These dynasty football rankings are fluid and should be used as a general guide to value players. Many players’ values are dependent on whether a roster is contending for a title or in the process of rebuilding, but in general, dynasty rankings align much more closely with redraft rankings in-season. As such, certain veterans ranked below younger prospects in my rankings could still be worth acquiring in a trade straight up for a contender, and some high-upside prospects may make more sense for a rebuilding team even if ranked below some veteran producers at the position.
The influx of a talented 2023 rookie class will shake up these dynasty football rankings a bit, as Bijan Robinson projects to be an immediate top-five dynasty startup pick in 1QB formats with elite RB1 potential. Taking into account team need and roster construction, here are my updated top-200 dynasty football rankings assuming a standard 1QB format with PPR scoring (you can find my superflex rankings here). And be sure to check back for updated dynasty rankings after training camps begin!
Dynasty Football Rankings
Last updated on Monday, May 1st.
Rank | Pos Rk | Player | Pos | Team | Comments | Draft Pick Value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | WR1 | Justin Jefferson | WR | MIN | ||
2 | WR2 | Ja'Marr Chase | WR | CIN | ||
3 | RB1 | Bijan Robinson | RB | ATL | Robinson has elite RB1 potential as a workhorse in Arthur Smith's efficient run scheme if Ridder can be even an average QB. | Rookie 1.01 |
4 | RB2 | Breece Hall | RB | NYJ | Hall was electric in 7 games as a rookie, and that was with Flacco and Wilson. He should have more red-zone looks with Rodgers. | |
5 | RB3 | Jonathan Taylor | RB | IND | ||
6 | WR3 | AJ Brown | WR | PHI | ||
7 | WR4 | Jaylen Waddle | WR | MIA | ||
8 | WR5 | CeeDee Lamb | WR | DAL | ||
9 | WR6 | Garrett Wilson | WR | NYJ | Wilson should excel with Rodgers in 2023, but his fantasy ceiling was already priced into his dynasty value. He stays at WR6. | |
10 | QB1 | Patrick Mahomes | QB | KC | ||
11 | QB2 | Josh Allen | QB | BUF | ||
12 | QB3 | Jalen Hurts | QB | PHI | ||
13 | QB4 | Lamar Jackson | QB | BAL | Jackson should excel with Beckham and Flowers under Monken, but either way, his rushing production keeps him a strong QB1. | |
14 | RB4 | Christian McCaffrey | RB | SF | ||
15 | RB5 | Saquon Barkley | RB | NYG | Barkley hasn't signed his franchise tag yet, so there's some risk of a holdout. This is a situation to monitor. | |
16 | WR7 | Amon-Ra St. Brown | WR | DET | ||
17 | WR8 | Chris Olave | WR | NO | ||
18 | WR9 | Drake London | WR | ATL | ||
19 | RB6 | Travis Etienne | RB | JAX | ||
20 | WR10 | DeVonta Smith | WR | PHI | ||
21 | WR11 | Tee Higgins | WR | CIN | ||
22 | WR12 | Deebo Samuel | WR | SF | ||
23 | WR13 | DK Metcalf | WR | SEA | ||
24 | RB7 | Austin Ekeler | RB | LAC | With the NFL Draft having passed without a trade, Ekeler seems in line for another RB1 season with LAC as of now. | |
25 | RB8 | Josh Jacobs | RB | LVR | Jacobs hasn't signed his franchise tag yet, so there's some risk of a holdout. This is a situation to monitor. | |
26 | TE1 | Mark Andrews | TE | BAL | ||
27 | TE2 | Travis Kelce | TE | KC | ||
