A Touch of Fantasy by Arthur Henry Adams

Richardson had 654 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground last season for Florida. The 6'4', 244-pound quarterback has the highest relative athletic score of any quarterback prospect since 1987, per Kent Lee Platte of Pro Football Network. Now Steichen gets the opportunity to build an offense around one of the most unique athletes to play the position. But even in his first season as a starter in Philly, he finished as QB8 in fantasy football. Hurts broke out in the 2022-23 season with a campaign that removed all doubt he was the Eagles franchise quarterback and a fantasy superstar. Steichen's crowning achievement as a coach so far is the work that he did with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Stroud, but his athleticism, running ability and pairing with head coach Shane Steichen and the Indianapolis Colts puts him ahead of the curve from a fantasy perspective. He's far from a finished product and isn't as polished as Bryce Young or C.J. His prolonged delivery probably needs to be reworked, and he's going to have to break some bad habits he developed at Florida that led to some inefficiency as a passer. Now that we have a nearly complete picture of the situation each rookie will be placed in, let's look at the top projected quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends from this class.įor this exercise, we will assume a points-per-reception (PPR) league redraft league, although we'll touch on some dynasty thoughts throughout the predictions.Īnthony Richardson has a lot of development to do.

Whether it's a running back who landed in a clear timeshare situation or a talented wide receiver who got paired with a lackluster quarterback situation, landing spot can severely damage their value.Īlternatively, an ideal situation can prop up a prospect who might not be as talented. When it comes to fantasy football and projecting the value of rookies, talent is only half the battle. Now it's time to figure out who is set up for instant success and whose stock is hurt by their landing spot. The 2023 NFL draft is complete, which means we know where the top fantasy football prospects will be playing next season. Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs AP Photo/Thomas Graning
