Justin Herbert is set up nicely for a bounce-back season. The Chargers improved at offensive coordinator with the hiring of former Cowboys’ OC Kellen Moore. They also added a stud wideout in the first round in Quentin Johnston.
There’s a good chance that Geno Smith retains solid dynasty value moving forward. The veteran quarterback had a breakout season last year and now the team added the top wideout in the draft in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Seahawks now have an exceptional trio at wide receiver.
Trey Lance is ranked relatively high at QB20 despite an undefined role because he’ll have a chance to win the 49ers’ job if Brock Purdy isn’t ready for the start of the season. Alternatively, if Purdy remains starter, Lance could wind up getting traded, where he can play elsewhere.
Keep an eye out for Sam Howell, who could see a big bump in value if he’s able to prove himself as a competent starting quarterback. The second-year signal caller has a lot of rushing upside, having gone for 823 yards in his final season at North Carolina.

Bijan Robinson is the immediate dynasty RB1 because he’s the total package. This is the best prospect since Saquon Barkley, profiling as a bellcow runner who can excel in the passing game. We also got a terrific landing spot in Atlanta, where Arthur Smith deploys a run-heavy scheme.
Jahmyr Gibbs is aggressively ranked as RB3 because he has the ideal profile in a dynasty running back. The former Alabama star has an elite receiving profile along with premium draft capital, playing in an offense that should be among the best in the league for the foreseeable future.
Be patient with Javonte Williams because once he regains full health, we could see terrific production, especially with Sean Payton at head coach. The Broncos’ running back can make an impact in the passing game, giving him a high ceiling moving forward.
Kenneth Walker III took a bit of a hit with the Seahawks’ selection of one of the best running backs in the draft in Zach Charbonnet. However, there’s a good chance that Walker can retain fantasy value because he’s a terrific runner. I’d bet that Charbonnet is just a change of pace, at least for the first two seasons.

Ja’Marr Chase is the number one player in dynasty because he’s tied to an elite quarterback in Joe Burrow for the long-term. Chase also is more of a red-zone threat than Justin Jefferson, providing you with more touchdown upside. Expect a massive year from the Bengals’ wideout in 2023.
You have to love the landing spot for Jordan Addison, who should see a lot of single coverage as opposing defenses devote attention to Jefferson. The former USC star has the separation skills to get loose downfield, giving the Vikings another terrific option in the passing game.
Calvin Ridley is motivated to show the league that he can still play at a high level, landing in a terrific situation in a pass-heavy offense with a franchise quarterback in Trevor Lawrence under center. However, Ridley is entering his age-28 season, so I’m conservative in his rank to bake in some risk.
I’m a big fan of Rashod Bateman, who just needs to stay healthy to have a breakout season in a new offense under play-caller. We’ve seen flashes of brilliance during Bateman’s brief career, it’s just a matter of health for him. I’m betting that he’ll be the top wideout in this offense, even ahead of rookie Zay Flowers.

It may take another year for Kyle Pitts to ascend to superstardom, but it’s going to happen at some point. Just think about this offense once they get good quarterback play. It’s going to be scary with Pitts, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson.
Dalton Kincaid has a lot of upside playing with Josh Allen and the Bills. We could see Kincaid get downfield targets, which is what you want to look for in your dynasty tight end. We’ve seen how Allen has fed Dawson Knox in the red zone, so perhaps the same will occur with Kincaid.
Look out for Sam LaPorta, who has an appealing athletic profile as a tight end who can make big plays downfield. This is a great landing spot in Detroit, especially since they traded away former starter T.J. Hockenson. LaPorta has a chance to make an immediate impact.
Trey McBride looks like a buy right now. Let’s not forget that he came into the 2022 NFL Draft as a highly-touted prospect, as evidenced by his second round draft capital. McBride put up 1,121 yards in his senior year at Colorado State. The new offense will feature more two-tight end sets.
How to Play a Dynasty Fantasy Football League
Dynasty fantasy football involves a different strategy than conventional one-year formats. While you’re still trying to win a championship, you have to be mindful of the big picture. You can’t just trade away future draft picks to help your roster in a win-now approach.
The best way to approach dynasty is to determine whether your team is good enough to contend or if a rebuild is in order.
If you have a contender, you can trade away future second-rounders to address any team needs. Try to hold onto your firsts because they can yield valuable young players.
If you’re primed for a rebuild, you can try to trade away some of your best assets for future draft picks or younger players.
Understanding whether your team is a contender or pretender is the key to success in dynasty fantasy football.
How Dynasty Differs from Redraft
Dynasty differs from redraft because you keep your entire roster following each season, whereas redraft leagues feature annual player drafts where you end up with a completely different roster. This makes dynasty fun because you get more attached to certain players while feeling like an actual NFL general manager.
Each dynasty league has a startup draft to kick off the league, where you select your entire roster. After that, the only drafts that occur will involve rookies, featuring players taken in each real NFL draft. These drafts are usually between three to five rounds.
Since you have annual rookie drafts in dynasty, this enables you to trade picks to address team needs, which adds another element of intrigue to the format.
Other than this, you have the same goal in dynasty as in redraft, which is to win the championship. However, you need to make sure not to mortgage the future.
Types of Players to Target in Dynasty
When building your dynasty roster, you need to be mindful of the following types of players to target:
- Quarterbacks and wide receivers are much safer assets than running backs, which are the most volatile position in dynasty football.
- Target players who are aged 27 or younger. Once a player has gotten past this age threshold, we often see a decline in value, so it may be time to trade them away.
- It’s a good idea to take a talented player with suppressed value due to their precarious situation. A good example of this is Trey Lance, who has an unclear role in the 49ers’ offense, but huge upside due to his rushing ability.
- If you’re a contending team, it’s a good idea to target veteran running backs during the season because you can fill your holes at a reasonable cost.
- If you’re rebuilding, try to go after talented young players who have underperformed so far, such as Elijah Moore or Rashod Bateman.
- Elite tight ends not only give you a major advantage at a scarce position, but they tend to have longevity. Targeting such players like Mark Andrews in a trade is a great idea.
