The top 20 fantasy football players for 2023
NFL fans around the world have been eagerly anticipating the upcoming season that will be kicking off in 2023. As teams renegotiate contracts, evaluate talent and adjust their rosters, the NFL is abuzz with activity.
While there is still much to learn about what surprises this season might bring, NFL fans can look forward to months of exhilarating football.
Here, we look at the top 20 fantasy football player predictions for 2023.
Austin Ekeler – running back – Los Angeles Chargers
Ekeler is a veteran of the NFL, with 2023 being his seventh season. In 2022, he achieved 18 touchdowns, which makes him one of only four players to achieve 15 touchdowns or more in back-to-back seasons in 15 years.
Mike Evans – wide receiver – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
He’s a very experienced player in the NFL, with the 2023 season being his tenth. He holds several NFL records and will be a main pick of fantasy team managers.
Diontae Johnson – wide receiver – Pittsburgh Steelers
2023 will be Johnson’s fifth season in NFL and even after a turbulent 2022 season, we believe that this will be his season to shine again.
DK Metcalf – wide receiver – Seattle Seahawks
Metcalf had a strong 2022 season, with 1,000 yards plus and six touchdowns, so confidence will be high for a repeat of this in the 2023 season. The wide receiver also signed a three-year contract extension worth a huge $73m, so he will be looking to reward the team bosses too.
D.J. Moore – wide receiver – Carolina Panthers
A three-year contract extension signed in 2022 and a season with 1,157 yards completed and four touchdowns gives hope that 2023 will be the best season ever for this player.
Justin Jefferson – wide receiver – Minnesota Vikings
2023 will be Jefferson’s fourth season in NFL and will no doubt be as consistent as the last three. 2022 was a huge season, with over 1,800 yards receiving and eight touchdowns.
Patrick Mahomes – quarterback – Kansas City Chiefs
This multi-award winner and 2018’s Most Valuable Player is still performing well for the Chiefs, with 45 total touchdowns in the 2022 season, which means 2023 will likely be a big year too.
Copper Kupp – wide receiver – Los Angeles Rams
An insane season in 2021 brought his career-best yards and touchdown figures, and although this was not matched in the 2022 season, confidence in 2023 will be high.
Tyreek Hill – wide receiver – Miami Dolphins
Travis Kelce – tight end – Kansas City Chiefs
After a move from Kansas City Chiefs to the Dolphins in 2022, Hill achieved his best-ever season, receiving yards statistics and a good number of touchdowns too. He must be included in most fantasy teams for 2023.
This NFL legend has won the Super Bowl and has multiple records for the NFL and his club. 2023 is his 11th season of the NFL and is sure to be another 1,000+ yard season and more.

DeAndre Hopkins – wide receiver – Arizona Cardinals
Starting his fourth season at the Cardinals, Hopkins has had a couple of slower seasons but is surely due to get back to the highs of his days spent at Houston.
Derrick Henry – running back – Tennessee Titans
This NFL record holder and winner of the offensive player of the year is a consistent running back who can guarantee high rushing yards and touchdowns in every season he plays.
Josh Allen – quarterback – Buffalo Bills
A consistent quarterback, he has achieved a high level of touchdowns over the last three seasons at the Bills, which means he is sure to score lots of points in the fantasy leagues this year too.
Jalen Hurts – quarterback – Philadelphia Eagles
A career-best season in 2022 in his third year in NFL means 2023 will surely be the best yet.
CeeDee Lamb – wide receiver – Dallas Cowboys
A strong performance in 2022 with career highs means 2023 should be his season.
Breece Hall – running back – New York Jets
His debut season in the NFL showed some quality signs of what’s to come from Hall, so we believe 2023 will be the season for him to accumulate lots of points.
Travis Etienne – running back – Jacksonville Jaguars
Amari Copper – wide receiver – Cleveland Browns
Another newbie, his debut season of 2022 was a good one indeed, and 2023 will be a great one too.
2022 saw a move to the Browns from the Cowboys and a career-high for touchdowns. 2023 is sure to see even more from Copper.
Joe Burrow – quarterback – Cincinnati Bengals
The highest touchdown number in his career was achieved in 2022, which gives much promise for the coming season and some serious points tally for fantasy team owners.
Justin Fields – quarterback – Chicago Bears
Career bests in 2022 mean that his third season in the NFL in 2023 will be his best yet.
Good luck for the season ahead – we hope these picks grab you maximum points in the 2023 season!
