draft capital may change my thoughts if he goes undrafted. 

- Doug Harrelson (@DougHarrelson)

 

4.02 TE Sam LaPorta, 6’4 249 lbs, Iowa

LaPorta has been tagged as a player with few red flags, but also few show stopping qualities.  But just because you don’t blow analysts away, it doesn’t mean LaPorta isn’t enticing.  He’s already shown he can be placed all over in formation and his soft hands should give him a decent floor in the receiving game.  I do worry about his pass blocking abilities, which are key at the position, but he’s not the only college tight end that will need to work on it at the NFL level.  I identify him as a top five option at the position and worthy of selection late in rookie drafts.

- Tim Lazenby (@mrLazenby_)

 

4.03 WR A.T. Perry, 6’5”, 205 lbs, Wake Forest

A.T. Perry is a player whose draft stock will be heavily dependent on his combine showing. The tape shows a receiver who’s fast and can get open on a variety of routes. Is he elite fast? Is he really 6’5”? Is he really 205? I have my doubts about the last one, but we’ll see. I’d like to have seen him go to the Senior Bowl, as Wake’s offense, while productive, could get a bit gimmicky. If he can answer his pre-draft questions positively, he may be another Jordan Addison, at a more palatable price.

- Joel Wirth (@TheJoelWirth)

 

4.04 TE Zack Kuntz, 6’8 251 lbs, Old Dominion

Outside of Michael Mayer, Kuntz is probably my favorite TE.  He is definitely the most intriguing TE prospect IMO.  A massive target that also runs well, Kuntz has the potential to be a monster in the NFL.  He has great pass catching skills, but he will have to prove health and productivity at a much higher level than he competed in while at Old Dominion.  

- Tommy Havey (@DynastyProsTom)

 

4.05 RB Chris Rodriguez, 5'11 224 lbs, Kentucky 

Rodriguez is not an explosive runner, however he is a decisive runner with good feet and vision. He will be a backup for whoever drafts him, but he’s still worth grabbing due to potential injuries. He’s a dart throw here in the 4th round. 

- Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

4.06 WR Puka Nacua, 6'2 205 lbs, BYU

Puka has all the physical traits to be a useful piece in NFL offenses.  Nacua has a history of making the most out of his limited touches in games.  In 2021, he averaged 18.3 yards per reception; in 2022, he averaged 13 yards per catch.  Nacua runs a limited route tree (as of now), but should progress as he develops as a receiver.  Puka, at times, can get too comfortable with using his body to make catches rather than his hands.  He will need to improve on that in order to be a weekly starter in fantasy football.  However, with his ability to track the deep pass, I see a lot of Gabe Davis in his game.

- Goody (@JGoody77)

 

4.07 QB Jaren Hall, 6'1 205 lbs, BYU

Hall lacks the ideal size that other recent QBs have had that have succeeded early in the NFL; Joe Burrow (6’4, 215), Justin Herbert (6’6, 236), and Josh Allen (6’5, 237).  There will be questions about his overall size and whether he can handle the rigors of the physical nature of the  NFL.  However, Hall can sling the ball around.  He can make all the necessary throws expected of an NFL quarterback and has demonstrated composure in the pocket. Hall could be a quarterback prospect that is disregarded due to size that may end up being a top notch starter for years; in some ways like Russell Wilson (both also played baseball).  For a late, rookie draft flier, I love Jaren Hall’s potential.

- Goody (@JGoody77)

 

4.08 QB Stetson Bennett, 5'11 190 lbs, Georgia 

This 25 year old QB is big game tested. He has the arm strength to make most NFL throws. He’s a confident player who sees the field very well. He especially stands out if a play breaks down with his high football IQ and quick-thinking. With as many injuries at the quarterback position as we’ve seen in the NFL, Bennett could very well be a starting QB by mid-season. To grab him in the 4th round of a Superflex draft could be highway robbery. 