28 | RB9 | Jahmyr Gibbs | RB | DET | Montgomery will vulture some TDs, but Gibbs can be a strong RB2 with RB1 upside with projected receiving usage. | Rookie 1.02 |
29 | WR14 | Stefon Diggs | WR | BUF | ||
30 | WR15 | Tyreek Hill | WR | MIA | ||
31 | WR16 | Jaxon Smith-Njigba | WR | SEA | JSN's ceiling may be capped as a rookie, but SEA will likely move on from Lockett after 2023, so JSN has plenty of long-term upside. | Rookie 1.03 |
32 | WR17 | Zay Flowers | WR | BAL | Many dislike the landing spot, but Flowers has a chance to win the No. 1 WR role in an aggressive Todd Monken-led passing attack. | Rookie 1.04 |
33 | QB5 | Justin Fields | QB | CHI | ||
34 | QB6 | Anthony Richardson | QB | IND | Richardson might be the most athletic QB in the history of the NFL. He's immediately a top-12 fantasy QB with top-5 upside. | Rookie 1.05 |
35 | WR18 | Davante Adams | WR | LVR | ||
36 | WR19 | Cooper Kupp | WR | LAR | ||
37 | WR20 | Marquise Brown | WR | ARI | Still in his prime at age 26, Brown was WR7 in PPR PPG from Weeks 1-6 without Hopkins, and Hopkins is expected to be traded. | |
38 | TE3 | Kyle Pitts | TE | ATL | ||
39 | TE4 | George Kittle | TE | SF | ||
40 | RB10 | Najee Harris | RB | PIT | ||
41 | RB11 | Tony Pollard | RB | DAL | ||
42 | RB12 | Rhamondre Stevenson | RB | NE | ||
43 | RB13 | Kenneth Walker | RB | SEA | Adding Charbonnet in Rd 2 clearly signals that SEA intends to utilize a committee backfield, which limits Walker's fantasy ceiling. | |
44 | TE5 | Dallas Goedert | TE | PHI | ||
45 | TE6 | TJ Hockenson | TE | MIN | ||
46 | TE7 | Dalton Kincaid | TE | BUF | Trading up to secure Kincaid means BUF has an impact role in mind for Kincaid. Just remember that TEs usually take a couple of years. | Rookie 1.06 |
47 | QB7 | Joe Burrow | QB | CIN | ||
48 | QB8 | Justin Herbert | QB | LAC | Herbert has a high ceiling Kellen Moore and the addition of Quentin Johnston to bolster an aging WR corps. | |
49 | QB9 | Trevor Lawrence | QB | JAX | ||
50 | WR21 | DJ Moore | WR | CHI | ||
51 | WR22 | Chris Godwin | WR | TB | ||
52 | WR23 | Terry McLaurin | WR | WAS | ||
53 | WR24 | Diontae Johnson | WR | PIT | ||
54 | WR25 | Michael Pittman | WR | IND | ||
55 | RB14 | Nick Chubb | RB | CLE | ||
56 | RB15 | JK Dobbins | RB | BAL | ||
57 | WR26 | Amari Cooper | WR | CLE | ||
58 | WR27 | Treylon Burks | WR | TEN | ||
59 | WR28 | Jerry Jeudy | WR | DEN | ||
60 | WR29 | Mike Evans | WR | TB | ||
61 | WR30 | Quentin Johnston | WR | LAC | If Johnston can develop and become more consistent, he has the size to be a No. 1 WR, but he's just a role player for now. | Rookie 1.07 |
62 | WR31 | Jordan Addison | WR | MIN | It's hard to project consistent targets and production for Addison alongside Jefferson and Hockenson, but he can have some big games. | Rookie 1.08 |
63 | WR32 | Jameson Williams | WR | DET | Williams is only facing a 6-game suspension, but further time off from real game action only hinders his potential development. | |
64 | RB16 | Joe Mixon | RB | CIN | ||
65 | RB17 | Dalvin Cook | RB | MIN | ||
66 | RB18 | Devon Achane | RB | MIA | With defenses occupied by Hill and Waddle, Achane will have opportunities to break big plays with his own speed even without a workhorse role. | Rookie 1.09 |
