Fantasy Football Draft Guide 2023

The Athlon Sports 2023 Fantasy Football Annual arrives in time to help fantasy owners prepare for a championship season. The 2023 edition has more than 350 in-depth player reports, a 280-player big board, a cheat sheet for draft day and team-by-team analysis from NFL beat writers around the country. We also debate who should be the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy drafts. Between multipurpose weapons Christian McCaffrey and Austin Ekeler and record-setting receivers Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase, there’s depth at the top. Each season brings new lessons and new fantasy trends, and in our feature story ""99 Fantasy Facts from the 2022 Season,"" we present some fascinating statistical factoids from last season that should provide some valuable insights as 2023 approaches. One fairly recent development that has had a significant fantasy impact: the growing importance of wide receivers. The elite wideout is fantasy gold, and you can't win your league without one. In our feature ""Rise of the Receivers,"" we take a deep dive into fantasy's transition from a running back-dominated hobby to a receiver-ascendant enterprise. A new feature this year: a comprehensive 20-page Betting Guide to the 2023 NFL season. We'll help you enter the 2023 season as a prepared and educated bettor with in-depth odds analysis and other how-to tips. There’s also a rundown of familiar faces in new places following this chaotic offseason, as well as injury concerns from 2022 who may or may not bounce back this season. We also provide our usual Rookie Roundup, and we size up an intriguing sophomore class of players who could be poised to break out — or could be facing the dreaded “sophomore slump.” Whether your fantasy league is head-to-head, rotisserie, PPR or IDP, or if you’re a Dynasty or Daily Fantasy aficionado, Athlon Sports Fantasy Football Annual has all the stats and in-depth insight to help you take the first step toward winning a fantasy football championship."