- Bob Miller (@DynastyBobFF)

 

4.09 RB Roschon Johnson, 6’2 223 lbs, Texas

If not for fellow Longhorn Bijan Robinson, Johnson would have been a very productive starter at Texas…or anywhere else in the country for that matter.  In my opinion, Johnson is the most underrated RB in this draft class and is a steal in the 4th round.  

- Tommy Havey (@DynastyProsTom)

 

4.10 RB Mohamed Ibrahim, 5’10”, 210 lbs, Minnesota

Mohamed Ibrahim looked like a star in the making, until opening week of the 2021 season when he tore his achilles tendon in a game against Ohio State. Then, in a near Cam Akers level comeback, he was back and ready to play for the Gophers to open 2022. He doesn’t offer much in the passing game, but to paraphrase Judge Smails in Caddyshack, the world needs two down pounders, too.

4.11 WR Xavier Hutchinson, 6’3 205 lbs, Iowa State

I was shocked to see Hutchinson was still available this late in our mock draft.  He gives a combination of size and speed that are sure to be coveted.  The knock against him is that he looks like a player who struggles with versatility.  A one trick pony, Hutchinson hasn’t shown he can run a multitude of routes.  That being said, he’s near the top of the class in mid field running, stretching a play and outreaching defenders.  I’m more than happy to select him this late in the draft and the burner potential leaves me more than happy to draft him.

4.12 WR Andrei Iosivas, 6'3 212 lbs, Princeton

The honor of Mr. Irrelevant for this mock draft goes to Andrei Iosivas out of Princeton. We are once again swinging for the fences in the last round. I am extremely curious to see how he performs at the combine when lined up next to all these other prospects from the big schools. The obvious concern here is his lack of competition at the collegiate level but the athletic profile raises an eyebrow. This is another prospect where perhaps the NFL will shed some light based on how highly he is drafted. Definitely a player I will be paying a lot of attention to during the pre-draft process.

2023 Offseason Look Ahead: Wide Receivers Part 1

January 28, 2023 by Doug Harrelson

2023 Offseason Look Ahead: Wide Receivers Part 1

By Doug Harrelson

We have fully hit mock draft season and everyone is in the process of fine-tuning rookie ranks while rookie hype is building up more and more each day. This is always an excellent time to be buying veterans for a discounted rate. None of the receivers we are about to talk about have expensive price tags but some of them possess some real upside for the 2023 season. The WR market also has some big fish potentially available for trade like DeAndre Hopkins and Brandin Cooks. Today we are gonna focus on the ones that we know will be available as free agents this offseason. For Part 1 we are also going to primarily focus on WRs that line up on the outside then for Part 2 we will look into slot receivers and tight ends. Without further adieu, let's introduce you to the 2023 wide receiver free agent class.

Michael Thomas

Best Case: NYG

The Michael Thomas situation is quite confusing at this point but the Saints restructured his contract in such a way that they can let go of Thomas sooner and save some money on the books. Thomas is on board with this because it will allow him to hit free agency sooner to try to land a lucrative deal this offseason. I like the idea of giving Daniel Jones a target that can help him move the sticks. A big-bodied possession receiver could be just the answer he needs. Daniel Jones’ accuracy on intermediate routes pairs nicely with how well Michael Thomas works in this range. I doubt we ever get anything like his historic 2019 season again out of him but anyone that has rostered him this long would be happy to even get WR3 numbers out of him next season at this point. If you have a new member taking over an orphan team in a league, this is the kind of player they will easily part ways with as a throw-in on a bigger trade. 

DJ Chark

Best Case: DAL

After a nice start to his career, Chark suffered a bad ankle injury right before hitting free agency that made a 1-year “prove-it” deal in Detroit the best option for DJ Chark. Unfortunately for him, I’m not sure he will get a lucrative contract this off-season. He may again be looking for a chance to prove himself worth the bigger multi-year deal. A spot that would make a lot of sense if that is his plan for the offseason is Dallas. Their primary WR is CeeDee Lamb but he does a majority of his work from the slot. Adding a receiver like Chark to the outside adds a deep threat for Dak. A guy he can throw it up to and let him play some bully ball. Plus with Dalton Schultz potentially leaving in free agency, they could use the red zone threat that DJ Chark provides.