67 | RB19 | Isiah Pacheco | RB | KC | ||
68 | RB20 | D'Andre Swift | RB | PHI | Swift joins a top offense, but he could still lose some touches and goal-line work to Penny. Whichever RB can stay healthy will benefit. | |
69 | WR33 | Rashee Rice | WR | KC | The latest in a slew of Rd 2 WRs for KC, Rice is a fair athlete with YAC skills and an opportunity to carve out a role on the best offense in the NFL. | Rookie 1.10 |
70 | WR34 | Brandon Aiyuk | WR | SF | ||
71 | WR35 | Christian Watson | WR | GB | Watson showed his raw athleticism as a rookie, but he's still a WIP, and it's unknown how well Love will run this offense. | |
72 | WR36 | Jahan Dotson | WR | WAS | ||
73 | WR37 | Courtland Sutton | WR | DEN | ||
74 | WR38 | DeAndre Hopkins | WR | ARI | Reports are that ARI will trade Hopkins, and at age 31, he's no longer a top-end WR1, but he should see volume wherever he goes. | |
75 | RB21 | Cam Akers | RB | LAR | ||
76 | RB22 | Dameon Pierce | RB | HOU | ||
77 | RB23 | AJ Dillon | RB | GB | ||
78 | RB24 | Aaron Jones | RB | GB | Jones figures to split work with Dillon with questions about overall offensive efficiency with Rodgers gone. | |
79 | RB25 | Derrick Henry | RB | TEN | ||
80 | RB26 | James Cook | RB | BUF | ||
81 | RB27 | Javonte Williams | RB | DEN | ||
82 | WR39 | Calvin Ridley | WR | JAX | ||
83 | WR40 | Christian Kirk | WR | JAX | ||
84 | WR41 | Kadarius Toney | WR | KC | ||
85 | WR42 | Jakobi Meyers | WR | LVR | ||
86 | WR43 | George Pickens | WR | PIT | ||
87 | TE8 | Pat Freiermuth | TE | PIT | ||
88 | TE9 | Darren Waller | TE | NYG | ||
89 | TE10 | Dalton Schultz | TE | HOU | ||
90 | RB28 | Khalil Herbert | RB | CHI | ||
91 | WR44 | Brandin Cooks | WR | DAL | ||
92 | RB29 | Zach Charbonnet | RB | SEA | It's likely to be a committee with Walker, but Charbonnet could still see a valuable receiving role for fantasy purposes. | Rookie 1.11 |
93 | RB30 | Damien Harris | RB | BUF | ||
94 | RB31 | Miles Sanders | RB | CAR | Both CAR and ARI declined to add RB help in the draft, so Sanders and Conner are projected for heavy workloads as of now. | |
95 | RB32 | James Conner | RB | ARI | ||
96 | TE11 | Sam LaPorta | TE | DET | LaPorta is a solid pass-catcher but lacks size and speed. Target volume is questionable with ARSB, Gibbs, and Williams in DET. | Rookie 1.12 |
97 | TE12 | Michael Mayer | TE | LVR | Mayer can be a good possession receiver and red-zone threat but probably won't have the same kind of yardage Waller saw when healthy. | Rookie 2.01 |
98 | QB10 | Deshaun Watson | QB | CLE | ||
99 | QB11 | Trey Lance | QB | SF | ||
100 | QB12 | Tua Tagovailoa | QB | MIA | ||
101 | QB13 | Dak Prescott | QB | DAL | ||
102 | QB14 | Kyler Murray | QB | ARI | With ARI potentially holding the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks for the 2024 NFL Draft, Murray might be on the move next year. | |
103 | RB33 | Alvin Kamara | RB | NO | ||
104 | RB34 | Rachaad White | RB | TB | ||
105 | RB35 | Rashaad Penny | RB | PHI | Penny was never projected to see a big passing-down role even prior to the Swift trade. Penny's a sneaky buy low if he can get GL work. | |
106 | WR45 | Keenan Allen | WR | LAC | ||
