Matthew Berry’s Way, Way Too Early 2023 Rankings

With the 2022 fantasy football season now complete, here are my Way, Way Too Early 2023 Rankings. As always, I’ll release a full list of updated ranks following free agency and the NFL draft, but for now here is how I would rank the top-50 if I was drafting TODAY.

Some caveats, of course.

I’m ranking folks based on PPR scoring and I am ranking them as it stands right NOW in the NFL. Obviously, this will change significantly over the next months as we head towards August 2023, but these take into account a bunch of assumptions. First, that NFL teams remain exactly the same as they are now (obviously won’t happen) so, for example, with these rankings I am assuming Josh Jacobs is back with the Raiders and they haven’t added any significant RB that would take away from his massive workload. Similarly, Tony Pollard is still on the Cowboys and splitting work with Ezekiel Elliott. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are still catching passes from Geno Smith. You get the point. Further, I am also assuming that every injured player comes back fully healthy by Week 1. Not just the Cooper Kupp‘s of the world but also, like, Kyler Murray for DeAndre Hopkins’ ranking.

Enough caveats for you? Good. Here we go.