JuJu Smith-Schuster

Best Case: BUF

If you do not think that JuJu Smith-Schuster can beat out Gabe Davis then this is obviously a much worse landing spot. I think it will spark a hot debate over the offseason and allow you to move off of JuJu Smith-Schuster before the season starts. There is some enticing upside here when he was a number two wide receiver to Antonio Brown he was going in the first round of startup drafts. I am not a huge fan of his talent and his game so I am not as excited about his 2023 prospects. He will certainly find a landing spot that will get him some touches but he did this year as well and was maddeningly inconsistent. It is hard for me to get too excited for a player who is leaving an offseason with the best quarterback on the planet for anywhere else. If I had shares, I would keep my fingers crossed for a good landing spot and then flip for the best I can get. 

Allen Lazard

Best Case: Wherever Rodgers Goes

The Lizard King will be out on the open market this offseason. Lazard has been a trusted weapon of Aaron Rodgers for a few years now, in particular in the red zone. We do not have a great sample size of Lazard without Rodgers so it is hard to say what happens if they are separated this offseason. One interesting possibility is the idea of them playing together for another team like the Jets. I could see him trying to follow Aaron Rodgers to another team but if not, he would be a fine addition to any contender looking for a capable threat in the red zone like Dallas or New England.

Darius Slayton

Best Case: KC

Darius Slayton is so close to being a really nice dynasty asset. His ability to get open down the field is fantastic. The combination of drops and not having a quarterback with an elite deep ball has hurt his production quite a bit though. If he were to get unlocked by a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes though, all bets are off. The Chiefs may get more production out of Slayton than they ever did with JuJu Smith-Schuster. This could be a very cost-effective way for the Chiefs to give Mahomes some deep weapons to work with while spending more of their cap space on the defensive end of the ball that they so desperately need help on. 

Marvin Jones Jr.

Best Case: CHI

The Bears trading for Chase Claypool was designed to give a big body and a deep threat. It has not exactly panned out the way they planned though. Marvin Jones Jr. could provide some cheap help on the outside that could be used both as a deep threat, a red zone threat, and a possession receiver to move the sticks. It isn’t exactly flashy or exciting but I think the Bears are going to want to add multiple bodies to their wide receiver room this offseason. They could easily trade for another wide receiver and draft someone and still have room in the starting rotation for Marvin Jones Jr. I don’t think there is too much upside in acquiring him in dynasty but it is nice to at least consider the possibilities that exist after free agency.

2023 Offseason Look Ahead: Running Back Part 2

January 22, 2023 by Doug Harrelson

2023 Offseason Look Ahead: Running Back Part 2

By Doug Harrelson

The article I wrote last week was about lead running backs, this week we are taking a better look at complementary backs. Some guys are right on the threshold of both. Guys like Alexander Mattison and Tony Pollard that I wrote about last week may end up in complementary roles while some of these guys may get lucky enough to be the lead guy in a backfield when free agency and the draft are done. I am only going to be discussing backs not previously discussed in Part 1. Most of these guys are relatively cheap and may even find their way onto the waiver wire at some point. Most teams will be looking for depth during the offseason so we are going to focus more on the potential free agents rather than the potential landing spots.

Devin Singletary

Best Case: BUF starter

I believe it is more likely than not the Bills will let Singletary walk and probably draft or pick someone up in free agency to pair with James Cook in the backfield. If Singletary can stay there though, he will always have some touchdown upside. He has been an overachiever since the Bills drafted him. He has managed to secure a lot of volume for a guy as small in stature as Singletary is. There is a chance he is starting somewhere next season but I think the most likely scenario is he is in a committee or used primarily as a spell back to change up the pace. 