107 | WR46 | Rashod Bateman | WR | BAL | With the addition of Beckham and Flowers, BAL is suddenly a crowded passing attack, and Bateman could be the odd man out. | |
108 | WR47 | Tyler Lockett | WR | SEA | ||
109 | WR48 | Mike Williams | WR | LAC | ||
110 | TE13 | David Njoku | TE | CLE | ||
111 | TE14 | Evan Engram | TE | JAX | ||
112 | TE15 | Greg Dulcich | TE | DEN | ||
113 | WR49 | Marvin Mims | WR | DEN | Mims has excellent speed to stretch the field and could see immediate target opportunity if DEN were to trade Jeudy or Sutton. | Rookie 2.02 |
114 | WR50 | Jonathan Mingo | WR | CAR | CAR reached in Rd 2 for Mingo as one of the few WRs in this class with size. He can contribute as a rookie, but fantasy upside is iffy. | Rookie 2.03 |
115 | RB36 | Samaje Perine | RB | DEN | Perine could have a big role if Javonte Williams isn't ready or 100% by Week 1 with DEN not having added any RBs in the draft. | |
116 | RB37 | Jamaal Williams | RB | NO | ||
117 | RB38 | Alexander Mattison | RB | MIN | There are rumors that MIN could release Cook in June, so Mattison could be a buy-low depending on what the Vikings decide. | |
118 | RB39 | David Montgomery | RB | DET | Montgomery can be a flex option with some some goal-line work like Williams saw last year with added upside if Gibbs were to miss time. | |
119 | QB15 | Bryce Young | QB | CAR | The size concerns will linger, but outside of that, Young's profile gives him a fairly safe floor as a serviceable QB2 in fantasy. | Rookie 2.04 |
120 | QB16 | CJ Stroud | QB | HOU | The biggest concern is whether Stroud can succeed in a dysfunctional HOU organization. That and whether he'll run more in the NFL. | Rookie 2.05 |
121 | QB17 | Daniel Jones | QB | NYG | ||
122 | QB18 | Kirk Cousins | QB | MIN | ||
123 | QB19 | Kenny Pickett | QB | PIT | The trade up for Broderick Jones to upgrade the OL will hopefully give Pickett a chance to develop heading into Year 2. | |
124 | RB40 | Tyjae Spears | RB | TEN | Spears having no ACL or cartilage in one knee is a big red flag long-term, but TEN could trade Henry, giving Spears short-term upside. | Rookie 2.06 |
125 | RB41 | Tank Bigsby | RB | JAX | JAX has been looking for a complement for Etienne since they traded James Robinson, and Bigsby could be the goal-line back. | Rookie 2.07 |
126 | RB42 | Kendre Miller | RB | NO | Miller lacks speed, but he's one-cut runner with good vision and could have some upside early in the year while Kamara is suspended. | Rookie 2.08 |
127 | RB43 | Antonio Gibson | RB | WAS | ||
128 | TE16 | Cole Kmet | TE | CHI | ||
129 | TE17 | Luke Musgrave | TE | GB | Musgrave can earn targets with his athleticism and route-running in this GB offense devoid of pass-catching playmakers outside of Watson. | Rookie 2.09 |
130 | WR51 | Jayden Reed | WR | GB | Like Musgrave, Reed will have an opportunity to earn targets in GB, but overall offensive efficiency with Love is yet to be seen. | Rookie 2.10 |
131 | WR52 | Skyy Moore | WR | KC | ||
132 | WR53 | Odell Beckham | WR | BAL | Beckham is a better real-life signing for BAL than for fantasy. At 30 years old, he's likely just a fantasy WR3 with WR2 upside. | |
