I had hoped he would be drafted on day two, so being drafted on day three in an offense with Breece Hall is disappointing. One of the biggest post NFL Draft fallers, Israel Abanikanda, was drafted in the fifth round by the New York Jets. Israel Abanikanda – Running Back – New York Jets New quarterback CJ Stroud was rumored to have wanted him in Houston too, and now the two will pair together for the long haul. He didn’t need it at the Senior Bowl either, repeatedly making plays on opposing cornerbacks during open practices. Dell is highly skilled though and is fantastic at creating space from defenders even without possessing elite speed. Not bad in itself, but very poor when considering his slighter frame. Despite being a Senior Bowl standout, he fell in fantasy football rankings due to a 4.49 40-yard dash time. Tank Dell is one of the most unique players in the 2023 NFL Draft class standing only 5’8, 165 pounds. Nathaniel “Tank” Dell – Wide Receiver – Houston Texans He could still be cut and was out snapped by Samaje Perine in two of three playoff games. Brown is likely just another rotation piece, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on him given the status of Joe Mixon. Furthermore, he boasts solid size and is coming off of having a workhorse role in the Illinois offense. Brown is a terrific athlete and had a very productive NFL Combine as well. The fifth round draft capital was expected, however, playing in the Bengals’ offense is what is getting fantasy managers excited. New York also possesses a lot of slot wide receivers already, so it will be interesting to see where he plays in the offense.Ĭhase Brown – Running Back – Cincinnati BengalsĬhase Brown is a very intriguing player coming off a very productive career at Illinois. His speed will open up the Giants’ offense, but being a regular fantasy contributor isn’t likely. Hyatt is a burner and a deep threat, but doesn’t stand out in many other areas. There were even rumors of him being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, however, he fell to the Giants at 73rd overall. Jalin Hyatt was the beneficiary of an injured Cedric Tillman and was the best Tennessee wide receiver in 2022. Jalin Hyatt – Wide Receiver – New York Giants Elijah Moore and Donovan Peoples-Jones will provide competition for targets, but this is as clear a path as any to snaps in two wide receiver sets. The Cleveland wide receiver room is crowded too, but he is still tied to Deshaun Watson for his rookie contract. Nonetheless, health and a lack of top-end speed led him to be a third round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. He was also the top target for Hendon Hooker in 2021 before struggling with injuries. Unlike many in this class, Cedric Tillman has prototype size and athleticism for the NFL. These include issues catching the football and only two career forced missed tackles.Ĭedric Tillman – Wide Receiver – Cleveland Browns There are some glaring holes in his game though that drive his fantasy value. His athleticism and natural route running ability make him an attractive fantasy option as well. Regardless, Musgrave has been fully cleared medically and was a standout at the NFL Combine.

Injuries and the Oregon State offense ultimately prevented him from making an impact at the collegiate level. Luke Musgrave – Tight End – Green Bay Packersĭespite not having a lot of college production, Luke Musgrave has a ton of upside.

Anthony Richardson has a long way to go as a passer, and his target share will likely be inconsistent. However, for fantasy purposes, there could have been much better landing spots.

Downs was very productive in college and should have a long NFL career. At just 5’9, he is still the best contested catcher in the class. Josh Downs was one of my favorite receivers in the pre-draft process because he plays much bigger than his size. Josh Downs – Wide Receiver – Indianapolis Colts As always, check back with TWSN daily for more fantasy football and NFL content.ĭynasty Fantasy Football Superflex Rookie Rankings (1-12)ĭynasty Fantasy Football Superflex Rookie Rankings (13-24) The 2023 NFL Draft class didn’t turn out how some fantasy managers hoped, nevertheless, there are still some very exciting players available who could be fantasy contributors.