JaMycal Hasty

Best Case: MIA Starter

I am likely higher than the consensus on Hasty but every time I see him get touches he does something explosive with them. It is worth a look on your waiver wire for Hasty. The biggest fear I have for Hasty is that he could end up back in Jacksonville behind Etienne again. He is a restricted free agent so the Jags can easily hold onto him should they wish to. If Hasty can get out of being a backup, he has shown the ability to both create big plays and finish at the goal line. If given the right workload I could see Hasty being one of the biggest steals of your offseason.

James Robinson

Best Case: LV Starter

James Robinson managers have been through quite the up-and-down experience with James Robinson. After a promising rookie year, the Jaguars take Etienne in the 1st round, and then Robinson suffers a terrible Achilles injury at the end of that season. With everyone expecting Etienne to take over, Robinson is surprisingly effective early in the season despite being just a few months removed from the injury. Robinson was then traded to the Jets who lost Breece Hall but Robinson ends up getting beaten out for touches by Zonovan “Bam” Knight and Michael Carter. While Robinson is technically an RFA, I see no real reason for the Jets to keep him when they weren’t using him with Breece Hall not available. With Hall coming back, Robinson is likely to be available in free agency. I like the idea of him landing in Vegas to replace the touches from Josh Jacobs. Likely cheaper for the Raiders than Jacobs if they want to go after a veteran QB in the offseason. 

D’Ernest Johnson

Best Case: BUF Starter

This is one of the high-upside players available in this free-agency class. With minimal tread on the tires playing behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, the right landing spot could cause a massive bump in his value on the spot. Right now you may be able to get him off of waivers or as an add-in on a trade with a huge upside. He has looked the part coming in due to injuries. I like the idea of landing him in Buffalo to be the 1st and 2nd down guy to go with James Cook as the guy they split out and use on 3rd down. He could be successful in a variety of situations as long as he can get some volume. All this being said, my strategy here is to flip him if a landing spot causes a jump in value. Flipping RBs for anything always looks good when you look back two years before. 

Raheem Mostert

Best Case: MIA Starter

Much less true upside on this one. The Dolphins could easily draft someone or pick up any of these potential free agents to take over the backfield. Mostert has some impressive traits but isn’t getting younger. If he lands back in Miami and they do not add anyone to the backfield, he will still be serviceable as some depth. Either way, wherever he goes, he is going to need to get lucky to get a majority of the workload and probably doesn’t do enough in the passing game to get there as a change of pace back.

Rashaad Penny

Best Case: NYG Starter

This landing spot only works if the Giants do not re-sign Barkley. I feel like he is likely to go to a place that also drafts a back. I can’t think an NFL team would be willing to trust Penny exclusively as their plan at Running Back given his injury history. Penny has shown to be capable of some high-level running even if he has never given a good return on his 1st round investment. Penny is a guy that I root for to stay healthy because I’m sure the experience he has had in the NFL with all the injuries has been a tough one to go through.

Boston Scott

Best Case: KC Spell Back

Most of you are likely familiar with Boston Scott as that guy that snipes all of Sanders's touchdowns against the Giants. For those unaware, Boston Scott has 16 career rushing touchdowns with 9 of them against the New York Giants. Scott has a small frame that he uses to be elusive. That skill set could be highly utilized by a coach like Andy Reid in all sorts of ways. Using him to offset a guy like Pacheco who works between the tackles could be interesting for a guy like Scott. He likely is already rostered by the Miles Sanders manager in your league that would happily move off of him as a throw-in on another deal. 

This is a group I love to try and get shares of for the cheap and try to flip with a good landing spot. I can also be convinced to hold if I think the spot could work out for them in the season and I am a contender needing some depth. I would try to sell these guys pre-draft if you decide you want to sell. The hype of the landing spot after free agency can take a massive hit if Bijan or Gibbs come to town. It happens every year so don’t get greedy and be caught holding the bag. I hope everyone is enjoying their Dynasty offseason and the NFL Offseason, Good luck and Happy Trading!

