Who should I take number one overall in fantasy football? ›

Don't overthink things and just draft Justin Jefferson. While Christian McCaffrey and Austin Ekeler are fine selections, as is Ja'Marr Chase, Jefferson is the best Fantasy option in 2023. He's seen his PPR points per game increase by two each year (17.1 to 19.4 to 21.6), and hopefully that happens again this season.

The Gist: Fantasy football uses plenty of different slang words and terms. "Del" means "delisted." Players that are delisted can't earn points for the team.

Point Per Reception (ESPN Standard)

In PPR leagues, each player in your starting lineup receives points per every reception. Each reception is worth 1 point in ESPN Standard leagues and can be customized in custom leagues.

Fantasy players should only consider Kelce with the 1.01 pick if they use a Zero-WR draft strategy. While the top-end talent drops off quickly, there has never been more depth at the wide receiver position. Last year, 30 qualifying wide receivers averaged 10.2 or more half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

I mentioned that I'm all about minimizing risk this year, and Jefferson does exactly that, especially in half-PPR and PPR formats. I would definitely be targeting McCaffrey with the No. 2 pick and think he is a cut above the players ranked right below.

What does row Z mean in football? ›

STD: Standard scoring format, typically used in football, where no points are awarded for a reception. Miscellaneous. PA Rank: Points Against Rank, used in fantasy football to rank defenses based on the average number of points allowed per game.

The most trusted fantasy football analyst is the most accurate fantasy football analyst. And that would be Jared Smola from Draft Sharks, winner of the Multi-Year Projection Accuracy Award. That award goes to the fantasy football analyst with the most accurate projections for a 3-year period.

Most fantasy football leagues decide their draft order by the reverse order of last year's standings, or by letting the computer randomly generate the order approximately one hour before the draft begins.

If you go strictly by ADP, the No. 11 pick is the best draft position in 12-team PPR leagues. CeeDee Lamb, Davante Adams, Lamar Jackson, and Alexander Mattison are all strong values available at pick No. 11.
