2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Rankings – Where Do the Top Rookies Fit in?

The dust has settled following the break neck pace of the three day NFL Draft extravaganza last weekend. It was as fun to follow as any draft in recent memory. From the big trades, to surprise draft capital, to landing spot reactions, it was hard to catch a breath.

We updated our team’s consensus rookie rankings last night; you can find them here.
If you want to see how the players were valued in six rookie mock draft exercises, you can see that detail in Vol. 3 of our fantasy football rookie draft guide series.
Our team continually refines our 2023 dynasty fantasy football rankings, which you can check out here.

This rookie class will continue to be debated over the course of the next few days as dynasty rookie drafts commence. We’ve got to get even more practical now though to be at the top of our dynasty strategy game. Want to move a veteran for a pick or player? Or move a pick for a veteran?

Let me show you how I’m valuing Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Anthony Richardson alongside established veterans, complete with post-NFL Draft analysis.

Bijan Robinson

Bijan Robinson slots in as my new RB1 for 2023 dynasty fantasy football rankings. His stellar profile didn’t take any hits from draft capital or landing spot. He’ll benefit from a fantasy situation being managed by a coaching staff which has a strong history of winning via an effective power rushing attack^[1]Arthur Smith was a key strategist in the Titans’ Derrick Henry boom.

Per our Advanced Stats Explorer, among back with 150 carries in 2022, Tyler Allgeier ranked T-6 in yards per carry and T-7 in carries executed through the designed gap. It’s going to be so much fun to see what Robinson can do in this situation.

Bijan Robinson Superflex Dynasty Value

Rank	Position	Player
9	QB	Justin Herbert
10	QB	Lamar Jackson
11	RB	Bijan Robinson
12	RB	Breece Hall
13	RB	Jonathan Taylor

Bijan Robinson and his four most similarly valued players in superflex dynasty rankings.

I think Robinson is as sterling as prospects come from a pick-safety perspective. However, I also think it’s fair to question whether he can reach the elite fantasy football production heights of prime Christian McCaffrey, Austin Ekeler, or Alvin Kamara. Rushing yards and touchdown scoring opportunities will abound, but I’m not sure he has 100 target upside in this offense. His fantasy upside may more closely track with the 2021 Jonathan Taylor season (1811/18 rushing, 40/360/3 receiving) or perhaps prime Ezekiel Elliott in contrast to the recent elite NFL receiving backs. If this proves to be true, Robinson may already be close to his peak dynasty value.