Rookie Spotlight: Jahmyr Gibbs

January 20, 2023 by Kyle Highfill

Rookie Spotlight: Jahmyr Gibbs

By Kyle Highfill

Jahmyr Gibbs

RB, Alabama, 5'11 200lbs

Jahmyr Gibbs is an athletic, versatile RB that could take the league by storm. Gibbs had 2 successful seasons at Georgia Tech before transferring to Alabama last year. His freshman year he had 89 carries for 460 yards and 4 touchdowns, adding 24 receptions for 303 yards and three receiving touchdowns. His sophomore year, he had 143 carries for 746 yards and 4 touchdowns, adding 36 receptions for 470 yards and 2 touchdowns. In his lone season at Alabama, he had 151 carries for 926 yards, adding 44 receptions for 444 yards and 3 touchdowns. He crushed a normal average, averaging over 5 yards a carry and over 12 yards a reception for his entire collegiate career.  

At 5’11, 200 pounds, Gibbs doesn’t possess the ground and pound ability that Bijan Robinson might bring to the table, but I think might be able to supply stability in fantasy from his catching ability. A type of player that could peak at levels of comparison to Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Charles. Some could even compare him to the skill level of Deebo Samuel. Gibbs’ short-area athleticism, vision, and creative-making skills are rare to find. During a 70-yard touchdown this season, Gibbs was clocked at 22.32 MPH. These traits are why he should go at minimum in the 2nd round of the NFL draft. I expect him to go in the top 4 of all non-superflex rookie drafts. 

The Eagles, Cowboys, and Raiders all have RBs that are free agents. If they do not sign them before the draft, it could be a big possibility they will go after Gibbs. DEN is in a predicament as Javonte Williams probably won’t be back til mid-season and won’t be fully healthy. They are in win-now mode with Russ so don’t be shocked if they snag him. James Conner has been good for fantasy purposes but is getting old. He has two years left on his contract, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a new coach wanted more youth to build around Kyler. JK Dobbins will hopefully be fully healthy next year, but if there’s any sign of concern this offseason, they will need someone to attack that rushing offense for them next year.

My prediction is that he will be selected at pick 61 to Carolina or at pick 64 to the Eagles. No matter where he ends up though, he is a MUST draft in fantasy, especially PPR.

2023 Offseason Look Ahead: Running Back Part 1

January 19, 2023 by Doug Harrelson

2023 Offseason Look Ahead: Running Back Part 1

By Doug Harrelson

 

 

The 2022 NFL postseason has begun as well as the beginning of the dynasty offseason. The early process of building out a rookie draft board and evaluating your team's chances for the 2023 season. It is a fun time of year where hope springs eternal for your team whether rebuilding or competing for the championship this year. Knowing how your team will look after the offseason is easier said than done. The lead back this past season may not be the lead back next season for many backfields. This week we are going to focus in particular on the lead backs as we look ahead to the offseason in front of us.

 

Like with the Quarterback discussion, we need to discuss the assumptions we are working with. I will take a different approach with the RBs though. I am assuming all the pending FA RBs will in fact hit free agency. Obviously teams can sign or franchise a guy but that takes one guy out of the free agency pool and one lead running back seat out of the ecosystem. Unlike quarterbacks though, running backs are much more likely to hit free agency even after a big season. I am also aware a few teams could cut RBs as cap savings or to move towards a rebuild like Dallas, Tennessee or Tampa Bay. 

 

At a glance, these are the teams that could be in the market for a guy to lead the backfield (get at least 55% of the RB touches):

MIA, BUF, LV, KC, ARI, CHI, ATL, CAR, PHI, WAS, NYG

 

Obviously teams like the Raiders and Giants could franchise tag or keep their star RB but for the sake of argument let's say they walk. We will also have at least one team sign or draft a guy that we like that could hurt both of their values. We see it every single offseason. Finally we could have some teams just roll with what they have there already. For Example, KC with Pacheco, Las Vegas with Zamir White or Chicago with Khalil Herbert. So it looks like we have eleven teams that could be in the market for a lead guy in their backfield. At the time of writing, I see about eight guys I believe are good enough in free agency to warrant 55% of the touches. This opens up about three spots for rookies (in a good RB class as well) or fringe starters. We expect more than three RBs in this class to be main guy material so some of these guys will end up with a smaller workshare. Let’s discuss the potential lead backs now.

