Buccaneers running back Rachaad White averaged 11 Fantasy points per game during his rookie season despite sharing time with Leonard Fournette. White flashed three-down potential as a receiving option out of the backfield, making him one of the Fantasy football breakouts. However, he is playing in an offense that is now without veteran quarterback Tom Brady. Could that turn White into one of the 2023 Fantasy football busts to fade on draft day? Roster changes, especially at the quarterback position, can be one of the key factors to look for when reading through quality 2023 Fantasy football advice. Which players should you prioritize in your 2023 Fantasy football dynasty rankings?
Before crafting your 2023 Fantasy football draft strategy, be sure to check out the 2023 Fantasy football rankings and 2023 Fantasy football cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last year, the model accurately predicted that Texans running back Dameon Pierce would carry significantly more value than expected during his rookie season. The result: Pierce went on to rush for 939 yards and four touchdowns despite missing four games and also had 165 receiving yards and a score. The model predicted Pierce would provide RB2 value and he did exactly that prior to the injury that cost him the final four games of the year.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, calling Tony Pollard a sleeper last year and also identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in 2020, along with 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 projections update multiple times daily, so you’re always getting the best Fantasy football advice.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire NFL season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy football rankings 2023, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top 2023 Fantasy football breakouts
One of the 2023 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Vikings receiver Jordan Addison. The No. 23 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft was one of the best receivers in college football at the University of Pittsburgh in his sophomore year. Addison had 100 receptions for 1,593 yards and 17 touchdowns over 14 games, winning the Biletnikoff Award, which goes to the nation’s top receiver, in 2022. He proved the ability to produce against stronger competition at USC last season with 59 receptions for 875 yards and eight touchdowns over 11 games.
Addison will be a complementary piece in one of the NFL’s best passing offenses from last season. Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was fourth in the league in passing yards (4,547) and fifth in touchdowns (29), as the Vikings ranked eighth in the NFL in scoring at 24.9 points per game. Justin Jefferson has elevated himself into the conversation of the best receiver in football and will draw constant double-teams. With other pass-catching options such as K.J. Osborn and T.J. Hockenson, defensive coordinators will have nightmares prepping for the Vikings’ offense and Cousins, who will enter his 12th NFL season, has the experience to maximize these weapons. With Adam Thielen joining Carolina, expect Addison and his six-foot frame to assume a similar role in an offense that lost Dalvin Cook and may be even more pass-heavy this year.
Another breakout that SportsLine’s Fantasy football rankings 2023 have identified: Packers tight end Luke Musgrave. Green Bay heads into the season with a pair of rookie tight ends and a new quarterback at the helm. Musgrave is expected to make more of an immediate impact than teammate Tucker Kraft, with Musgrave posting a 4.61 40-yard dash time at the combine.
The Oregon State product was limited to three games during his final collegiate season, catching 11 passes for 169 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets. He was outstanding at the NFL Combine, though, and could play an important role from day one in Green Bay’s revamped offense. SportsLine’s model has him ranked ahead of tight ends like Dawson Knox and Jelani Woods, who are both being selected before him according to the 2023 Fantasy football ADP.