133 | WR54 | Allen Lazard | WR | NYJ | With Aaron Rodgers officially in NYJ, Lazard can be a boom-or-bust WR3 as the No. 2 WR behind Garrett Wilson. | |
134 | RB44 | D'Onta Foreman | RB | CHI | ||
135 | RB45 | Brian Robinson | RB | WAS | ||
136 | RB46 | Leonard Fournette | RB | FA | ||
137 | RB47 | Ezekiel Elliott | RB | FA | ||
138 | WR55 | Gabriel Davis | WR | BUF | ||
139 | WR56 | Khalil Shakir | WR | BUF | ||
140 | RB48 | Zach Evans | RB | LAR | Evans lacks top-end speed but has enough burst to be a complementary back and fill the old Sony Michel role for LAR. | Rookie 2.11 |
141 | TE18 | Juwan Johnson | TE | NO | With NO having traded Trautman to DEN, Johnson could seize the starting TE role and see significant target share in 2023. | |
142 | TE19 | Luke Schoonmaker | TE | DAL | Schoonmaker is more of a blocker, but he does have some speed to threaten downfield and opportunity with Schultz gone. | Rookie 2.12 |
143 | QB20 | Geno Smith | QB | SEA | SEA passing on a rookie QB in Round 1 and adding JSN gives Smith a fair fantasy floor and ceiling for 2023. | |
144 | QB21 | Jared Goff | QB | DET | Goff should hold off Hooker for the starting job for at least 2023, and the addition of Gibbs and LaPorta gives Goff top-12 upside. | |
145 | QB22 | Will Levis | QB | TEN | Levis may not have 1st round draft capital, but TEN trading up in Round 2 suggests that Levis could play a bit even as a rookie. | Rookie 3.01 |
146 | QB23 | Brock Purdy | QB | SF | ||
147 | QB24 | Mac Jones | QB | NE | ||
148 | QB25 | Derek Carr | QB | NO | ||
149 | QB26 | Russell Wilson | QB | DEN | ||
150 | RB49 | Jerome Ford | RB | CLE | ||
151 | RB50 | Elijah Mitchell | RB | SF | ||
152 | RB51 | Gus Edwards | RB | BAL | ||
153 | QB27 | Aaron Rodgers | QB | NYJ | Rodgers has good surrounding talent on offense in NY, but he's still a short-term answer at QB in dynasty on the cusp of retirement. | |
154 | QB28 | Jimmy Garoppolo | QB | LVR | LVR having passed on a rookie QB in Round 1 gives Garoppolo job security for 2023 as a useable QB2 option in fantasy. | |
155 | QB29 | Matthew Stafford | QB | LAR | ||
156 | WR57 | Isaiah Hodgins | WR | NYG | ||
157 | WR58 | Darnell Mooney | WR | CHI | ||
158 | RB52 | Tyler Allgeier | RB | ATL | The draft capital spent on Bijan relegates Allgeier to a backup or complementary role, at best. | |
159 | WR59 | Rondale Moore | WR | ARI | ||
160 | WR60 | Alec Pierce | WR | IND | ||
161 | WR61 | Adam Thielen | WR | CAR | ||
162 | WR62 | DJ Chark | WR | CAR | ||
163 | WR63 | Donovan Peoples-Jones | WR | CLE | ||
164 | WR64 | Elijah Moore | WR | CLE | ||
165 | TE20 | Trey McBride | TE | ARI | ||
166 | TE21 | Jelani Woods | TE | IND | ||
167 | WR65 | Michael Thomas | WR | NO | ||
168 | WR66 | Robert Woods | WR | HOU | ||
169 | WR67 | JuJu Smith-Schuster | WR | NE | ||
170 | RB53 | Sean Tucker | RB | TB | A medical concern caused Tucker to go undrafted, but he's supposedly been cleared and could battle White for the lead role in TB. | Rookie 3.02 |
171 | RB54 | Israel Abanikanda | RB | NYJ | Abanikanda has upside if Hall were to miss time in 2023 if he can win the No. 2 RB job over Knight and Carter. | Rookie 3.03 |