 

 

TIER ONE

 

Saquan Barkley

Best Case: Miami Dolphins Starter

The prized jewel of the free agent class. Saquan Barkley is everything you could possibly want in an elite running back. I think the most likely scenario for him is to be franchise tagged by the Giants but assuming he does hit the market, I think the most exciting landing spot is Miami. With the threat of two of the fastest in the league on the outside, it will be hard for teams to bring a safety into the box to deal with Saquan. The Dolphins would have perhaps one of the most terrifying groups of skill players in the entire NFL. That being said, he feels landing spot proof. The unique talents of Saquan Barkley are going to produce fantasy points wherever he plays at.

 

Josh Jacobs

(Aric Crabb/Bay Area News Group)

Best Case: Philadelphia Eagles Starter

While I think there is a good chance the Giants keep Barkley, I do think the Raiders may be willing to move off of Jacobs. With their QB situation an issue and Jacobs not likely to do any favors after his fifth year option was declined by the team, it seems likely that Jacobs will hit the market. He will draw attention for anyone looking to beef up their RB room. I like the idea of landing him in Philly to complement that group of offensive weapons and take over for fellow free agent running back Miles Sanders. I am not sure what his passing game usage will be wherever he goes but it likely cannot be less. Jacobs has shown to be consistently able to produce between the tackles so no matter where he goes, he is sure to get a large workload.

 

TIER TWO

 

Kareem Hunt

(Joshua Gunter, cleveland.com)

Best Case: Buffalo Bills Starter

The real best spot is Kansas City for Hunt’s skill set but given his history with the Chiefs, I do not foresee that coming to pass. If Kareem Hunt were to sign in Buffalo, his value would skyrocket to the moon. Granted, most RBs would get a boost being put in an offense like Buffalo’s but Hunt in particular has the perfect skill set to really succeed in that offense. He can both run between the tackles and catch the ball out of the backfield. Operates at his best in space which will be provided in ample amounts thanks to the Bills spread offense. We have been waiting for Hunt to get a backfield to himself for a while now, hopefully this offseason he finally does.

 

Miles Sanders

Best Case: Kansas City Chiefs Starter

Another location that would help a lot of RBs value provided they can beat out Pacheco for the job. I know a lot of people are high on Pacheco but I think Miles Sanders is clearly the better talent. Miles Sanders could give the Chiefs yet another source of offensive explosion to complement the aerial assault provided by Patrick Mahomes. A lot of this redzone nonsense the Chiefs do could really suit Sanders athletic skill set. Miles Sanders gets a weird reputation in the dynasty community but I think a lot of that has to do with his inconsistent volume in Philly as well as freakishly bad touchdown luck in 2021. This season Miles Sanders has been very solid for fantasy managers and more than paid off his offseason ADP. I look forward to seeing where he lands in 2023.

 

David Montgomery

Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Best Case: Miami Dolphins Starter

I have tried really hard to not just list the same places multiple times but the Miami job would be good for a variety of players. Montgomery would fit so nicely in the scheme the Dolphins run. With Saquan Barkley, he will be successful wherever he goes because of how far above the curve he is at everything. Montgomery however, will be a bit more landing spot dependent. I don’t think he needs to be in an offense that heavily uses their backs in the passing game, he just needs to be in an offense that is efficient when it runs the ball. The landing spot of Miami would give him ample opportunity to succeed without too much competition for reps in the backfield. 

