Success in season-long Fantasy football requires you to work the waiver wire and trade market, but the most important element is making quality 2023 Fantasy football picks. With 2023 Fantasy football draft prep underway, savvy owners are starting to turn their attention to the 2023 Fantasy football rankings. Landing potential 2023 Fantasy football sleepers who can dramatically outperform their 2023 Fantasy football ADP is a surefire way to outlast your competition.
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith went largely undrafted in 2022, but he wound up finishing as a top-five Fantasy QB after throwing for 4,282 yards and 30 touchdowns. Could Packers quarterback Jordan Love provide similar value in his first season as a starter after the Packers traded Aaron Rodgers to the Jets? Could new Jets receiver Allen Lazard move up the 2023 Fantasy football PPR rankings by reuniting with Rodgers? Before crafting your 2023 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2023 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Cowboys running back Tony Pollard would dramatically outperform his eighth-round Fantasy football ADP in PPR leagues. The result: Pollard supplanted Ezekiel Elliott as the most productive option in the Dallas backfield and finished the season with 1,378 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns. He finished as the No. 8 running back in PPR formats and finished ahead of Aaron Jones and Dalvin Cook, who both had top-10 overall ADPs.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, also identifying A.J. Brown as another sleeper in 2020 and players like Julio Jones and JuJu Smith-Schuster as Fantasy football busts last season. Additionally, it’s called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Anybody who banked on players like those made a run at their league title.
The model is powered by the same people who generated projections for all three major Fantasy sites, and it beat human experts last season when there was a big difference in ranking. The 2023 Fantasy football PPR rankings and 2023 Fantasy football standard rankings update multiple times daily, so you’re always getting the best Fantasy football advice.

Top 2023 Fantasy football sleepers
One of the 2023 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore. After three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, Moore saw his numbers fall off significantly in 2022 with the Panthers battling poor quarterback play. He caught 63 passes for 888 yards and seven scores. However, he was traded to the Bears during the offseason as a central figure in the trade for the No. 1 overall pick and now he’ll play with up-and-coming quarterback Justin Fields.
Still, there’s some general concern over just how often Chicago will throw the ball and Moore is currently the No. 22 receiver coming off the board in PPR leagues. However, the model is expecting the addition of Moore and two new starters on the offensive line to improve the Bears’ aerial attack and is ranking Moore as its No. 13 receiver for 2023.
Another sleeper that SportsLine’s Fantasy football rankings 2023 have identified: Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard. New York signed him to a four-year, $44 million contract this offseason, with $22 million guaranteed. Lazard is coming off the best season of his career, catching 60 passes for 788 yards and six touchdowns.
Lazard was just outside the top 10 in red-zone targets among wide receivers last year and should post similar numbers in New York given his chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Lazard caught 60% of his career-high 100 targets last year, averaging 7.3 targets from Weeks 2 to 9. SportsLine’s model believes Lazard is underrated in the 2023 Fantasy football WR rankings, making him a valuable addition to lineups in late rounds.