172 | QB30 | Desmond Ridder | QB | ATL | With a lot of talented skill position players around him, Ridder will have the entire 2023 season to prove if he can be ATL's long-term QB. | |
173 | QB31 | Jordan Love | QB | GB | With Rodgers gone, Love will finally have a chance to show what he can do heading into 2023. | |
174 | QB32 | Sam Howell | QB | WAS | Like Ridder and Love, Howell will have the 2023 season to prove to WAS's new ownership that he deserves to be the long-term starter. | |
175 | QB33 | Hendon Hooker | QB | DET | Goff is likely to start for all of 2023, but depending on how the season goes, Hooker could step into an offense loaded with offensive talent. | Rookie 3.04 |
176 | RB55 | Jeff Wilson Jr. | RB | MIA | The addition of Achane means that one of Wilson or Mostert will be the odd man out, though the other will have a complementary role. | |
177 | RB56 | Raheem Mostert | RB | MIA | ||
178 | RB57 | Devin Singletary | RB | HOU | ||
179 | WR68 | Jalin Hyatt | WR | NYG | Hyatt is the newest addition to NYG's crowded WR depth chart, but he could carve out a role given his 3rd round draft capital. | Rookie 3.05 |
180 | WR69 | Wan'Dale Robinson | WR | NYG | ||
181 | WR70 | Zay Jones | WR | JAX | ||
182 | WR71 | Romeo Doubs | WR | GB | ||
183 | WR72 | Josh Downs | WR | IND | Downs has the explosiveness to create big plays, but he's unlikely to be a consistent fantasy producer alongside Pittman and Pierce. | Rookie 3.06 |
184 | WR73 | Nathaniel Dell | WR | HOU | Dell lacks the size to be more than a complementary piece at the NFL level, but there's opportunity for targets in HOU's barren WR room. | Rookie 3.07 |
185 | WR74 | Kayshon Boutte | WR | NE | Despite a disappointing final year at LSU, Boutte is still a YAC playmaker who could end up leading NE in targets given their lacking WR room. | Rookie 3.08 |
186 | RB58 | DeWayne McBride | RB | MIN | McBride could see an immediate role alongside Mattison if/when MIN were to move on from Dalvin Cook in June. | Rookie 3.09 |
187 | WR75 | Hunter Renfrow | WR | LVR | ||
188 | WR76 | Tyler Boyd | WR | CIN | ||
189 | WR77 | Curtis Samuel | WR | WAS | ||
190 | TE22 | Gerald Everett | TE | LAC | ||
191 | TE23 | Chigoziem Okonkwo | TE | TEN | ||
192 | TE24 | Tyler Higbee | TE | LAR | ||
193 | WR78 | Michael Wilson | WR | ARI | Wilson has decent size and speed to see some targets if/when ARI moves on from DeAndre Hopkins prior to the 2023 season. | Rookie 3.10 |
194 | RB59 | Kenneth Gainwell | RB | PHI | ||
195 | TE25 | Darnell Washington | TE | PIT | Target volume will be a concern, but Washington could eat into Freiermuth's red-zone looks and have weekly TD upside. | Rookie 3.11 |
196 | QB34 | Ryan Tannehill | QB | TEN | TEN seems set on replacing Tannehill. He could still have some use in 2023, but he'll be on a short leash with Levis waiting in the wings. | |
197 | QB35 | Kyle Trask | QB | TB | With TB having passed on a Round 1 rookie QB, Trask can battle Mayfield for the starting job to show what he can do in 2023. | |
198 | WR79 | Cedric Tillman | WR | CLE | Tillman seems to be an eventual big-bodied replacement for Donovan Peoples-Jones, but he likely won't contribute much in 2023. | Rookie 3.12 |
199 | TE26 | Noah Fant | TE | SEA | ||
200 | RB60 | Chuba Hubbard | RB | CAR |