 

TIER THREE

 

Tony Pollard

Best Case: Kansas City Chiefs Starter

This final tier is guys that will have to get lucky to avoid a committee situation where they are the 1B. At the top of this tier is Tony Pollard. Pollard has been usable in fantasy despite being the second fiddle in the Cowboys offense thanks to his big play ability. Similar to the reasons for Miles Sanders, Pollard could give them more access to explosive plays out of the backfield. His offseason value could have a massive spike even if it isn’t Kansas City that he lands in. If you want to buy him this could be the last window to do so. You are taking on risk that the NFL sees him as a complementary piece and not a full time guy, but the upside in the right situation is hard to ignore. 

 

Jamaal Williams

Best Case: New York Giants Starter

Jamaal Williams has been awesome in fantasy football for us this past season. A word of caution though, a bulk of his fantasy scoring has come from scoring touchdowns. The issue is that those are difficult to repeat. His best hope is to land somewhere that he will get most of the work near the goal line. I think the Giants could provide such a home if Saquan is off somewhere else to get a payday. While Daniel Jones possesses mobility, he is not built for running near the goal line like some of these other bulkier mobile QBs like Hurts and Allen. The Giants also lack elite pass catching options to trust in the red zone. Jamaal Williams could be used to grind out wins with that improving defense and play complementary football. 

 

Alexander Mattison

Best Case: Chicago Bears Starter

Within the Vikings’ locker room, Alexander Mattison has the nickname the “sous-chef.” Throughout his career, Mattison has been an elite handcuff option for Davlin Cook managers. This offseason, Mattison will get a chance to dip his toes into the free agent waters and perhaps be a backup no more. Every time Mattison has had an opportunity he has been terrific. If he could ever get consistent volume perhaps he could make the jump. The idea of him landing in Chicago makes a lot of sense to me. A team without a ton of good pass catching options that is likely to be a run first team next season would really be good for Mattison. The difficult part about this landing spot would be beating out Khalil Herbert for more touches. If he can, I could see him being very successful and help give the Bears a physical identity to match the environment of Chicago in the cold winter months. 

 

While the upside of some of these guys is clear, I would approach with caution. Like I said before, at least one of them will get into a bad situation because a team drafts another back or signs multiple. The tier one guys I feel confident in wherever they land. The tier two guys have me reasonably confident but aware that they could get beaten out by a rookie or end up in a committee situation. Some of the tier three guys will land a gig all to themselves while I believe that some of the tier three guys will end up splitting the workload. I will see you next week with the complementary backs of this free agency class! Good Luck and Happy Trading!

Rookie Spotlight: Bijan Robinson

By Tommy Harvey

 

Bijan Robinson

RB, Texas 6’0 220lbs

Bijan Robinson is 1.01 in most people’s rookie mock drafts, so I doubt I’m telling you anything you don’t know.  However, in case you didn’t know, Bijan Robinson is a STUD!  He will arguably be a top-5 fantasy asset the day he is drafted, and will push for RB1 notoriety in his rookie season.  

Robinson is almost the ultimate running back.  He has prototypical size.  He has breakaway, house-calling speed.  He has good vision and cutback ability.  He is good in pass protection.  He has good hands and route running ability, to the point of being able to split out wide in certain formations.  

I did say almost the ultimate running back, right?  He does tend to run a bit upright between the tackles that can open him up to some danger.  Adrian Peterson did too, and that didn’t seem to hinder him too much.  Robinson is the best RB to enter the NFL Draft since Saquan Barkley, and I have no qualms in drafting him in the 1st round of a startup draft.

 

Best Fits

 

Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals are a team in flux right now.  Kliff Kingsbury was fired, DeAndre Hopkins is rumored to be on the trade block, and they need playmakers to take the pressure off Kyler Murray. 


Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders declined Josh Jacobs 5th year option last offseason, and he went on to lead the NFL in rushing.  With Jacobs on the way out, Vegas needs to make a move at RB.  

 

Philadelphia Eagles

Miles Sanders is a free agent at season’s end.  The one thing Philly lacks is an elite RB to pair with Jalen Hurts.

 

Prediction

Philadelphia Eagles - With two 1st round picks, the Eagles not only have a need for an elite RB, they have the ability to take the next big thing early on during night 1 of the draft.
